Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Lin Chuan let out a light sigh, "Ah... One day, he said he was going to the mountains and told me to wait for him in the village. He also said that after he came back, he would take me south and north to hunt for treasures. However, I waited for Old Pang for a long time, and he never showed up again."

"So, did you learn your techniques from Old Pang?" Qin Sisi asked.

"Yes."

Lin Chuan nodded earnestly, "He also left me a secret manuscript, but my mom found it. She said I was studying unorthodox things and burned it right away."

"What a shame."

Qin Sisi also sighed.

"I need to go to the restroom, excuse me for a moment." Lin Chuan's face showed a touch of apology.

After Lin Chuan left.

Qin Sisi and Shen Qianqian whispered, "Qianqian, was what Lin Chuan just said true?"

"It's true."

Shen Qianqian forced a smile, lying through her teeth.

"Look at you, Qianqian, conniving with Writer Lin to fool me." Qin Sisi pouted her lips, laughing and scolding.

"You knew Lin Chuan was making up stories, and yet you played along with him."

Shen Qianqian retorted.

Qin Sisi laughed, "I couldn't let Lin Chuan perform a monologue all by himself, could I? Since Lin Chuan didn't want to answer, I couldn't force him. But Qianqian, you're close to Lin Chuan. Do you know how he learned these techniques?"

Shen Qianqian shook her head, "I don't know."

After thinking for a bit, Qin Sisi added, "I've heard that only sect heritage passes on these kinds of techniques."

"Lin Chuan is law-abiding, don't make wild guesses."

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips slightly, but ended up defending Lin Chuan.

"Alright, with you, a police comrade, vouching for him, I won't pry any further. However, I did come with a request from the director, wanting to ask if he is interested in joining the Archaeological Team."

Qin Sisi said with a smile, frankly.

Shen Qianqian took a sip of tea and said, "There, he's back now. You can ask him."

At that moment.

Lin Chuan returned to his seat, saying with a smile, "Ask what?"

Qin Sisi lifted her bright eyes to Lin Chuan, her gaze filled with amusement, "Writer Lin, you showed off your skills in front of our director today, and he's quite intrigued. He asked me to see if you'd be interested in joining our Archaeological Team."

"The Archaeological Team, huh?"

Lin Chuan hesitated for a moment, falling into brief thought, then replied, "That's not quite suitable for me. I own an Antique Shop and a Network Security Company. Keeping politics and business separate is necessary to comply with the law."

"That's too bad."

Qin Sisi mentally remarked on the pity.

She had hoped that after Lin Chuan entered the Anling Archaeological Institute, she could recommend him for the National Archaeological Team.

With Lin Chuan's almost magical techniques, his abilities would be maximized in the National Archaeological Team, surely advancing the progress of archaeology.

She might also have the chance to learn Lin Chuan's techniques.

But Lin Chuan had gone into business.

From his words, it seemed he didn't have the same special obsession with the Archaeological Team as she did.

"Sisi, if Anling Archaeological Team encounters any problems, you can still ask Lin Chuan for help." Shen Qianqian chimed in from beside her.

"Qianqian, you forgot, I'm being transferred next week." Qin Sisi pouted.

Shen Qianqian raised her eyebrows in a smile, "That's right. Congratulations on soon becoming a member of the National Archaeological Team."

"The National Archaeological Team, congratulations." Lin Chuan echoed the sentiment.

He was somewhat surprised in his heart; Qin Sisi was about to transfer to the National Archaeological Team. She must be an exceptional talent.

Qin Sisi beamed, "With my current skills, I'm just there to assist and catalog items."

"Soon you'll become an elite of the Archaeological Team. Then I'll have to start calling you Expert Qin." Lin Chuan laughed.

"You're the true expert. If you could give me a couple of tricks, maybe I could really become Expert Qin, ha-ha." Qin Sisi winked at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan took a sip of tea, saying with a smile, "Of course, if you can learn it."

"Really?"

Qin Sisi's eyes brightened.

"Of course." Lin Chuan nodded.

However, Qin Sisi soon felt discouraged, lifting her own right hand, "My index and middle finger are much shorter than yours, and not as firm."

"If the Double Finger Probe won't do, there are still Dragon-Seeking and Positioning and the Art of Soil Sniffing." Lin Chuan encouraged her.

"Dragon-Seeking and Positioning must take a long time to learn, right?" Qin Sisi inquired.

Lin Chuan nodded, "Yes, this requires much traveling, observing, and practice to discern."

"I think I'll be better suited for the Art of Soil Sniffing," Qin Sisi said with a bright smile, showing her white teeth.

"That one is a bit simpler indeed." Lin Chuan replied with a laugh.

Qin Sisi leaned forward, earnestly asking, "How do you practice it exactly?"

"Different periods, forms, and regions of tombs all present different scents in the soil. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the Ancient Tomb to give it a try," Lin Chuan explained with a smile.

Qin Sisi's eyes lit up, and she readily agreed.

She was eager to give it a try.

As she would soon be joining the National Archaeological Team, she was about to head to the Qilu Region to conduct archaeology in the Taiyi Mountain Range. Learning the Art of Soil Sniffing would naturally be very beneficial.

It might just come in handy, right?

Therefore, Qin Sisi inquired further, "Teacher Lin, if there were tombs in the Qilu Region, what kind of smell would they typically have?"

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, "Are you going to do archaeology in the Qilu Region?"

Qin Sisi nodded, "Yes, according to the plan, I'll be there for quite a long time."

Lin Chuan recalled for a moment, then answered, "The Qilu Region indeed has many undiscovered Ancient Tombs. As for the tombs' soil... well."

"What kind?"

Qin Sisi listened attentively, like a diligent student.
