"Renovations like this are probably not common anymore, right?"
Feng Yuan hesitated for a mont before stepping onto the elevated wooden floor with his shoes. According to the traditional architecture habits of Jin Sha City, there’s actually a storage area dug half a ter deep underneath.
Of course, this storage area can’t really hold anything because in winter they would place heating stones down here. As for this hall in front of him, Feng Yuan wasn’t sure if they would do the sa.
"Actually, it’s quite popular. This new style of antique-style renovation is pretty popular in our Jin Sha City. The architectural society spent several years developing a unified standard, and even now, many restaurants on New Street are decorated in this style.
Of course, this kind of design is mainly popular here in Jin Sha City; other cities aren’t particularly fond of this style since the lighting isn’t very good."
Xu Yaxuan smiled and turned to Feng Yuan, saying,
"But honestly, I really like this style of renovation. At least, growing up, my house was similar. It’s not so much the style that I like but more the nostalgia for those carefree childhood days. In terms of convenience, the new style of Jin Sha Wind is far superior to the old traditional styles we had."
"It’s quite nice, at least it’s a distinctive feature of your Jin Sha City. Unlike Maomu City, even though so traditions have been preserved, the city doesn’t have many unique characteristics."
Feng Yuan glanced at the nu, saying,
"Can we order now?"
"Of course you can. Yaxuan, is he your friend?"
"No! He’s from the archaeological team. He wanted to find local specialties, so I brought him here. Aunt i, aren’t you welcoming guests?"
As Aunt i spoke, Xu Yaxuan’s face reddened. She was aware that if she didn’t explain clearly, Aunt i might tease her about it, but she had nothing with Feng Yuan!
"Archaeological team? Young man, are you from the archaeological team?"
Aunt i sized up Feng Yuan suspiciously. He seed about the sa age as Xu Yaxuan. Are people in the archaeological team really this young? She didn’t dare assert her judgnt on his age; after all, those fresh graduates often looked like Feng Yuan.
But the lazy deanor of Feng Yuan made it difficult for her to identify his role; he seed both like a student and a recent graduate.
"Um, strictly speaking, I’m more of an unofficial core mber. That place is rather tricky, though other areas might not be problematic except for the Rock Peak Treasury, which is sowhat dangerous. But when exploring Hu’er Marshes, they might need around to avoid any accidents."
Feng Yuan pondered this, not worried about unintentionally leaking confidential info. These whispers would benefit Jin Sha City’s economic recovery, and he believed the city officials wouldn’t trouble him over it. As for increased defensive pressure?
The Rock Peak Treasury was basically excavated, and as for city ruins, there’s no need to ntion those, since they are immovable things like murals. The officials only need to guard the entrances and exits of the Rock Peak Treasury.
If anyone uses Space Ultimate Techniques to bypass the Treasury’s defense and sneak in? Sorry, if soone achieves that, not only Divine Beasts but Great Xia and Federation would definitely be interested, given that the Treasury from the Mythical Era’s powerful nation must possess strong defenses in space.
Back then, if Feng Yuan wasn’t inside the Treasury, and if his own strength wasn’t far beyond Kastantos’s limits, he likely couldn’t have infiltrated the core area.
Therefore, anyone capable of breaching the Treasury’s defenses would surely earn keen attention, because accomplishnts like that aren’t ordinary.
Eagle Canyon on the other hand had no issues. Even less so for Hu’er Marsh; even if illegal organizations tried to invade, they’d likely never return, so stopping them serves to protect Jin Sha City’s safety.
Even Feng Yuan couldn’t be sure if their actions could provoke retaliation from the mysterious dragon shadow of Hu’er Marsh, which Jin Sha City couldn’t withstand unless he was there.
Regarding the need for secrecy? Sorry, as it stands, those who should know already do, while others, despite knowing secrets lie in Hu’er Marsh, can’t even breach Great Xia’s line of defense, naturally leading to no effect.
Casually explaining so details about Eagle Canyon, Feng Yuan specifically ntioned Hu’er Marsh, not that he intended anything, but rather to warn against reckless actions.
Just joking, Hu’er Marsh’s mysterious dragon shadow puzzled even Feng Yuan, let alone allowing ordinary folk to interact with it.
"I didn’t expect there to be so much involved and you’re not fooling , are you?"
Xu Yaxuan said thoughtfully, looking suspiciously at Feng Yuan. This sounded rather dangerous, and was Hu’er Marsh indeed lurking with such a huge crisis?
Aunt i had a knowing expression, saying,
"He’s likely not lying, because there are untouchable ruins in the Marsh, and the mysterious dragon shadow has been sighted. However, I recall it helped the squad kill those spies, indicating no hostility towards us."
"Killed spies? Why was this not reported to the archaeological team?"
Feng Yuan was montarily stunned and surprised, questioning. Despite unclear relations between the mysterious dragon shadow and the ruins vault, they should be aware that the archaeological team was investigating Hu’er Marsh, which special events should be reported to them.
"I don’t know. I’m not official personnel; I don’t know how they handled it."
Aunt i shrugged, while Xu Yaxuan contemplated and said,
"Aunt i, was that squad part of the early defense team after the nation’s founding?"
"Yes, I only heard from your Uncle Wei; I didn’t expect the dragon shadow to have such origins—your Uncle Wei was quite lucky."
Aunt i smiled contently, prompting Feng Yuan’s suspicions. He rubbed his chin, saying,
"So perhaps, this data wasn’t filed officially. Unexpectedly, I obtained vital intelligence while leisurely strolling around; that Uncle Wei will have headaches during this period."
Feng Yuan’s smile turned mischievous; the matter unfiled ans the archaeological team would definitely call in for detailed clarifications—no cursory understanding would suffice.
Apologies, that’s impossible, as the mysterious dragon shadow significantly threatens Jin Sha City’s safety, aning they can’t ignore it. Such crucial clues would receive focused attention until contact can be made, and only through analyzing its movents would they gauge its temperant.
With its behavior, it likely harbors goodwill toward Jin Sha City, forcing extra caution on their part.
Of course, these aren’t Feng Yuan’s concerns. After asking Aunt i for Uncle Wei’s contact information, he reported this to the archaeological team leader—they can handle whatever follows.
"You seem rather upbeat?"
Xu Yaxuan curiously remarked upon Feng Yuan’s mood. She was unclear on why he seed this way, and with a playful grin, he retorted,
"Certainly! At least this information spares from always being here. And apart from Hu’er Marsh and Eagle Canyon, is there anywhere else interesting in Jin Sha City?"
"You sound as if you’re Great Xia’s protector or sothing, but locally, not leaving Jin Sha City, there’s Perpetual Spring to the south, though barely developed and tourist experience probably lacking. As for downtown, it’s typical; aside from specialty shops, everywhere’s similar to your city."
"Are you saying you’re not planning to stay with the archaeological team? You’re making it hard for them?"
Xu Yaxuan sternly asked, and sowhat helplessly Feng Yuan responded,
"They’re slowly clearing ruins now, so there’s no use in staying there; they won’t ddle with either."
