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

"Zhang Zhenxian, how dare you, child? If Lord Linzu wasn't so tolerant, calling me sister would be enough to cost our Zhang family their lives!"

After Qiuyue left, the head instructor, who had torn off a few strands of his beard, suddenly lost his smile. He turned and glared at the child who had first called her "sister," angrily scolding him. Zhang Zhenxian, who was named, was not at all frightened. He said, "Sister Qilin looks like a very kind person. She wouldn't be as vicious as you say. You are really too old. You can't even see clearly!"

"I think you deserve a beating again!"

The head instructor sneered and pulled out a thick ruler from his belt, which looked like it could hurt someone. Zhang Zhenxian immediately shrank his head and slipped away in a flash: "Ah, I just remembered that there are some things I haven't moved over yet. I'll go get them now."

"Don't run away if you dare!"

The head instructor was holding a ruler and laughing angrily at the back. The two head instructors next to him were laughing. After seeing this scene, some of the other children curled their lips in disdain, some rolled their eyes, and many couldn't help laughing. If Qiuyue saw this scene, she would definitely be very surprised.

The Zhang family at this time was not as old-fashioned and strict as the modern Zhang family. Zhang Zhenxian, a junior, actually dared to talk back to the head instructor!

But it is normal. At that time, the Zhang family was at its most prosperous. Their every move and gesture showed the demeanor of a great family (although it was a family of tomb robbers). The family was large and populous. With so many children of the new generation, there would naturally be many Qilin sons with Qilin blood. Otherwise, there would not be a situation where all the more than 40 boys were Qilin sons, not to mention a group of girls.

The Zhang family in later generations tended to be pedantic and old-fashioned. In modern times, there were not many ancient martial arts left except for the Fa Qiu Finger Bone Reduction Technique and some miscellaneous martial arts. However, the elders of the Zhang family still required their children to follow the old standards. This also led to a large number of new generations of the Zhang family dying in the wild as soon as they were released into the wild, because their martial arts skills did not meet the requirements. Over the years, more and more members of the Zhang family died in the wild due to lack of martial arts. In the end, only less than two hundred people were left. This led to the older generation becoming more extreme and the younger generation becoming more fearful and desperate. Coupled with the secret instigation of the Wang family, all of this created the lifeless Zhang family.

Qiuyue didn't know what happened next. She walked back holding Cotton Pudding in one hand and Xiaoguan in the other. She said softly as she walked, "Xiaoguan, were there too many people just now and you didn't like it? Or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? If you have anything, just tell me. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Hearing this, Xiaoguan suddenly stopped and looked up at her. Qiuyue looked back at him, her eyes full of tenderness and encouragement. Xiaoguan pursed his lips and whispered, "Will you always be here?"

Qiuyue was stunned. She seemed to remember someone asking her the same question before, but how did she respond?

She seemed to say she would stay after she replied, but she broke her promise in the end.

Thinking of this, Qiuyue sighed softly, turned around, squatted down, looked him in the eye, and said softly, "Little official, I can't give you an accurate answer to this question, but I promise that as long as I remember, as long as you remember, I will come to you, okay?"

This kind of answer actually made people feel full sincerity and seriousness. Although the official didn't understand what the last two sentences meant, he still nodded.

"it is good."

Seeing how well behaved he was, Qiuyue immediately wanted to hug him and give him a big kiss again. At this time, Cotton Pudding, who had been behaving well and not making any noise, suddenly began to hum.

"Miwu~"

"Mee~~"

Qiuyue lowered her head and looked at the two kittens in her arms. Her heart softened. She smiled and said, "What's wrong, Cotton Pudding? Are you hungry?"

"Mee~" No, no~

"Meow~" Sister, you can't leave us behind~

"Meow~" Yes, yes, sister, you have to remember us too, don't leave us out~

"Meow~~" My sister clearly picked up ours first, how come it was snatched away by this person? Humph!

The two little guys meowed back and forth, but Qiuyue couldn't understand what they were saying, so she rubbed each cat's head and said, "I guess they are really hungry. Kittens at this time need to eat small meals frequently."

At this point, Qiuyue turned around and looked at Zhang Shouxu, who was standing a little further back, and said, "Shouxu, please go get some more food, like dried fish or something, for the cotton pudding as a snack."

"Yes."

Zhang Shouxu nodded and lowered his brows in response, then turned around and jumped onto the bamboo forest and disappeared, then obediently went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Seeing that Qiuyue didn't understand what they said, the cotton puddings immediately wilted. They really wanted to talk to the Fairy Sister.

