Chapter 175: Chapter 175: The Shocked Archaeological Community

"Of course, this can only partially corroborate that the vase is real..."

Of course...

The words of Liao Xuexue had exceeded the understanding of everyone present.

They were not archaeologists or historians.

So, listening to her, they just felt bewildered.

However, they were also well aware that if the item Ye Chen had discovered truly dated back more than 1500 years to the Tang Dynasty, then the value of this vase was absolutely immeasurable!

At the moment, Ye Chen stood aside, calmly staring at the vase.

Although he appeared composed on the surface, his heart was just as shaken as everyone else’s.

After all, while others may be uncertain about the item’s authenticity, Ye Chen was different; he could be sure!

If Liao Xuexue, this young girl, wasn’t mistaken,

Then he might have really discovered something extraordinary.

Moreover, the historical value of this item greatly surpassed its physical value.

But now another problem had surfaced.

What to do with this item?

After a bitter smile, Ye Chen slowly said, "Should this be handed over to the state, in exchange for another silk banner?"

...

Jiang City.

This fourth-tier city cannot compare with the other first and second-tier cities in Hua Country.

It even lags behind several other small neighboring cities.

However, in recent years, the economic development of Jiang City has been remarkably swift.

Once the rate of economic development accelerated, the shortcomings of this small city emerged.

Compared to larger cities, small cities truly lack historical and cultural heritage.

In Hua Country, an ancient civilization, while these shortcomings may not be significant, they still, to some extent, hinder the development of the city.

In this context, a historian from Jiang City, applying what she had learned throughout her life, sought to make contributions to her hometown.

And Zhou Fanghua, the female history professor at Jiang City University, was just such an individual.

At this moment, she was researching materials about Jiang City at the school.

She aimed to use those historical documents to trace the city’s historical development and uncover historical threads in Jiang City that had not yet been explored.

It was then that her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller ID, she became instantly agitated and her expression turned respectfully solemn.

The caller was her mentor.

The famous historian and archaeologist of Hua Country, Mr. Jin Tie!

His research field included modern Chinese intellectual history, characteristics of various dynasties, among other academic studies.

Especially regarding the Tang Dynasty, he could be called the foremost expert in recent Hua Country modern research on the Tang Dynasty!

The old gentleman had recently been obsessed with excavations of Tang Dynasty relics, so they hadn’t been in touch for some time.

Seeing a sudden call from Mr. Jin Tie, Zhou Fanghua was naturally very excited.

"Teacher Jin, what made you think of calling me all of a sudden? How is your health lately?"

Although Zhou Fanghua was now over sixty years old, in front of her mentor, she was always an eternally youthful student.

However, what surprised Zhou Fanghua was,

Upon hearing her greeting, Mr. Jin Tie didn’t rush to respond, but instead got straight to the point and asked, "Zhou Fanghua, you’re from Jiang City, right?"

"Where are you now?"

Zhou Fanghua was taken aback and though surprised, she still answered, "Yes, I’m from Jiang City. I’m at Jiang City University’s teaching building now, what’s the matter?"

The old voice on the other end of the phone then became more urgent.

"No problem!!"

"Drive now to a place called Haina Baichuan Fish Pond on the outskirts of the city and wait for me, I’ll be there in about an hour."

"This..." Zhou Fanghua was puzzled.

If she remembered correctly, Mr. Jin Tie was supposed to be in Rong City.

Had something urgent come up?

"My plane is about to take off, go watch a live stream by a streamer named Ye Chen, and you’ll find out."

"It seems that streamer might have discovered something extraordinary."

"My plane is taking off now!"

With that, the call was cut off.

Though very confused, acting on her mentor’s request was imperative.

Zhou Fanghua put down her work and prepared to contact the driver, to head towards Haina Baichuan Fish Pond in Jiang City.

About five minutes later, Zhou Fanghua got into the car.

When the driver asked for her destination, Zhou Fanghua furrowed her brow in thought for a moment, then said a name.

"Haina Baichuan Fish Pond..."

Thereafter, the driver started the car and began moving.

Later, a casual comment from the driver made Zhou Fanghua even more surprised...

"Professor Zhou, isn’t that place known as Black Pond for fishing?"

Indeed...

The driver’s words reminded Zhou Fanghua.

In the past, aside from studying history, her mentor also had a great passion for fishing!

And as he grew older, not only did his love for fishing not wane, it actually intensified!

In her memory, if someone couldn’t reach Mr. Jin Tie, generally it was for one of two reasons.

Either he was engrossed in academic research or there was an emergence of ancient relics somewhere in Hua Country.

The other was that he took time off to go fishing to relax.

But she herself wasn’t interested in fishing...

Moreover, her teacher wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to take a plane there just to fish after calling her.

To unravel this puzzle, it probably only made sense through the other clue her teacher left her.

That was to check the live stream being conducted by that streamer named Ye Chen.

Ye Chen?

Sitting in the car, looking at the traffic outside the window, Zhou Fanghua rubbed her forehead.

This name seemed familiar; she had heard it mentioned before, but she was busy with work at the time, so she didn’t listen to much.

Her curiosity grew.

So, she took out her phone.

She quickly found not only some news about Ye Chen but also found his live stream room.

At that moment, Zhou Fanghua remembered.

Wasn’t this Ye Chen the streamer who had caught a giant python in Jinbao residential area yesterday?

Earlier in the week, a giant python appeared in Jinbao residential area in Jiang City, causing everyone to be in fear.

Moreover, the over ten-meter-long python, which professional catchers couldn’t seize, was somehow caught by a young man with a fishing rod.

And there had been a rumor lately.

That was that one of her proudest students seemed to be getting very close to this Ye Chen.

After a brief look at the news about Ye Chen, Zhou Fanghua remembered everything.

But...

What did this have to do with her teacher rushing from Rong City to Jiang City, wanting to reach Haina Baichuan Fish Pond?

Next, when Zhou Fanghua entered Ye Chen’s live stream room, she quickly understood.
