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

At this moment, even if he accidentally glanced at Zhang Qiling in the group, he couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and at the same time became silent.

The "classmates" who had trained with him back then were now not only ghost immortals who had practiced for over a thousand years and were infinitely more powerful than him, but they had also learned modern knowledge. Compared to himself...

Does he also need to buy some books to study?

Zhang Zhenxian had no idea what the people around him were thinking. After he had brought his men near the group, he patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder and said to Zhang Daojun and the others, "Here he comes! I brought this guy here. Come over and say hello."

Hearing Zhang Zhenxian's shout, several of Zhang Daojun and the others couldn't help but twitch their lips. Zhang Shouxu simply ignored Zhang Zhenxian, who didn't act like an elder, and turned to look at Zhang Qiling, who still had no expression on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Long time no see."

Zhang Qiling looked at the faces in front of him that were both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar. It took him a long time to speak, and he also responded with "Long time no see".

It has indeed been a long time since we last met. For Zhang Shouxu and the others, it has been more than a thousand years, and for Zhang Qiling, it has been more than a hundred years.

Although Zhang Shouxu initially resented Zhang Qiling because Qiuyue disappeared after saving him, when he later learned that Qiuyue might still be alive and would find Zhang Qiling after he grew up, Zhang Shouxu actually stopped venting his resentment on him. Instead, he tried hard to let him grow up healthily, even if it was just so that he could see Qiuyue again after he grew up. But at least he no longer wanted to kill or hurt him. Instead, he seriously performed his role as a temporary guardian, delivering food and clothes to him, and did not let him starve or freeze. Even though he hardly spoke to Zhang Qiling, he could still be regarded as an elder who cared about him well in his childhood.

The same went for Zhang Zhenxian and the others. When they were practicing martial arts, they treated him as a normal "classmate" and studied together without blaming him. Although they rarely talked to each other, they still helped each other when training together. They did not exclude or isolate him. Instead, they would help and guide him when he did something wrong in his practice. They did not want him to make mistakes and get into trouble. This was also because they also wanted Zhang Qiling to grow up healthily, so that the saying "Zhang Qiling will meet Qiuyue when he grows up" would come true.

And does Zhang Qiling, who is being taken care of, know this? Of course he knows, he knows very well why they treat him so well, but even so, being taken care of and helped by them are all real benefits, which is undeniable. He will not dislike them just because of their purpose in taking care of him. He recognizes these cares - this is why he did not resist when Zhang Zhenxian came over, hooked his neck and took him away.

Although their relationship doesn't seem good, they are actually a family.

"You kid, you haven't grown at all in all that time. I thought you would never grow up."

Zhang Wuya raised his hand and patted Zhang Qiling's shoulder, pinching it. He looked him over and exclaimed in amazement. Zhang Qiling let him pinch and said calmly, "It started growing after I came back."

Zhang Shouxu and the others had long been accustomed to his few words in response, and in these few simple conversations, the unfamiliarity that had separated them for thousands of years was quickly dissipating. Although some people still looked expressionless, their eyes when looking at Zhang Qiling were already filled with a hint of nostalgia and smiles.

"It's a little short, but it's okay, at least it's taller."

Zhang Shougui's mouth curled up slightly. Zhang Zhenxian, who had already let go of Zhang Qiling's hand and no longer hooked it, said with a grin, "Back then, you didn't grow taller, but you could still keep up with us in cultivation. Now it's different. We have been cultivating for more than a thousand years, and you have only learned martial arts. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I don't want you to call me ancestor, just call me brother. How about I teach you a new cultivation?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Haike and others who were standing nearby and peeking almost choked. However, Zhang Qiling showed no sign of being angry at all. He just calmly replied, "No need," and then said nothing more.

"Hey, brat."

Zhang Zhenxian was about to raise his hand to pull Zhang Qiling again when Zhang Zhenli beside him suddenly said, "Here comes the baby."

? !

Zhang Zhenxian turned around suddenly and looked, but there was no one there. Just as he was about to open his mouth and say that he wanted to go back, the voice that had been haunting him for a thousand years suddenly rang out.

"Ah! Shouxu! Wuya! Daojun Shougui and everyone else!! Why are you here! And little brother!!"

