"Master Li, it appears there are Oracle Bone Scripts inscribed on the cauldron. May I come down to assist you?" Both Luo Feng and Master Li found themselves entranced by the sight of the Nine Zhou Ding.
Chen Gang, positioned on the edge of the pit, leaned in with a broad grin. His demeanor was that of a groveling sycophant.
"Keep your distance, young man. Stay where you are comfortable. This is the Nine Zhou Ding. If you were to touch it and cause damage, what would be our course of action?" Master Li admonished him directly.
Startled by the rebuke, Chen Gang beat a hasty retreat. Subsequently, much laughter erupted from the staff surrounding them.
So, Chen Gang too had his day of humiliation? Had he not always been rather braggadocios? He used to insist on not participating unless he was the one handling the original artifacts for Oracle Bone Script translations.
