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

After watching these people leave, Qiuyue looked at Zhang Shouxu curiously and asked, "Shouxu, who are these people? Are they the disciplinary team you mentioned earlier?"

Zhang Shouxu lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency Linzu, that's not the case. These are the Zhang family's patrol team, responsible for patrolling the restricted area, the outer mountain ranges, and other areas. The punishment team is responsible for punishing those who have made mistakes in the clan. The two are not the same."

Qiuyue suddenly realized and continued to ask, "Are all the people living in the main area of ​​your Zhang family's family area people with Qilin blood?"

"No, sir. There are relatively few people in the clan who possess Qilin blood. The vast majority of those living in the main family area are members of the main family who do not have Qilin blood. A small number are outsiders who are responsible for some of the daily life of the main family area."

Zhang Shouxu couldn't help but look up at the petite figure in front of him and spoke truthfully. Qiuyue became even more curious after hearing this: "So where do people with Qilin blood live now? Do they all live around here?"

"Your Excellency, no. There are only a few adults with Qilin blood left in the clan. Aside from the clan leader, elders, and some retired elders, most of the main family members with Qilin blood are out guarding tombs. Only a few, like me, have joined the punishment team or patrol team to help handle clan affairs."

Qiuyue nodded, and she seemed to have understood almost everything. She replied, "I understand. Let's go back."

"Yes."

Elsewhere, the Zhang family head and a group of elders were shocked to see a member of the family who had lost a limb for over thirty years easily grow a new arm thanks to a precious pearl. Some elders even called it a miracle. The Zhang family head, his eyes sparkling, turned to look at the ghost-faced leader and asked, "Does Lord Linzu have any other instructions?"

"To the clan leader, no, Lord Lin Zu just told us not to rely too much on the pearl, and didn't say much else."

The Ghost-Faced Leader bowed his head and replied. The Zhang Family Head nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then follow Lord Linzu's instructions and send the eight pearls to the treasure pavilion for safekeeping. Keep only one for use first. You will then summon those in the clan who are seriously injured or disabled and have them healed as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The Ghost-faced leader nodded. Just as he was about to stand up, an elderly voice said, "After the main family's people are cured, you can take the pearl to visit your maternal family. This is a gift from Lord Linzu to our Zhang family. Of course, all members of the Zhang family must receive this favor."

The Ghost-Faced Leader was stunned. He subconsciously wanted to shirk this mission because he knew that he would be away for quite some time and if he did so, he would not be able to see that stunning beauty again.

But he suddenly thought of something, his eyes dimmed a little, and he replied in a deep voice: "Yes, I'll go right away."

If you are already unclean, don't even think about blaspheming the gods...

Maybe he can forget it after leaving?

At this moment, the Ghost-faced Leader was actually extremely jealous of Zhang Shouxu.

I have a good life. Although my life is incomplete, I can still get in touch with her.

Zhang Shouxu, who was considered disabled, was actually extremely tormented at the moment. Thinking of what Qiuyue had just said, that Baozhu could cure anything, he couldn't help but want to ask her many times, but he couldn't open his mouth because of his timidity and inferiority. In the end, he swallowed all the words and didn't utter another word.

Don't pollute her ears...

Qiuyue, completely unaware of the torment Zhang Shouxu was in beside her, looked at the bamboo forest for a while before returning to her own bedroom with Xiaoguan and Cotton Pudding. Looking at the elegantly and luxuriously decorated palace, she couldn't help feeling a little bored.

Life in ancient times without mobile phones or computers was actually quite boring. No wonder people in ancient times went to bed so early.

"Shou Xu, go buy some brushes, inkstones, and cinnabar yellow paper later."

Qiuyue called out, and Zhang Shouxu instantly came back to his senses and immediately lowered his head to answer. Qiuyue paused after she finished speaking, and suddenly her face flushed slightly. She waved towards him a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Come closer."

Zhang Shouxu paused, his whole body slightly tense, but he still obediently walked to her side, leaned over and put his ear close. The official holding the cotton pudding looked up at Qiuyue when he saw this. He didn't understand why Qiuyue wanted to whisper to him. Was there something that couldn't be known?

Qiuyue didn't notice the reaction of the official next to her. When Zhang Shouxu leaned over to whisper, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and whispered in his ear, "Shouxu, if possible, please bring me some storybooks, otherwise I'll be very bored."

