99: Chapter 99 Ye Xiao: I am a model young man of impeccable character and integrity.

For a moment, the Seminar Hall was filled with noise.

At that time, no one noticed that when Professor Zhou mentioned the three words "astronomy book", Ye Xiao froze slightly.

His expression changed quietly.

At this moment, all the doubts in Ye Xiao's mind vanished.

It was all because of the three words "astronomy book" that made Ye Xiao understand everything completely.

In a daze, Ye Xiao looked back at the large screen in the center, his eyes filled with intense shock.

"I understand! I understand..."

Ye Xiao couldn't help but murmur.

Professor Zhou, who was closest to Ye Xiao, heard this and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Xiao in confusion.

"Understand? Understand what?"

Ye Xiao did not answer; he immediately gathered all the interpretations of this stone tablet on the conference table and examined them carefully.

A moment later, Ye Xiao raised his head, his gaze flickering.

Professor Zhou sensed something amiss; his breathing became heavy, and he looked at Ye Xiao somewhat nervously.

"Xiao Ye, did you discover something?"

Only then did Ye Xiao slowly raise his head and say with slight excitement:

"This corpse... is Liu Ji, Liu Bowen!"

As he spoke, Ye Xiao lowered his head again, looking at the messy papers on the conference table, which contained annotations on the content of the stone tablet.

His words couldn't help but make the many experts present pause in surprise.

"Liu Bowen? Which corpse?"

Professor Zhou, who had been slightly confused, reacted immediately and cast his gaze toward the eerie white bones locked by chains!

Immediately, Professor Zhou turned his head in utter shock and asked Ye Xiao:

"Xiao Ye, are you saying that the one locked by these chains... is actually Liu Bowen's corpse?"

The other experts present also cast their gazes over immediately!

Ye Xiao nodded excitedly and said:

"That's right! This is Liu Bowen!"

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhou's brows furrowed even deeper.

The rest of the experts immediately broke into an uproar, discussing it among themselves in the Seminar Hall.

"That can't be right! We discovered Liu Bowen's tomb long ago; how could he be here?"

"Exactly, Liu Bowen's tomb was discovered in Wencheng County long ago and is a nationally protected cultural relic!"

"That's right! You can't just say things like that!"

...

The experts present were discussing it heatedly, while Professor Zhou was lost in thought.

He did not know why Ye Xiao would say that the one trapped by the chains was Liu Bowen's corpse.

However, Liu Bowen's tomb had been recorded in historical documents.

And they had indeed discovered it.

Therefore, they remained somewhat skeptical about Ye Xiao's claim that this corpse was Liu Bowen's.

Professor Zhou looked at Ye Xiao and asked somewhat puzzledly:

"But Liu Bowen's tomb has already been discovered in Wencheng County! Why would it appear here?"

Ye Xiao immediately said decisively:

"That tomb is, of course, fake! How could Liu Bowen's tomb be so easily discovered?"

Upon hearing this, the audience in the Live Stream Room immediately exploded, and everyone began to discuss it heatedly.

"What? Fake? Damn, I even visited it last month!"

"Since Ye Dao says it's fake, then I think there's a 90% chance it is fake!"

"Wait a minute! Ye Dao is so certain, and he looks so excited... Could he have been to Liu Bowen's tomb?"

"Damn! You've spotted the key point! It seems that really is possible!"

"No way, is Ye Dao really a master Tomb Raider? He's even been to Liu Bowen's tomb, that's just too awesome! Could Ye Dao have also been to the Wuhou Tomb?"

...

For a time, the entire Live Stream Room's audience was frantically spreading rumors that Ye Xiao had entered Liu Bowen's tomb, which is why he could be so certain.

Bingbing was also very "considerate" and opened the Live Stream Room screen at the right time.

In an instant, the entire large central screen was completely flooded by a surging wave of bullet comments.

Seeing these bullet comments, the experts present couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then they all looked at Ye Xiao with strange expressions.

Having entered Liu Bowen's tomb and the Wuhou Tomb was no small matter.

Both are not only provincial protected scenic spots, but these two tombs are also nationally protected cultural relics.

If one had robbed these two tombs, it definitely wouldn't be as simple as just a few years or decades in prison!

They might even get a free bullet to eat.

Ye Xiao naturally knew the consequences, so he immediately denied it in a hurry:

"Everyone, don't talk nonsense! How could I have entered Liu Bowen's tomb? I haven't entered the Wuhou Tomb either! Besides, both of these tombs are fake, why would I go in..."

As he spoke, Ye Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong.

He looked again, and the experts on the scene were looking at him even more strangely.

Immediately, Ye Xiao's gaze faltered, and he hurriedly waved his hands:

"Oh! What are you saying! Whether they are real or fake has nothing to do with me, I'm not a Tomb Raider!"

At this time, the audience in the Live Stream Room was already laughing like crazy.

Immediately, the entire Live Stream Room was filled with countless bullet comments, setting off wave after wave of surges.

"Hahaha! Amazing! Ye Dao just confessed without being asked!"

"Quick! Record that video clip, this is evidence! Precious evidence!"

"Ye Dao's 'no silver buried here' act is hilarious, isn't it? Hahahaha!"

"I'm dying of laughter, if you want entertainment value, you have to look at Ye Dao! It's just amazing! Someone actually admitting to tomb raiding themselves!"

"Laughing like crazy! He's even been to the Wuhou Tomb, has he opened the coffins, which is why he knows these two tombs are fake?"

...

For a time, the entire Live Stream Room was like boiling water, extremely heated.

Meanwhile, the experts present had already started discussing it.

"I said it, when I entered the Wuhou Tomb back then, the coffins inside all had traces of being pried open!"

"How hateful! I still remember the robber hole next to Liu Bowen's tomb!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! This Xiao Ye's identity is truly not simple! To think he has even been to these two tombs!"

"Young people these days are getting bolder and bolder!"

...

Hearing these words, Ye Xiao's forehead was sweating more and more, he didn't know why.

Professor Zhou, who was by his side, looked at Ye Xiao and asked, pretending not to know:

"Xiao Ye, what's wrong? Why is there so much sweat on your forehead?"

Ye Xiao came back to his senses, took the papers handed over by Professor Zhou, and said hurriedly:

"Oh, it must be because the weather is a bit hot, a bit hot..."

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhou nodded slightly and said, as if nonchalantly:

"I thought so, I thought you had really been to these two tombs and were nervous?"

Finally, Professor Zhou looked at Ye Xiao again and asked deliberately:

"You shouldn't be nervous, right?"

Ye Xiao almost stumbled; he hurriedly steadied himself against the table and waved his hands repeatedly:

"Oh! How could that be? I am so politically upstanding, completely a fine, five-good youth of the new era, how could I do such a thing!"

"I'm not nervous at all, look! I'm not nervous at all!"
