Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

Qiuyue didn't ask him to stay. After he left, Qiuyue said to Xiaoguan, "Okay, Xiaoguan, sit down and eat. Be good, cotton pudding. I'll give you two a small bowl. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll give you more."

"Ah."

"Mi~"

"Meow~"

In fact, the food that Zhang Shouxu sent included cat food specially made for Cotton Pudding. However, when the two bowls of cat food were brought to them, the two kittens raised their paws neatly to cover their noses, twisted their bodies, and directly left their butts to Zhang Shouxu. This is why Qiuyue asked them to find a dish they wanted to eat, because they didn't want to eat the cat food that looked a bit bad.

Let's look at the other foods. Should we say that they are worthy of the Zhang family during its most prosperous period? These dishes alone are incredibly exquisite. Qiuyue always feels that such dishes can only appear on the emperor's table. They are really too luxurious. The plates on which they are served would at least be treasures that belong in a museum if they were brought to modern times, not to mention the food that looks extremely complicated to prepare and cannot be named.

Qiuyue originally thought that the food in ancient times was not as delicious as the modern food, but surprisingly, these meals were very delicious. Although there were not as many seasonings as in later generations to enhance the taste, the freshness and flavor of many ingredients themselves were stimulated, which was very different from what we eat in modern times. It can be said that each one has its own taste. Qiuyue couldn't even help but eat some more, and she even ate the cotton pudding until her belly was round. It seemed that she also liked these delicacies very much.

"Little official, why don't you eat a little more? You eat too little."

Qiuyue looked at the little official who had only eaten a little and didn't eat much, and couldn't help but frown. The little official was slightly startled, lowered his eyes and said: "I'm full."

"But you only ate a little. That's not good. You're too skinny. You need to eat more to gain some weight."

Qiuyue couldn't help but think of his frail state when she healed him earlier. She frowned and disapproved of his actions. She picked up a pair of unused chopsticks and started to serve him some food. "Little official, be good and eat more. You're really too thin. I hope you can gain some weight and be healthy."

Xiaoguan was stunned for a moment. He looked at the increasing amount of food in his bowl, and then at Qiuyue's eyes full of concern and tenderness, and fell silent.

She really cared about him, but why?

Had he really known her before?

But he really didn't have any impression at all.

Ah Ling...

Is that the name?

Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks, Qiuyue thought he didn't want to eat, and she couldn't help but feel a headache. Her voice became softer and she coaxed him, "Be good, little official, eat more, okay? We have to have a healthy body, otherwise how are you going to see your mother in the future, right?"

Qiuyue's words obviously touched him. The official nodded softly and then picked up the chopsticks and started eating again. Seeing this, Qiuyue immediately smiled.

"I know Xiaoguan is the best~"

Qiuyue put down the chopsticks in her hand and couldn't help but raised her hand to gently stroke his face. Xiaoguan's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly paused, but it was only for a moment. Soon he continued to eat, allowing the delicate hand to stroke him.

Really, very gentle and warm.

When Xiaoguan put down his chopsticks again, Qiuyue guessed that he was really full this time, so she didn't let him eat any more. At this time, Zhang Shouxu came back to clean up the dishes. Qiuyue knew that this was his job, so she let him clean up.

After lunch, Qiuyue began to feel sleepy as usual. It was already night at Zhang Haike's place before she came here, and it was time for her to go to bed. Qiuyue yawned twice in a row, but she didn't plan to sleep. She was afraid that Xiaoguan would be scared here alone with the two cats.

The official looked at the person who was yawning repeatedly and had tears in her eyes, and whispered, "Ah, Ah Ling... Sister... If you are tired, go to sleep..."

Qiuyue's eyelids had already begun to droop, but the sound of "Sister A Ling" instantly woke her up. With her eyes shining, she looked at him in surprise and said, "Ah, Xiaoguan, what did you call me?!"

Xiaoguan pursed his lips and said nothing, but Qiuyue refused to let him go. She came directly to him and squatted, holding his little hands with both hands and shaking them, her voice sounding like she was acting like a spoiled child: "Xiaoguan, be good, call me again~"

If Qiuyue still remembered that she had called Hailou "brother" before, she would definitely understand why Hailou liked her to call him brother at that time. They were both happy in the same way.

Zhang Shouxu did not leave after cleaning up the dishes. He asked a child outside to take the lunch box away and then came back. However, he did not expect to see this scene as soon as he came back, and his pupils trembled slightly.

This, this, this, how could Lin Zu be so humble?! And this last generation of Qi Ling, how dare he be so presumptuous?!

