Chapter 822: Immature Probe
"Mr. Chu."
Soon, Wei Changtian met Chu An.
The latter said before that he was going home to look for something and never showed up.
And because of the "Thousand Miles of Smoke and Waves", Wei Changtian didn't care where he went, and even almost forgot about it.
Until today, this son of heaven actually took the initiative to "come to my door". "Master Wei, I wonder if I can talk to you alone?"
Chu An bowed and whispered, "It won't take up too much of your time."
"My husband, you two can talk now. I will leave first."
Looking at Wei Changtian, Yang Liu said something softly, then stood up and walked out of the room.
After she left, Wei Changtian waved his hand to signal Chu An to sit down, and asked casually: "Mr. Chu, is there anything wrong?"
"this."
Chu An carefully sat on the chair and asked tentatively: "Sir, I heard about the prince's situation. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"help?"
Wei Changtian glanced at Chu An and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu is thoughtful, but I think it is not necessary."
".yes."
Chu An lowered his head, as if he wanted to find some other topic to talk about, but he didn't know what else to talk about with Wei Changtian, so he simply got straight to the point and took out a small wooden box from his sleeve.
It is about the size of a palm, made of very ordinary material, and looks to be quite old.
"Master Wei."
Under Wei Changtian's slightly puzzled gaze, Chu An placed the wooden box on the table very solemnly, then stood up, took a step back, and bowed deeply to him.
"I cannot repay you for saving my life. This is a secret treasure passed down from my ancestors. Please accept it."
Secret treasure?
The confusion in his eyes turned into surprise. Wei Changtian didn't expect that Chu An went home these days to prepare a "thank you gift" for him.
The heirloom of the Son of Heaven should be a good thing! Without saying anything, he stretched out his hand and opened the lid of the box.
Wei Changtian took a look inside the box, and his expression did not change noticeably.
Because the thing in the box is just a pure jade pendant.
Of course, as the most useful life-saving item, the Qingjue Jade Pendant can be called a "treasure", and 500 system points are enough to prove its value.
But it is a bit useless to Wei Changtian.
After all, it is almost impossible for him to need the Qingjue Jade Pendant to escape now.
The piece found on Ning Yongnian had never been used, and later he simply gave it to Yang Liushi. "Mr. Chu, is this an heirloom from your ancestors?"
Without touching the jade pendant, Wei Changtian slowly closed the lid of the box, raised his head and asked, "Do you know what this jade pendant is used for?"
"My Lord, this is an heirloom from my ancestors."
Chu An couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he saw Wei Changtian wasn't very interested, but he quickly answered truthfully: "According to the elders in my family, this item can save the life of the person wearing it at a critical moment."
"Hmm? Are there any elders still alive in your family?"
"there is none left."
Chu An lowered his head: "What I meant is that my elders once said this to me when they were alive."
"Oh, I see."
Nodding, Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and pushed the wooden box forward:
"Mr. Chu, this item is indeed a life-saving treasure, but it is of no use to me, so you should take it back."
"this"
Seeing that Wei Changtian didn't want it, Chu An's face immediately revealed a trace of anxiety, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
But before he could open his mouth, Wei Changtian waved his hand and interrupted:
"Mr. Chu, I appreciate your kindness."
"I have something else to do, please go out first."
“.”
"yes."
Chu An lowered his eyes and finally didn't say anything more. He silently put away the wooden box and lowered his head to retreat to the door.
But just before he pushed the door open and walked out, he suddenly turned around and said without warning: "Sir, I saw a mysterious man the night I encountered the bandits. His figure was quite similar to yours."
".Really?"
Looking up at Chu An calmly, Wei Changtian said calmly: "Is that man also a bandit?"
"I don't know."
Chu An shook his head: "The mysterious man is very powerful. He knocked me out with just one encounter."
"I feel that there may be something fishy about this matter. I just suddenly remembered it and wanted to remind you a little bit."
“.”
Chu An spoke neither fast nor slow, and his voice and expression were very normal.
But at the same time, a ferocious red snake with a ghost face slowly emerged from behind him, and then slowly approached Wei Changtian.
The study was not big to begin with, and the snake's body alone took up half of the space. The terrifying ghost face soon appeared in front of Wei Changtian.
However, the latter's eyes did not change at all, he just continued to stare calmly ahead, as if he could not see the ghost face which was only a few inches away from his face.
"Thank you for the reminder. I will have someone check this matter out."
He smiled, picked up the teacup, and passed his sleeves through the empty ghost faces.
Wei Changtian drank a sip of tea calmly, looked at Chu An who seemed to be thinking about something, and asked:
"What's the matter? Master Chu, do you have anything else to do?"
“Ah, no more.”
It was as if everything just now was an illusion. The ghost-faced red snake disappeared in an instant. Chu An, who had come to his senses, immediately bowed and said, "I'll leave first."
"Um."
"Squeak"
He opened the door, walked out of the study, turned around and closed the door again.
Chu An just left like that, his expression seemed somewhat relieved.
Wei Changtian in the room was looking at the closed door, motionless, as if he was thinking about something.
It was obvious that Chu An was already doubting himself.
But perhaps because he had not experienced too much intrigue and deception, his verbal trap and the temptation of using Zhulong were very immature.
With this level of skills, if Li Zimu and Chu Xianping were to take over, they would probably make Chu An lose his mind.
Of course this is normal.
After all, Li Zimu, Chu Xianping, and myself were in a situation that most people had never experienced or could not imagine.
From the day I traveled through time to now.
Although he seems to be in a prosperous situation, countless dangers are always hidden in the dark and never disappear for a moment.
Looking at the entire Daning, or even the six or seven countries around Daning except Dashu, there should be countless people who want him dead.
In this kind of situation where one could be disastrous if one is not careful, one must always be cautious, and thus develop a shrewdness that is not inferior to anyone else.
On the other hand, Chu An obviously lived too "comfortably", so his self-proclaimed "subtle" tests were just like playing house in Wei Changtian's eyes, full of loopholes and extremely easy to deal with.
But such "naivety" does prove one thing.
That is, Chu An is really just a very "ordinary" person.
Ordinary background, ordinary job, ordinary pursuit, ordinary life But unfortunately, he has an extraordinary identity.
