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

Zhang Wuya did not respond immediately. He looked at Qiuyue and tears began to well up in his eyes again. Qiuyue was stunned and interrupted what she wanted to say.

"I'm sorry, sister. I know we shouldn't take our anger out on him, but, but...we, we are really sad. Sister tried her best to save him, but he was fine after waking up. We really...really can't stand him being like this...and, and we didn't do anything to him afterwards..."

Zhang Wuya spoke with a choked voice, his red eyes looked extremely pitiful. If the outsiders saw this, they would curse him as being possessed by a ghost.

What the hell is this? How could Jiang Yufu, who is always moody and ruthless, cry like this? Someone must be impersonating him!

Qiuyue sighed deeply, and finally stopped talking to him. Instead, she reached out and gently patted his arm, saying, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Don't cry."

A dark light flickered in Zhang Wuya's eyes. He leaned down and put his face close to Qiuyue. He looked at her pitifully and whispered, "Sister..."

The handsome young man looked at her with red eyes, and even bent down to put her in a lower position. His eyes were full of grievance and pity. Who could resist such a scene? Qiuyue couldn't resist it anyway. Even the displeasure in her heart completely dissipated. She just raised her hand and touched his head: "Okay, I really didn't say anything about you. Don't cry, let's continue with the rest of the story."

After getting the touch he wanted, Zhang Wuya's lips curled up slightly. He quickly lowered his head to respond, sat up straight and continued talking.

After Zhang Shougui stopped Zhang Wuzhu, Zhang Shouxu walked up to him and asked Xiaoguan if he had forgotten anything. However, what everyone did not expect was that Xiaoguan had not forgotten anything. He still remembered everything, but he just did not cry or make a fuss.

When everyone heard Xiaoguan say that he remembered, they almost became furious again. However, before they could say anything, Xiaoguan's words made them freeze in an instant.

"My sister must not be dead yet. She said she has seen me when I grow up, and I am still a child now, so she must still be alive and live to meet me when I grow up."

The words spoken in an exceptionally calm tone calmed down the people who were about to explode in anger instantly, as if they were poured with cold water. It was also these words that completely stabilized the hopes in everyone's hearts, especially Zhang Shouxu, who believed in it the most.

In his eyes, Xiaoguan would be Qiuyue's partner when he grew up, so Qiuyue naturally lived until he became an adult. Her current death must be fake. She was still alive, somewhere in the world, until she met the grown-up Xiaoguan many years later.

Because of Xiaoguan's words, everyone stopped despairing and began to wait for Qiuyue's return. Some people even kept an eye on Xiaoguan, looking forward to the day when he grew up and the day when Qiuyue really came back.

When Qiuyue heard what Xiaoguan said, she was actually hesitant to speak, because she met the grown-up brother first, and then met Xiaoguan. This was the opposite of what Xiaoguan had imagined.

However, after Qiuyue thought about it, she found that there was actually nothing wrong with saying it this way.

She is living well, and twenty years have passed now. She will indeed meet the grown-up Xiaoguan again in the future. To a certain extent, what she said is correct and there is absolutely no problem with it. There is just a slight deviation.

Just when Qiuyue thought that everyone would live a good life like this, Zhang Wuya's next words made her stunned for a moment.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, sister, not long after you disappeared, Little Cotton and Little Pudding were no longer found."

Zhang Wuya said this with a look of guilt on his face. Qiuyue felt her heart clench in an instant. She couldn't believe it and said, "Looking for them, can't find them? How could it be? Little Mianhua and Little Pudding won't run away. How, how could we not find them?"

Zhang Wuya had anticipated Qiuyue's dramatic reaction. He took the opportunity to reach out and hold Qiuyue's soft little hand. With a look of sadness and regret, he said with a hint of sob, "I'm sorry, sister. We didn't keep an eye on them, but Little Cotton and Little Pudding are indeed missing. We turned almost the entire Zhang family upside down, but we couldn't find them. We even searched the destroyed forbidden mountain, fearing that they were trapped, but there was nothing..."

Qiuyue's eyes instantly became wet, tears glistening with uncontrollable sadness, which made Zhang Wuya, who was just pretending, really start to feel distressed. He clenched the extremely soft and delicate hand in his hand and coaxed in a hoarse voice: "Sister, don't be sad..."

How could Qiuyue not be sad? She had originally thought that after twenty years, Cotton Pudding must have died of old age, but that was normal and something she could accept. But now she was told that Cotton Pudding disappeared after she left, and might even have been crushed to death somewhere. How could she accept this?!

