Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1354: What Is It

Elder Zhu and those Huaxia experts were also all smiles. They weren’t like the young Su Qingqing, who could easily mock their opponents. But as a student, Su Qingqing didn’t need to worry about status; she could give them relief.

Logically, after the appraisal of collectibles, the expert is supposed to step down from the stage and return to their seat, but Huo Sining remained standing on the stage, which could waste time and affect the subsequent evaluations.

However, the host was in a difficult position and couldn’t openly ask her to leave, so he gently called to Huo Sining, with inquiry in his gaze:

”Miss Huo?”

”Although the Han Wunu Kingdom’s Gold Seal is precious, it’s not originally from Huaxia. But as I just explained to the Dongyang representative, our Huaxia is one of the four ancient civilizations; a great nation with five thousand years of history is not just empty words. The gifts she has given our Huaxia Nation exceed anyone’s imagination.”

Pausing here, Huo Sining smiled and slowly surveyed the audience below: ”In fact, I’m attending this treasure appraisal conference with a few more treasures. Taking this opportunity, I might as well show them to everyone.”

The host was slightly stunned but then overjoyed; the reason Huo Sining hadn’t stepped off the stage was because she had more treasures in her possession.

Indeed, the host now recalled that when Huo Sining opened that safe box, she inadvertently glanced inside, and there seemed to be several more boxes within.

The experts from various countries in the audience were also momentarily stunned, and then a murmuring conversation arose in the hall.

Everyone was speculating on what treasures Huo Sining might have brought. After all, the Han Wunu Gold Seal she presented earlier was already so astonishing. If Huo Sining’s next items were to surpass Dongyang Country’s national treasures, it would be hard to imagine what sacred artifacts they might be.

At this moment, Gu Xu also carried a box onto the stage.

”Miss Huo, how many treasures do you have in your possession? Will you bring surprises to everyone?”

The host stepped forward and inquired with a cheerful smile.

”There are a total of five pieces. I won’t spoil the surprise by revealing what they are now; it’ll make it less interesting. Everyone will naturally find out soon.”

Huo Sining gently smiled, took the Gold Seal from the display table, and placed it back into the sandalwood box. Gu Xu smoothly took it and returned the box to the chest.

The Gold Seal was put away, and many experts showed regretful expressions, especially the Dongyang delegation, whose eyes were reddened with restrained anger and pain.

That Gold Seal was clearly their country’s possession!

The live broadcast continued, but at this moment, major forums, bulletin boards, and Weibo in Huaxia had erupted in discussion. Two portal websites even launched live streaming.

Earlier, Huo Sining took out the Gold Seal, directly pressing down on the Dongyang delegation, making everyone feel it was thoroughly exciting. Now hearing Huo Sining say there are more treasures to unveil, netizens were even more stirred, their blood boiling.

In the eyes of these netizens, Huo Sining seemed to have become the idol of young people, the pride of the nation.

This was also because initially, the media hyped the situation excessively, especially the shameless actions from Dongyang, which made many people in the country aware of the incident where the Jade Clothing was stolen by Dongyang people and even circulated at the international treasure appraisal conference.

Many Dongyang people even clamored to overturn Huaxia’s history, sparking outrage domestically, leading to intense interest in this treasure appraisal conference.

No one wants their country’s treasures to wander outside, and the French sitting to the left of the Huaxia delegation likely understood this best.

Years ago, when France’s national treasure, ”Mona Lisa’s Smile,” appeared in Italy, the emotional state of the French was akin to Huaxia people’s feelings upon discovering the Jade Clothing in Dongyang, anger and resentment surging like incessant waves.

It was due to these emotions that when ”Mona Lisa’s Smile” returned to France, there was a collective celebration across the nation.

This is a deeply rooted national sentiment, lying in the bones of each individual, able to resonate within every heart.

No matter how significant family conflicts and hatreds are, before the national narrative and patriotic sentiment, they become insignificant.

When Sakai Ichiro insulted the Huaxia experts and rushed to the stage first, countless Huaxia people cursed aloud, hating the shameless behavior of the Dongyang people.

And when Huo Sining presented the Han Wunu Kingdom’s Gold Seal and refuted the Dongyang representatives into silence, countless people went wild with enthusiasm.

Huo Sining’s performance at the conference surprised them, with numerous individuals shouting madly, as if only this could alleviate their emotions and express their excitement and delight.

Even though Huo Sining was only about twenty years old, even younger than many of them, what she did made countless nationals feel proud and gratified.

In this Jade Clothing incident, Huo Sining’s action was an absolute counterattack, seemingly just a competitive contest, but in truth, it was a national competition.

Only at this moment, domestic viewers felt for the first time that their long-suppressed anger was finally given a channel for release and expression, and a voice echoed in their hearts:

After more than sixty years, we’ve finally stepped Dongyang people underfoot!

”See, I said Huo Sining definitely had more in her hands. Though that Dongyang Gold Seal is valuable, it’s not our national item, lacks representation, and isn’t suitable as the representative antique work for our country’s appearance this time!”

”I agree; I suspect that among Huo Sining’s treasures, there are sure to be gems no less valuable than the Gold Seal! Otherwise, she wouldn’t save them until now to unveil!”

”Haha, everyone, let’s use our intelligence to guess what treasures are hidden in the mysterious hands of Miss Huo!”

”I think it may be ancient paintings.”

”Didn’t she say there are several things? It can’t just be all paintings, right?”

”Can’t guess, there are too many kinds of antiques in our country!”

In Diecuiyuan Manor, Chief Lu and many elderly men were also bewildered; they only knew about the Han Wunu Gold Seal but were unaware that Huo Sining had brought several other treasures, curious and confused.

”Old Zhou, besides the Gold Seal, what else did Huo girl bring?” Huang Zhenlong, a man who can’t hide his thoughts, asked straightforwardly, driven by curiosity.

Seeing everyone showing puzzled expressions, Zhou Shitao rarely smiled wryly and shook his head:

”Don’t ask me, I’m as clueless as you. I only know what’s inside the Gu Family’s safe box. I’m really unclear on the other treasures. That girl loves to keep secrets and play mysterious, even before heading to New York, she didn’t share this plan with me, this old fool.”

”Alright, alright, the girl said no spoilers; saying it out loud loses the fun.”

Seeing Huang Zhenlong wanting to inquire further, Chief Lu frowned and gave Huang Zhenlong a sideways glare.

Huang Zhenlong immediately showed an awkward expression and closed his mouth, not daring to ask further as several elderly men eagerly watched the TV before them.
