"Let's see if she can do anything to me."
Shirley Yang laughed after hearing what Fatty Wang said:
"The fat man is right, she's just a Jingjue queen."
"We came to the ancient city of Jingjue to find out what's going on, are we afraid of her?"
Lin Yang also expressed his support: "Don't worry, I'll handle the Queen of Jingjue."
After a few words, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
But at that moment, Professor Chen suddenly shouted excitedly, "Patriotism! Patriotism!"
Everyone looked back.
Professor Chen collapsed in front of Hao Aiguo, heartbroken, and soon fainted.
His two students, Chu Jian and Ye Yixin, quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"What's wrong with Professor Chen?" Fatty Wang asked.
"Maybe seeing Hao Aiguo reminded him of something sad," Hu Bayi guessed.
Lin Yang frowned and stepped forward to check on Professor Chen's condition.
He then turned to the crowd and said, "Professor Chen only fainted due to emotional distress; it's nothing serious."
"Let's leave here first and find a safe place to settle down."
Hearing Lin Yang say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Two students, Chu Jian and Ye Yixin, quickly helped Professor Chen onto the camel.
Before long, they left the canyon entrance and continued on their way.
Finally, night fell.
After overcoming numerous hardships, they finally arrived at the ancient city of Jingjue.
The ancient city stands majestically, like a giant beast that has been sleeping for thousands of years.
It exudes a mysterious aura under the moonlight.
There are no traces of time on the city walls.
It was as if time had stood still here.
Professor Chen slowly awoke from his coma at that moment.
Looking at the ancient city of Jingjue before him, his eyes gleamed with excitement.
He said in a trembling voice:
"I never imagined that the legendary Jingjue Ancient City actually exists."
"And it's so well preserved, it's simply a miracle!"
When he got emotional, he murmured sadly:
"Patriotism, we have finally arrived at the ancient city of Jingjue."
Upon seeing this, Chu Jian and Ye Yixin quickly stepped forward to comfort Professor Chen.
They knew that Professor Chen had always been fascinated by the ancient city of Jingjue.
Now that his wish has finally come true, it's no wonder he's so emotional.
Hu Bayi frowned deeply at this moment.
He looked around and said to Lin Yang:
"Boss, something's not right about this ancient city."
"Look at this city wall, it's been exposed to wind and sun for so many years!"
"How could it still look brand new?"
Lin Yang also noticed something was wrong.
He nodded and said, "Indeed, this ancient city exudes an eerie atmosphere."
Shirley Yang interjected:
"That's right, such a large ancient city!"
"It's unbelievable that it's exactly the same as the newly built one."
Fatty Wang didn't care about anything else.
He rubbed his hands together and said, "Why worry about so much? I'll go in and take a look first."
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed into the ancient city.
However, not long after, Wang Pangzi's surprised shouts came from inside the ancient city.
Hu Bayi's heart tightened, and he shouted, "Fatty!"
However, no reply came from inside the ancient city.
Seeing this, Lin Yang decisively said:
"Old Hu, go in first and see what's going on."
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi ran towards the ancient city without hesitation.
Lin Yang then turned to Shirley Yang and said:
"You stay here with Professor Chen and the others, I'll go in and take a look."
After saying that, he instructed the white camel to guard the camels well.
Although the white camel was somewhat reluctant, it eventually obeyed.
Lin Yang followed closely in Hu Bayi's footsteps and stepped into the mysterious ancient city of Jingjue.
In a single step, it felt as if I had traversed a tunnel of time.
What greeted us was a bustling night market scene.
The streets of the ancient city are lined with antique buildings.
The carved beams and painted rafters exude a strong historical atmosphere.
However, what is even more surprising is...
These buildings were brightly lit.
The entire ancient city was illuminated as if it were daytime.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going.
The vendors' calls rose and fell, mingling with the sounds of customers haggling over prices.
This created a unique symphony of the night market.
Lin Yang only glanced at it before understanding the reason for all of this.
Just then, the voices of Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang could be heard from not far away.
Lin Yang looked up and saw Hu Bayi leading Wang Pangzi toward him.
Fatty Wang held a skewer of fresh roasted mutton in his hand, praising it as he ate:
"Boss, try this. This mutton is really delicious. It's fatty but not greasy, and lean but not dry."
Lin Yang couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Wang Pangzi wolf down his food: "You can eat it, don't choke."
Hu Bayi looked at Fatty Wang with a helpless expression and offered some words of advice:
"Fatty, I advise you to eat less!"
"We don't know the situation here yet."
Fatty Wang, however, didn't seem to care, patting his belly and saying:
"What's there to be afraid of? I've been eating dried meat every day for a long time now, and I can't stand it anymore."
"We finally found such delicious mutton, how could we miss it?"
After saying that, he continued to eat heartily.
Hu Bayi wanted to say something, but Lin Yang stopped him:
"Let him eat it, it won't make him sick."
Hu Bayi shook his head helplessly and stopped talking.
Fatty Wang laughed and said, "See, the boss is still the most understanding one."
Hu Bayi was speechless.
Lin Yang looked around and frowned, asking, "Have you noticed anything?"
Hu Bayi stroked his chin and pondered:
"Not at the moment, this seems to be a night market."
"The entire Jingjue Ancient City was bustling with people."
As far as his eyes could see, the stalls were dazzling with all kinds of antiques, jade, silk and other goods.
Fatty Wang, on the other hand, looked excited, still holding half a skewer of roasted lamb in his hand, his mouth dripping with oil as he said:
"I think the Queen of Jingjue must have known we were coming!"
"I suffered a loss at the hands of the boss last time."
"They were scared, so they brought so many people to entertain us."
After saying that, he laughed smugly.
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi rolled his eyes and shook his head, saying:
"You have quite the imagination; I think you've eaten too much."
Lin Yang chuckled lightly, ignoring Fatty Wang's nonsense, and instead gave the order:
"You two look around, I'll wait for Shirley and the others."
