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

After watching Xiaoguan finally enter the classroom, Qiuyue turned to Zhang Shouxu, who had been standing behind her, and asked, "Will it be time for lunch when the next get out of class is over?"

Zhang Shouxu nodded. "Yes, in the morning there are two cultural classes. One is about the various knowledge passed down by the Zhang family, and the other is about learning some cultures outside the clan, so that they will not be too detached from the world when they go out in the future. In the afternoon there will be martial arts training."

Qiuyue understood. She asked, "Do children in your Zhang family have to go out into the wild when they turn fifteen?"

Zhang Shouxu was stunned for a moment, then realized Qiuyue was referring to the rules of the last generation of the Zhang family. He said, "Your Excellency, I don't know the circumstances of the last generation of the Zhang family being released into the wild, but children here have to walk the path of adulthood arranged by the clan when they turn fifteen. Once they have walked that path, it means that the child has learned and grown up, and no longer needs to be taught or trained. Although the path is dangerous, any child who is serious about martial arts can pass it. If they fail to pass it three times, the child will be exiled to another family. However, this situation has not yet occurred. Almost all children in the clan can pass that path on their first try."

Qiuyue immediately remembered the modern Zhang family's release of wild animals. The modern Zhang family's release of wild animals meant that the fifteen-year-old children were allowed to go out to rob tombs and hunt. They would only be considered to have passed this level after they had obtained valuable treasures and returned to the clan. This was different from the current situation of the Zhang family in the Tang Dynasty, but the age was still fifteen.

In ancient times, children were considered adults at the age of fifteen. Because they practiced martial arts, their fighting power was much stronger than that of modern people. The elders in the clan would set a path for the children to pass, which was equivalent to a final exam. The modern Zhang family is much more cruel. As soon as the children turn fifteen, they are released into the wild, regardless of whether these children have enough fighting power or whether they are safe outside. They will live or die, and they don’t care about the process at all, only the result. This has led to the death of more and more children in the Zhang family.

In fact, Qiuyue suspected that the modern Zhang family's release into the wild was a new version of the adult level. The old version was like the path set by the elders of the clan in the Tang Dynasty, but someone didn't know what happened during that time. The martial arts secrets were lost, and the children were unable to learn martial arts. The path set by the elders became a dead end, and people who hadn't learned martial arts couldn't get through at all. Later, the elders of the Zhang family changed this adult level into going out to rob tombs and release into the wild.

The more Qiuyue thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, but she still had to wait until she returned to the modern era to check the specific situation.

"Since school doesn't end until noon, let's go back first. We didn't draw enough talismans last night. I'll go back and draw more. Besides giving them to the officials, the children can also take some to use."

Qiuyue pinched Cotton Pudding's little cat paw while speaking. Zhang Shouxu paused and replied, "Yes."

After returning to her bedroom, Qiuyue placed the cotton pudding on the table, then picked up the pen again and began to draw talismans. She planned to draw more amulets and give the talisman paper to the children after they passed their final exams.

You ask why we should wait until then to give it?

In fact, it was because Qiuyue thought that the final exam might test various martial arts and coping abilities. If the children had the amulet, they might relax and thus have poor test scores. Moreover, the existence of the amulet was equivalent to cheating for them. According to Zhang Shouxu, the final exam would not be very dangerous (children who had taken the exam before: Who said that!), so there was no need to use the amulet. It would be better to wait until after the exam to give it to them. By then, even if they wanted to go out and travel around, there would not be any big problems.

It’s a pity that they didn’t practice Taoism, otherwise they would have spiritual power to draw talismans for themselves.

Suddenly, Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, and the talisman she was drawing in her hand broke into a useless talisman.

Cultivation?

She remembered that all the men in her family practiced Taoism, and the skills they practiced seemed to be given by her, but she couldn't remember what skills she had.

She didn't even remember how she taught them the skills.

What a pity! If she still remembered, she could have let the children practice Taoism, which would be much more powerful than practicing martial arts.

Or wait until the little official turns back into an adult, and then let him pass on his cultivation techniques to others?

Oh, no, she remembered that each man in her family learned a different set of skills, which were suitable for each of them. Others might get twice the result with half the effort if they learned them. If Xiaoguan were to let others learn his skills, the effect might not be very good.

Thinking of this, Qiuyue sighed and felt extremely unhappy.

When will her amnesia be cured?

When Qiuyue was stunned and dazed, Zhang Shouxu had already noticed her distraction. Seeing her brows slightly furrowed and revealing a trace of annoyance, Zhang Shouxu's heart suddenly tightened and he called softly, "Master Linzu, is there something that makes you unhappy?"

