Chapter: 5842

Heo Chen nodded his head and said, "These three sandalwood incense sticks must have started burning from the moment you left."

As he spoke, Heo Chen closed his eyes and delicately sniffed the aroma of the sandalwood incense, sighing in awe. "This sandalwood incense is truly excellent, better than any sandalwood incense I've ever smelled!"

Lin Wan'er agreed, saying, "I was about to say... this sandalwood incense is indeed very good, and as someone who loves tea and perfume, I must say that even the best old mountain sandalwood I've encountered doesn't compare to this one. The aroma is rich, deep, and subtly sweet."

Heo Chen couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "It seems we're taking each step according to their calculations. They must have calculated that you would notice something unusual and also calculated that we would return here. These three sandalwood incense sticks should be for us."

Saying this, he walked across the main hall, just about to head into the rear garden to investigate further, but was drawn in by a wooden door on the side and back of the main hall.

He carefully pushed open this door and discovered that inside was a small room of roughly five or six square meters.

Heo Chen gave it a quick glance and found that, apart from a simple wooden chair and a small wooden table that was less than half a meter wide, there seemed to be nothing else in the room.

However, a special scent wafted through the room, leaving one feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Heo Chen took a closer look and saw that on top of the small wooden table, there was a strand of wood beads that matched the color of the table almost perfectly.

The beads were made from round wooden balls with a diameter of about one centimeter, presenting a deep and rich brown color with a subtle sheen. They emitted a strong woody aroma.

The strand was placed in the center of the table, looking like someone had left it there intentionally.

Heo Chen walked forward and picked up the strand of beads, upon touching them he could feel the warmth and softness of each bead, while the entire strand felt light and airy. The special scent also led him to suspect that it was made from agarwood.

Just then, Lin Wan'er walked in, surprised and asked, "Where did the public's agarwood strand come from?"

Heo Chen turned around and smiled at her, saying, "I found it on this table."

Lin Wan'er approached cautiously and asked, "Publicly, may I take a look?"

Heo Chen nodded and handed her the agarwood strand.

Lin Wan'er held the strand delicately in her palm, marveling at it. "This is the best grade of white sandalwood, a limited edition from Hainan Island, and even an unparalleled treasure that has never been seen before..."

"Unparalleled?" Heo Chen asked curiously. "Is this thing expensive?"

Lin Wan'er said, "The top-grade white sandalwood strands available on the market are auctioned off for tens of thousands per kilogram. But in terms of quality, it's still inferior to this one. I've never seen such good material..."

Heo Chen exclaimed, "You must have drunk the tea leaves from the mother plant and lived until now. When I first met you in Northern Europe, your celadon porcelain was exquisite. What else is there that you haven't seen?"

Lin Wan'er covered her red lips with a gentle smile and said, "The public servant is too magnanimous towards me. In this world, people like dragons hiding among the grass are numerous. Almost everything known to the world is not the best, so encountering something new is normal."

As she spoke, she handed the strand back to Heo Chen, saying, "Publicly, this strand should be a gift from them. You'd better receive it and keep it well."

Heo Chen said, "It might have been for you instead?"

"No," Lin Wan'er giggled. "If they were sending it to me, they wouldn't have been able to send it."

"Why are you saying that?" Heo Chen asked curiously. JrNovels.com
