The Museum Director turned his head to look at Xiao Yang beside him. He said gently.

"Xiao Yang, you should also learn from Fang Yang and stop underestimating him."

Both his tone and gaze were filled with encouragement and expectation.

Xiao Yang was stunned after hearing these words; she deeply realized her own mistakes and narrow-mindedness.

She sincerely apologized to the Museum Director; she truly repented and decided to change her prejudices. The Museum Director watched as assistant Xiao Yang lowered her head, her slightly trembling voice full of regret.

"Museum Director, I'm sorry. I truly looked down on Fang Yang before and didn't give him enough respect."

Her voice was somewhat choked, and her eyes became moist.

The Museum Director smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay. Being able to realize your mistake and apologize to me is already very good. We must believe in the potential of young people and give them space to grow and develop."

He gazed affectionately at assistant Xiao Yang, his eyes flashing with expectations for her.

Upon hearing the Museum Director's encouragement and understanding, assistant Xiao Yang was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

She wiped away her tears, calmed her emotions, and said firmly.

"Museum Director, please believe me. I will correct my mistakes and learn from Fang Yang's persistence and determination to protect cultural relics and spread history."

The Museum Director nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, Xiao Yang. Young people need us to give them support and encouragement. You should also learn from Fang Yang and stop underestimating him."

Xiao Yang looked at the Museum Director gratefully, her heart filled with sincere admiration and gratitude.

She knew deeply the mistakes she had made, but now, she had a chance to correct them.

She was determined to learn from Fang Yang and become someone capable of protecting cultural relics and spreading history. Fang Yang and Li Zhou finally returned to the surface from the secret chamber, smiles of satisfaction on their faces.

Just now, they had successfully solved various puzzles and found the exit leading to the underground.

The underground secret chamber was dim and damp, the walls covered in thick moss, and the air was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

"This place is truly ghostly and terrifying."

Li Zhou muttered in a low voice.

Sunlight spilled onto the two of them, illuminating their faces. Fang Yang and Li Zhou slowly walked out of the underground secret chamber and saw Old Yang standing there, waiting for their appearance with a face full of excitement.

He quickly walked to their side, patted Fang Yang on the shoulder, and said excitedly.

"Fang Yang, you are too amazing! I always knew this vegetable garden was extraordinary, but I never expected you to actually solve all the puzzles! You are truly an incredible young man!"

Fang Yang was suddenly drenched in sweat, his clothes already soaked through.

He smiled awkwardly and said.

"Old Yang, you flatter me. Actually, it was also thanks to some luck and wit that we managed to solve the puzzles."

Old Yang looked at him with admiration.

"Don't be modest! I know very well that your performance exceeded my imagination. Your wisdom and courage are admirable. Young people should have such sharpness and confidence."

An awkward look also appeared on Li Zhou's face, but he still nodded politely to express his thanks.

"It was thanks to Fang Yang's guidance and help that we were able to successfully solve the puzzles."

Old Yang patted Fang Yang's shoulder again.

"You two are truly a match made in heaven. I am very fortunate to have met you and to have had the honor of witnessing your victory."

Fang Yang and Li Zhou looked at each other and smiled, knowing in their hearts that Old Yang had not played any substantial role in the action just now.

However, in order to maintain politeness and face, they did not break Old Yang's self-perception.

"Thank you for your praise, Old Yang," Fang Yang smiled.

"We just did our best."

Old Yang nodded with satisfaction.

"Young people, if you need help or have other difficulties in the future, just come to me. I will definitely support you with all my might!" Netizens in front of the screen saw Old Yang's skin was so thick and mocked him one after another.

Some jokingly called Old Yang "the person with the thickest skin in the world."

Others compared him with Fang Yang, mocking him for paling in comparison.

A wave of mockery rose and fell in front of the screen; Fang Yang smiled slightly and said nothing.

He knew well that online comments could not represent the truth, and he did not wish to hurt Old Yang's self-esteem because of the netizens' mockery.

He knew that he had solved the puzzles and successfully completed the task not just by luck and wit, but by years of accumulated experience and energy.

Li Zhou also quietly watched the barrage full of negative comments on the screen.

In such a world full of hypocrisy and comparison, it is already very difficult to find a partner who treats you sincerely and has perfect tacit understanding.

"Fang Yang," Li Zhou suddenly spoke.

"Do you think we are doing the right thing? Should we go and refute those negative comments?"

Fang Yang looked at Li Zhou, smiled, and shook his head.

"We don't need to defend ourselves to anyone. Online comments are just a moment of noise."

"They cannot determine our value and ability. I believe Old Yang thinks the same way."

Li Zhou nodded; he also knew well the superficial falseness of the online world and the reality behind the clamor.

Facing the increasing number of comments on the screen accusing Old Yang of being hypocritical and showy, and belittling his own abilities, Fang Yang and Li Zhou decided to choose silence.

They looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding. Fang Yang smiled slightly after hearing Old Yang's praise.

A smile appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed a hint of indifference.

He neither showed off nor was conceited; he simply accepted Old Yang's praise calmly and did not pay special attention to it.

Li Zhou quietly watched Fang Yang's smiling face, a sense of admiration and awe arising in his heart.

He realized that there were many places where he could learn and grow, and decided to learn from Fang Yang and work harder in future challenges.

"Fang Yang, you are truly amazing," Li Zhou said in a low voice.

Fang Yang turned his head and looked at Li Zhou with a smile.

"Actually, there is nothing particularly amazing about it. It is just the accumulation of experience and skills."

"But you can always handle various situations so calmly."

Li Zhou said with some admiration, "How do you do it?"

Fang Yang shook his head gently.

"There is nothing special about it. Everyone can master skills through learning and hard work. I just applied what I have learned and known into practice."

Hearing this, Li Zhou felt he had benefited a lot. He took a deep breath and made up his mind to study and grow harder. The museum curator finally arrived; he was a tall, middle-aged man with graying hair.

Seeing Fang Yang, he excitedly opened his arms and walked toward him.

His eyes revealed endless joy, as if he had seen a relative he had been separated from for a long time.

"Fang Yang! I finally see you!" the museum curator said excitedly, holding Fang Yang's hand tightly and shaking it happily.

He was all smiles, constantly praising the talent and character Fang Yang had shown in his archaeological work.

Fang Yang was infected by the museum curator's enthusiasm and smiled back.

"You flatter me, this is what I should do. I am just contributing a meager effort to the cause of archaeology."

The museum curator shook his head continuously, saying with full respect.

"Fang Yang, please don't be modest. You have achieved many accomplishments in the field of archaeology and are able to use various techniques and tools to solve difficult problems."

"This is undoubtedly a huge help to our museum cause!"

Fang Yang nodded with a smile; he could feel the museum curator's deep love and dedication to the archaeological cause.

"Museum curator, you are too polite. I have always felt that archaeology is a very important and meaningful job."

"It plays an important role in protecting cultural heritage and inheriting human wisdom. I am honored to be able to contribute my own strength to this cause."

A flash of gratification crossed the museum curator's eyes; he was very satisfied with Fang Yang's answer. The assistant hurriedly walked up and pulled him away from the museum curator's hand.

She apologized to Fang Yang with a look of regret, stating that she should not have belittled and looked down on Fang Yang before.

She explained that she had previously judged Fang Yang purely based on other people's evaluations without truly understanding his ability and value.

The assistant's words made Fang Yang smile slightly; he did not blame the assistant for the misunderstanding.

After all, for a stranger, it is difficult to fully understand another person.

He said gently: "It's okay, I understand you."

His tone revealed tolerance and understanding.
