Unlike his furious demeanor when facing Si Jingyi, Old Master Si's gaze toward Wen Yan was extremely kind and gentle. "Little Yan, it's okay if you can't repair it. Don't exhaust yourself. At most, I'll just beat that bastard brat to death!"
Wen Yan smiled and nodded. "Okay, Grandpa."
Old Master Si directly dragged Si Jingyi out of the study.
Wen Yan closed the study door and walked over to the antique vase that was shattered into several pieces.
She took out a restoration talisman and chanted a spell.
The restoration talisman turned into a flash of white light. Soon, a miraculous scene occurred.
The shattered porcelain pieces quickly stuck back together, and in a short period of time, they fit perfectly, leaving no trace of being broken.
Wen Yan picked up the vase and examined it closely.
It was truly restored to its original state before it was broken.
The restoration talisman was too awesome!
An hour later, Wen Yan came out of the study.
She handed the vase to Old Master Si. "Grandpa, take a look."
Old Master Si's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. "Good heavens, you are too amazing!"
Si Jingyi, who had been ordered by Old Master Si to kneel to the side, quickly ran over to take a look.
"Damn, Sister-in-law, you are totally badass."
Wen Yan rubbed her nose, feeling a bit guilty.
She wasn't badass at all. She had merely plundered Miao Daoxing's special skills and picked up a bargain!
Si Moyan had personally cooked a meal for Wen Yan. He walked over and held her hand. "Go eat something first."
Wen Yan nodded. "Alright."
While Wen Yan was eating, Si Moyan asked Si Jingyi, "Where did you sell the 'Four Seasons Painting'?"
Si Jingyi named an antique shop.
Si Moyan pursed his thin lips tightly, his voice deep and cold. "Later, I'll go to the antique shop with you to see if the 'Four Seasons Painting' is still there. If it is, we'll buy it back."
Wen Yan took a sip of soup and looked at Si Moyan with bright, beautiful eyes. "Hubby, I'll go with you guys later."
[Hehe, it just so happens that I saw in the Melon-Eating System that Miao Daoxing is going to the antique shop.]
[The Wen family went bankrupt. Wen Yue asked Gu Beichen for help, but Gu Beichen didn't agree, so she had to look for Miao Daoxing.]
[Miao Daoxing has a secret crush on Wen Yue, so naturally he responds to all her requests. He thinks he can still make money by fortune-telling and restoring antiques!]
As a person, she had always sought revenge for any grievances.
Miao Daoxing almost took her life. There was no way she would let this matter go easily!
At the antique shop.
An extended Rolls-Royce drove over.
The car doors opened, and an old man leaning on a cane stepped out, accompanied by several incredibly handsome young men and two young women.
The six Si siblings and Wen Yan had all come.
Seeing the grand lineup of the Si family, the antique shop owner personally came over with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, our antique shop is closed today. If you need anything, please come back tomorrow."
As soon as the owner finished speaking, he saw another car driving over and immediately went to greet it enthusiastically.
Miao Daoxing and Wen Yue stepped out of the car.
The antique shop owner shook hands with Miao Daoxing warmly. "Master, you're finally here. Two treasures from Jingdu urgently need restoration. If you can complete the restoration work like before, I can give you this amount."
The owner held up a hand with five fingers. "I can also help introduce you to some connections in Jingdu."
Miao Daoxing was brimming with confidence. "No problem."
With that, he led Wen Yue forward. However, after taking only a few steps, he saw Wen Yan and the Si family.
Miao Daoxing's face immediately darkened. "I need peace and quiet when I'm restoring. I must trouble the boss to ask irrelevant people to leave!"
The antique shop owner knew the Si family's status and wealth in Ye City, but he was from Jingdu and had his own background, so he wasn't afraid of the Si family.
"Everyone, I'm truly sorry today, but our shop is not receiving guests..."
Before the boss could finish, he was interrupted by Wen Yan's smiling voice. "Boss, you currently have two treasures that urgently need restoration. One is a bronze ram-shaped vessel from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, worth 300 million, and the other is a Qianlong famille rose openwork revolving vase, worth 500 million."
