Chu Ci looked back at Bai Quanxiao with a smile, and was not in a hurry to deny the other party's words or guesses, but put the rose brooch in his hand back into the box in front of him and pushed it in front of Bai Quanxiao.

It's still just an ordinary box, with no patterns or decorations on it, not even lacquered, as if it was a box cut out of wood casually. Even in addition to the thin lining of the box, the inside of the box is empty and pitiful.

It simply couldn't be more shabby.

Bai Kunyang twitched the corners of his mouth, not wanting to admit that the guy in front of him who was so stingy to the extreme would actually be the captain of the legendary Mo family's interstellar merchant ship.

It's just ...... It's so disillusioned!

However, Bai Quanxiao didn't seem to care at all about the other party's treatment of these antiques so lightly, but took it cautiously, and even treated the simple box carefully, as if he was holding some treasure, which made Bai Kunyang wonder.

He knew all too well how much his grandfather cared about and valued these antiques from his home planet. To put it mildly, it is definitely more important than his grandfather's favorite grandson.

If another person dared to treat these antiques like this, I am afraid that he would have been scolded to death by his grandfather. Even if the other party is the star commander of Lanno.

But...... Bai Kunyang was suspicious in his heart, but looking at his grandfather's cautious look at the wooden box in his hand, he still silently swallowed back the doubt in his heart.

"It's ...... Cedar? Bai Quanxiao took the wooden box in his hand and observed it for a long time, and the anticipation and disbelief in his eyes could hardly be concealed. How can it be?! ”

You know, wood is nothing else, unless it becomes a fossil or undergoes special treatment, ordinary wood simply cannot withstand the consumption of nearly 3,000 years. Even if it could, the wood that had been eroded by time would not have been preserved in such a good condition and the color of the wood would have been unaffected in any way, as if it had just been cut.

This is not a particularly rare wood, but only a cypress that is still acceptable among the woods. Moreover, it may be a cypress tree that is only a few decades old. Compared with those legendary nanmu, ironwood, and yellow rosewood, it is really inconspicuous.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a great interest in the primitive plants of his home planet, and had done a lot of research, he would hardly have believed his eyes.

Chu Ci slowly tasted the tea in front of him, quite leisurely. "Mr. Bai's attainments in antiques are really not comparable to ordinary people."

This sentence admits the other party's speculation from the side.

"No way, how did you save this thing? Or is it clear that you rebuilt it from excavated cypress wood? No, no, the grain of this wood is not right......"

Chu Ci tugged at the corners of his lips, and was noncommittal about Bai Quanxiao's words, which had fallen into his own world, but looked up at Bai Kunyang with a smile. "You don't believe it's real?"

Bai Kunyang: ......

He is just a pure businessman, at best, he knows a little about the antique industry, but he really doesn't know anything about wood, and he doesn't want to hurt the pond fish.

Chu Ci didn't seem to care about Bai Kunyang's answer, but raised the teacup in his hand and gestured to Bai Kunyang. "Taste, although this tea is not as long as the tea of the ancients, it also has a different taste."

Bai Kunyang's fingers moved slightly, and then smiled brightly at Chu Ci, and he really put aside the previous topic between the two and picked up the tea cup in front of him.

It's his magic barrier.

Appreciating and deciding whether to buy such a thing is his grandfather's business, and he has never been good at this aspect, and it is naturally not this aspect to deal with.

"How long does Mr. Mo Chu plan to stay in Lannoxing this time?"

This time, even if it is a similar question, in fact, it already has a completely different meaning.

Chu Ci lowered his eyes slightly, and when he lowered his head to drink tea, his long eyelashes reflected a shallow shadow. "When the goal is achieved, it is natural to turn back, after all, people like me are not used to it, and they can't stand such a comfortable life."

In the Federation, although people also enjoy life, intrigues, and family strife, no matter what kind of person they are, they all have a belief in their bones, that is, to become strong and have strong force. Even if there is no force, we must try our best to make ourselves valuable and give full play to our value.

Although the Federation may not be very good, at least in the eyes of everyone in the Federation, they are full of vigorous fighting spirit and indomitable spirit.

Do not succumb to fate, do not succumb to alien beasts and plants, do not succumb to your own potential, or even ...... Do not give in to death. And these people have long been accustomed to life in the army. A comfortable day like this......

Although it is enjoyable in the eyes of others, only those who are really in it can feel the discomfort and anxiety in it.

