The latter said before that he was going home to look for something, but he never showed up.
And because of the "Thousand Miles of Smoke", Wei Changtian didn't care where he went, and almost forgot about it.
Until today, this son of heaven actually took the initiative to "send to the door"...
"Mr. Wei, I wonder if I can have a chat with you alone?"
After cupping his hands, Chu An whispered: "It won't take up too much of your time."
"Ms. sir, let's talk. I'm going out first."
After looking at Wei Changtian, Yang Liu said softly, then stood up and walked out of the room.
After she left, Wei Changtian waved his hand to Chu An to sit down and asked casually:
"Mr. Chu, is something wrong?"
"this......"
Chu An carefully sat on the chair and asked tentatively: "Sir, I heard about the prince. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"help?"
Wei Changtian glanced at Chu An and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu is interested, but I don't think it's necessary."
"......yes."
Lowering his head, Chu An seemed to want to find something else to talk about, but he didn't know what else to talk to Wei Changtian, so he simply got to the point and took out a small wooden box from his sleeve.
It's about the size of a palm, the material is very ordinary, and it looks like it has some age.
"Master Wei."
Under Wei Changtian's slightly puzzled eyes, he saw Chu An put the wooden box on the table very solemnly, then stood up and took a step back, bowing deeply to the former.
"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life. This thing is a secret treasure passed down from generation to generation in this villain's family. I beg you, Master, to accept it."
Secret treasure?
The confusion in his eyes turned into surprise. Wei Changtian didn't expect that Chu An would prepare a "thank you gift" for himself when he went home these days.
The ancestral treasure of the Son of Heaven...should be a good thing!
Without saying anything, he reached out and opened the lid of the box.
Wei Changtian glanced inside the box, but the change in his expression was not obvious.
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 definitely be called a "treasure", and 500 system points are enough to prove its value.
But for Wei Changtian, it was a bit tasteless.
After all, it is now almost impossible for him to need to use the Qing Jue Jade Pendant to escape.
The piece found from Ning Yongnian had never been used, and later he simply gave it to Yang Liushi...
"Mr. Chu, is this thing passed down 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?"
"Young master, it's something passed down from my ancestors."
Chu An couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw Wei Changtian's lack of interest, but he quickly answered truthfully: "According to the elders in the family, this thing can save the life of the person you wear it at a critical moment."
"Huh? Are there any living elders in your family?"
"there is none left."
Chu An lowered his head: "What the villain means is that the elders in the family once said this to the villain when they were still alive."
"Oh I see."
Nodding, Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and then pushed the wooden box forward:
"Mr. Chu, this thing is indeed a life-saving treasure, but it is of little use to me, so you should take it back."
"this......"
Seeing that Wei Changtian refused, Chu An's face suddenly showed a look of eagerness, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
But before he could speak, Wei Changtian waved his hand and interrupted:
"Mr. Chu, I understand your wishes."
"I still have things to do, so you can go out first."
"..."
"yes."
Lowering his eyes, Chu An didn't say anything more after all. He silently put away the wooden box and walked back to the door with his head lowered.
But just before he was about to push the door open, he suddenly turned around and said without warning:
"Sir, I saw a mysterious man the night I encountered the bandits, and his figure was somewhat similar to yours."
"......Is it?"
Looking up at Chu An calmly, Wei Changtian's tone was calm: "Is that man also a bandit?"
"The villain doesn't know."
Chu An shook his head: "The mysterious man is extremely powerful, and he knocked him out with just one face-to-face encounter."
"The villain felt that there might be something fishy about this matter. He just suddenly remembered it and wanted to remind the young master..."
"..."
He spoke neither quickly nor slowly, and Chu An's voice and expression were very normal.
But at the same time, a ferocious ghost-faced red snake slowly emerged from behind him, and then slowly approached Wei Changtian.
The study room was not big to begin with, and now the snake body alone occupied half of the space, and the terrifying ghost face soon came to Wei Changtian's eyes.
However, the latter's eyes did not change at all, he just stared calmly ahead, seemingly unable to see the ghostly face that was only a few inches away from his face.
"Thank you for reminding me, I will ask someone to check this matter."
Smiling, he picked up the tea cup and passed his sleeves between the empty ghost faces.
Wei Changtian took a sip of tea with a calm expression, looked at the thoughtful Chu An and asked:
"What? Mr. Chu, do you have anything else to do?"
"Ah, no more..."
As if everything just now was an illusion, the ghost-faced red snake disappeared in an instant. Chu An, who came back to his senses, immediately cupped his hands and said, "The villain is going out first."
"Um."
"Squeak..."
Pushing open the door, walked out of the study, turned around and closed the door again.
Chu An just left like this, his expression seemed a little relieved.
But 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 it may be because he has not experienced too many intrigues and intrigues, so whether it was a verbal trap or a temptation using the candle dragon, he was very immature.
At this level, if Li Zimu and Chu Xianping were replaced, they would probably be able to make Chu An unable to find him.
Of course this is normal.
After all, Li Zimu, Chu Xianping, and himself have been in a situation that ordinary people have never experienced and cannot imagine.
From the day I traveled through time to now.
He seems to have unlimited glory, but countless dangers are always hidden in the dark and never disappear for a moment.
Looking at the whole of Daning, and even the six or seven countries around Daning except Shu, there should be countless people who want to die.
And in this situation where a little carelessness could lead to catastrophe, I had to be cautious at all times, and thus I developed a city that could not lose to anyone.
On the other hand, Chu An obviously lived too "comfortably", so in Wei Changtian's eyes, his "exquisite" temptations were like playing house, full of loopholes, and extremely easy to deal with.
But being so "naive" proves one thing.
That means Chu An is really just an "ordinary" person.
