In addition to the Gathering Spirit Formation, Jiang Chen also set up a protective array and sensing array in the Falling Snow Courtyard. With Jiang Chen's arrangements, the Falling Snow Courtyard had undoubtedly become the most luxurious residence in the capital, originally valued at five hundred million, now worth at least five billion.
As night fell, with a thought from Jiang Chen, the Fire Spirit Stone illuminated the entire Falling Snow Courtyard, making it as bright as day. In the backyard, with artificial hills and flowing water surrounded by lush greenery, the array automatically adjusted the climate, ensuring that the Falling Snow Courtyard enjoyed a spring-like atmosphere year-round. Of course, one could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Falling Snow at any time.
Jiang Chen was strolling in the backyard, noticing some minor flaws in the sensing array when suddenly, Qin Xiaoya and Zeng Xianyi arrived. He could sense their joy and excitement; they must have good news regarding the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings.
With another thought, the gate of the Falling Snow Courtyard opened on its own. A calm and soothing voice from Jiang Chen reached Qin Xiaoya and Zeng Xianyi's ears: "Come in."
As they entered the courtyard, both were astonished. Outside, the lights were just coming on and the stars were shining brightly, but inside the Falling Snow Courtyard, it was bathed in sunlight. It was indeed sunlight—there was a fundamental difference from artificial lighting—and even the atmosphere inside had changed; the air felt like an exquisite brew that intoxicated anyone who inhaled it.
"Mr. Jiang is truly remarkable," Zeng Xianyi remarked as he and Qin Xiaoya walked into the living room. There, Jiang Chen was already seated at a tea table by the window, waiting for them.
"Should I take it that you have good news?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Young Master is truly insightful! Over this past week, Zeng Lao and I searched throughout the capital and finally found a lead on the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings," Qin Xiaoya replied eagerly before quickly shifting her tone. "However, the owner of the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings is somewhat difficult to deal with. I asked Zeng Lao to step in; he tried to hint at some information about the rings, but that person insisted he had never seen them."
"Oh? Even Zeng Lao's reputation doesn't help?" Jiang Chen chuckled. Given Zeng Xianyi's status in the capital, it was unlikely anyone would dare to disrespect him. "Come, sit down and tell me everything."
Qin Xiaoya and Zeng Xianyi took their seats and recounted all the details of their investigation to Jiang Chen. Finding information about the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings was quite covert and required considerable effort. Not only had Qin Xiaoya spent time on it; even Jiang Chen had planned to dedicate six months or even a year to this task. However, unexpectedly, Qin Xiaoya had stumbled upon good fortune.
Just two days prior, she had handwritten a line of symbols from the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings and went to Capital City University to consult with professors from the archaeology department about what those symbols might mean. The professors there were well-versed in various artifacts and antiques; perhaps they would yield unexpected results.
Qin Xiaoya approached this with a mindset of trying her luck but was surprised when an old professor named Sun Qinghuai at Capital City University recognized the characters on the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings immediately. He stated: "This is an ancient script that predates pictographs. Long ago, someone came to me with this script for deciphering; I studied it for a long time but ultimately couldn't crack it and gave up."
It was Sun Qinghuai's words that provided Qin Xiaoya with a clue. She quickly pressed for more information and was thrilled to learn that after many years, Professor Sun still remembered that person who had sought his help with deciphering the symbols on the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings.
