"Why did you buy this thing?"
Huo Sining was still deep in thought when Gu Xu suddenly spoke.
His meaning was clear: the lacquerware didn't reveal much about its origin, and from the surface, it seemed to have little value.
"Hmm?" Huo Sining snapped out of her daze, her expression pausing before she said casually, "This cylindrical lacquerware is somewhat different from traditional lacquerware. The lacquer application is excellent, but the carving is mediocre. So, I suspect this piece is meant to deceive and possibly contains something inside."
Huo Sining's words were purely speculative, but they piqued Gu Xu's interest. He scrutinized the peculiar lacquerware closely, his eyes flashing with a hint of surprise.