Qiuyue opened her red lips slightly, but was speechless. In her opinion, she had only seen Little Cotton and Little Pudding a week ago. How could...

When he saw the tears rolling down the girl's eyes, Zhang Wuya's heart skipped a beat. He even began to regret why he had told the truth. Instead of telling the truth, he might as well say that the cotton pudding had died. Since he was dead anyway, what was wrong with telling a white lie?

"elder sister……"

Zhang Wuya looked at Qiuyue who was crying silently. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to comfort her. He could only think for a moment and whispered, "Sister, there is one more thing I need to tell you."

Qiuyue paused slightly after hearing this, but still said in a trembling voice: "You said..."

Zhang Wuya pondered for a moment, then looked at Qiuyue cautiously and said softly, "Sister, didn't I say before that we are all waiting for the young official to grow up and for you to come back to see him..."

Qiuyue nodded slightly and looked at him with some doubt in her eyes: "Yeah, what's wrong, is there any other problem?"

Zhang Wuya had a somewhat conflicted look on his face, but he still spoke. His words made Qiuyue's mind go blank.

"After my sister left, Xiaoguan...he will never grow up again..."

Qiuyue opened her beautiful eyes wide in disbelief. The tears that were already rolling down her face could no longer be stopped. They fell down incessantly, and Zhang Wuya immediately regretted what he had done.

Oops, wrong topic.

He quickly reached out his hand to wipe her tears, and said in a hurried tone: "Sister, don't cry. Xiaoguan just can't grow up. He's fine. He's alive and well!"

After Zhang Wuya's last words came out, Qiuyue's originally blank brain started working again, and she successfully calmed down.

She almost forgot that Xiaoguan was a child transformed from the little brother, not a real child, and could not be viewed with common sense. If Xiaoguan really grew up little by little like a normal child, she would be shocked.

In the final analysis, she was distracted by the cotton pudding incident, so she didn't react immediately and was frightened by Zhang Wuya's words.

"I am fine."

After Qiuyue calmed down, she replied in a hoarse voice. Seeing that he was still looking at her worriedly, Qiuyue thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoguan is not from this era. He can't grow up here, so you don't have to worry."

If telling the truth requires too much explanation, just tell them in a way they can understand that it's okay for a small official to be small.

Little Fubao, who had been hidden in mid-air, scratched his head and blinked his small eyes.

My sister is so smart, she actually understands all this.

Xiaoguan, there is really no way you can grow up in an era that is not your own. Otherwise, how are you going to explain why you suddenly grew older when you return to your own era?

Zhang Wuya didn't take it too seriously. He just didn't want Qiuyue to continue crying. However, he still seemed relieved and said, "That's good. We were worried about whether Xiaoguan had any problems back then."

In fact, what he didn't say was that because Xiaoguan never grew up, all those who wanted him to grow up quickly so that Qiuyue could come to find him became angry and anxious. Some of them even suspected that Xiaoguan was no longer a living person. He had died when he was dismembered that year. Now he was just a living dead whose life was forcibly prolonged by Qiuyue. If most people had not had their last bit of sanity to hold on, Xiaoguan would have been caught and questioned long ago.

"It's okay, it's normal for a young official to behave like that."

Qiuyue raised her hand to wipe her tears, still in a low mood. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "You just said that you didn't know where Xiaoguan is now, which means that Xiaoguan is not in the Zhang family land now. Then you just said that Xiaoguan has never grown up. Did he leave the Zhang family land when he was a child? Didn't anyone stop him? He was so young, what could he do outside?"

It's like this again, and you care about him so much, why don't you worry about us?

Zhang Wuya suppressed his displeasure and explained with lowered eyes, "No, sister. When Xiaoguan woke up, all of us started to cheer up because of what he said. Xiaoguan was no exception. He actively went to school and practiced martial arts every day. Even though his body didn't grow up, he kept getting stronger. Until we were fifteen, Xiaoguan proposed to walk the path of adulthood with us..."

"What, the road to adulthood?!"

Qiuyue was shocked again. She said, "Both the head instructor and your clan leader agreed?!"

Zhang Wuya pursed his lips and said, "The clan leader disagreed at first, but it was only after the martial arts instructor said that Xiaoguan's ability was no problem that the clan leader agreed to let him go. Xiaoguan has done very well, and his results are no worse than ours."

Qiuyue felt like she was on a roller coaster. The ups and downs made her a little dizzy. Fortunately, the final result was good. Xiaoguan had passed the adulthood stage and was fine. Everything was a happy ending.
