CHAPTER 1236 LOOKS LIKE A CLOUD

Lu Jing started to become a little excited upon hearing this.

He held onto Jiang Ning's hand as if Jiang Ning had already agreed.

No matter what, Jiang Ning's words had touched him greatly.

Finally, there was someone who was willing to give him a chance to explain himself.

In the school, the directors all shook their heads and said his project was meaningless. They said that it was a waste of money and might even bring harm to the school's reputation.

Lu Jing couldn't stand their attitude, so he tried to find a way to gather some funds and he had put in all his life savings, including mortgaging his own house. He had finally found some clues and had some results.

But in order to research further and discover more, he needed more money.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Lu Jing took a deep breath.

"The project I'm doing is about discovering ancient civilizations. It might not be an ancient civilization of our own country, but a special sort of civilization. Perhaps it existed before but has now completely disappeared!"

"Do you believe in aliens?" asked Lu Jing seriously as he looked at Jiang Ning.

"I'll believe in them if I see them."

"Exactly. Without seeing it, nobody will really believe in them. In the same way, nobody has seen those ancient civilizations, so nobody believes in it. But I'm very certain that these ancient civilizations exist!"

He was just using aliens as an example. Lin Yuzhen got a shock at first and thought that this professor really had crazy ideas.

"Actually, in ancient times, there were many civilizations that existed, but they completely disappeared because of certain reasons." Lu Jing held a finger out. "For example, among the ones that have been proven are Jingjue Kingdom, Loulan Kingdom, Ancient Babylon..."

The moment he started talking about what he was best at, Professor Lu's manner became different. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Jiang Ning didn't become impatient and just listened to him seriously while nodding from time to time. He had heard about these things before. When he was sent on missions, he had to understand and know some of these things at the back of his hand.

He had to know astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, technology... Jiang Ning had to know so much. His martial arts prowess was just one part of it.

"The ancient civilization I'm search for now doesn't have a name at the moment, and until now, I've only been able to find some textual clues."

His results were almost as good as none, and he was afraid that Jiang Ning would reject him on the spot, so he quickly added on, "But! But! These textual clues would definitely lead to discovering more information about this civilization!”

"Professor Lu, no hurry, take your time." Jiang Ning laughed and passed the water that Lin Yuzhen got for the professor and put in front of Lu Jing. "Have a sip and moisten your throat. What is this textual clue you're referring to? Is it a word?"

Lu Jing took one sip and then immediately put the glass aside.

He hurriedly pulled a piece of paper out from his old and tattered bag and unfolded it as he passed it to Jiang Ning. "It's this."

Jiang Ning took it from the professor and looked at it seriously. His eyes immediately narrowed.

The paper only had a simple symbol on it, and it didn't really look anything like a word. But Lu Jing was very serious as he said, "This is a word! I'm very sure!"

Jiang Ning didn't say anything. He studied the symbol very seriously. Or rather, he studied this word very seriously.

This symbol was no stranger to Jiang Ning at all. In fact, he was very familiar with it.

But it never crossed his mind that it could be a word, or even an ancient civilization.

"What's this?" Lin Yuzhen huddled over and looked puzzledly at it. "It looks like a cloud. Are you sure it's a word?"
