Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1683: Masterpiece of Ingenious Craftsmanship

Xu Ke carefully pressed the red button, and to his surprise, the ground in front of him split open directly, and from the middle, a cabinet slowly rose.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ke was at a loss for words to express his current feelings.

Everything he witnessed today has greatly exceeded his understanding, and he was deeply moved by the profoundness of Chinese civilization in his heart.

Xu Ke has lived for so long, although he has heard about the specialization of Chinese culture in certain aspects. But seeing it with his own eyes today mainly made him admire it greatly.

According to his previous understanding, these mechanical techniques originated as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. At that time, the one who greatly popularized mechanical techniques was a mechanical master named Mozi.

The Mo Sect established by him has had a profound influence on the entire history of China, so much so that mechanical techniques have been passed down throughout China’s 5000-year history.

Xu Ke believes that what he sees in front of him is definitely derived from the Mo Sect’s mechanical techniques.

Moreover, judging by the advancement of these items, it surely evolved over hundreds of years of development.

Xu Ke recalled a post online not long ago that discussed what is worth being proud of in the 5000 years of Chinese history.

Many netizens commented below, sharing the things they felt proudest of.

At the time, Xu Ke didn’t know what to say, but now he knows.

China’s mechanical techniques, in the long river of five thousand years of history, have now become exceptionally brilliant.

Although most people have already forgotten, you cannot deny its critical role in the 5000 years of historical culture.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, his wooden oxen and flowing horses were invented based on mechanical techniques.

Also, the Zhuge Crossbow and a series of items invented by Zhuge Liang are closely related to mechanical techniques.

Xu Ke slowly opened the cabinet in front of him and suddenly found that there was only a small box inside.

After opening the box, there was only a ring inside.

Looking at the ring in front of him, Xu Ke didn’t understand what it was used for.

But he could be sure that this item is definitely very important, otherwise his grandfather wouldn’t have hidden it here.

However, no matter how much Xu Ke looked, he still didn’t know what the ring was for, so he put the ring on his person, intending to ask his grandfather what it’s used for when he gets back.

He came here wanting this item, which he has now obtained, so Xu Ke didn’t linger too long in this place.

He took out his phone and glanced at the time; unknowingly, it was already 12 o’clock.

Today, he practically spent the whole day here. After restoring everything to its original state, Xu Ke left the office.

When Xu Ke came out of the office, he found Murong Hai sitting on the ground, already asleep.

And his two followers were sitting on the table not far away, but both looked listless, seemingly waiting for him.

"Ah Hai, Ah Hai."

Xu Ke gently patted the sleeping Murong Hai on the ground.

Murong Hai, sensing someone calling him, drowsily opened his eyes.

Murong Hai was really exhausted, so he told his followers to watch him while he took a nap.

Recently, Murong Hai has been busy with his wedding with Bai Lan. To prepare for the wedding, he hasn’t had a proper rest for a long time.

After a while, Murong Hai came to his senses. He rubbed his eyes in confusion and staggered to stand up.

"Is it time to leave yet?"

Seeing Murong Hai like this, Xu Ke knew he was too tired.

"Yes, yes, let’s hurry home now. Tomorrow you’ll have a day off, and you can rest well at home."

Xu Ke didn’t know what this guy had been busy with lately, how he got himself so tired?

But it was thanks to them today that things went so smoothly, and Xu Ke was genuinely grateful to Murong Hai.

This path down was much easier than the way up; in no time, they arrived downstairs from the 25th floor.

Murong Hai and his followers returned to their respective places, while Xu Ke directly returned to the Xu Family.

It was already late at night; everyone in the Xu Family had long been asleep.

Xu Ke tiptoed inside; he didn’t turn on the lights, afraid to wake up Xiao Keyi.

Slowly, Xu Ke climbed onto the bed in the darkness and fell asleep drowsily.

When he woke up the next morning, Xu Ke was surprised to find that his clothes had been removed at some point.

But upon seeing Xiao Keyi beside him, he understood.

It must have been that girl who saw him come back in the middle of the night and took off his clothes.

Coincidentally, those clothes needed washing; Xu Ke had planned to change into fresh ones this morning.

At this moment, Xiao Keyi also woke up drowsily, and upon seeing Xu Ke beside her, she greeted him with a bright smile.

Last night, when sleeping, Xiao Keyi suddenly felt someone beside her and was startled.

But when she realized it was Xu Ke, she wasn’t worried anymore.

After helping the man take off his clothes, Xiao Keyi held him and slept through the night.

This was a moment when Xiao Keyi felt happiest; during this period, Xu Ke almost never came home.

And every time he came home, he rushed off without time to say a few more words.

Xiao Keyi knew Xu Ke was always busy with work, but it still made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It’s not like you haven’t seen me before. Seeing your silly looks, someone might think we haven’t seen each other in ages." Xu Ke said with a laugh.

"Do you even remember how long it’s been since we last saw each other? I’ve always assumed you were too busy working to the point of forgetting you have a girlfriend."

After hearing Xiao Keyi’s complaint, Xu Ke seemed to recall some things.

He seemed to have hardly come home, nor called Xiao Keyi often.

In other words, the two hadn’t communicated for quite a while.

Xu Ke then realized he just said the wrong thing, that he was pushing himself into a fire pit.

"Keyi, I’m really sorry for the past period. The company has been extremely busy, and I haven’t rested for a long time."

Though he said that, Xu Ke still felt very guilty inside.

As his girlfriend, Xiao Keyi found herself having to cope with Xu Ke’s constant work commitments, with little time left for her.

He now regretted why he brought Xiao Keyi over in the first place.

Xiao Keyi had a good enough life at his home; he brought her here, only to leave her alone, enduring solitude.

Also, due to work being excessively hectic, Xu Ke didn’t have Xiao Keyi go to the company.

Because she didn’t understand those things, Xu Ke feared having Xiao Keyi there would just add to his troubles.
