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

When the truth was revealed before her, Qiuyue was completely stunned. She looked at the group of children in front of her in disbelief, her throat choking and aching.

Five years, almost five years! She had thought they would only argue for a month or two at most, but she never expected it to be five years!

Are these still the well-behaved children she thought they were? !

An indescribable discomfort suddenly surged into her heart, and Qiuyue almost vomited.

She felt like she was going crazy!

At a certain moment, Qiuyue even felt a sense of rejection and disgust from the bottom of her heart towards the group of children in front of her, towards Zhang Shouxu, and towards the Zhang family of this era.

The Zhang family, it turns out it has always been that bloody Zhang family...

Zhang Shouxu felt Qiuyue's trembling body and quickly reached out to hold her hand on her knee. As expected, that white and tender hand was icy cold at the moment, without any warmth at all. This made Zhang Shouxu's heart ache. He raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, holding her. With his other hand, he stroked her back and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, it's okay, Ah Ling, don't be afraid."

Qiuyue was instantly soaked with tears after being hugged, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

Why is the truth so cruel...

After everything was said, all the children wilted like eggplants hit by frost, and when they saw Qiuyue's trembling body, their faces turned even paler.

They really broke her heart.

Although Qiuyue was held tightly in Zhang Shouxu's warm embrace, she was still shivering all over. Her lips turned pale and she trembled for a long time without recovering. She really couldn't bear the news.

Zhang Zhenyi and the others are only eight or nine years old now, and the oldest is only twelve years old. So how old were they five years ago?

Three years old!

It is horrible and outrageous that a three-year-old child has learned to bully and humiliate!

Although she knew that it was their elders who had unknowingly taught them bad things, Qiuyue still found it hard to accept.

She really didn't know how to face them now, and she had no confidence in turning them back on their feet.

After Zhang Shouxu hugged Qiuyue tightly, he turned around and looked at the group of children sitting there with an extremely complicated look.

Although he knew that the two groups of children did not get along with each other, he did not expect that they had been fighting for so many years. At that time, he was on a mission outside and was not in the tribe at all. He only came back after completing the mission in the last two years. When he came back, Zhang Zhenyi and the others were already studying together. He had no idea what happened that year.

The cotton puddings have been in shock from the beginning until now. They curled up on the table weak, pitiful and helpless, and felt that the Zhang family was as terrifying as a man-eating devil's den. They thought that knowing that this was a family of tomb robbers was already great, but they didn't expect that the things inside were even more outrageous!

Qiuyue stayed in Zhang Shouxu's arms for a long time before gradually regaining some warmth. She gently pushed Zhang Shouxu, and Zhang Shouxu let go of her hand and looked at her with eyes full of heartache: "A Ling..."

Qiuyue shook her head, took a deep breath, and looked at Zhang Zhenyi and the others with tears in her eyes, saying, "You two, separate and let me see you."

Although Qiuyue didn't say much, the children understood what she meant. She wanted to see which ones were from the main family and which ones were from outsiders.

The children stood up in silence and divided into two groups under Qiuyue's gaze. Qiuyue looked at the group of children headed by Zhang Zhenyi, and tears immediately fell from her eyes.

Zhang Zhenxian, Zhang Daoqing, Zhang Daotang, Zhang Daochang, so many faces that she was so familiar with, but now when she looked at them again, she felt that they were too unfamiliar.

When they saw Qiuyue crying again, the children felt their hearts break again. They were in so much pain that they could hardly breathe. Zhang Zhenyi raised his hand tremblingly and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

What else could he say? No matter how much he said, it was just empty talk.

Qiuyue tried hard to suppress the urge to cry. She looked at them with red eyes, her voice suppressed but uncontrollable trembling as she said, "You, do you really hate my family that much?"

Zhang Zhenyi pulled the corner of his mouth bitterly. He was no longer as heartless as before. His face turned pale and his voice was hoarse as he said, "They, their in-laws, were originally born just to serve our master. They are a group of servants..."

Qiuyue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and a hint of confusion appeared on her face. Seeing this, Zhang Shouxu beside her began to explain in a low voice.

It turns out that in ancient times, the Zhang family only had one main family, or there was no such thing as a main family at all. Everyone was originally a family, and there was no distinction between main and external families. So how did the external family come about? Are the external family members of the Zhang family? No, they are not. The external family members are not members of the Zhang family.

