Chapter 153 Test

His expression was so natural, as if it was really the first time he had seen this kind of jade carving.

Ever since the Sixth Princess mentioned the fat man, her eyes have never left Nan Chi's face. After seeing the boy's calm expression, a deep disappointment rose in her heart.

Did I really guess wrong this time?

Is this boy really not related to the black shop?

But is it really like that?

She always felt that there was something off-putting under the boy's calm smile!

She instinctively refused to believe what the boy said.

Although Huo Sijun didn't stare at Nan Chi, he was always paying attention to her expression out of the corner of his eye.

After seeing Nan Chi's flawless performance, a hint of nonchalant sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The person he mocked was not Nan Chi, but Wu Yuelian.

If there really was something wrong with Nan Chi, and she had been living by his side for so many days, yet he hadn't noticed it at all, wasn't this clearly telling him that she was not as good as Wu Yuelian?

Also, isn't it too arbitrary to suspect that there is something wrong with Nan Chi just because he had contact with that fat guy?

"I'm sorry, Sixth Princess." Nan Chi calmly scanned the expressions of everyone present, then smiled faintly.

Wu Yuelian still didn't give up. You know, the power of this stone is far greater than the current technology. If they can get help from such a capable person, their chances of success will be greater when they go to that place.

At least, it will avoid total annihilation!

"To be honest, Princess, I don't know why you are looking for me, but you should also know that although I don't have much background, just because I am Huo Sijun's junior brother, even if I have the ability, it is impossible for me to..." help you!

Although Nan Chi did not express himself clearly, everyone present understood what he did not say.

Upon hearing this, Huo Sijun's eyes flashed with an invisible smile. This little junior brother...it was worth his protection.

Lan Mo couldn't help but look up to this young man.

Doesn’t this kid know the power held by the Sixth Princess of the Empire?

You should know that if you can get her favor, you can have a smooth and prosperous life.

Even with his current position as a disciple of ancient studies, it cannot compare to holding the Sixth Princess's thigh.

After all, Wu Yuelian has Taichu Island as her backing! Even if Nan Chi rebels against the ancient school, she won't have to worry about having nowhere to go!

But this young boy is so calm and composed at such a young age, which is really admirable!

The smile on Wu Yuelian's face was about to burst, and she looked at Nan Chi deeply.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you today, but if you have any information about the master sculptor, please let me know. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the reward."

Since the test failed, is there any point in staying here any longer? Besides, Huo Jiu looks like he's about to have a fit!

Wu Yuelian knew that she had just stolen someone's girlfriend in front of him, which was tantamount to breaking the superficial peace with Huo Sijun!

Wu Yuelian stood up. Although her posture still maintained the elegance of a princess from a great country, her cold eyes clearly showed her displeasure at the moment.

"I think you are going backwards as you grow older. You are causing trouble in front of me openly." Huo Sijun sneered.

The mocking look clearly said: If you can't afford it, don't play!

Wu Yuelian was stunned and slowly suppressed the emotions on her face.

Yes, although she strongly suspected that the master sculptor was Nan Chi, she had no evidence, and she did not want Huo Sijun to know the true strength of the young man in front of her.

Although she didn't know why the boy hid his abilities.

Watching Wu Yuelian's receding back, Nan Chi's eyes were still so confused, as if he really didn't know why the princess came and went in such a hurry just to let him take a look at the stone!

"Bang!"

After dealing with the Sixth Princess, Nan Chi had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of jade hitting the table.

Nan Chi looked back and saw Huo Sijun retracting his hand.

There was a piece of emerald green jade carving on the table, which was also an animal carving made by her.

Damn it! Nan Chi couldn't help but think in despair, why not expose this vest?

No way! If the jade carving master's vest is exposed, how can he explain his carving method?

The key point is, Huo Sijun, can you trust him?

"How come senior brother also has this thing?" Nan Chi picked up the jade carving on the table and looked at it without any precautions.

"This is not an ordinary stone." Huo Sijun stared at the young man in front of him with deep eyes.

Although he was very protective of Wu Yuelian and did not doubt Nan Chi at all.

But it was only in front of outsiders. I couldn't let that woman laugh at me.

Now that he's gone, does this guy want to explain something?

Because based on his understanding of Wu Yuelian, that woman would never look for someone for no reason.

And he's so careless!

The only thing that can be proved is that Nan Chi really has a problem.

Nan Chi was already panicking at this time.

She knew that the suspicious man in front of her had begun to doubt her identity. Even if he was not doubting her own identity, he was doubting the origin of the stone!

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will continue to take root and sprout!

Despite this, she still wants to continue acting!

While pretending to be calm while looking at the jade carving, his mind was racing. How could he dispel this guy's suspicion?

This Wu Yuelian is really full and has nothing to do!

She had just started school not long ago and was faced with the danger of her identity being exposed at any time because she had been looking for a carving master for no reason!

She put the stone on the table with a look of disappointment on her face.

"There's nothing special about it. Is it because the stone carving is so beautiful? Are you kidding me? With the current level of technology, can't we carve something beautiful?"

Huo Sijun just watched the performance of the boy in front of him quietly, everything was so perfect!

Su Li and Lan Mo didn't say anything either.

They knew Huo Sijun, so did they already suspect Shang Nanchi?

"Ever played the game? This rock is only good for passive-aggression."

Nan Chi frowned. "You mean to say that this stone can only automatically defend itself when it's attacked?"

"Yes! Moreover, it has a special effect on alien species." Huo Sijun told everything he knew, and there was even a nonchalant smile on the corner of his mouth.

But Nan Chi inexplicably felt dangerous!

But it's too late!

The man opposite attacked unexpectedly.

Nan Chi's pupils contracted, and his body subconsciously tried to fight back, but his brain reacted faster, making a judgment in 0.1 seconds and stopping himself.

The man's fist was sharp and domineering, and it reached Nan Chi's face in an instant. At this moment, a transparent white light suddenly emanated from the boy's body.

"bump!"

Huo Sijun's fist stopped ten centimeters away from Nanchi and hit the layer of white light.

"Master... Senior Brother?" The young man's face looked very ugly. When he looked at Huo Sijun, his eyes flashed with disbelief, fear... shock and other expressions.

Lan Mo and Su Li, who watched the interaction between the two brothers from beginning to end, looked at each other.

Lan Mo then looked at Nan Chi, lowered his eyelids, and covered the deep thought in his eyes.

Su Li didn't know whether he was disappointed or relieved.

That is to say, I hope that Nan Chi is the carving master that Wu Yuelian mentioned, but I also don't hope that he is...

After all, the boss hates being deceived the most!

If there really is something wrong with Nan Chi, the consequences will be something he cannot bear!
