Chapter 1173: Chapter 1174: Please Rest Assured, Family mbers
Chiang Xiao looked at ng Xinian with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
“Officer ng is so righteous and awe-inspiring…”
Tsk tsk, to encounter romance even on a mission in such a place!
Chiang Xiao really felt that Tyrant ng’s romantic luck was too flourishing! How co there were admirers everywhere?
Indeed, the romantic luck was excessively thriving!
ng Xinian reached out to pat her head, whispering so only the two of them could hear, “Jealous?”
Chiang Xiao snorted.
“Silly girl,” ng Xinian struggled to hold back his laughter, “rest assured, family mber, I promise I won’t do anything to wrong you.”
What family mber…
“Let’s go, where’s the treasure you wanted
to see?”
Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes at him.
ng Xinian really wanted to hold her hand, but he refrained from doing so in broad daylight.
“This way.”
He led her into the tomb chamber they had visited earlier.
Xiao Cai watched their retreating figures, biting her lower lip.
The short-haired girl nudged her with an elbow, whispering, “Xiao Cai, that girl just now is Officer ng’s significant other, right? She’s really pretty!”
“I don’t think so. That girl looks like a high school student, Officer ng wouldn’t be dating soone that young, right?” Xiao Cai imdiately retorted.
The bespectacled man laughed, “Exactly, if he were to find soone, it would have to be soone like our Xiao Cai, a college student. Right, Xiao Cai?”
“Get lost.”
Xiao Cai glared at him.
Chiang Xiao and ng Xinian entered the tomb chamber and saw Kuang Yunxian standing in front of a mural on the wall, so engrossed in the painting that he seed to have forgotten himself.
“Brother Kuang.”
Chiang Xiao called out, and Kuang Yunxian ca back to his senses, turning to look at her, “Xiao Chiang, co here, take a look, how is this painting?”
Chiang Xiao walked over and, upon closer examination, was sowhat moved.
On the two-person-tall stone wall, there was an extrely lavish night banquet depicted.
Yes, a night banquet.
Moreover, it was a night banquet held in a forest.
The bright moonlight bathed the forest clearly in light. In a valley surrounded by trees, there was a lake as smooth as a mirror. Next to the lake, nurous tables were set, each with exquisite food and drinks drawn in great detail. At each table sat two people, clad in splendid attire, expressing various emotions.
So were raising their glasses, so drinking heavily, so gazing at the moon, so picking a flower, so looking down pensively, and so in lively conversation.
There were more interesting details in the picture that you could see only if you looked carefully.
Monkeys craftily stealing fruit, junglefowl pecking at the food that had fallen under the tables.
“How can there be such a painting?” Chiang Xiao was quite astonished.
“I find it strange too,” Kuang Yunxian stood beside her, saying, “I think this must have been a real scene that existed at so point, aning there truly was such a forest night banquet, and the artist must have participated, which is why it could be drawn so ticulously and realistically.”
“But, how could soone hold a banquet in a valley? I don’t recall any historical records ntioning sothing like this.”
“Exactly, no records, and look at the clothes these people are wearing; they’re unfamiliar, not resembling any known dynasty’s style.”
“I heard that there were Tang and Song Dynasty paintings found here.”
“Yes, over there,” Kuang Yunxian pointed to a side where there was a large chest, open and filled with scrolls. “We will need to wait for so professors to co before properly examining those. However, personally, I feel that this mural isn’t related to those.”
ng Xinian watched them stand side by side, discussing quietly, a flash of contemplation in his eyes.