When the trembling voice filled with inappropriate emotions sounded, everyone present cast their eyes in that direction in an instant, and Zhang Shouxu, Zhang Qiling and others who were called took a deep breath and almost subconsciously wanted to rush towards the oncoming person. Fortunately, their rationality barely made them stop and wait, and prevented them from rushing forward and causing an accident.

Their baby!

After waiting for thousands, hundreds of years! We finally meet again!!

Qiuyue was no less excited than them. She looked at the group of people who seemed so familiar to her, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She could no longer think about why they were here, nor could she figure out why they looked a little different from before. She just flew towards them out of control, opening her arms and pouncing on the person in front.

"Woo——"

Almost in an instant, Qiuyue threw herself into the arms of Zhang Shouxu who was in front of her, and tears as big as beans burst out of her eyes frantically in an instant. The moment Zhang Shouxu caught her, his eyes were also red, but he could no longer shed tears as he had no flesh and blood. He could only rely on reason to keep his body temperature and heartbeat at normal levels, so that the person in his arms would not be frozen or frightened.

"baby……"

Zhang Shouxu's voice suddenly became hoarse, his throat was blocked and he could hardly speak. His big hand trembled as he raised it to gently stroke her little head, and the people around him also gathered around with red eyes, their breathing uncontrolled and rapid to the extreme - many years ago, they had already accustomed themselves to having "breathing", "heartbeat" and "body temperature". Although they were all fake, they could already exist exactly like living people, and even physiological reactions could be made subconsciously without deliberate control.

Hearing the call, Qiuyue burst into tears like a popped water balloon, and in the blink of an eye, she burst into tears, not caring at all that many people were watching her cry.

Clearly, in her cognition, they had only been separated from her for a few days, but her brain knew clearly that they had truly waited for thousands of years to get to this point. When she thought of this, she couldn't hold back her tears at all and just wanted to cry out all her heartache and sadness.

"Woo, woo, woo—Shouxu, Wuya, Dao, Daojun, everyone, woo, woo—"

"You, you all, have all come, so, so many years, woo-"

"Wow, how did you all get here—"

"I thought I'd never see you again, but, but uh... now that you're here, I feel even sadder, uhwahwa—"

"All, all here, wuwuwuwu..."

Qiuyue just kept crying, clutching Zhang Shouxu's clothes tightly with both hands. She didn't care about her identity as the Ancestral Qilin, nor did she care about the people around her watching her. She cried completely and openly, and everyone was so heartbroken that they could hardly breathe.

"Don't cry, don't cry, baby, we are all doing well here. We haven't suffered as much as you thought. Really, we have lived quite well in the past thousand years. If you don't believe me, ask other people, they are all doing well."

Zhang Shouxu tried hard to swallow the bitterness in his throat and tried to comfort her in a calm and gentle tone. The others who gathered around him could no longer hold back and reached out to comfort Qiuyue. Some wiped her tears, some touched her head, and coaxed her in an extremely gentle voice.

"Yes, Shouxu didn't lie to you. We've lived a fulfilling life over the past thousand years. We've also practiced and become incredibly powerful. Don't cry, baby."

"If we had suffered, how could we be as handsome as we are now? Look, baby, don't we look better than before?"

"That's right, baby, look at me. I'm the most handsome one standing in front of you. Can't you look at me more?"

"Fuck you, I'm obviously the most handsome."

"Stop arguing, let me, the most handsome one, be the judge."

……

Zhang Wuya, Zhang Zhenxian and others coaxed Qiuyue one after another. It was obvious that they knew how to make Qiuyue stop crying. When they started to argue about who was the most handsome, Qiuyue choked back her tears and burst into laughter. She even laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking and she almost blew a snot bubble.

Seeing Qiuyue laughing out loud, everyone who was originally extremely worried suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. They did not feel disgusted at all for her face covered with tears and snot. Instead, they felt more pity and distress for her. Zhang Daonan (with split personality) squeezed in and drew a rune in the air when he raised his hand. Qiuyue was about to raise her hand to wipe away her tears when a cool feeling suddenly covered her face and body. The tears and snot on her face disappeared in an instant, leaving only red eyes and a red nose to prove that she had cried really hard just now.