Qiuyue came back to her senses, shook her head, picked up the half-broken talisman on the table and handed it to him: "It's okay, I was just thinking about something. This talisman is already broken, you can throw it away."

Zhang Shouxu looked at the talisman, took it obediently, and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

When Qiuyue saw him take it, she lowered her head and continued to draw the talisman. Zhang Shouxu gently pinched the talisman paper and slowly retreated. He glanced at Qiuyue, but did not throw away the talisman paper after walking out of the hall. Instead, he hid it close to his body in his clothes.

Since you don't want it anymore, just give it to him and he will keep it well.

Qiuyue: That police officer is him!!!

Qiuyue was so busy drawing the talisman that she didn't notice the passage of time at all. It was only when the official came back to her side and called her softly that she noticed that he had returned.

"Ah, Xiaoguan, you are dismissed from get out of class."

Qiuyue finished the last stroke and put down the pen before turning around and looking at him. Seeing that his face was indifferent, she asked, "How was the second period? Did you understand?"

Xiaoguan nodded slightly, looking at her, and couldn't help but recall the scene after class just now.

"Brother, brother, is your name Zhang Xiaoguan?"

"Brother, aren't you happy living with your sister?"

"Brother, what will the Zhang family look like in the future? Did your sister find you and bring you here?"

"Brother, I really envy you for being able to live with your sister. Your sister treats you so well."

"The clan leader has arranged for us to stay nearby so that we can have a chance to visit you and your sister at night!"

"When my mother found out I was going to live near my sister's palace, she packed my bags and kicked me out of the house early in the morning."

"Hehehe, my dad is the same. He said that if I make my sister unhappy, he will break my legs."

"Hahahaha, I'm different from you guys. Grandpa already took care of it for me yesterday."

As soon as the head instructor left, the children surrounded the official and started asking questions. All their conversations were about Qiuyue. When the official heard that they wanted to find Qiuyue, he immediately felt unhappy.

They already have a family, so why are they trying to snatch his sister away?

"I'm going back to eat."

Xiaoguan's delicate face was filled with coldness at the moment. He didn't respond to any of their questions. Seeing this, Zhang Zhenxian couldn't help but say, "My younger brother seems to be a quiet person too. Zhang Zhenyuan, Zhang Zhenyou, Zhang Wujue, you all look exactly the same standing next to my younger brother."

The people who were called out looked at Zhang Zhenxian expressionlessly. Zhang Zhenyou wanted to say something, but the person next to him pulled his hand, so he had to shut his mouth again.

"Since my brother is going back, please get out of the way. I'm still waiting for him to come back."

The person next to Zhang Zhenxian spoke slowly, and his words seemed to have a certain effect. After hearing this, the others stopped talking and made way for him. The official glanced at the person who spoke, pursed his lips, and left without saying anything. As soon as he left, the faces of the more than 40 people who had been very harmonious immediately changed, and they dispersed without saying a word.

Back to the present, Xiaoguan looked at Qiuyue, whose eyes were full of tenderness, and suddenly called out, "Sister..."

"Hmm? My sister is here. What do you want to say?"

After Qiuyue cleaned her hands with the whitening talisman, she reached out and touched his little head. The little official felt the gentle touch on his head, and his hands hanging at his sides clenched slightly.

"Sister, you..."

Can you be my only sister...

Qiuyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard him say this. She quickly held up his little face and tried to read his expression, asking, "Little official, are you unhappy about something? Or is someone bullying you? Don't be afraid, just tell me. I'll support you!"

Seeing Qiuyue's face full of worry and anxiety, the official couldn't help but be stunned. Qiuyue couldn't tell what his expression was, and she felt even more panicked.

Do you want to carry it all by yourself again?

Thinking of Zhang Qiling's tendency to hide his injuries, Qiuyue immediately stood up and was about to take him away: "Come on, I'll take you to ask the head instructor what's going on!"

Xiaoguan came back to his senses and quickly pulled Qiuyue's hand and said, "No, no one bullied me, sister."

"Really not?"

Qiuyue looked back at him and asked suspiciously. To be honest, she could believe anything else Zhang Qiling said, but it was really hard for her to believe his answer about whether he was okay or not. After all, in her memory, when Zhang Qiling was still A Kun, he had lied to her that he was fine even though he was covered in bruises. This made it difficult for her to believe his answer to such questions.

Cotton and Pudding, who were squatting on the table, tilted their heads. They didn't know why they suddenly wanted to find the teacher. Xiaoguan looked pretty good, so how could their sister know that he was not good?

"Well, not really."

The official nodded, confirming the answer. At the same time, his unhappiness had completely dissipated in Qiuyue's worried and anxious reaction, and was replaced by a little happiness.

She still cares about him very much.
