Chapter 1178: No Gentlemanly Manners

Chiang Xiao hadn't felt anything amiss, but Meng Xinian's face had already turned cold.

"Student Cai, your job is archaeological research. The safety of the ancient tomb and the qualification review of those who enter and exit are within my scope of work. I hope you don't overstep," he said.

Hearing what he said, Chiang Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh.

Although she had also discerned Student Cai's implication, she didn't take this barely veiled challenge to heart at all. In contrast, Meng Xinian couldn't tolerate it in the least, instantly giving a merciless retort.

She found Meng Xinian's protectiveness very heartwarming. In his eyes, anyone who was impolite to Chiang Xiao, whether a man or a woman, wouldn't receive a shred of courtesy.

Gentlemanly grace?

Sorry, none.
