Seeing the shock on their faces, Qiuyue calmly told them the shocking news: "The last generation of your Zhang family will be 1,200 years from now. There's still quite a long time to go. There's no need to be so surprised."

Hearing this, the Zhang family members felt a little better, but not much better, because in their opinion, their Zhang family will surely prosper forever, and the word "last generation" will never appear in the Zhang family's names!

Qiuyue didn't give them much time to think before she said, "In the last generation, most of your Zhang family's heritage was lost. I brought him here because I wanted him to continue this heritage and give your Zhang family a new lease on life."

Everyone who was originally worried about how the Zhang family would end up with a descendant was instantly overwhelmed by this surprise and almost burst out laughing. The Zhang family leader immediately kowtowed three times to Qiuyue and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Ancestor Lin, for your grace!!"

When he kowtowed, the many elders behind him and the first black-clothed masked men surrounding him also kowtowed three times and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Lin Zu, for your grace!"

At this moment, they were even more resolute in their decision to enshrine the Qilin. Hadn't they seen the Zhang family approaching its end, and the ancestor Qilin had come personally to help prolong their lives?! They had made the right decision!!!

Qiuyue, unaware that she had deepened the Zhang family's fanatical reverence for Qilin, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, I'm glad you know. Lead the way."

"Yes!"

The Zhang family head quickly stood up, and the elders behind him also stood up and made way. Qiuyue turned around and looked at the young official, and said softly, "Let's go, young official."

The little official, who was holding the always well-behaved Cotton Pudding, nodded, and followed Qiuyue to the Zhang family's land under the leadership of the Zhang family head. The others waited for Qiuyue to set off before following behind with their heads bowed and respectfully.

Qiuyue originally thought that the Zhang family's land would be a village in the deep mountains and old forests, but when she saw the city that was as prosperous as the capital, and heard the head of the Zhang family introduce that this was the entire main family land of the Zhang family, her pupils trembled.

Was the Zhang family so powerful during the Tang Dynasty?!

The main family's residence alone has a city, so what about the other family's residence? This is a small country, right?!

When Qiuyue was shocked, all the Zhang family members in the city were stunned. They stood there blankly and stared at her. Some of them even couldn't help but raise their hands to rub their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating.

However, when the head of the Zhang family, who was walking one step behind Qiuyue, signaled them to kneel down quickly, they finally realized that this was true.

A living, real Qilin! It arrived in the Zhang family's territory!

Qiuyue only heard a series of kneeling sounds, and her whole body froze involuntarily.

Oh my God, she is a socially anxious person, but she is almost being trained into a person.

Qiuyue walked forward without looking around, trying hard to ignore the kneeling Zhang family members. But before she could calm down, she heard a milky voice exclaiming, "Wow, Qilin!"

As soon as the shout was heard, the expressions of all the Zhang family members changed drastically. Qiuyue looked over subconsciously and saw several children who were only three or four years old, four or five years old, standing there with their heads tilted to look at her, while the eight or nine-year-old children who were about the same age as Xiaoguan were trying hard to cover their mouths, trying to block their voices, but the children were too agile and kept dodging. If they covered one, they couldn't cover the other. Until they saw Qiuyue looking over, the older children immediately knelt down and even wanted to pull the younger ones to kneel down together.

Just when the head of the Zhang family was about to kneel down again in panic, he heard a very pleasant chuckle, which made him stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but look up at Qiuyue, but found that she looked at those children with a very gentle gaze.

Qiuyue was amused by the scene where the older child couldn't cover the younger one. She couldn't help but sigh, "How cute."

The Zhang family leader's eyes instantly lit up at the sound of these four light words, but he didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he said, "Ancestor Lin, the main hall of the Zhang family is in front."

Qiuyue was attracted by his voice and turned to look at the palace-like building in front of her. Although she already knew that the Zhang family might be at its most powerful at this time, she was still shocked by what she saw.

This is really outrageous.

In other words, why can't we see this city in the present world?

Is it because it was destroyed?

Or is it buried in some unknown place?

After the head of the Zhang family brought Qiuyue and Xiaoguan into the main house, the Zhang family members who had been kneeling stood up one after another. They talked about it in shock, but they were very well-behaved and did not ask questions everywhere, because they knew that the head of the family and the elders would announce this matter sooner or later.