The original Wai Jia was actually composed of outsiders, most of whom were slaves or attendants of the Zhang family. Later, the Zhang family thought it would be good to have such an Wai Jia working outside. They, the Zhang family, were responsible for guarding the bronze doors and bronze trees around the world, while the Wai Jia was responsible for collecting news from the world and doing things for them. Working together could also speed up efficiency, so the Wai Jia was born.

At first, the Zhang family consisted of a group of subordinates and servants. Later, after being called the "outside family", the Zhang family began to collect talented people from all walks of life and bring them under their command to work for the Zhang family. As the Zhang family members were all wealthy and powerful, many outsiders came to become outsiders, and so the "outside family" began to develop.

As time went by, the contact between the main family and the outside family became more and more frequent, and there were even cases where the main family members fell in love with the outside family members. However, what the Zhang family valued most was blood. They believed that their own Qilin blood was noble and inviolable. Only when the Zhang family members were together could the purest Qilin blood be produced. Those Zhang family members who were with the outside family members were simply self-degrading and unreasonable, comparable to traitors in the clan.

At the beginning, the head of the Zhang family at that time would persuade those Zhang family members who wanted to be with the outside family, but in the end the effect was minimal, and few were persuaded to come back. Instead, more and more Zhang family members began to show signs of reunion, and some even had children. Seeing that they refused to turn back, the head of the Zhang family gritted his teeth and directly expelled those Zhang family members from the main family, and completely divided them into the outside family. From then on, the outside family began to have the Qilin bloodline.

Everyone knows that the Zhang family has a long lifespan. As time passed, the outsiders who were first taken in by the outer family began to die one by one, leaving behind the expelled Zhang family members and the mixed-race children. Then the head of the Zhang family began to recruit outsiders to enrich the outer family. Compared with the few Zhang family members who were expelled, the larger number of outsiders were more effective, so there was a second recruitment. However, after this recruitment, the truth was revealed again, and the Zhang family members turned their attention to the outsiders again.

After experiencing two shocking events in succession, the exhausted head of the Zhang family finally stopped recruiting outsiders, because at that time there were already quite a few outsiders in the family, all of whom were Zhang family members and mixed-race children who had been expelled by him, so there was no need to recruit outsiders.

After the recruitment stopped, the expelled Zhang family members also understood their mission. Although they were expelled by the head of the Zhang family and became outsiders, they also knew that what they did was wrong. Their hearts were still with the Zhang family. In their eyes, the Zhang family was still their home. So, this group of Zhang family members who were classified as outsiders took on the tasks issued by the head of the Zhang family, and began to truly take over this outsider family and develop it. So far, all the outsiders who possessed Qilin blood appeared.

Although they have Qilin blood, the outside family is still considered an outsider in the eyes of the main family, especially when the first batch of expelled Zhang family members died, the mixed-race children they left behind were even more excluded and not accepted. The Zhang family felt that this was a shame for the Zhang family and that they were evil offspring that should not have been born. In the end, it was the new head of the Zhang family who came forward and let these mixed-race children take over the responsibilities of their elders and continue to work for the main family. At the same time, it was stipulated that they could not be with the main family members, and their status was the lowest level, which could never be changed.

This rule set by the head of the Zhang family has continued to this day, and this is why the outsiders do all the dirty and tiring work in the main family. From the very beginning, they were confined to the class of servants. The main family members are always higher than them, and the outsiders can only stand below and look up at the main family members.

However, when it came to Zhang Zhenyi's generation, there appeared a group of children like Zhang Shougui who could almost be called pure-blooded Qilin. The head of the Zhang family had a good idea. He wanted to make these children the main family members and let them become the pillars of the Zhang family in the future. But he forgot that the main family members only regarded outsiders as slaves. Now he suddenly made a group of slaves' children become the main family members. How could the original main family members accept it?

If the Zhang family head had not ordered these children to change their generation names and let them continue to use their maternal family names, the head of the family would not have been so hostile. They could even have waited until these children grew up and made various contributions before the Zhang family head let them change their names and become members of the head family. That would have been easier for people to accept than it is now.

But, there are no ifs.

All of this has led to the current situation. The pillars of the Zhang family that the head of the family has been looking forward to have hated each other since they were very young. He and the three head instructors underestimated the character of these children, underestimated their pride, and underestimated the ruthlessness and bloodiness that they have always possessed as members of the Zhang family.
