Gu Qingluan shook her head, unable to fully understand the origin and meaning behind it all.

She refrained from indulging in further speculation and slowly scanned the reliefs.

She had a lingering sense that these carvings held more than just decorative value.

Perhaps they could reveal something crucial.

Su Lie, upon hearing her analysis, joined her in the search.
