A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Ji Youyuan reached out to touch her little head.

"I know, before this, we haven’t avenged you, because we were trying to lure out the Li Clan elder, the big fish..."

"Uncle!"

Xiaosuisui suddenly interrupted Ji Youyuan.

Ji Youyuan looked at her.

"My true enemy is not the Li Family!"

Ji Youyuan was surprised and stared at her.

Outside the palace walls, as she listened to Suisui and the Li Clan elder’s conversation, he realized that the little girl had been hiding her talents all this time at home!

This made him suddenly realize, he could no longer treat this child, who had been with the Ji Family for less than a year, as a mere child.

Li Clan elder’s words solved his doubt, this child had awakened the powers of the Celestial Dao’s chosen one.

But when did she awaken?

Was it at the mass grave?

Yes, great calamity follows with enlightenment, and the enlightened must have great fortune!

But everything she did in Ling Village and later when returning to the capital was completely normal!

All her actions were those of a child!

"Uncle! Uncle! What’s wrong with you, Uncle?"

Ji Youyuan suddenly snapped back from his thoughts, right before Xiaosuisui’s little chubby hand waving in front of him!

"Oh! Uncle was just thinking about something and got lost in thought!"

Ji Youyuan’s cultivation was strong, he directly blocked Xiaosuisui’s telepathy, so even though she saw him lost in thought for a while, she couldn’t know what he was thinking!

"It’s nothing, Uncle just thinks you’ve grown up, you’re a good kid!"

Xiaosuisui pursed her lips and giggled.

"Your mother was a good person, kind and innocent. I don’t know much about your father; no one in our family knows how he met your mother or anything.

Your grandmother knew that when she married into the Li Family of Shanglin Village, she was facing danger.

I started investigating everything about her and your father after she passed away from difficult labor.

The results were compiled by your eighth uncle. Whether you want to know everything about them, you decide for yourself!"

Xiaosuisui nodded upon hearing this, "I understand."

Ji Youyuan reached out to touch her little head, but stopped halfway.

This child looked small, but couldn’t be treated as a child anymore.

"If Uncle wants to touch, just touch! Hehe!"

Xiaosuisui moved her little head closer to Ji Youyuan’s hand, her face brimming with a giggle.

Ji Youyuan couldn’t resist, he touched her gently.

"It’s bright out, you should go back and take a nap!"

"Okay!"

Xiaosuisui returned to Qinxin Pavilion, took out her precious little golden figurine, hugged it, and fell asleep.

In the palace, the Emperor sat high on the Dragon Throne, Ji Youze was sitting by a small table writing dossiers, Ji Youzhi began telling a story to Liu Yuheng and Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lu Zezhong.

"Do you know what we were doing just now, gentlemen?"

Ji Youzhi had Eunuch Ling bring in two cups of cold water, pouring one over Lu Zezhong and Liu Yuheng’s heads each.

Dousing them awake from their sleep.

"You...what did you do?"

Lu Zezhong woke up, still kneeling calmly, while Liu Yuheng was shivering, scared out of his wits.

"Lord Liu, I have bad news and good news to tell you, which would you like to hear first?"

Ji Youzhi looked at Liu Yuheng, smiling mysteriously, looking rather energetic.

"Lord Divine Hunter, can I not choose?"

Ji Youzhi chuckled lowly, "No, you can’t!"

Liu Yuheng was near tears, "Lord Divine Hunter, I have said all I have to say, there’s really nothing more I can say!"

Ji Youzhi grinned at him, "But there’s still something you haven’t said!"

Liu Yuheng closed his eyes, a cold grip on his heart, Li Xu had gone in, the two chancellors went out, and now the Imperial Study was just him and Minister Lu.

At this moment, Liu Yuheng was painfully aware; his true judgment had arrived.

"Lord Divine Hunter, what do you wish to hear? Just say it, and I’ll speak according to your wishes."

Liu Yuheng gritted his teeth, employing the tactics the Southwest Road’s gang bosses used against officials to tackle Ji Youzhi.

But Ji Youzhi, who was he?

The person who began solving cases at ten, and became famous at thirteen, a Divine Hunter known throughout the world.

"Hmph! You want to circle around me? I’m not afraid of you keeping silent; back to the topic, two bits of news, pick one!"

Liu Yuheng closed his eyes, clenching his teeth, "I don’t want to ask."

"You must ask."

"Then, please tell, what’s the good news, Divine Hunter Ji?"

Ji Youzhi smiled, he glanced at Lu Zezhong who knelt beside Liu Yuheng, "The good news is people came into the palace from outside, each highly skilled in martial arts and carrying fine weapons."

Liu Yuheng let out a long "Ah," terrified.

Lu Zezhong’s lips curled slightly, eyes showing a hint of expectation.

"Alright, now for the bad news, do you want to hear it?"

Liu Yuheng swallowed, wiping cold sweat off his forehead as he asked, "What’s the bad news?"

Ji Youzhi stared at him, making Liu Yuheng’s skin crawl, and Lu Zezhong instinctively sensed trouble.

"The bad news is those people were sent by the Li Clan elder, their aim is to assassinate you!"

"Ah!"

Liu Yuheng and Lu Zezhong’s bodies shook instinctively.

"Ah what, those people entered the palace like a mud ox into the sea, we can’t trace them, now if you don’t want your mouths shut permanently, confess honestly."

"Impossible! They can’t kill me; I’ve given them so much money, they can’t kill me!"

Liu Yuheng refused to believe the Li Family would come to kill him!

"The Li Family doesn’t need to kill you, nor has any reason, but then why did they enter the palace? You think for me!"

Ji Youzhi’s words successfully led Liu Yuheng down his line of thinking.

At the same time, Lu Zezhong who knelt beside him also followed this thinking.

Ji Youzhi kept his peripheral vision on him, observing his every move.

"Minister Lu, why don’t you help me think it over! What’s the Li Family planning?"

Lu Zezhong couldn’t help but open his mouth upon hearing, spending a long time without speaking.

"Minister Lu, do you think those people came to kill you?"

Minister Lu had just heard, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, nodding strongly.

At this moment, Lu Zezhong clearly appeared somewhat lacking in divine consciousness, but to Ji Youzhi, it wasn’t divine consciousness failing, but being startled awake at the peak of weariness, terrified.

"But why would the Li Family want to kill you?

Did you commit some crime against them that was unforgivable?"

"I... I haven’t, I bear no hatred nor have caused any harm to the Li Family, there’s no way they’d kill me!"

Lu Zezhong had just said his piece when Ji Youzhi asked, "Then, what do you think those people are doing entering the palace?

"Ha... Ahchoo, I’m terribly drowsy, Lord Divine Hunter, I beg you, let me return home!"

"Lord Lu! In my eyes, truth prevails over all, whether those people came to kill you or not, nobody can take advantage here!"

"Whatever Lord Divine Hunter declares, certainly is! Why must I slowly guess here?"