They are obviously human beings, why did they turn into cats?

"Ah, Sister Aling..."

Xiaoguan called out softly, and Qiuyue's eyes suddenly lit up. She turned around and looked at him and said, "Hey, Xiaoguan, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Qiuyue was filled with joy and smiles when he just called her "Sister Aling", I felt a little secretly happy for no reason.

Actually, he is still special, right?

She was so happy when he called her, and he was the only one who knew the name A Ling.

Cotton Pudding: Meow meow meow? What about us?

"elder sister……"

Xiaoguan called out again, this time omitting the word "A-Ling" and opting for a more intimate name. He also looked at the two kittens in Qiuyue's arms and said, "They may not want to be held."

Cotton Pudding:??? Who said that!!!

Qiuyue was slightly startled, then she thought of something and nodded, "That makes sense. I might feel uncomfortable holding them all the time."

After saying that, Qiuyue let go of them and placed them on the ground, saying, "Cats like to be free. I almost forgot. Fortunately, you reminded me, little official."

"Meow~" No way!

"Meow~" Bad boy, it's not that we don't like being hugged by our sister!

"Meow~" Sister, don't listen to him! We want a hug~

"Meow~" Sister's hug is the most fragrant, we love it the most!!

As soon as Qiuyue put them down, Cotton Pudding started to cry out while raising its little paws, wanting Qiuyue to hold them again. Qiuyue touched their little heads and said with a smile, "Be good, sister will pay attention next time. Shouxu will be here with some snacks soon, and I promise not to let you go hungry."

Speak of the devil, and here he appears. As soon as Qiuyue finished speaking, Zhang Shouxu came with a basket of things. In addition to the dried fish that Qiuyue mentioned for the cotton pudding, there was also a bunch of fruits and cakes that looked like they were for Qiuyue. The basket was full, and Qiuyue was stunned.

"Master Lin Zu, I have the dried fish you requested. The rest is specially brought to you by the kitchen."

Zhang Shouxu spoke softly while holding the basket. Qiuyue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she saw those exquisite pastries, she couldn't help but agreed.

After all, it looks really delicious!

In fact, it tasted really delicious. Qiuyue was sitting in the pavilion in the bamboo forest outside her palace, eating the sweet and delicious cakes happily. The small official sitting next to her was also given a piece of cake. Cotton Pudding, who was not hungry at first, was holding a small dried fish and chewing it with a very fragrant sound. It was obvious that he was conquered by the delicious dried fish. Zhang Shouxu was standing by and making tea for Qiuyue, trying his best to prevent Lord Linzu from choking on some cakes.

The perfect afternoon sunlight shines through the dense bamboo forest and falls sporadically on the ground. A breeze of suitable temperature blows through the bamboo forest, and the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind is accompanied by the occasional chirping of birds. The crisp and refreshing sound of brewing tea makes people feel particularly comfortable. Qiuyue looks at the bamboo forest with her beautiful eyes bent, with a gentle smile on her face. It can be seen that she likes this peaceful time very much, but she doesn't know that she is more beautiful than any scenery in the eyes of others.

Zhang Shouxu gently put down the teapot in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at the gorgeous person in front of him, his eyes were somewhat deep.

How could there be such a gentle and beautiful creature?

He should be the mighty Qilin that is out of reach and high above, but why is he so kind and amiable?

It's really easy to make people have delusions...

Suddenly, Zhang Shouxu seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of timidity and depression flashed in his eyes.

He doesn't deserve it.

"Hmm...this tea is so bitter."

Qiuyue originally wanted to drink a cup of tea to counteract the sweetness of the pastries, but was suddenly struck by the bitterness of the tea. After eating the sweet pastries, the slightly astringent tea became extremely bitter. Qiuyue felt as if the tea was hitting her in the mouth, and it was so bitter that she wanted to cry.

Qiuyue's soft murmur made Zhang Shouxu's heart tighten. He quickly poured a cup of warm water, knelt on one knee beside Qiuyue and handed it to her, whispering, "This is my fault. I hope Master Linzu will not be angry. I will replace this tea with sweet floral tea later."

Qiuyue was startled by his kneeling, and she didn't expect that he could hear her mumbling so quietly. She quickly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's because I rarely drink tea. It's not your problem. Get up quickly."

Qiuyue reached out to take the cup of warm water while speaking, and at the same time grabbed his arm to make him stand up. Zhang Shouxu trembled all over almost instantly. Although he still had soft armor on his arm, the small white hand seemed to have really touched his arm.

This was the first time she touched him, even through something.
