The crowd: "..."
Why can't he just say it all at once!
Don't they understand the principle of speaking quickly and getting to the point!
Amidst everyone's anticipation, he finally spoke slowly, "When the imperial physicians confirmed this, they were all stunned. Many of them were old servants of the palace who had been taking care of the Emperor's health, so they knew his condition like the back of their hands.
"Just last year, he was also shot in the right side, pierced through, but at the time, everyone thought his heart was on the left and didn't think it had a significant impact. Do you understand what I mean?"
The host paused at this point, not explaining directly.
But those present were utterly shocked.
They felt even more that this was a joke.
"How is that possible? Are you saying that within a year, his heart just moved to a different position?" The influential figures couldn't help but want to speak.
"I think this is probably just a legend."
"How could a person's heart change its position? Having it on the right side was already incredible, and now they're saying it moved from the left to the right. How is that possible?"
"This is just fully expressing that with this treasure, it represents having this treasure and being able to save a life."
The crowd chimed in one after another, clearly not believing this account.
The host chuckled, "These might all be just one way of looking at it. Let me tell you about two other strange things first."
After the host recounted the other two miraculous life-saving incidents, the people present might not have entirely believed them.
But...
Many felt that this matter was truly miraculous.
The host immediately said, "The person I'm talking about is a famous historical figure. I'm sure everyone has heard of his legendary life. Why don't you inquire about whether these few incidents are indeed true?"
The crowd fell silent, their eyes clearly filled with deep suspicion, while some had already begun to eagerly anticipate this treasure.
Mu Yin Yin raised an eyebrow, then lightly smiled and said, "I'd like to see what kind of treasure this is."
"Are you interested?" Jiang Ling looked at Mu Yin Yin and asked softly.
Mu Yin Yin curved her lips slightly, "I do want to see what kind of treasure it is."
Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.
After the host had spoken for a while, he finally prepared to unveil the red cloth.
In an instant, a piece of amber-colored jade stone was suddenly revealed to everyone.
Mu Yin Yin's eyes instantly froze!
Her gaze remained fixed on the stone. Fearing she couldn't see clearly, she looked at the big screen for a close-up of the stone.
Jiang Ling noticed her unusual demeanor and asked with some confusion, "Yin Yin, what's wrong?"
Clearly, Fu Si Ye, who was beside them, also noticed Mu Yin Yin's abnormality. He glanced sideways, saying nothing.
Mu Yin Yin pursed her lips, came back to her senses, and shook her head, "It's nothing."
She herself didn't know why, but when she saw the jade stone, it felt extremely familiar. It was even as if… some scenes had flashed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp them. She always felt like she had forgotten something.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, perhaps due to some privacy, Jiang Ling didn't press further.
However, he continued to pay attention to her.
Fu Si Ye's peripheral vision was also observing her.
"Alright, with so much introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding and decision regarding this jade stone. I will now announce that the bidding for this jade stone starts at ten million, with increments of five million. The auction begins now!"
For the last few words, the host deliberately used a certain tone and momentum to build anticipation, making many people even more eager.
Indeed, someone had already spoken.
"Ten million."
"Fifteen million."
"Twenty million."
"Twenty-five million."
The bidding for the item had begun.
Mu Yin Yin gazed at the jade stone, her eyes seeming to hold a hint of solemnity.
She remained silent, her eyes filled with deep contemplation.
Based on the current situation, she didn't need this item at all, it was completely useless to her.
But.
Mu Yin Yin felt in her heart that she had to bid for this item. If she didn't, she might regret it later.
She always felt like she had forgotten something. Perhaps it was due to the fire that caused her to lose some memories.
Seeing the price soaring, she directly raised her paddle, "Fifty million."
When Mu Yin Yin bid, Fu Si Ye and the others had a flicker of surprise in their eyes.
This item was being hyped so much because it possessed some miraculous power, which was why people wanted to bid for it.
But Mu Yin Yin, who didn't believe in such superstitious things, wanted to bid as well?
It was just a piece of amber-colored jade stone; you could buy truckloads of them if you wanted. Yet Mu Yin Yin wanted to spend a high price to buy this one?
The four men were a bit perplexed at this moment, unable to understand her intention for bidding.
"Fifty-five million."
"Sixty million."
Mu Yin Yin ignored their gazes and casually raised her paddle again, "Seventy million."
"Eighty."
"Ninety."
"One hundred million." Mu Yin Yin raised her paddle again. She hadn't followed the previous bids because she knew they would continue to go up, but this time was different.
Jiang Ling turned his gaze to Mu Yin Yin. He didn't say anything extraneous, but the question in his eyes was not hidden.
Mu Yin Yin's gaze flickered, and she looked at Jiang Ling, softly saying, "I'll tell you the reason later."
Jiang Ling nodded, "Okay."
One hundred million became a hurdle. Although many people believed in these things, they had not been verified, nor were they like praying to deities or Buddhas. Many people were simply seeking good fortune, even if it meant spending a little money for peace of mind.
However.
With the price now reaching this level, it made people question it to some extent.
They didn't seem very willing to continue bidding.
Sensing that everyone was hesitant to continue, the host chuckled and said, "Are any of you still deliberating? Then I will announce it. One hundred million, first call."
The crowd remained silent, seemingly unwilling to bid anymore.
The host spoke again, "One hundred million, second call."
"One hundred million, third call, sold!"
And so, Mu Yin Yin successfully bid for the stone at the price of one hundred million.
Many people looked at Mu Yin Yin with a hint of… mockery.
They looked at her as if she were a fool, considering her a fool who had fallen into a trap.
Lu Si Nian, however, looked at Mu Yin Yin with a slight smile, "Yin Yin, do you think this jade is very pleasing to your eye?"
Fu Si Ye glanced at Mu Yin Yin with his peripheral vision, saying nothing.
Mu Yin Yin raised an eyebrow, "More or less."
Qi Mo smiled enigmatically, "It seems your taste is quite good."
Mu Yin Yin: "..."
She didn't know how to respond to that statement.
