Chapter 1873: Isn't this Mr. Zhang's assistant? Forget that identity!

Wu Xie waved his hand. In fact, Fatty's reaction at this moment was exactly what he wanted; it could be considered a way to throw a smoke bomb at the other side.

Perhaps if the other side saw such things happening within their own cognition, they would even think that the First Archaeological Team might not be of one mind.

They might even think that certain previous events were entirely false, performed for everyone to see. As long as the other side could use such a perception to think about the subsequent problems, it would be beneficial for what Wu Xie needed to do next.

Seeing this scene, Wu Ya also nodded secretly, thinking to herself that this was what they called "unintentionally planting a willow." Sometimes, this kind of subconscious reaction is the best way to deceive the other side.

And with Fatty's reaction, no one could see any element of acting, nor could they see any deviation!

After all, Fatty himself did not know what the situation was inside, including the words Wu Ya had whispered in Wu Xie's ear earlier; Fatty was completely unaware of them.

With this premise, Fatty naturally performed better than anyone else. When the Celestial Master heard the word "cooperation," he merely opened his eyes slowly, swept a glance at Su Nan, and then closed them again.

Perhaps the Celestial Master did not care about these matters; the situation inside the Cloud Top Palace was what he was most concerned about.

Furthermore, the First Archaeological Team's next task was to explore the Cloud Top Palace, as well as those puzzles they had not yet uncovered in Wang Canghai's previous underground laboratory.

This included the things contained within that wooden statue. The Cloud Top Palace could not truly be in the sky. When the Second Archaeological Team reached King Lu Shang's Minglou before, it served as a reminder to everyone that it was just a form.

Building such a Cloud Top Palace atop a so-called mountain peak meant that this Cloud Top Palace must be standing in a desperate location, which also allowed everyone to find a target they could rely on in advance.

With this premise, their path ahead became clearer. Even if they finished resting tonight and synchronized with Zhang Lin at some point tomorrow, their path would be easier to walk than before.

However, Wu Xie still had a second plan at this time, which was the matter of the other side proposing cooperation. Wu Xie himself still wanted to make use of the other side; otherwise, if it were just talk without any practical effect, wouldn't Wu Xie feel he had wasted his effort?

Therefore, the Wu Xie of now certainly held other thoughts, and Wu Ya had no objections to the subtext Wu Xie was conveying.

The key was that she also hoped Wu Xie would do this. If Wu Xie hadn't pushed things to this situation, Wu Ya might have overstepped her bounds again, stepping forward to replace Wu Xie and continue the conversation.

However, unless it was absolutely necessary, Wu Ya still did not want to do that. After all, he was the leader of the First Archaeological Team, and since she had come here as the spokesperson for Mr. Zhang, she had to maintain the posture of a guest.

In fact, Wu Ya understood that even if she really brought up those situations, Wu Xie might not care. But in the final analysis, this matter lay in the fact that she could not do everything to that extent.

Additionally, she could not attract too much attention. If everyone's attention were drawn to her, then what Wu Ya wanted to do later would not go so smoothly. Moreover, Wu Ya now understood that her appearance under the live broadcast lens had already brought a different feeling to everyone.

They might see Wu Xie and Su Nan discussing subsequent issues now and not notice her, but soon the bullet comments should be discussing Wu Ya.

Sure enough, just as Fatty sat up in surprise, Wu Ya was right there beside him. Through her profile, everyone was stunned at first, because anyone who wasn't blind could directly see Wu Ya's identity, and the bullet comments were filled with astonishment.

【Isn't this Mr. Zhang's assistant? What's going on?】

【Mr. Zhang's assistant ran to the First Archaeological Team's camp; there's something going on here!】

【Just you guys understand, stop pretending to be smart!】

【There are really too many self-righteous people; I really look down on such people!】

【I guess Mr. Zhang used some connections to let this Wu Ya join the First Archaeological Team, right?】

【Stop talking nonsense, connections aren't certain; even if Mr. Zhang sent her directly, Wu Xie wouldn't say anything.】

【You guys say Mr. Zhang sent Wu Ya, is it because he has plans for what's coming later?】

【Stop guessing blindly, keep silent, what if the master behind the Wang family sees it!】

【No problem, unify the narrative now, stop discussing Wu Ya's matter.】

A consensus was quickly reached in the bullet comments, which forced those who wanted to pick faults to shut their mouths. In fact, the reality was just like this.

Wu Ya had made such an inference based on the subsequent events, but there was no particularly good way to handle this matter for now.

She could only let this matter continue to develop, and many subsequent things followed the original rhythm.

At first, Wu Ya also wanted to ask Zhang Lin if she needed to disguise herself; even if she didn't use the Disguise Art, covering her face would be good. But the answer Zhang Lin gave her was negative. Through the message conveyed subtly, Wu Ya confirmed this point, so she stopped worrying about it.

Because Zhang Lin's words were an absolute command to her. Since there was an absolute command, for her, everything was within the scope of execution.

So Wu Ya simply faced all this with her own identity. In fact, Zhang Lin had another reason for doing this: if Wu Ya could hide her identity, it would be of some benefit to Zhang Lin himself.

This was also true for the archaeological team as a whole. However, overexposing this assistant would further downplay Lou Wan's identity; this was Zhang Lin's other goal.

Once Lou Wan's identity was further downplayed and Wu Ya's identity was further solidified, the two complementing each other would also make subsequent matters easier to handle. Zhang Lin could not just focus on immediate interests.

Crucially, he also had to look at many subsequent situations. When dealing with these situations, the method Zhang Lin chose was certainly different from others; this was the thought Zhang Lin held at the moment.

Looking back at the First Archaeological Team at this time, just as Fatty was about to hurry over, Wu Xie stopped him directly and gave him a look.

Su Nan was hugging her arms at this time with a smile on her lips. In her view, she had just taken advantage of the situation and, under those circumstances, had already said everything.
