Chapter 1430 Emperor Green of Supreme Quality
Seeing Master Tian so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, the other antique masters were stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Master Tian, what exactly is this jade, why are you so excited?"
Master Tian took a breath, calmed his emotions, and stared at the extremely green jade, slowly uttering three words: "Emperor Green!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the judges' table fell into a deathly silence again.
On the other side, Qin Ling, Master Ma, and Master Zhou also recognized the jade rough as Emperor Green.
The gazes of the three men converged on Chen Xuan.
Due to the different attitudes of the three towards Chen Xuan, their expressions at this moment were vastly different!
Many Qin family members were confused, "Sister Xuelan, Emperor Green? What is Emperor Green?"
Qin Xuelan shook her head, "I'm not very proficient in jade, and I haven't heard of Emperor Green. If you want to ask, you'll have to ask Grandpa Qin Ling."
"Grandpa Qin Ling, what is Emperor Green?" someone quickly asked Qin Ling.
Qin Ling took a breath and looked at Master Ma, saying, "Master Ma, you are the expert in this area. Explain what Emperor Green is to them, and let them broaden their horizons."
All eyes turned to Master Ma.
Master Ma cleared his throat twice and slowly said, "When it comes to Emperor Green, I have to tell a story about Myanmar."
"As everyone knows, all jade rough from Xia Kingdom comes from Myanmar. Myanmar is the hometown of stone gambling, with ten famous fields producing precious jade rough. At that time, Myanmar was in turmoil, and various warlords fought fiercely to seize the ten famous fields. That era was comparable to the Warring States period of Xia Kingdom."
"The war continued until more than three hundred years ago. Suddenly, a woman of unparalleled beauty conquered the various warlords and occupied the ten famous fields. When the Queen of Myanmar ascended the throne, the jade inlaid on her phoenix crown was made of Emperor Green jade."
"Emperor Green is extremely precious. It is said that even Myanmar may not be able to mine a piece of Emperor Green jade in ten years, and generally, the largest piece of Emperor Green jade mined is no bigger than a fist."
Hearing this, the Qin family members stared at the jade rough, which was not much smaller than a head, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva!
Gulp!
Gulp!
"Oh my god, how much is such a large piece of jade rough worth?"
Someone muttered, and then pairs of eyes turned golden.
"I don't know, but I only know that it's probably inestimable," Master Ma sighed deeply.
He didn't know how to appraise such an unprecedented piece of jade rough. Anyway, he knew that this thing was worth a fortune.
However, they all knew that the Qin family had won this time.
Everyone looked at Chen Xuan again with envious eyes.
"Damn it, damn it! If I had kept this piece of jade rough earlier, wouldn't I have won for sure?"
Ma Erdao was so angry that he almost spat blood.
He thought Chen Xuan had picked up his trash, but he didn't expect Chen Xuan to find a treasure. This was undoubtedly a slap in his face!
At this moment, a group of so-called experts and masters on the stage, like people who had never seen the world, surrounded the Emperor Green, taking pictures and posing for photos. The scene was very chaotic.
From this scene, one can also imagine how precious this jade rough was!
"Master Tian, Master Zhang... shouldn't you announce the results first?"
The host couldn't stand it anymore and whispered.
Hearing this, everyone realized they were still on stage. They immediately put on serious faces, tidied their clothes, and resumed their dignified master demeanor, but their eyes kept scanning the Emperor Green.
Master Tian raised the microphone, cleared his throat twice, and said in a deep voice, "I announce that the third piece opened by the Qin family is Emperor Green. As the price of this jade is inestimable, it will not be evaluated for now. However, according to the discussion of our judging panel, the winner this time is the Qin family!"
"In addition, according to the rules of the Treasure Competition with a five-win-three rule, 'The Qin family wins!'"
The Qin family erupted in cheers, while the Ma family looked gloomy.
"Retreat!"
Ma Erdao roared, his face ashen, and with the Ma family, he abruptly left.
As he passed Chen Xuan, Ma Erdao suddenly stopped, "Chen Xuan, right? I, Ma Erdao, remember you. Don't let me encounter you in the antique circle in the future!"
Chen Xuan frowned. Before he could speak, Qin Ling immediately said coldly, "Ma Erdao, what are you trying to do to Mr. Chen? Are your Ma family sore losers?"
"Ma Erdao, I want to tell you today that if you dare to do anything to Mr. Chen, don't blame my Qin family for going to war with your Ma family!"
Ma Erdao was startled by Qin Ling's imposing manner and was choked.
"Good, you are very good..."
Ma Erdao turned and left.
Chen Xuan smiled at Qin Ling's attitude.
"Mr. Chen, we owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for your timely intervention, our Qin family would have lost for sure. Please accept my bow!"
Qin Ling cupped his fists solemnly and bowed.
"Mr. Qin is too polite. It's just a small matter, nothing to mention."
Chen Xuan quickly stopped Qin Ling.
What he said was not false; his actions just now were merely playful.
However, Qin Ling didn't know that he praised him endlessly, "Mr. Chen, you are truly too modest."
At the same time, he also made up his mind to keep Chen Xuan in the Qin family no matter what. Chen Xuan was not only proficient in antiques but also had high attainments in stone gambling. Such an all-around person was rare in the Qin family and even in the entire capital.
"The Treasure Competition has ended, so we will leave now."
Chen Xuan glanced lightly at Tian Shijie, Wei Linlin, and Lu Ling, preparing to say goodbye and leave.
Wei Linlin quickly took back the Tian Qing three-legged disk and Tang Bohu's painting, holding them tightly. These were all priceless treasures.
"Mr. Chen, please wait!"
Suddenly, Qin Ling spoke.
"Mr. Qin, is there anything else?"
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Qin Ling smiled, "This piece of supreme quality Emperor Green was opened by Mr. Chen, and it should belong to Mr. Chen!"
While saying this, Qin Ling gritted his teeth. According to the rules, everything opened in the stone gambling competition, regardless of its value, had to belong to the stone gambling master. This supreme quality Emperor Green was a priceless treasure, and he was truly unwilling to give it to Chen Xuan.
However, Qin Ling dared not break the rules, and moreover, he wanted to invite Chen Xuan to join the Qin family.
"There's such a thing?" Chen Xuan was also surprised.
"Wow, Chen Xuan, we're rich! Even Grandpa Tian Shijie said it's a priceless treasure, so it must be a priceless treasure. We don't know how much we can sell it for!" Wei Linlin's eyes sparkled with little stars.
"Then I won't be polite," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Qin Ling added, "Mr. Chen, I have an impolite request. I hope Mr. Chen can agree to it."
"What is it?"
"Mr. Chen, our Qin family wants to buy this piece of supreme quality Emperor Green at a high price to be our Qin family's ancestral treasure. I wonder if Mr. Chen can agree?"
Qin Ling added, "Our Qin family will definitely give Mr. Chen a satisfactory price."
