Immediately, Jasper grabbed her wrist and pulled her over. Willow’s face was pale from the shock, and she looked
at the pit beneath her. Soon, she noticed something unusual. “Wait, this pit doesn’t seem natural, it looks man-
made.”
After all, how could a perfectly round pit form on this deserted island? Thus, she crouched down and studied the pit,
taking photos from various angles with the camera and using a ruler to measure it. As Jasper watched her work, his
eyes were filled with adoration.
“Hand me a shovel.” She reached her hand toward him. “I’ll do it. Where do you want me to dig?” “No, I just want
to see the soil underneath,” Willow explained. Jasper handed the shovel to her. Then, Willow crouched down and
scooped up a spoonful of soil. After examining it from side to side, she concluded, “There should be an ancient
tomb nearby.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Why is that so?” Willow put down the shovel and walked several feet away, separating the high grass. When she
lowered her head, she knew she had guessed it right. There was a pair of symmetrically. matching circular pits,
likely where the tombstones were once placed. However, the wooden structures had disappeared, leaving behind
two stone pits excavated long ago.
Realizing this, Willow turned toward Jasper and said excitedly, “My mentor once said that this is a form of ancient
tomb burial. When people were away from home and couldn’t provide proper burial conditions, they would create
two simple tombstones to show respect for the dead. Someone with a high status must be buried here, perhaps a
prominent official or a noble. We may have discovered something!”
As she spoke, she hugged Jasper. At the same time, Jasper extended his arms and embraced her. After Willow
laughed while being in his embrace for a few seconds, she blushed and said awkwardly, “I… I got too excited. Could
you put me down?”
When she was a child, she would lunge herself into her father’s and brother’s embrace whenever she got excited.
Jasper frowned and stared at her, asking, “Do you always jump into a man’s arms when you’re excited?” He
wondered if she would’ve done the same if he weren’t the one standing here right now.
Willow giggled and replied, “Not always! It’s just that when I was little, I would always ask my dad and brother for
hugs. Apart from them, you’re the third person.” Hearing her words, Jasper huffed and said, “There will be a fourth
person, then.”
Willow was startled and asked, ‘Are you jealous?” Jasper was dumbfounded and quickly looked the other way. “No!”
His voice was slightly hoarse. Willow smiled and patted his shoulder. “It’s fine. I promise I won’t ever hug another
man.”
Jasper glanced at her without saying a word. To comfort him, Willow crossed her fingers and swore, “I swear.” A
hint of amusement appeared at the corner of Jasper’s lips, but he managed to suppress his laughter. He held her
hand and said, ‘Don’t make promises so easily next time.”
Seeing that he finally smiled, Willow was happy as well. Then, she said, “Let’s split up and search nearby. The
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmancient tomb might be around here somewhere.” Just as she was about to walk away, Jasper grabbed her hand.
‘No. Let’s search together.”
“Okay!” Willow smiled. The area was full of scattered rocks, making it challenging to find a tomb that could be over
two thousand years old. However, Willow forced herself to be patient and continued searching. After two hours of
searching, she felt disappointed because she found no traces of the tomb..
“Did I make a mistake? It’s all because of my lack of experience. How could I misjudge something like this?” Willow
said exasperatedly. After all, she was still young and had entered this field at twenty-three years old. Just as she
thought she had learned something, reality gave her a heavy blow.
“Don’t be disheartened. Luck plays a significant role in your field of expertise. Perhaps your judgment isn’t wrong at
all,” Jasper comforted her as he sat beside her.
