Chapter 1236 Looks Like a Cloud
Lu Jing started to be 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 exin 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
nowpletely 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 theypletely
disappeared because of certain reasons." Lu Jing held a finger out. "For example, among the ones
that have been proven are Jingjue Kingdom, Lon Kingdom, Ancient Babylon..."
The moment he started talking about what he was best at, Professor Lu''s manner became different.
Jiang Ning didn''t be 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 Ningughed 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 ss 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?"
