Chapter 72 The Boy Who Chases the Light, I'll Take Care of You



“Items from the Warring States period are all extremely precious cultural relics.”

"To protect it, there are requirements for temperature and humidity. How could anyone possibly take it out?"

Guan Yuxi collapsed into his arms.

Panting heavily, he revealed the answer to the mystery.

Leng Lie: "......"

Is it really that simple?

"Grandpa Dai must have a very high status."

Guan Yuxi chuckled and shook her head, "If I'm not mistaken."

That is the vessel that King Goujian of Yue used to drown his sorrows with wine when he was enduring hardship and humiliation.

Therefore, unless he is number one, it's impossible for him to carry it with him at all times.

She casually pointed to the sky.

The azure sky swept away yesterday's gloom.

The sun peeked out from behind the clouds, its soft and warm light dispelling the chill of early spring.

"I'll go back now."

Is there anything I can do to help you?

Leng Lie kissed her forehead.

Guan Yuxi stared into his eyes, as if trying to see straight into his heart.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I know these things?"

I can do those restorations and antiquing too.

She was slightly nervous.

A cold, large hand enveloped her small hand.

His eyes held a smile and an unyielding tenderness. "My little fairy, it's normal for her to be good at everything."

He reluctantly let her go.

Guan Yuxi waved to him and turned to go down the mountain.

Actually, I read it in the books collected by Grandpa Guan.

She lied.

In the original owner's memory, those two books were only flipped through before being tossed aside.

"Was my previous profession an archaeologist? An artifact restorer?"

She was talking to herself.

Then it was quickly rejected.

Intuitively, she felt indifferent to both jobs.

Even just thinking about it gives me the creeps; I probably would, but I don't love it.

Given her personality, she definitely wouldn't turn something she dislikes into a career!

Who's there?

In the woods, a flock of sparrows flew out, chirping and chattering.

Guan Yuxi stopped in her tracks.

He reached out and broke off a piece of dead wood from the tree.

There was no further movement in that grove of trees.

She walked down the mountain again.

But that ever-present feeling is something I can't shake off.

As she passed a right-angled cliff, she quickly climbed up the side path.

He picked up a few more small stones and threw them forward in rhythm.

Not long after.

Two people dressed in blue-gray work clothes came out.

The scarf was pulled up high, but the brim of the hat was pulled down low.

Guan Yuxi recognized her at a glance.

One is Leng Hongxing.

The other one was the burly man who followed him!

They came for the artifacts in the ancient tomb.

Guan Yuxi wasn't sure.

She quietly climbed the slope and ran back as fast as she could.

Seeing that she was panting heavily, Leng Lie asked, "What's wrong?"

She told him what had happened.

Leng Lie frowned, hesitating to speak, "Could he...?"

Guan Yuxi shook her head decisively, "No."

She didn't think she was that charming, enough to make Leng Hongxing risk his life to come back.

Furthermore, given his personality, if it were truly for her sake...

They won't cower and hide.

"Come with me."

Leng Lie brought her to Old Master Dai.

Guan Yuxi explained what had happened.

Fang Yuan scoffed, "You're overthinking it."

He's just a murderer. Even if he sneaked back, you should report him to the armed forces department.

Not everyone has the connections to get involved in the antique trade!

Leng Lie glared at him fiercely, "Couldn't it be someone else who approached him?"

They were already wanted criminals.

If those people promise to clear his name or send him abroad or something.

Doesn't Leng Hongxing want to take a gamble?

Guan Yuxi looked at Grandpa Dai sincerely, "Grandpa Dai, these are all national treasures."

If it falls into the wrong hands, it may be lost forever.

That bronze tree must be the largest one discovered so far.

You should make more plans, just in case.

Grandpa Dai thought for a moment, nodded, and told Fang Yuan, "Pass the word down to a level one alert."

Fang Yuan looked at him incredulously, "Teacher, isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Grandpa Dai.

He glared angrily at Leng Lie and Guan Yuxi.

"Do you know how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources you waste by saying just one word?"

That's utterly absurd!

Leng Lie glared back at him.

The two stared at each other, neither willing to concede.

Guan Yuxi sighed softly, "Some things are priceless."

As long as we can hold on, any sacrifice is worthwhile.

Old Dai's eyes showed appreciation. "Xiao Fang, you should learn more from Xiao Guan."

Despite being ten years older, he's not as insightful as other girls.

Fang Yuan was a little anxious and frowned as he argued, "But those people are just waiting to find fault with you."

If we waste our resources, you'll be in a passive position...

Grandpa Dai waved his hand.

He said earnestly, "Don't think so much."

Do your best and leave the rest to fate; it's better if nothing like that happens.

If it really happens and we fail to prepare, we will be sinners against history and our nation!

If things really come to that, how well can I possibly fare?

Fang Yuan realized that there was no way to persuade him any further.

They had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

"Xiao Lie, you take Xiao Guan home first."

Leng Lie frowned, about to speak.

Guan Yuxi spoke first, "Yes, he'll go back with me."
