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

"Speaking of which, can I learn any of these martial arts?"

What Qiuyue is most concerned about now is Xiaoguan. After all, in her impression, people in ancient times started learning martial arts from a very young age. Xiaoguan is now eight or nine years old, and she doesn't know if it is too late.

"Of course, this last Qi Ling's talent is one in a million. We have only seen one or two so far, and that was a hundred or two hundred years ago. Although the Zhang family is in its final years, having such a Qi Ling is a blessing in disguise."

Hearing this, Qiuyue couldn't help feeling sad and angry.

Small officials are naturally the best, but the Zhang family does not deserve such a good small official!

"That's good. From now on, I'll leave my studies to the three of you. I hope you can take good care of him."

Qiuyue looked at the young official beside her, holding the cotton pudding in one hand while gently stroking his head and whispering softly. The young official paused, then lowered his head and let her stroke it. The three senior instructors said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Master Linzu, we will do our best to teach him." "Yes, even if it's not for the future of the Zhang family, we will definitely not let such a talented child waste his talent." "Don't worry, Master Linzu, we will train him to be the strongest spirit in history."

Hearing their promise, Qiuyue nodded. However, even if they did not say this, Qiuyue believed that they would do their best to teach Xiaoguan. After all, even if it was for the future of the Zhang family, even if Xiaoguan was not talented enough, they would definitely do their best to teach him.

Just as Qiuyue was about to say something, a team of uniform footsteps sounded from far to near. Qiuyue subconsciously looked over and saw that the more than 40 children from before were carrying tables and a pile of things and rushing over quickly. When the children saw Qiuyue, their eyes lit up and they ran even faster.

"It's Lord Linzu!"

"Lord Linzu has come out!"

"Master Linzu is so beautiful."

"Shhhhh, don't be disrespectful to Lord Linzu!"

Qiuyue didn't hear their whispers. Looking at the delicate and handsome little faces, she couldn't help but think of the men in her family. They had also become this small before, and they looked as handsome as them. She just didn't know if these children would be as well-behaved as them.

When the head instructors saw Qiuyue looking at these children, they introduced them, "Master Linzu, these children are the most outstanding Lin children in the clan in recent generations, and they are also the students that the three of us are most proud of."

Qiuyue was a little surprised when she heard this and asked, "How many generations?"

"Yes, Master Linzu, there are four generations in total among this group of children, and according to the generation name, they are arranged in the order of "Shouzhen Wudao" (guarding the town and making it unlawful)."

Qiuyue was startled by the instructor's words, but she quickly reacted.

Yes, the Zhang family has a long lifespan. Ordinary people can have four or five generations living under the same roof, let alone the Zhang family. She had heard before that in some villages, two or three-year-old children were their grandfathers' generation. It was not surprising that the Zhang family had four generations of children of the same age.

"Guarding the town without justice, is there one of these four characters in their names?"

Qiuyue couldn't help but think of Zhang Shouxu. There was a word "Shou" in his name. As for the group of men in her family, except for some outsiders who were introduced into the Zhang family, most of them had the words "Shan" and "Hai" in their names, that is, the "Shan" and "Hai" veins. Looking back at the four words "Shou Zhen Wu Dao", it seems that they are all from the same lineage.

"Yes, their names all contain one of these four characters. You can tell which generation they are by looking at their names. From now on, they will go to school here together with this last generation of Qi Ling. If any of them make mistakes and make you angry in the future, you can deal with them directly and don't worry about us."

Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, then said: "It's okay, as long as it's not too wrong, I won't be angry."

Zhang Shouxu, standing behind Qiuyue, was silent. His mind was full of the patriarch's words. He thought, what if one of these children wanted to disrespect you in the future? Wouldn't you be angry?

"Thank you for your generosity."

The head instructor spoke gratefully, and at this time the group of children had already come over. After they arrived at the open space, they put down the things in their hands and looked ready to kneel down to pay their respects. Qiuyue quickly said, "No need to kneel. I don't need so much formality here."

The children were stunned for a moment, and the head teacher said, "Master Linzu has shown mercy, why don't you thank him quickly?"

As soon as the teacher said this, the children immediately bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Master Linzu, for your kindness."

Qiuyue couldn't help but freeze again. She was really numb. Couldn't this world be nicer to her as a single person? It always made her face such terrifying scenes.

"No need to be polite."

