Large-scale mausoleums always have hereditary tomb guardians. Bai Chuwei seems very familiar with this tomb and has consistently advocated not to open it. Could she be... a descendant of the guardians?
If that’s the case, it would be somewhat troublesome.
Professor Sun and several experts exchanged glances, contemplating persuading Bai Chuwei.
Bai Chuwei turned to leave but then halted and looked back at them, "Aren’t we opening the mausoleum? Aren’t you going?"
There’s no need even for persuasion?
Professor Ge was delighted. He reckoned he wouldn’t even have to eat dirt, considering how the considerate student Bai Chuwei knew about his weak constitution and was mindful about such matters.
When the news spread that Bai Chuwei agreed to help, the whole archaeology team was overjoyed, and the staff quickly prepped the equipment.
Zhou Nan returned with his phone and said somewhat uneasily, "Professors, should we stop the live stream?"
The live chat went wild:
[Aaaah do not stop it, I have never seen a live archaeological excavation!]
[Please stream it, I just want to have a few more glimpses of the Immortal Teacher, I’m not interested in archaeology.]
[Keep it going, and speed up~]
Seeing the eager news media, the experts consulted and handed the streaming camera over to the official media, preparing a professional cameraman to enter the tomb passageway.
The excitement intensified in the chatroom—
[Why am I feeling both excited and scared?]
[Weiwei sweetie, take care of yourself. Mama’s worried about you. I’m a mom fan of the Immortal Teacher.]
[Why are the experts dressed so thoroughly... and they’ve put on gas masks too? It feels somewhat dangerous.]
Everyone was fully armed, not a sliver of skin exposed, whereas Bai Chuwei, in her signature white dress, showed her slender, fair ankles, looking like she was off to a sightseeing trip, with no equipment whatsoever!
Bai Chuwei looked amused, "What’s with the getup?"
With her around, could they possibly encounter any trouble?
The experts’ faces turned red, suddenly remembering their dance on her ancestor’s grave that morning, and how they had recovered only after taking the medicine Bai Chuwei provided.
The professors were extremely hopeful, all gazing eagerly at Bai Chuwei, "Student Bai, do you have any more of that stuff?"
Bai Chuwei spread her hands, "No more, that’s all there was."
She paused for a few seconds, then a self-satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her lips, "With me here, nothing can go wrong. Let’s move." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel⟡fire.net
It’s just an Emperor’s mausoleum. Her ancestors could protect them all.
Bai Chuwei turned and walked towards the tomb passageway then suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked at Xu Xingchen with a teasing smile. She crooked her finger at him, "Classmate Xu is an outstanding intern. It’s easier for you to take notes if you walk beside me."
Xu Xingchen felt his legs go weak in an instant, his face turning deathly pale, his body shaking uncontrollably with fear.
Damn it, Bai Chuwei, a woman known for taking revenge for the smallest slights, was going to settle scores with him now!
And not a single person noticed.
A set of envious eyes gazed at Xu Xingchen.
Some interns said enviously, "Look at how excited Xu Xingchen is, shaking all over. I’m so jealous of him."
Xu Xingchen: "!!" Excited? He was terrified by Bai Chuwei, this witch.
Everybody knows that experts take the lead. Interns like them are only there to run errands and take notes from behind, yet Xu Xingchen had earned the Immortal Teacher’s favor and was allowed to walk in front."
Such a cause for envy.
Xu Xingchen stiffly walked up to Bai Chuwei, when he suddenly heard her chuckle in a low voice, "You seem quite happy, don’t you?"
