The cold wind was like a knife, freezing the rain like an arrow, and the world was vast.

Under the night sky, Xu Wen was holding an umbrella and walking on the streets of Shu City, feeling sad.

He had just graduated from college and was trying his best to integrate into this city, but...

Clenching the wet resume in his hand, Xu Wen took a deep breath and turned into an antique street. This was his last place of payment.

It was also... his last hope.

In an ancient building, Xiaoxiang Pavilion was brightly lit. Under the red tiles and cornices, there was vermilion wood paint on the wall, and a plaque with gold foil on it, which looked graceful and luxurious.

In Shu City's antique street, this shop was outstanding in both decoration and grade.

Walking into the shop, Xu Wen gently put the umbrella outside. As soon as he looked up, he saw a dazzling white light in front of him.

"Bang..."

Xu Wen couldn't dodge in time. A huge porcelain bottle collided with his head and immediately broke into pieces. "Ding ding ding ding" fell to the ground.

No one noticed that when the porcelain bottle was broken, a golden light was shot into Xu Wen's Seal Hall. It flashed and disappeared without leaving a trace.

Xu Wen felt a sharp pain and everything went black. When he came to his senses, he felt something warm on his forehead, covering his eyelashes and turning his eyes into a scarlet world.

Before Xu Wen could react, a fat middle-aged man dressed like a shopkeeper grabbed Xu Wen in front of his chest and shouted, "Oh, this is an ancient treasure from ancient times. Can you afford it?"

"This man hurt me, and he even put the blame on me?"

Xu Wen crumpled the resume into a ball and wiped away the blood on his face. Then he looked down at the mess and asked, "When did the signature of the porcelain become the word ' simply'?"

Xu Wen slowly picked up the base of the porcelain bottle and shook it to the fat shopkeeper, looking at him with a sneer.

The base was quite thick. It was just broken into two pieces, and the words "a simple body" had been clearly marked on it.

Not to mention that he had majored in archaeology for four years in college, even an ordinary person could find such obvious details.

"You... Even if it's an imitation, I spent hundreds of yuan on it..."

"Boss, I'm dizzy now. Do you think I should fall down?" Xu Wen interrupted him, and his body suddenly teetered.

If this happened, the shopkeeper would definitely have something to do with it.

After all, Xu Wen's brain was really in trouble.

The shopkeeper choked, and his expression quickly changed. He said with a smile, "My brother's injury is not serious, is it? How about I pay fifty yuan to go to the hospital?"

Seeing that Xu Wen was not easy to fool, the shopkeeper immediately changed his strategy.

"Two hundred, no."

"Deal!"

The shopkeeper was very straightforward, but when he took out two notes painfully, a trace of disgust and hatred flashed in his eyes.

There was no need to guess, Xu Wen knew that the interview was over. The shopkeeper changed his attitude quickly and acted cunningly.

With this grudge, it would be strange if he could keep her.

However, if it weren't for the other party wanting to blackmail him, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

Xu Wen sighed in his heart, but he quickly reached out to grab the money from the shopkeeper's hand.

The wound on his head was not serious. It was an unexpected fortune for him to make a little money. After all, he was poor now, and he could not afford the rent.

However, at this moment, when his eyes inadvertently swept over the other items in the store, he was suddenly stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

Wherever he looked, a row of small golden words gradually appeared above the artifact.

"Tang tri-colored, a replica, produced in a public brothel..."

"Colorful Flower Bird General's can, a replica..."

"..."

In Xu Wen's eyes, all the artifacts here were imitations. There was no real one. However, Xu Wen was in a panic.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. He scanned it automatically, which was even more awesome than X-ray vision. Could it be that he had been hit in the head and had an illusion?

"Why aren't you leaving yet..." The shopkeeper frowned when he saw Xu Wen in a daze. However, when he saw a guest, he couldn't help but hurriedly greet him and ignore him.

The one who came in was a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth. She wore a straight coat, but it could not hide her graceful figure at all. Her temperament was extremely ethereal.

Especially her cold but beautiful face, which made people suspect that she was an elf who had fallen into the mortal world...

"Mr. Huang, did you keep the plate bottle I watched last time for me?" The beautiful woman's voice was crisp and clear, with a hint of arrogance in her voice.

The shopkeeper's chubby face was now smiling like a chrysanthemum. "Mr. Zhao, since you've opened your mouth, how could I dare to sell it? It's still on the shelf."

At this moment, Xu Wen came to his senses and looked in the direction of the shopkeeper's hand. He saw a gorgeous vertical porcelain bottle, which was shining under the light. He could not help squinting his eyes.

The shopkeeper carefully took the porcelain bottle and put it on the counter. "Mr. Zhao, this one is rare in the world. My price is extremely fair. You can't lose out if you buy it." Then he bowed with a smile.

He was right. This piece of porcelain was a rare genuine item in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. At the very least, in Xu Wen's eyes, the line of golden words was also extremely detailed.

"Jia Jing, a three-star golden-colored, five-colored, three-star figure, a rare treasure..."

Xu Wen silently read the line of small words and slightly frowned. When he stared at the porcelain bottle for a long time, the outline of the porcelain bottle began to gradually fade.

Gradually, the structure of the porcelain bottle was revealed in his eyes.

There were traces of embedded at the bottom of the porcelain bottle. In Xu Wen's eyes, he could clearly feel the particles in the connected place. The most ridiculous thing was that there was a secret box hidden inside.

Xu Wen was so shocked that he rubbed his eyes. "This, this, this is the f*cking X-ray vision?" He couldn't help but walk over and want to see clearly.

At this moment, the beautiful woman carefully looked at the porcelain bottle for a long time, then signed a check and handed it to the shopkeeper. The whole process was completed in less than two minutes.

But when the beautiful woman was about to leave with something, Xu Wen coughed and whispered, "This porcelain seems a little strange..."

Although the voice was low, it could be heard by both of them.

The shopkeeper was looking at the 300,000 check in his hand with satisfaction. When he heard this, his face immediately changed and he looked up. "Where did this young man come from? Do you know the rules? Hey, you haven't left yet?"

In the entire antique industry, money and goods had always been clear. After the transaction was completed, if there was something wrong with the thing, I'm sorry. You must admit that you were unlucky.

However, at this time, the beauty was still in the store. If there was really something wrong with the porcelain, although it could not be withdrawn according to the rules, it would inevitably affect the reputation of the store. Xiaoxiangxuan was said to be selling genuine goods.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. I didn't say that this thing is fake. I just mean that there are other ways." Xu Wen smiled slightly. He didn't come to make trouble, but he wanted to see if what he saw just now was true or not.

Moreover, he did not take the grudge between the two of them to heart.

The beauty's expression changed slightly. After looking Xu Wen up and down, she asked calmly, "What's wrong? Tell me."

Ignoring the shopkeeper's angry eyes, Xu Wen calmly replied, "If you don't mind, have I ever fought with him?"
