Big Shot's Sweetheart Shocked the World Again!-Chapter 972: Empire’s Honor, Indelible

Under Davis’s feet, at the bottom of the coffin, was a round carpet.

Though old with time, it hadn’t turned to dust but instead remained as vibrant and splendid as new.

However, the pattern of this carpet was warm and exuberant. Both its design and material were obviously... Western in style.

Even someone who wasn’t a historian would, upon seeing this carpet, immediately think: How did a foreign carpet end up in the Imperial Tomb?

It was really eye-catching.

However, with the tomb filled with countless rare treasures and towering bronze Fusang trees along with lifelike Three-legged Golden Crows, all eyes were firmly attracted elsewhere, leaving no one to focus on what lay beneath their feet.

Now that Davis pointed it out, everyone belatedly realized the unusual aspect—

"Oh my, it really is... M country style."

"I just remembered, this carpet pattern is so classic; my wife went to M country for a trip and brought one back for her best friend, saying it would appreciate in value."

"Yeah, I remember the most famous church in the capital, the Holy Heart Church or something, has something this big inside..."

"Could it be that Davis, or whatever the Dean’s name is, was right?"

Despite not wanting to admit it, a seed of doubt grew in everyone’s hearts.

Gu Shiyin saw the situation gradually turning to her advantage and couldn’t help but curve her lips upwards.

Everyone’s gaze was on the carpet, naturally not noticing her expression

behind her.

Yet Yin Hu was intently watching her and had borrowed a bottle of drink from an archaeologist, carefully wiping it clean with a tissue, unscrewing the cap to offer it to her.

He didn’t understand much about archaeology.

But he thought she must be thirsty after debating for so long.

Just as he was about to pass it over, he saw that enigmatic smile appear on Gu Shiyin’s lips.

He shivered inexplicably.

A bit incredulously, he murmured, "Miss Gu, do you really hope... that this tomb is from M country?"

Gu Shiyin turned her head, her smile already gone, and said with a hint of seriousness: "Brother Hu, this is a serious academic issue. It’s not something that can be swayed by whether I wish it or not. In the face of archaeological science, everyone is equal, regardless of race or nationality. I believe that whatever the final evaluation concludes, all the professionals here will face it with a scientific spirit, don’t you think so?"

Yin Hu was momentarily dazed.

Gu Shiyin’s words made a lot of sense, and he found himself without a counterargument.

Besides, the conversation was getting a bit dizzying for him.

He only grasped one point: Miss Gu was such a rational person!

"You, you’re right. It’s all about the scientific spirit, and personal feelings shouldn’t sway it. Here, have some water." He muttered softly and finally handed the water over.

Gu Shiyin then smiled brightly: "Thank you, Brother Hu. You’re so kind."

Yin Hu gently rubbed his hands, nudging his toe against the sole of his shoe.

But why couldn’t he shake off this lingering feeling of wistfulness in his heart?

He was willing to respect science, but deep down, he still hoped that this tomb was a legacy from the Empire’s ancestors, truly.

The honor of the Empire is indelible.

Seeing Davis’s desperate counterattack, astonishingly pointing out such a big Bug, Bai Fei was momentarily stunned but unwilling to admit defeat: 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"This, this thing... fine, even if it’s a carpet from your M country, can’t our ancestors have bought one from the market to pad the coffin bottom?"

Humph, it’s just a lousy foot mat anyway.
