They've come with ill intentions!
In his memory, Shen Lanshang had been very quiet ever since she joined the archaeological team, but this night was quite different. It seemed that the entire desert was her backdrop, making her appear exceptionally powerful.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shen Lanshang, and my father is Shen Fenggu. We worked together on the excavation of the Changsheng King's Tomb." Linghu Lan smiled slightly.
Jiang Fu's eyes darkened further. He had been trying to pretend he didn't know, but today he was facing it head-on.
He quickly flashed a warm smile.
"So you're Professor Shen's daughter. It's an honor to meet you. I've heard Professor Shen mention before that his daughter also studied archaeology. What a coincidence!"
“I’ve also heard my dad mention you. He said you’re an archaeological genius with unique insights into archaeology. My dad once said that you specifically asked him about some legends of the Ghost Mother Kingdom. I think you must have known long ago that Ming Xiao is a descendant of the Panlong Bride, right?”
The air fell silent.
Under the moonlight, someone stirred, then pretended to be asleep again.
Ming Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Fu with some surprise.
Jiang Fu glanced at Ming Xiao, walked over and gently patted her back to comfort her, then calmly said to Linghu Lan, "I don't know!"
Ming Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and silently glanced at Linghu Lan.
She wasn't stupid; she could sense that Linghu Lan had ulterior motives for bringing this up.
She was terrified. If what Linghu Lan said was true, it meant that Jiang Fu had a purpose in bringing her to find the Ghost Mother Kingdom.
Having lost her family at a young age, love is incredibly important to her. Jiang Fu is perfect in her eyes, the only person who can tolerate her secrets.
If Jiang Fu plots against her, her world will collapse.
Fortunately, Jiang Fu denied it.
She felt a little relieved, and gave Linghu Lan a reproachful look, disgusted that she had slandered Jiang Fu. Although she was very curious about the Panlong Bride, she stubbornly did not ask.
Linghu Lan smiled warmly as always. She looked directly at Jiang Fu. "But you're not surprised!"
A glint flashed in Jiang Fu's eyes, but he quickly lowered his gaze, concealing the hostility in his eyes.
His first instinct was that Shen Lanshang was deliberately trying to sabotage his relationship with Ming Xiao.
He had indeed read about the custom of worshipping the coiled dragon in some ancient books. At that time, the Ghost Mother Kingdom was powerful and attracted all nations to pay tribute, which promoted cultural exchange.
According to legend, the Ghost Mother's ability to control clouds and rain was obtained through the sacrifice of the Panlong. Many people wanted to obtain such abilities, so they completely replicated the sacrificial ritual. Therefore, the story of offering a bride to the Panlong can be found in folk legends.
When he saw Mingxiao, the legend of the Ghost Mother Kingdom came to mind. Later, his interactions with Mingxiao basically confirmed that the legend of the Ghost Mother Kingdom was true, and Mingxiao was likely living evidence of the existence of the Ghost Mother Kingdom. This was the real reason that prompted him to search for the Ghost Mother Kingdom.
When a legend becomes reality, it becomes exceptionally captivating.
At that time, the Ghost Mother Kingdom was very powerful and had accumulated countless riches. However, the Ghost Mother Kingdom was buried by the snow-capped mountains, and its treasures were buried deep underground along with the ancient city.
This was a journey destined to be very rewarding. He didn't understand what role Mingxiao played in it, but he had a feeling that she must have some connection with the Ghost Mother Kingdom.
Ming Xiao glanced at Jiang Fu.
Jiang Fu remained calm.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she decided to direct her anger at Linghu Lan: "Chen Lanshang, what do you mean?"