The boss was astonished. "How... how did you know?"
Wen Yan curled her lips slightly. "Such important antique artworks wouldn't have been sent to you if they couldn't be restored by top experts. Although Miao Daoxing could repair many antiques for you before, he definitely won't be able to do it this time!"
Hearing Wen Yan's words, Miao Daoxing frowned and glared at her sharply. "If I can't do it, don't tell me you can?"
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow. "Last time you challenged me to a duel. This time I'm challenging you. Do you dare to accept?"
Looking at the confident and arrogant Wen Yan, Miao Daoxing grew furious.
"Such precious antique artworks, if you ruin them, can you afford to pay for them?"
Si Moyan stepped forward, his expression cold. "I'll pay for her."
The head of Ye City's wealthiest family had spoken. A mere few hundred million was nothing he couldn't afford.
The boss replied, "If they are ruined, you have to pay double!"
Si Moyan coldly parted his thin lips. "It doesn't matter how much money I have to pay, as long as my wife is happy."
Standing behind Miao Daoxing, Wen Yue's face was almost twisted with jealousy.
The Wen family went bankrupt. She had asked Gu Beichen for a hundred million to solve her urgent need, but he claimed to be on a business trip abroad and wouldn't even answer her calls.
But now, Wen Yan was being spoiled to the heavens by Si Moyan.
Obviously, she was supposed to be the female lead!
"Brother Daoxing, you failed last time. You must win it back this time," Wen Yue whispered.
Miao Daoxing looked at Wen Yue, who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and his heart ached for her.
"Don't worry, Yueyue. Restoring antiques is my best skill."
The antique shop owner arranged for Wen Yan and Miao Daoxing to enter the storage room where the antique treasures were kept.
Both the bronze ram-shaped vessel and the revolving vase had some damage.
Miao Daoxing circled the two treasures once and curled his lips with full confidence. "Wen Yan, I'll let you see true strength. This time, you will definitely lose! When you lose, you have to kneel down, kowtow to me, and bark like a dog!"
He clearly wanted to humiliate Wen Yan.
He thought Wen Yan would fly into a rage out of humiliation, but unexpectedly, she just shrugged with a bright smile. "Sure."
Miao Daoxing really couldn't stand Wen Yan's arrogant and unbridled appearance. He wanted to slap her face hard.
Miao Daoxing took out a restoration talisman, muttered a spell in a low voice, and then tossed the talisman toward the bronze ram-shaped vessel that needed fixing.
Just when Miao Daoxing thought the damaged parts would automatically reassemble, he realized that the bronze vessel had no reaction whatsoever.
Miao Daoxing widened his eyes in utter disbelief.
How could this be?
Why had his restoration talisman failed?
Right at that moment, Wen Yan's gloating voice drifted over. "Oh my, Master Miao, I thought you were really amazing. Taking off your pants to fart—doing something completely unnecessary—that describes you perfectly, doesn't it!"
Miao Daoxing's face turned livid to the extreme.
He took out another restoration talisman and chanted the spell again.
However—
The result was exactly the same.
Miao Daoxing staggered backward a few steps unsteadily.
His head was buzzing, completely unable to understand how his restoration talisman had malfunctioned.
Wen Yan looked at Miao Daoxing's devastated and tottering appearance, and the smile on her face deepened. "It seems Master Miao has reached his limit. Why don't you take a look at my Restoration Talisman?"
With that said, Wen Yan took out a Restoration Talisman and chanted the exact same incantation as Miao Daoxing.
Miao Daoxing was dismissive at first, but soon, his eyes widened in absolute shock.
To his disbelief, Wen Yan's Restoration Talisman had actually reassembled and completely restored the shattered bronze ram vessel!
"How is this possible? That is my skill! How did you get it?"
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow. "Not just the Restoration Talisman, but your other skills have all come to me too!"
Taking advantage of Miao Daoxing's distraction, Wen Yan suddenly snatched the bell hanging from his waist.
"Three days ago, you almost reduced me to ashes. Did you really think this matter was just going to end like that?"
After saying this, she made a move that caused Miao Daoxing's pupils to quake in horror—