Qiuyue tried to relax herself, and replied while stroking the little Cotton Pudding kitten's head in her arms. She looked at these children of similar age and found that they were all taller than their age. Compared with Xiaoguan, they were at least a head taller. One of them even looked to be 1.8 meters tall, comparable to the height of an adult. Qiuyue felt even more distressed and sad.

This damn modern Zhang family doesn’t even let me eat properly. Look, I feel a few years younger than other children of the same age!

Just as Qiuyue was still complaining about the modern Zhang family, the head instructor asked, "Master Linzu, is there anything wrong with these children?"

Qiuyue came back to her senses and said subconsciously: "Oh, I saw that these children have grown quite tall. They look to be around teens."

"My Lord, they are only about eight years old now, and the oldest is only twelve. It's just that the tribe has enough food to eat, and their bodies have grown strong due to their martial arts training."

Hearing this, Qiuyue sighed: "It's great that these children are well raised by your Zhang family, hey..."

Qiuyue's sigh made the three head instructors and Zhang Shouxu all shudder. The head instructor hurriedly asked, "Why is Master Linzu sighing?"

Originally, Qiuyue hadn't planned to talk about the future. After all, it wouldn't help them if he told them. But when he asked, Qiuyue couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you notice that your last Qi Ling is very thin?"

When Xiaoguan heard Qiuyue was talking about him, he couldn't help but look up at her. The others were also stunned for a moment. They looked at Xiaoguan according to Qiuyue's words, and then they found that he was indeed much shorter than the other children here.

"Let me be frank. The reason your Zhang family is in its final years is because there's a powerful enemy hiding in the shadows, attacking the Zhang family. Zhang Qiling, the generation before me, died outside because of the civil strife caused by this enemy. This is also the reason many inheritances were cut off. The Zhang family patriarch was unable to pass on his power according to the established procedures, and many of his secrets were buried outside."

Qiuyue sighed again and continued, "After losing their patriarch, the Zhang family fell into even more intense internal strife. They simply didn't have the energy to raise their children well. There were even children with Qilin blood who were captured and bled to expel parasites. No one collected the bodies of the dead children. Don't underestimate me, my humble servant, because I'm actually despised by all the Zhang family members. He became the patriarch because he went to retrieve the patriarch's token that was left outside. That's why the elders pushed him to be the patriarch. But they didn't tell him anything at all. They didn't even tell me that becoming the patriarch would mean death..."

Qiuyue's voice trembled slightly when she said this. She couldn't help but feel heartbroken every time she thought of everything Zhang Qiling had suffered in his childhood. Her words shocked everyone present, whether it was the three adults, the instructors and Zhang Shouxu, or the more than 40 children standing there respectfully. They were all shocked by the information in these words, and the minor official who had personally experienced some of it was also a little shocked.

Before he came here, he had experienced bloodletting to drive out parasites in the ruins of the ancient city of Sizhou. After he returned to the Zhang family, he had a fever because he had let too much blood. When he opened his eyes, he was already in Qiuyue's arms.

The official lowered his eyes and thought quickly about Qiuyue's words.

What was said before about the patriarch dying outside because of civil strife was indeed true, and the patriarch's keepsake was lost outside was also true, and the place where it was lost was exactly in the ancient city of Sizhou. He knew all this from the conversation among the adults when he was being bled. As for what she said about him taking back the patriarch's keepsake, he did not do it, and the things that happened later never happened at all, but from her tone, it seemed that these were all true, not made up by her. Could it be that the things that happened later happened in his future?

If this happened in his future, then it would all be understandable.

Qiuyue didn't know that the young official, who was only eight or nine years old, had already torn apart all her words. She was trying hard to suppress her sadness, but she couldn't help but flash a tear at the corner of her eye. The three senior instructors opposite saw this scene and couldn't help but take a breath in their hearts.

This Lord Linzu loves the last generation of Qi Ling even more than they imagined.

It seems that even if the last generation of the Zhang family is in ruins, with the love of Lord Linzu, the Zhang family will not be destroyed.

------Dividing line------

Children of the fourth generation, you call me grandpa and I call you brother, hahahaha.

Some of these children may be relatives, but you don’t have to remember them. I probably won’t go into details anyway.

Can you guess who Yueyue would catch in ancient times?

Those of you in the group who already know the answer, please don’t miss it!

Shhh!!
