Fu Xian was young and did not possess the independent thinking capabilities of an adult.
Nevertheless, as the direct grandson of the Grand Libationer, he had been assiduously cultivated by the old Grand Libationer since he began to speak.
So he could express some degree of thought.
He tilted his little head in thought before speaking.
"We were originally confined in a pitch-black Mountain Cave. Later, someone ran in and said something about the Government Office having traced them to the vicinity.
Then they put us inside a big carriage, and afterwards, we were brought to a large Courtyard."
"A large Courtyard? Do you know where it is?"
Little Fu Xian shook his head.
"I don’t know. But when we were led in, I heard the gatekeeper talking with the child kidnappers."
"What did they say?"
"The Great Benefactor is waiting in the backyard. They also said to keep a close watch on that child with great fortune, as success or failure rests entirely on her."
"Is there anything else?"
"No, that’s all."
"You truly have no idea where you are?"
Fu Xian shook his head again.
"I really don’t know."
"Alright then! You may go!"
After Ah Ling sent Fu Xian out, Xiaosuisui finally emerged from the Lotus Pond.
"Master, Fu Xian doesn’t know where they are. Do we need to bring someone else in?"
Xiaosuisui looked at the few strands of hair in her hand; they diminished with each use. I must tell Second Aunt this news first!
Thinking this, Xiaosuisui left the Dream Realm.
Under the dim light, Huo Xing’Er was reading a book. When Xiaosuisui opened her eyes and saw her, she sweetly called out, "Auntie!"
Huo Xing’Er turned her head to look at her and gave a light chuckle.
"Didn’t you just go to sleep? How did you wake up so soon?"
Xiaosuisui rolled over on the bed, climbed up, and got out of bed barefoot.
Huo Xing’Er quickly picked her up into her arms.
"The floor’s cold, put on your shoes!"
"It’s not cold, Auntie. Do you know anyone nearby called the Great Benefactor?"
"The Great Benefactor?" Huo Xing’Er looked at her in confusion.
"Why do you ask?"
"The Fu Xian that Seventh Uncle found said that they are in a house owned by someone called the Great Benefactor. He said the Great Benefactor is in the backyard."
"Fu Xian? You’ve seen Fu Xian? When did you see him?"
"I’ve seen him. Just now, I saw him in my dream."
"Suisui, are you telling the truth? You’re not lying to your Second Aunt?"
Xiaosuisui shook her head, "No, Suisui would never lie to Auntie!"
Huo Xing’Er softly patted her little head.
"Suisui, in the future, no matter who you see in your dreams, or whatever happens, you cannot tell anyone other than the Ji Family."
Xiaosuisui tilted her head up, as if she didn’t understand.
"Suisui, not everyone in this world can see whoever they want to see in their dreams."
Huo Xing’Er patiently explained, instructing her.
Suisui blinked. "Can I tell all Ji family members?"
Huo Xing’Er thought for a moment. "Do you trust your Second Aunt?"
Xiaosuisui nodded.
"Then, you can tell your Second Aunt. Do you trust your Third Aunt?"
"I trust her."
"You can also tell your Third Aunt."
"Suisui trusts Grandma, First Uncle, Fourth Uncle, First Aunt, and Seventh Uncle. Can Suisui tell all of them too?"
Among these people, Huo Xing’Er noticed that the little girl omitted her Second Uncle, Ji Youran.
"From now on, besides the people Suisui just mentioned, you shouldn’t tell anyone else, okay?"
"Mhm! Okay!"
Huo Xing’Er held Xiaosuisui, pinched her little nose, and took her to knock on Ji Youzhi’s door.
"Second Sister-in-law, what can I do for you at this late hour?"
Huo Xing’Er briefly checked her surroundings to ensure safety before entering his room.
"Close the door!"
Ji Youzhi obediently closed the door and poured Huo Xing’Er a cup of tea.
"Second Sister-in-law, please have some tea."
Huo Xing’Er didn’t drink, but Xiaosuisui picked up the teacup and gulped it down. GULP. GULP.
"Hey, you silly child, drinking tea this late at night! Don’t you want to sleep anymore?"
Xiaosuisui pouted. "I’m thirsty..."
Huo Xing’Er: "..." Alright, my fault.
"Young Seven, I have something to discuss with you."
"Please go ahead, Second Sister-in-law."
"The grandson of the Grand Libationer you mentioned before, Fu Xian, is among these children. They’ve all been taken to the vicinity of Baiyun Town."
"What did you say? Second Sister-in-law, this is no joking matter."