The official did not notice Zhang Shouxu's return. He turned his head slightly to avoid Qiuyue's gaze, and his ears were slightly red. He couldn't understand why she, the ancestor of Qilin, would act so coquettishly towards him, without any arrogance as a Qilin.

Cotton and Pudding squatted in a row and watched. They were so envious of this scene.

If only they hadn't turned into kittens, then the Fairy Sister wouldn't always ignore them.

Qiuyue instantly became excited when she saw Xiaoguan's red ears. She was right! At this time, Xiaoguan was not as cold and indifferent as he would be when he grew up. He still had a lot of emotions, but they were not obvious!

The experiences and lack of love in his childhood made him isolate himself and protect himself step by step since he was a child. This is why he became so isolated from the world after growing up. It doesn’t matter. She came and gave him the happiness and love he lacked in his childhood!!!

"Oh, our little official is the best, can you please call me again, call me again~"

Qiuyue was very happy with her eyebrows bent. She let go of Xiaoguan's hands and hugged him instead. The warm and soft embrace came again. Xiaoguan suddenly froze all over and could not bear it anymore. He whispered: "Ah, Sister Aling..."

Another call of "Sister Aling" made Qiuyue extremely happy. She couldn't help but lean over and kissed him twice on the face. Then, in the shocked eyes of Xiaoguan, Cotton Pudding and Zhang Shouxu, she stood up and said contentedly, "I'm happy. I'm going to take a nap. Xiaoguan, remember to call me if you need anything~"

The official responded blankly, and was still a little unaware of what was happening when he saw Qiuyue go into the hall and sleep. The soft touch fell on his face twice, and his heart trembled twice in a row, which made him even more confused.

Is she so special only to him?

Or will he do the same to other children?

Qiuyue didn't know that she had made the official a little confused. When she looked at the rather exquisite wooden bed, she couldn't help but sigh that one day she would be able to sleep on an antique. Then she changed her gorgeous clothes and hair crown into comfortable pajamas, took off her shoes and went to bed.

Lack of sleep did not allow Qiuyue to sleep through the night. She woke up at three o'clock as usual and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling of the bed in a daze. When her memories before sleeping came back to her, she remembered where she was. She quickly got up and changed into a casual Tang suit, then walked out of the bedroom.

"Little official? Cotton pudding?"

Qiuyue called out as soon as she came out, but all she got in response was two milky meows. Just as Qiuyue was startled, Zhang Shouxu, who had been guarding the corner, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Master Linzu, the last Qiling is meeting the three great instructors outside."

Qiuyue finally felt relieved after hearing that. She bent down and picked up the cotton and pudding at her feet, and walked quickly out of the hall. Zhang Shouxu followed closely behind. When Qiuyue saw that the young official was indeed talking to the three old men, she did not get any closer. After all, maybe the three teachers were testing the young official, so she decided not to disturb them for the time being.

What surprised Qiuyue was that a huge martial arts training area had been built on the site that was originally just an empty lot. There were only some wooden scaffoldings on it during lunch, but now it was all completed. Qiuyue couldn't help but sigh that the hands-on ability of these more than 40 children was so strong. A child of eight or nine years old could do the work of several adults. They were really worthy of being members of the Zhang family.

When Qiuyue came out, the junior official and the three senior instructors noticed her. They were all stunned when they saw her, and then they knelt down to greet her. Qiuyue was distracted, but when she saw this, she quickly said, "No need to be so polite, three instructors. I just came out to take a look. Please stand up."

"Thank you, Lord Linzu."

The three instructors shouted in unison, then stood up respectfully with their heads bowed. Qiuyue, realizing she had disturbed them, walked over to the young official and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"In reply to Lord Linzu, we are talking to this last Qi Ling to learn about the knowledge and heritage of the Zhang family during the last generation."

One of the senior instructors bowed in response, and Qiuyue asked curiously, "So how did the talk go?"

"Your Excellency, the knowledge this last Qi Ling received was too little, so we can't understand too much. However, it is clear that many inheritances have been broken, and even the most basic martial arts techniques have not been passed down."

The head teacher was clearly expressing regret when he said this, clearly heartbroken by the loss of these inheritances. Qiuyue then said, "It's okay. You can copy all of these inheritances for me. When I return, I'll send them to the Zhang family so they can resume their studies."

As soon as these words came out, the three senior instructors were instantly delighted and almost knelt down to kowtow again: "Thank you so much, Master Lin Zu. It is truly a blessing for the Zhang family to have you."

Qiuyue waved her hands. She said this only to appease the three great teachers. The gifts would only be sent to her family's Zhang family. As for the modern Zhang family? Impossible. She had no good feelings towards the modern Zhang family, let alone sending these good things to them.
