Uncle Liu inspected the wooden box carefully, sighing with admiration, "This wooden box is so exquisitely crafted, the person who made it must have put in a lot of effort."
To Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu, Uncle Liu was an expert in the world of carpentry, and his praise for the box's craftsmanship was due to its true intricacy.
But Gu Tong saw it differently, knowing that Uncle Liu had rushed the box overnight for the sole purpose of holding the Jade Wood Fish.
Now he was praising the box's craftsmanship, wasn't he indirectly praising himself?
That seemed a bit too self-admiring.
Gu Tong curled his lips; knowing the truth, he just quietly watched Uncle Liu perform his act. He wouldn't say a word!
Uncle Liu touched the box and then looked up at Chu Ge to ask, "You said there's a wooden fish inside this box? May I open it and have a look?"
Chu Ge nodded. It was rare for Uncle Liu to take an interest in such a thing; it would be good to have him verify its authenticity.
