Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the hostess had already placed the second item, covered with a red cloth, onto the display stand.
The buzzing whispers of the audience immediately vanished, as everyone quietly awaited the introduction by the auctioneer, Xie Qingyin.
"Alright, the Tang Sancai Horse Statue has found its new owner in bidder number two, now we shall enter the authentic and counterfeit competition segment of today's auction,"
"The second item of this auction, ladies and gentlemen, is a pair of ancient High Ancient Jade treasures from over three thousand six hundred years ago, from the Shang Dynasty!"
"Please look, two jade owls, one green and one white!"
Xie Qingyin smiled slightly, her voice sweet and melodious.
She carefully lifted the red cloth covering the exhibit, and the spotlight immediately focused on the display stand.
