Chapter 435: 434. Strong-minded person

Two minutes later, Fang Yining rubbed his stiff face and gave an awkward, silly chuckle.

"No matter what you study, since you’re younger than me, you’re definitely a junior!"

Tang Shu detected a fleeting look of doubt on his face, but it was quick to change.

Great, he’s another one who thinks she’s a burden.

From his expression, she read something similar to what she’d gotten from Zheng Anhe.

"I’d appreciate it if Senior could help me get familiar with the surroundings."

Tang Shu didn’t mind and looked around at the distinctive Tibetan architecture.

"No problem, no problem."

"We’ve already talked with the hotel owner. You can drink as much sweet tea as you like here, rent Tibetan robes to wear, and even try making Peach Blossom Wine. If you’re interested, Junior, it’s really quite an experience."

As Fang Yining made introductions along the way, Tang Shu nodded in response.

Seeing his eyes light up with satisfaction when he mentioned these experiences, she knew they had already gotten a thorough feel for their surroundings.

"Is this Senior Fang’s first visit to West Market?"

"Yes, although our major deals with antiques all year round, the chances to venture out are sparse, let alone to see an unexcavated ancient tomb. Not just me, everyone is excited."

Tang Shu was silent—clearly he hadn’t considered the less than enthusiastic Senior Zheng.

He wasn’t excited at all.

"How far is it from here to the ancient tomb?"

"About three hundred kilometers left, but the roads here are rugged due to the high altitude. Director Yang said it should take about two more days to get there."

The archaeological team had brought many professional pieces of equipment and had driven all the way from the capital, taking in all the scenery and gradually getting used to the local environment.

"By the way," Fang Yining tightened his leather jacket and glanced at Tang Shu’s suitcase.

"Did you bring enough clothes, Junior? It gets very cold here at night, usually around one or two degrees."

It was already evening, and the sunset was a fiery red spreading across the sky, making the clear sky look even more transparent, a magnificent sight indeed.

"I’ve brought enough, thank you for your concern, Senior."

Tang Shu’s Inner Strength was improving daily, and she wasn’t afraid of the cold.

But when she left the Palm Pavilion, Tiantian Yang insisted on stuffing various kinds of clothes into her suitcase—light down jackets, a jacket, wool coats...

"It’s no big deal. If you need more clothes, you can buy them nearby; the villagers are very amiable."

After a few more reminders, they finished touring the hotel, and the two parted ways.

Tang Shu placed her luggage in her room, opened the window, and standing on the outdoor balcony, looked outside to breathe in the fresh air.

Not far from the hotel was an ancient temple bustling with people, many of whom were pilgrims clad in various colors of Tibetan attire, sitting in rows, forming a unique cultural landscape.

Tang Shu noticed that some were in tattered clothes, quite plain, their bodies covered in dust and mud. Yet even this could not stop their forward steps.

The hearts of strong people are inherently powerful.

She continued to gaze into the distance, spotting a long Jade Belt afar.

It was a lake that threaded through the entire village, seemingly boundless.

Tang Shu felt a slight stir in her heart.

The lake’s water displayed different colors from various angles. From her perspective, looking out into the distance, it looked like an aerial view, with the entire Jade Belt a rare shade of emerald green; further away, it turned azure blue.
