Chapter 71 Playing the Mystery



"Does Grandpa Dai have something real to show me?"

Guan Yuxi leaned affectionately against Leng Lie, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Leng Lie's expression finally softened, and he looked at Elder Dai warily.

He was afraid that if he got agitated again, he would pull on his wife again.

Grandpa Dai chuckled.

He then took out an antique-looking box and carefully opened it.

The interior was also lined with black velvet, and on it lay a rusty bronze wine vessel.

The rust was yellow, green, black, and red, and it almost corroded the entire cup.

And the wine vessel was missing a leg.

Guan Yuxi reached out to pick it up and take a look.

Fang Yuan pushed her hand away. "What do you want to do?"

His eyes seemed to spit fire. "You think you can touch something so valuable?"

He had wanted to get angry long before Guan Yuxi threw the replica wine bottle back.

Even if that thing is a fake.

But how dare she, a village girl who has only read a few books, presume to say that the imitation is bad?

They still dare to litter!

Leng Lie grabbed his hand. "It's none of your business if I want to touch my wife."

Believe it or not, I'll chop off your dog paws!

"you......"

Fang Yuan had never seen such an unreasonable person.

He twisted his hand behind his back, trying to break free from his restraints.

Leng Lie raised his hand and grabbed it again.

Fang Yuan was unconvinced and swept his leg over, but Leng Lie gently spun around with his foot and shoved him backward.

Fang Yuan was unconvinced and wanted to rush forward again.

Guan Yuxi smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, my man is doing this because he won the bet from you."

I've already shown mercy; let's not ruin the harmony.

She took Leng Lie with her.

Grandpa Dai hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"

He glared at Fang Yuan, his expression serious. "Fang, apologize to them right now!"

How have I been teaching you? Why are you still so clumsy?

Fang Yuan rubbed her aching wrist, clearly unwilling.

But under his intense gaze, she had no choice but to lower her head and say, "I'm sorry..."

"unnecessary!"

Guan Yuxi interrupted him, "A perfunctory apology is useless except for making me look good."

You're probably cursing me in your heart, so let's just forget about it.

Fang Yuan: "......"

If it wasn't necessary, why didn't you say so sooner?

Grandpa Dai handed the box over again, chuckling as he said, "You're such a good girl, you're so open-minded."

"Or, how about we show him some real skill and make him admit defeat willingly?"

Guan Yuxi squinted at the sandalwood box.

He then gently fanned the air with his hand until he could smell a faint sandalwood fragrance.

She looked away and said playfully, "Why would I need him to obey me?"

I have my brother Lie, that's enough. The less other men want me, the better.

After taking a few steps, she turned back and scoffed, "Besides, yours is a fake too!"

Where does this real skill come from?

Could something personally brought out by a teacher be counterfeit?

Seeing her confident demeanor, Fang Yuan couldn't help but sneer:

"You ignorant brat!"

"The mountain is so big that there is no firewood; we can only eke out a living."

"Ignorant and foolish woman, spouting nonsense!"

"A man's courage is like that of a frog in a well; he is narrow-minded and petty, and he will hardly achieve anything."

Fang Yuan's face flushed red with anger as she glared at Guan Yuxi.

A cold, fierce gaze blocked his view.

Guan Yuxi gently tugged at him, peeked out from behind him, and waved with a smile, "I'm not coming."

That's all I know. If you say even one more word, you win.

Fang Yuan: "......"

He swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

Grandpa Dai couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

He strode forward, "If you can fix this wine bottle for me, you can have anything you want."

As long as we can produce it.

Guan Yuxi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"I dare not."

Old Master Dai was slightly taken aback. "You dare not?"

Guan Yuxi smiled and pulled Leng Lie back.

Leng Lie looked down at her.

What a strange thing to do today! His money-grubbing wife is actually not making money.

Guan Yuxi winked at him.

Leng Lie immediately realized what was happening.

Is this an attempt to add more chips?

Grandpa Dai stared at the two figures as they walked away, lost in thought for a long time.

Fang Yuan said angrily, "Teacher, don't be fooled by that little brat."

She's all talk and no action.

How could a little village girl do something that even many experienced craftsmen couldn't?

He just thought he knew it after reading some theoretical knowledge in a book; he didn't believe it at all.

Grandpa Dai seemed to be thinking, "I don't think she's just read about it in books."

Seeing that Fang Yuan was about to say something more, he handed the box to him.

"You've read so many documents and handled so many physical objects."

Can you tell this is a fake? Where does it give itself away?

Fang Yuan stared at him defiantly.

I even found a picture book to compare with it.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times he looked at it, he still couldn't figure it out.

Grandpa Dai shook his head with a smile, "Give up?"

Fang Yuan stared at it a few more times, then reluctantly admitted defeat.

"I really can't tell."

However, I don't believe that little girl can do it.

She's probably just making things up, trying to create an air of mystery and scam money from you!

"Then why did she refuse?"

Grandpa Dai couldn't understand it.

He didn't think Guan Yuxi really had that ability either.

It was just a matter of hoping for the best.
