"Dad, Brother Yueming, the tea is ready; what were you all talking about? Why has the conversation suddenly stopped?" Luk Yu placed the brewed tea on the table and then turned around, looking at us with a puzzled expression.
"Oh, nothing much, just telling your Brother Yueming about something he hasn't seen before," Luk Yu's father replied, before standing up and gesturing for me to sit down and have some tea.
I stroked my chin, sat down by the table, and took a sip from the cup. Do I really have to join my uncle in becoming a Tomb Robber? No, I could just go and touch nothing; consider it a sightseeing trip. My goal is to help my uncle through his ordeal, yes, that's the plan.
"Yueming, what's on your mind? You seem so absorbed."
"Ah… nothing, I'm just thinking about what I need to prepare." When I heard my uncle ask me, I blurted it out without thinking, momentarily forgetting Luk Yu was there.
