Xia Chujian watched quietly for a while before taking the silk manuscript from Small Nine Xiang's hands. "This is a treasure I found on this trip."
"Don't you dare damage it!"
Small Nine Xiang, Xiao Gouzi Sixi, and Xiao Huangji A Chou all looked at her eagerly. They wanted to crowd closer, but were a little afraid to, because Xia Chujian looked extremely serious.
They were not used to seeing Xia Chujian like this.

The moment she put it away, Xiao Gouzi Sixi barked twice.