The voice was soft and gentle, like the whispers of a lover's flirtation, the warm and clear breath sprayed on his ears and neck, the extremely tempting fragrance kept intruding and occupying his sense of smell, and the tattoos appeared on the skin under Zhang Shouxu's clothes almost instantly. His whole body was tense, and his face became more and more expressionless, as cold as an iceberg. If it were not for the last bit of reason supporting him, he would have revealed his ugly appearance long ago.

"Yes, I will obey your orders..."

Zhang Shouxu's voice was extremely hoarse, and the tone he used to respond to her was almost a gentle whisper. His Adam's apple rolled, and he forced himself to breathe so that it didn't appear disordered. He lowered his head and took two steps back before turning around and leaving in a hurry. His steps were quick and a bit awkward, and he looked like he was running away.

Obviously, he has been trying very hard to remind himself to wake up...

Qiuyue, who had no idea how attractive she was, was feeling a bit awkward at the moment. After Zhang Shouxu left, Xiaoguan just held Cotton Pudding and stared at her without saying a word. Three pairs of eyes, one big and two small, stared at her, as if silently accusing her of not bringing them along when she whispered to him. A slight blush crept onto Qiuyue's face, and she said shyly, "Be good, Xiaoguan. Sister just asked Shouxu to go buy some things. There's nothing else to do."

The young official blinked his eyes and looked directly at Qiuyue with a faint look in his eyes. His main strategy was to not move unless the enemy moved. Qiuyue felt a little guilty about being stared at and shifted her eyes. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

So this guy has already learned this skill at such a young age?

Damn it, she really couldn't withstand his move.

The reason why Qiuyue didn't want to tell him was simply because she felt embarrassed, because she felt that she was his sister now, and as a sister, she naturally had to set a good example, but she didn't expect that the official would actually use the trick of staring at her and didn't give her any chance to fool around.

"Hey, little official, be good, why don't you ask me?"

Qiuyue squatted down and spoke softly. If Xiaoguan hadn't been holding Cotton Pudding, she would have wanted to pull his little hand and shake it. Xiaoguan's eyes followed her as she squatted down. He looked at the slight blush on her face and only said two words.

"elder sister."

With a soft call of "sister," Qiuyue was instantly defeated. She raised her hands to cover her face, her ears red with embarrassment, and said in a shy and somewhat spoiled voice, "Hey... okay, okay, I'll tell you, I just asked Shouxu to bring me some storybooks to read, because it would be very boring to do nothing here. Xiaoguan, please don't think that I'm uneducated."

Upon hearing this, the official tilted his head slightly.

"What is the storybook?"

Qiuyue was startled, her hands covering her face lowered slightly, and she looked at him shyly. After realizing that he really didn't understand, she whispered, "It's a book of novels. There are horror stories, romance stories, and all kinds of stories from a Chinese studio. They are mainly for people to read and entertain themselves."

The official nodded and asked softly, "Why doesn't my sister want me to know?"

Qiuyue shifted her gaze guiltily, her fingers unconsciously tapping each other as she whispered, "Because I'm your older sister, I have to be a good role model. You're about to go to school, but I'm here reading novels and storybooks. If I don't set a good example for you, I'll become a bad sister."

The young official was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the reason to be like this, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

These words just showed that she cared about his opinion and she really took him to heart.

"Sister is very good, not a bad sister. If you want to see it, you can see it. It's okay."

The corners of Xiaoguan's mouth lifted up slightly without him realizing it, and the cotton pudding in his arms also started to meow.

"Meow~" That's right, sister is the best!

"Meow~" That's right, sister is the best sister in the world~

Although Qiuyue didn't understand Cotton Pudding's calls, but looking at those two pairs of watery eyes, Qiuyue inexplicably understood that they were also coaxing her. At that moment, Qiuyue felt her heart melt. Her nose was sore, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hands and hugged the cats together in her arms. She rubbed her tender face against Xiaoguan's little face and said with great emotion: "Woo~ Xiaoguan, Cotton Pudding, you are so nice, you are both my good babies, I really like you so much qwqqq~"

The official froze instantly. The faint fragrance and the warm and delicate touch made him dazed. He never expected that his words could cause such a big reaction in the person in front of him, and this also made his heart tremble.

Does she really like him that much?

But he had never seen her before. How could she be so close to him? Could it be that she had met him before he could even remember anything?

The young official, who was only seven or eight years old, had too little knowledge to even think that Qiuyue knew another version of himself. He was just wondering where he had seen Qiuyue before and how he had forgotten her.