Here, Qiuyue politely declined the main hall introduced by the head of the Zhang family and chose a more secluded and elegant side hall. There was a bamboo forest and a small hot spring here, which she liked very much.

Of course, she didn't want the servants that the patriarch mentioned. She only wanted a small guard to be responsible for delivering things, running errands and leading the way. Apart from that, she didn't need anything else.

"Please rest assured, Lin Zu, I will carefully select this servant, and the clothes and food you requested will be delivered soon."

The Zhang family head spoke respectfully, and Qiuyue nodded slightly. Then she looked at the little official beside her and asked softly, "Little official, if there is anything else you want, just tell me and I'll have them send it over."

The young official held the two cats and shook his head. The clothes and food that Qiuyue mentioned were enough, and he didn't need anything else.

Seeing this, Qiuyue was not surprised. She said to the Zhang family head, "That's it. As for your future teachings to me, do you have any ideas?"

Hearing Qiuyue's question, the Zhang family head immediately replied, "Ancestor Lin, the Zhang family currently has a total of 158 instructors. Among them, the top three are the head instructors. One is responsible for the martial arts training of the clan members, one is responsible for teaching foreigners written language, and one is responsible for imparting the knowledge inherited by the Zhang family. I will ask these three instructors to teach him, but..."

"but what?"

Qiuyue looked at Zhang Qiling, the Tang Dynasty man, and asked him in a leisurely tone. The Zhang family head lowered his eyes and said, "But these three instructors are now teaching other children in the clan. So I want to ask Lin Zu, do you want him to go to the clan school or invite the three instructors to teach him here? But if you want to invite the three instructors to teach him, can you also let those children who are already studying come and study together?"

Qiuyue understood what he meant and didn't find it offensive. After all, it was the other children who were attending school first. Once Xiaoguan arrived, three teachers would have to come over to teach them. What would happen to the children who were there before? She certainly couldn't just ignore them. However, she didn't respond immediately. Instead, she asked Xiaoguan again, "Xiaoguan, do you want to go to the academy or study here?"

The official glanced at the Zhang family head, then looked at Qiuyue and said, "Here."

Qiuyue nodded slightly and said, "Then let's study here. This hall has quite a lot of space, so it's no problem to set up a primary school. There's also plenty of open space outside, so we can build a place for practicing martial arts."

Qiuyue just finished speaking when she remembered something and asked the Zhang family head again: "How many children are the three teachers teaching? Is there enough space here?"

Upon hearing this expected response, the Zhang family head immediately lowered his head. He tried hard to suppress his joy and smile and answered truthfully, "Ancestor Lin, there are more than forty children in total. As for the location of the school, it can be placed in the other side hall next door. Although there are many vacancies here, the children can still be very noisy when they get noisy. Please don't let them disturb your peace."

Qiuyue was slightly stunned.

There are more than forty children, which is only a dozen more than the group of people in the Northeast Archives back then.

Just as Qiuyue was still thinking that there were just a few more children than last time, the Zhang family head thought Qiuyue was hesitant because there were too many people, and hurriedly said, "Ancestor Lin, the youngest of those children is about the same age as him. They are all the best children in the family. They are all sensible and will not disturb you."

Qiuyue came back to her senses and didn't explain that she didn't mind having too many children. She just said calmly, "That's it, you go and make the arrangements."

"Yes, I will take my leave and will not disturb you, Master Lin, in your quiet cultivation."

The Zhang family patriarch kowtowed respectfully once more before rising to leave. As soon as he left, Qiuyue's reserved demeanor instantly dropped. She turned to look at the official beside her and said with a soft smile, "Official, are you frightened?"

The official was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head: "No."

"It's fine if you don't."

Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up at her surroundings, took out a soundproofing sheet and threw it in the air. Now she didn't have to worry about anyone hearing their conversation.

However, Qiuyue was too suspicious. The head of the Zhang family and the elders did not dare to send anyone to monitor or spy. If it were the emperor, they would really do it, but Qilin and the others did not dare to do it at all. After all, no one knew what magical methods a Qilin could have, not to mention that Qiuyue was the ancestor Qilin. If she was angered, if a divine beast was angered, the entire Zhang family might be destroyed.

If it were any other family, they might be brave enough to monitor a Qilin, but as members of the Zhang family, they had seen countless strange things and strange tricks, and they spontaneously believed that Qiuyue, the ancestor of the Qilin, had extraordinary means.

Qiuyue: Huh? Me? Am I that amazing?
