Chen Siyao thought it over. The professors' team still had a few key details left to organize.
If she could spend another day or two coordinating with Zhao Mingyuan, she could compile their existing questions into a list to bring along.
That would give her a clear focus when she observed the site firsthand.
"In three days," she said.
Chen Hao had no objections.
Yang Wanqing's face fell immediately. "Three days? Can't we go tomorrow? Or the day after?"
"No." Chen Siyao glanced at her. "I need to prepare."
"Prepare what?"
"A list of questions. Reference materials. And some equipment."
Yang Wanqing slumped on the sofa, buried her entire face in a cushion, and let out a muffled wail. "Three days is so long..."
Chen Hao had already stood up. He put his teacup in the kitchen sink, went into his room, and shut the door.
Yang Wanqing lifted her head from the cushion, her hair looking like a bird's nest.
"Siyao."
"Hmm?"
"The Thirty-Three Heavens!"
"Mm."
"A place where a cultivation civilization from the Primordial Era once lived!"
"Mm."
"The place where Master faced his heavenly tribulation ten thousand years ago!"
Chen Siyao couldn't help smiling. "I know."
"How can you smile so calmly? Aren't you excited?"
"I am. But I need to get everything ready first."
Yang Wanqing rolled over and stared at the ceiling, swinging her feet over the sofa's armrest.
"I'll start by figuring out what snacks to bring."
"..."
Over the next three days, Chen Siyao took the boat to and from Penglai's Main Island as usual.
Professor Li's team worked through the remaining forty percent of the South Wall's contents. Professor Lin's progress on the East Wall was slightly slower, but the team had reached the core passages of the Jie Sect's early teachings.
