Dragon Blood Divine Son-in-law-Chapter 75 - Discerning the Finest Detail

“This…” Wang Yukun turned red-faced, speechless.

“But the material, age, and craftsmanship of this porcelain vase don’t seem fake; how could it possibly…”

Zhao Boqian was still very confident in his appraisal skills and found such a result hard to accept.

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, “As far as I know, there is a very advanced imitation technique on the market now.

They first melt down the broken porcelain pieces again and then restore them according to the original design.

After that, they brush on an antique look on the outside, making the entire piece seamless!”

“I believe this fake eyelash must have been left behind when it was refired!”

Zhao Boqian had a sudden realization.

As an old-timer in the Antique World, how could he not have heard of such high-imitation methods?

Logically, he should have considered this possibility from the beginning, but because he had been too fond of the vase at the time, he had directly overlooked this possibility.

Now, Zhao Boqian realized the magnitude of the mistake he had made!

“I see!

I had no idea your expertise in antique identification ran so deep.

You have taught me a lesson!” Zhao Boqian’s attitude completely changed, conceding respectfully.

“Uncle Zhao, you are too kind.

I just got a bit lucky, that’s all.

When it comes to antique appraisal, I am no match for you!”

But Zhao Boqian felt a pang of emotion.

From the beginning to the end, Chen Xuan had not once touched the porcelain vase, yet he was able to spot the existence of a tiny eyelash inside of it at a glance.

How could someone with such keen observation be an ordinary person?

In fact, when Chen Xuan looked at the porcelain vase just before, he was able to tell at a glance that the Blue White Porcelain Vase had been refurbished.

As for the fake eyelash within the porcelain, he saw it by looking through the material of the vase itself.

However, to Zhao Boqian and the others, explaining that he could see its essence didn’t make sense, so he used the fake eyelash as evidence instead.

In other words, with Chen Xuan’s eyesight, he could tell the authenticity of an antique without needing any relevant knowledge at all!

Zhao Luna was overjoyed at this moment, “Hahaha, Wang Yukun, you really are something, presenting a fake antique to deceive my dad!”

Wang Yukun hurriedly waved his hands, “I’m wronged, I spent twenty million on this vase, I didn’t know it was fake!”

Zhao Boqian also chimed in to help, “The craftsmanship of this Yuan Dynasty Blue White is exquisite; even I was deceived, so it is normal for Yukun to be duped.”

“Hmph, as I see it, he deliberately lied to you!” In Zhao Luna’s eyes, Wang Yukun was never a good person.

Then, Zhao Luna seemed to recall something and said excitedly, “You lost, now it’s time to fulfill your promise.

Start barking like a dog!”

Chen Xuan looked at Wang Yukun with a meaningful expression as well.

“I…”

Wang Yukun was overcome with shame and embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, Zhao Boqian spoke up in time, “Alright, we were just joking earlier.

Yukun is after all the young master of Emperor Corporation; it would be unbecoming of him to bark like a dog!”

Wang Yukun breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard Zhao Boqian continue, “However, cheating even Emperor Corporation, you can’t let this swindler off so easily, Yukun!”

“Uncle Zhao, rest easy, I’m going to settle the score with that guy right now!”

Wang Yukun took advantage of the slope to slide away, seizing the chance to leave.

Yet, as he walked out of the villa, his face had already turned dark.

In fact, Wang Yukun had known from the beginning that the Yuan Dynasty Blue White Porcelain Vase was a counterfeit.

However, the person who sold him the vase said it was made using the most advanced imitation techniques, and that even modern instruments would have a hard time distinguishing it from the real deal.

Wang Yukun believed it, and spent three million to purchase this high-quality replica, thinking he could win Zhao Boqian’s favor at a low price.

But he hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to come out of nowhere.

“Dammit, that bastard Chen made me lose so much face; I’ll never let you off the hook!”

“And Zhao Luna, fucking bitch, just wait until I get my hands on you, and see if I don’t play you to death!”

Malice twisted Wang Yukun’s face.

After Wang Yukun had gone, Chen Xuan had intended to leave directly, but was kept back by Zhao Boqian to have a meal.

Following the incident, Zhao Boqian regarded Chen Xuan with new respect, and didn’t stop discussing matters related to antiques with him at the dinner table.

Caught up in the excitement, Zhao Boqian even brought out a jade Guanyin amulet that he wore close to his body.

“Little Chen, you know quite a bit about antiques.

I wonder if you’ve studied jade?

Look at this jade Guanyin of mine, what do you think?”

Zhao Boqian was beaming with pride, obviously very fond of the jade Guanyin.

Zhao Luna saw Zhao Boqian take out the jade Guanyin and immediately became displeased.

“That thing given by the vixen!

What is there to look at!”

Zhao Boqian’s face darkened with anger, and he scolded, “Don’t talk about your Aunt Lek that way!”

Zhao Luna pouted, keeping silent, but her face was clearly disgruntled.

Chen Xuan didn’t know who the vixen Zhao Luna was talking about, nor did he think it appropriate to comment further.

However, the next moment, when his gaze fell upon the jade Guanyin before him, his expression suddenly changed.

He saw that the entire jade Guanyin was shrouded in a halo of eerie green mist.

That was Corpse Essence!

The Corpse Essence continuously emanated from the jade Guanyin, flowing into Zhao Boqian’s body.

Now Chen Xuan finally understood why he felt something off about Zhao Boqian upon first glance; evidently, it was a result of prolonged exposure to the Corpse Essence!

“Uncle Zhao, where did you get this jade Guanyin from?”

Zhao Boqian was taken aback, “Someone gave it to me, why, is there a problem?”

Chen Xuan’s face was serious, “This jade Guanyin is Old Grave Jade, tainted with Corpse Essence.

Wearing it for a long time can cause great harm to your body.

Uncle Zhao, I advise you to discard it as soon as possible, or else the consequences will be endless!”

Zhao Boqian frowned upon hearing this.

Zhao Luna was also suddenly alarmed, “I’ve always said that vixen was no good!

She actually gave you a burial jade Guanyin to wear at all times; what is she really up to!”

“Dad, listen to Chen Xuan, throw away this jade Guanyin right now!”

Zhao Luna went to grab the jade amulet as she spoke.

But, before Zhao Luna could touch it,

Smack!

Zhao Boqian actually slapped her across the face.

“Rubbish!

It’s a gift from your Aunt Lek; I’ll see who dares to touch it!”