Fortunately, Chu Ci covered it up very well, and the hedgehog, Lu Weiming, and Liang Sihao rarely appeared in front of people, so naturally no one found out.

Probably only Xu Shuoyang, the guy in charge of "external public relations and communication", except for the time spent walking along the interstellar channel in the interstellar space, all the people who were busy with the things they used to be most happy with have not had time to think about these for the time being.

"Huh...... What's wrong with being comfortable, Mr. Mo Chu also knows that a place like our Lanno Galaxy, although it sounds like it is in the Alliance, it also occupies the weight of a galaxy, but in fact, because the Lanno Galaxy is located in the outermost part of the Alliance, and it was just someone who happened to encounter a mature wormhole in this place, and then discovered that the Lanno Galaxy, which is not large, is already a complete and independent galaxy, and then there was immigration and development. To put it bluntly, it's just a galaxy that no one else looks down on. The inhabitants of the galaxy like us only want to live in peace and contentment, and to live in good health for a lifetime. ”

Bai Kunyang's words were unexpectedly sincere and self-deprecating, but when he mentioned the residents of Lannuoxing, the expression on his face was unusually warm.

There are so many people and so many compatriots in the entire galaxy, if he doesn't have to do it, how can he be willing to move these compatriots of his own into great danger?

Chu Ci wasn't angry, just looked at each other with a smile. "I once read an old saying in the ancient literature of the Federation, that if a person has no foresight, he must have near-term worries. I also saw a word called self-deception. ”

However, since it is self-deception, how can it be deceived to the end?

Sooner or later, lies will be exposed, and the self-deceiving cold horn bird will freeze to death sooner or later.

"Mr. Mo Chu's knowledge is too profound." Bai Kunyang's face became a little ugly, and even his tone of voice was not as gentle as at the beginning, but rather a bit of citrus with a gun and a stick. After all, no one likes someone to say that about their galaxy and the people around them.

"Passing the prize." Chu Ci smiled subtly, but there was no shame or smugness at all. It's just faint, and it doesn't seem to be affected at all.

As a person in the 21st century, even if you are unheard, you still know a lot about the culture of your country. Some heritage, the reason why it is called heritage, is precisely because it is engraved in the bones. At least for Chu Ci, that's it.

Bai Kunyang twisted his eyebrows, his expression a little cold. Obviously, Chu Ci's current attitude has begun to annoy the other party.

Chu Ci just smiled and added water to the tea cup in front of Bai Kunyang. "I have no intention of drawing Lanor into the war. It's just that we all know that this war between the Federation and the Interstellar Alliance is destined to have a result, especially when one swears to die and refuses to back down, and the other finally breathes a bad breath, and every time they try to mistreat each other, if you add all the grievances between the Federation and the Alliance......"

It can be said without hesitation that the Federation and the Alliance, this time between the two, are destined to have a great loss of vitality since then, or even lose a qiē.

"Actually, although this is a bit ugly, I think even you have to admit that the combined armed forces of the entire Lanno system are probably not comparable to those escorts under my son-in-law, right?" Chu Ci smiled innocently and kindly, as if he had nothing to do with the poisonous tongue in his words. "Do you think that I have come here to seek your help by force?"

Bai Kunyang: ......

He didn't want to talk, really.

"To put it mildly, it is still unknown who will take advantage of whom." When Chu Ci said this, his eyes were calm and confident, even with a little ease. "Of course, Mr. Bai, you have the right to choose, and after all, this is Lannoxing, and we will also abide by Lannoxing's rules."

Bai Kunyang: ......

What this means is that if it weren't for the rules of Lanno, it wouldn't have been a bit of a fuss, would it? It's a threat, right?!

"But don't be in a hurry." Chu Ci smiled slyly, "After all, this matter still has to be decided by Old Man Bai to be effective, whether it is you or me, there is no point in being in a hurry here, what do you think?" ”

The expression on Bai Kunyang's face changed, and then he smiled slowly. Mo Chu said this, but I didn't know how to answer.

Chu Ci shook his head, the smile on his face didn't seem to have been taken off from beginning to end, and he didn't feel that he needed to take it off. Even when Bai Kunyang was about to turn his face, he still smiled gently and peacefully, as if there was no difference in the anger of the other party before. "Please don't mind, it's just that this matter is not between you and me after all, and sometimes it can be bad." R1152
