Chapter 1173 - 1173 1174 Please Rest Assured Family Members

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1174: Please Rest Assured, Family Members Chapter 1173: Chapter 1174: Please Rest Assured, Family Members Chiang Xiao looked at Meng Xinian with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

“Officer Meng is so righteous and awe-inspiring…”

Tsk tsk, to encounter romance even on a mission in such a place!

Chiang Xiao really felt that Tyrant Meng’s romantic luck was too flourishing! How come there were admirers everywhere?

Indeed, the romantic luck was excessively thriving!

Meng Xinian reached out to pat her head, whispering so only the two of them could hear, “Jealous?”

Chiang Xiao snorted.

“Silly girl,” Meng Xinian struggled to hold back his laughter, “rest assured, family member, I promise I won’t do anything to wrong you.”

What family member…

“Let’s go, where’s the treasure you wanted me to see?”

Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes at him.

Meng Xinian really wanted to hold her hand, but he refrained from doing so in broad daylight.

“This way.”

He led her into the tomb chamber they had visited earlier.

Xiao Cai watched their retreating figures, biting her lower lip.

The short-haired girl nudged her with an elbow, whispering, “Xiao Cai, that girl just now is Officer Meng’s significant other, right? She’s really pretty!”

“I don’t think so. That girl looks like a high school student, Officer Meng wouldn’t be dating someone that young, right?” Xiao Cai immediately retorted.

The bespectacled man laughed, “Exactly, if he were to find someone, it would have to be someone like our Xiao Cai, a college student. Right, Xiao Cai?”

“Get lost.”

Xiao Cai glared at him.

Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian entered the tomb chamber and saw Kuang Yunxian standing in front of a mural on the wall, so engrossed in the painting that he seemed to have forgotten himself.

“Brother Kuang.”

Chiang Xiao called out, and Kuang Yunxian came back to his senses, turning to look at her, “Xiao Chiang, come here, take a look, how is this painting?”

Chiang Xiao walked over and, upon closer examination, was somewhat moved.

On the two-person-tall stone wall, there was an extremely lavish night banquet depicted.

Yes, a night banquet.

Moreover, it was a night banquet held in a forest.

The bright moonlight bathed the forest clearly in light. In a valley surrounded by trees, there was a lake as smooth as a mirror. Next to the lake, numerous tables were set, each with exquisite food and drinks drawn in great detail. At each table sat two people, clad in splendid attire, expressing various emotions.

Some were raising their glasses, some drinking heavily, some gazing at the moon, some picking a flower, some looking down pensively, and some in lively conversation.

There were more interesting details in the picture that you could see only if you looked carefully.

Monkeys craftily stealing fruit, junglefowl pecking at the food that had fallen under the tables.

“How can there be such a painting?” Chiang Xiao was quite astonished.

“I find it strange too,” Kuang Yunxian stood beside her, saying, “I think this must have been a real scene that existed at some point, meaning there truly was such a forest night banquet, and the artist must have participated, which is why it could be drawn so meticulously and realistically.”

“But, how could someone hold a banquet in a valley? I don’t recall any historical records mentioning something like this.”

“Exactly, no records, and look at the clothes these people are wearing; they’re unfamiliar, not resembling any known dynasty’s style.”

“I heard that there were Tang and Song Dynasty paintings found here.”

“Yes, over there,” Kuang Yunxian pointed to a side where there was a large chest, open and filled with scrolls. “We will need to wait for some professors to come before properly examining those. However, personally, I feel that this mural isn’t related to those.”

Meng Xinian watched them stand side by side, discussing quietly, a flash of contemplation in his eyes.
