Chapter 473: Chapter 464: The Ancient Capital Ruins Map in the USB Drive

"To be honest with Miss Jiang, I felt an instant connection with Mr. Shen. However, Mr. Shen seems a bit indifferent, and hardly shows any expression towards me. I was thinking if we could spend more time together, he might change his opinion of me."

When Chong Yin said this, both his expression and tone were very sincere.

Along with his slightly troubled and melancholic face.

Jiang Lingxi quickly caught the sound of several people gasping in admiration from across the room.

But she was not among them at all.

In fact, her gaze became even colder, "An instant connection?"

"Exactly, I wonder if Mr. Shen mentioned to you that we came from the Imperial City to Liangchuan, and even took the same flight."

"In what way was it an instant connection?"

"If possible, I’d like to become friends with Mr. Shen. Despite his young age, he’s truly exceptional. And I, I love making friends with outstanding people,"

Jiang Lingxi finally curved her lips into a slight smile at him, "He will likely leave tomorrow."

She was curious to see what this person was scheming behind the scenes.

Chong Yin pressed his lips together.

He thought they would stay for several days, after all, such a trip was rare.

With only one night left, it was indeed a bit tight on time.

After wrapping up in the afternoon, Jiang Lingxi asked Lu Zhengzheng and Changning to get the meals, while she removed her makeup and returned directly to the RV.

On the RV, facing the several pairs of eyes looking over, she walked over and sat naturally next to Shen Yunqing, "How are things going, any progress this afternoon?"

Chang Fu rotated the laptop in front of him by 180 degrees, turning the screen towards Jiang Lingxi.

"The contents of the USB drive have been successfully deciphered; it’s a map."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at the screen and recognized what it was, "Ruins?"

Shen Yunqing responded with a light hum, "It’s an Ancient Capital Ruins, dating back more than three thousand years."

Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but look at him, meeting Shen Yunqing’s gaze.

She instantly understood his message.

The age of this Ancient Capital Ruins was almost the same as the founding time of Dayin.

The Changcang Sect, as an organization where everyone seeks immortality, wouldn’t go on an archaeological dig in the desert for no reason, even at the cost of lives.

The owner of this USB drive was one of them.

So what exactly are they looking for?

"It seems we have to go into the desert once," Wu Jue enlarged the map on the computer screen, "Based on what I know about the Changcang Sect, their Sect Leader never acts without purpose; she always has her reasons. There must be something she wants in those Ancient Capital Ruins."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at Wu Jue with a further inquisitive look, "How do I feel that Wu Jue is quite familiar with the Sect Leader of the Changcang Sect?"

"Haha," Wu Jue laughed awkwardly with indifference, "Isn’t there a saying that one’s enemy knows them best?"

"That’s true."

Jiang Lingxi nodded, even though she sensed Wu Jue was hiding something, she didn’t pursue it further.

"Since you’ve decided to go to the desert, when are you planning to set off?"

This time it was Chang Fu who responded; he pointed at the dismantled USB drive plugged into the computer, "Although I broke the signal transmitter on the USB, I’m still not sure if there are other mechanisms. When Changning touched it, he was accidentally injured by the Mage’s methods embedded in the USB. So my suggestion is, the sooner the better!"

Jiang Lingxi pursed her lips and frowned lightly.

She estimated that, based on the current progress, her filming with the crew would wrap up in about ten days.

She had thought of going into the desert with them.

But now it seemed like just a thought.

"Are all preparations for entering the desert complete?"

Shen Yunqing nodded, "I’ve arranged a team of over ten people, all top experts. Plus, with Wu Jue and Zhang Ying, and Chang Fu, vehicles and supplies are all ready, now awaiting at the desert edge."

The three called out by him all nodded in unison.

Even though Wu Jue was a bit embarrassed after the questioning earlier, he now met Jiang Lingxi’s gaze squarely and assured her with conviction, "Rest assured, I will bring everyone back safely!"

Jiang Lingxi naturally trusted Shen Yunqing to handle matters, but she was concerned about the desert at this time.

As it was nearing the end of October, she remembered there would soon be snowfall.

"Director Wei previously inquired with the natives here; it’s very likely to snow by the end of the month, and there will be a strong cold front hitting. I’m not sure if it will snow at this Ancient Capital Ruins, but a severe drop in temperature is certain. So, within ten days, try your best to return. Also, be sure to bring plenty of warm clothing and equipment."

Once the words were spoken, the heads in the carriage all nodded in agreement.

Wu Jue sighed, "I also suspected, and since the natives say so, it must be a certainty."

When Changning and Lu Zhengzheng returned with the meals, everyone ate dinner in the carriage, then cleaned up and got off.

Changning and Lu Zhengzheng also left hand in hand with their toiletries, planning not to return for the night.

After all, there were still some tents left by the crew, and if not, they could find a familiar one to squeeze in at night.

Resolutely refusing to return to the RV to act as a third wheel.

Thus, the carriage, a bit crowded during dinner, soon became empty.

"I..."

"Chong Yin approached me this afternoon saying he felt an instant connection with you and wanted to be friends. I think he has bad intentions!"

Shen Yunqing: "...I think so too."

"He even tried every way today to find out when you would leave. I told him tomorrow."

Shen Yunqing: "If he truly intends any mischief, then he only has tonight."

"Let’s see what tricks he can pull," Jiang Lingxi was curious to see Chong Yin’s next move, but she wouldn’t disregard Shen Yunqing’s safety.

She planned to hold his hand and sleep tonight, plus there was Wu Jue in the nearby vehicle.

Even if Chong Yin used the Mage’s methods, Wu Jue should detect it.

It can’t be that because he’s called Wu Jue, he’s really unaware.

"By the way, what were you going to say just now?"

Even knowing Chong Yin might try something sneaky, Shen Yunqing didn’t feel nervous at all.

After all, the person in front of him was much more nerve-wracking.

"I wanted to look at that painting."

"Painting?" Jiang Lingxi quickly recalled which painting he meant.

Getting up and walking to the built-in safe designed for storing valuables near the bed, she unlocked it with her fingerprint, retrieved the well-preserved scroll inside, and turned to find Shen Yunqing already standing behind her, extending it forward, "Here."

Shen Yunqing hurriedly received it with both hands and walked back to the table. He even wiped the already clean table with a tissue before placing the scroll gently on it and gingerly unrolling it.

Seeing him treat it so solemnly, Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

If one didn’t know, they’d think he was handling a rare treasure!
