Xiaosuisui patted her round little belly and said in a soft, sweet voice, "I’m full!"
Seeing her adorable gesture, her two uncles and father couldn’t help but laugh. The little girl was just too cute.
Yun Duo handed a napkin to Xiaosuisui to clean her hands, while Yunxiang also helped the Little Emperor clean his. Then, they cleared the table and served dessert.
Xiaosuisui started drinking her sweet soup again.
"You’re so small, but you sure can pack it away!" Ji Youze remarked, quite surprised at his niece’s appetite as he dined with her for the first ti.
"Eating lots helps you grow tall! Grandma said eating a lot will make as tall as Uncle Seven soon!"
Ji Youze glanced at Ji Youzhi, who looked quite pleased with himself.
The Little Emperor’s unfriendly gaze subtly shifted towards the traitor Ji Youzhi.
Ji Youzhi sensed trouble and quickly spoke.
"You just said you saw the First Lady of the Xie Family poisoning a baby, and that Xie Wulang also ingested that poison. Where exactly did you see this?"
"I saw it in the eyes of Pretty Sister’s father."
"You saw it in Xie Wulang’s eyes?"
The Little Emperor and the Ji brothers were all quite surprised.
"Yes! Before you all ca, I saw Pretty Sister’s father crying. I took a look into his eyes, entered his inner world, and watched one of his mories."
"Your... your Illusion Technique... has it reached the Sky Level?"
Probing a person’s inner heart, searching their past—according to Ji Youzhi’s knowledge, such profound Power was not sothing even a Grand Master like his elder brother could easily wield.
Upon hearing what the little girl said, he was so scared that his words beca incoherent.
"It wasn’t Illusion Technique. It was Ah Ling. She was probing the inner world of Pretty Sister’s father, and when she lost control for a mont, I happened to see it."
"Who is Ah Ling?"
The sudden ntion of a mysterious Ah Ling who could peer into people’s hearts put Ji Youzhi, his brother Ji Youze, and the Little Emperor on high alert. They all turned to Xiaosuisui, questioning her in unison.
Xiaosuisui reached for the small Bell Pendant at her chest, about to speak, but Ah Ling reminded her in her mind.
Master, you must not tell them about my true existence!
Hearing Ah Ling’s reminder, Xiaosuisui lowered the Bell Pendant and said nothing.
"Suisui! Who is Ah Ling? When did you et her?"
The Divine Hunter’s curiosity was strong, and his sense of alarm flared. He hurriedly questioned Xiaosuisui again.
Pressed by Ji Youzhi’s questioning, Xiaosuisui asked Ah Ling in her mind, How should I answer Uncle Seven’s question?
Ah Ling felt like dying. On a whim, she had glanced outward, noticed the man’s profound sorrow, and, her interest piqued by his past, had casually probed his inner world at that mont.
It wouldn’t have mattered if she hadn’t probed, but to her dismay, the instant she did, it drew in Xiaosuisui, this little prodigy! Xiaosuisui inadvertently caught sight of the man’s tears and thus witnessed a fragnt of his mories.
Xiaosuisui was confused and didn’t understand what was happening at the ti. If Ah Ling hadn’t noticed quickly, Xiaosuisui might have instinctively been drawn into an Illusion Technique; if things had gone poorly, she could have suffered a Qi deviation.
Fortunately, Ah Ling interrupted her exploration. Just then, the Little Emperor and the Ji brothers arrived, and the little girl was taken into the Little Emperor’s arms. Only then, in the Dream Realm, did Ah Ling clearly explain to her what those images she had seen were all about.
But Ah Ling hadn’t had ti to warn her not to speak of this matter before the little girl, driven by hunger, exited the Dream Realm. She then went to eat with her Royal Father and two handso uncles.
Hearing Xiaosuisui’s question, Ah Ling sighed in her mind.
If you say nothing, your uncles will definitely press you for answers. But if I tell the truth, my exposure will bring you danger. So, you need to co up with sothing they’ll believe and not find suspicious!
