Chapter 442: When can I see your face?

Twenty-five people in total, most of whom were of a similar build, and they all appeared very robust.

Just by looking at them, one could tell they weren’t ordinary people.

After Tang Shu finished reviewing the photos, she also arrived at the same conclusion as Wen Nuan, these people were most likely that group of tomb raiders.

They had come for the ancient tomb and the Jade Pendant she possessed.

"They sure act quickly," she remarked.

Tang Shu had flown from the Imperial Capital to West Market with much fanfare. Now, it seemed to have had an effect, as it only took two days for them to be found.

"How could they not? This is the archaeological team’s second time entering the tomb. They’re afraid these archaeological experts might break the tomb’s mechanisms and find the underground palace."

And within the ancient tomb, there are usually burial objects of inestimable value.

After Su Xiaochi finished giving his orders, he leaned back, acting like a big shot.

"What shall we eat later?"

"...Weren’t you here to discuss important matters?"

"Oh," this fellow showed no awareness of being a bodyguard, "eating is also important business."

Tang Shu was at a loss for words, took out her phone, and began to search, looking for something to eat nearby.

This caused Su Xiaochi’s mouth to twitch, "Sister Tang, we’re deep in the Tibetan Area, and the villagers here aren’t fond of playing with phones. What use is browsing Dianping here?"

"Come on, I’ll take you out today and we can ask around as we go, and also enjoy the local scenery along the way."

Someone patted their behind, ready to leave, and Tang Shu stood up.

"Aren’t you worried that people will say we know each other?"

"Pretending we didn’t know each other before was because we indeed shouldn’t have, but we’ve been on the road for two days now. Can’t we get to know each other again? Just fabricate some excuse, and that’ll be enough."

"Hmm—how about saying that you’re also one of my fans?"

"...."

Sister Tang, that’s a dangerous idea. What about saving face?

Tang Shu faced Su Xiaochi’s questioning gaze, shrugged her shoulders, and said nothing.

Face? Sorry, with you, this shameless fellow around, who would care about face?

After storing their luggage, most of the archaeological team went out to enjoy the local sights.

There was one exception, however.

Zheng Anhe paid for his room and began to inquire about local information from a girl at the front desk.

"I heard that you can find guides here?"

"That’s right, my brother often acts as a guide for tour groups or those on self-driving trips. He has a very good reputation!"

The girl obviously did not want to miss out on a big business opportunity, so she vigorously promoted her brother.

Zheng Anhe, having been involved with the student union for years, was quite slick.

"Girl, we’re not going to any tourist sites, we’re going to the west side of the canyon. That area isn’t often visited by tour groups."

"Are you going to the newly discovered ancient tomb there?"

"Yes."

Sensing the evaluative and suspicious look in the girl’s eyes, he elaborated a bit more.

"We’re an archaeological team, legitimately entering the tomb, and we also have official access permits issued by the government."

He opened his phone and showed her the electronic version of his permit to enter the Tibetan Area.

After the girl confirmed the authenticity of the document, she visibly relaxed.

The Tibetan Area boasts beautiful scenery and a wealth of rare wildlife, which naturally attracts the attention of some criminals. In such a westerly location, one or two poachers were always to be encountered.

If they had indeed been such people, she had no idea whether her brother would return safely from guiding them.

"That’s good then, that’s no problem at all. Even if you were entering endless forests, my brother could definitely lead you out safely!"
