A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 73: Every Treasure Belongs to Little Suisui
Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Every Treasure Belongs to Little Suisui
Upon hearing Huo Xing’Er’s exclamation, Ji Youyuan and the others hurriedly turned around to look at her.
The small compass in Huo Xing’Er’s hand was vibrating non-stop, its needle spinning continuously.
Seeing this, everyone’s eyes revealed shock.
"Second Sister-in-law, this compass of yours, is it like the Tianyan Calculation Plate—a Pathfinding Eyedotting Compass forged by the same master craftsman at the same time?"
Huo Xing’Er nodded. "That’s right. Although this item was forged by the same master craftsman as the Tianyan Calculation Plate, it’s said to be no ordinary Magical Treasure. It’s highly likely already approaching the level of a Divine Artifact."
Divine Artifact or Magical Treasure, Ji Youyuan, already a Grand Master, could still discern some clues with a visual inspection.
"This item possesses considerable spirituality. Judging by its behavior, could it be trying to lead us somewhere?"
At Ji Youyuan’s words, Huo Xing’Er’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"I... I’ve finally understood today. It seems any good thing I have, once it falls into this girl’s hands, no longer belongs to me."
Thinking about the Tianyan Calculation Mirror from before, then looking at the Pathfinding Eyedotting Compass, a Divine Artifact, in her hand now.
Huo Xing’Er felt a pang in her chest.
Ji Youyuan was laughing uncontrollably.
"Let’s go! We worked in vain all last night, so I hope this thing won’t disappoint us this time!"
Huo Xing’Er quickly tried to put the little girl down, but Xiaosuisui stubbornly clung to Huo Xing’Er’s neck, refusing to let go.
"Suisui, be good. Second Aunt has important things to do and needs to leave. You stay here with Eldest Aunt and Maternal Grandma, alright? Second Aunt will play with you when she returns."
Xiaosuisui didn’t move; she merely pouted and didn’t say a word.
Huo Xing’Er’s heart softened. Maybe I should take her along?
Old Madam Ji reached out and took her. "Suisui, be a good girl. Your Second Aunt is going out to handle important matters. If you go with them, they might get distracted, and that could lead to serious trouble."
Serious trouble because of me?
Xiaosuisui remembered what her Second Uncle had said when he scolded her.
Everyone doted on her, indulged her. She was just a four-and-a-half-year-old little child. Her recklessness would sooner or later bring harm to everyone.
For some reason, Xiaosuisui recalled her time with the Li Family, and the looks on their faces when they dealt with her.
They called her a jinx, saying she was born to bring disaster to their old Li Family, and so on...
The little girl pursed her lips tightly. Her hands unconsciously loosened their grip, and she reached out for her Maternal Grandmother’s embrace.
"Go on! Be careful!" Old Madam Ji admonished them, then, holding Xiaosuisui, watched them depart.
「At the entrance of the County Yamen.」
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, you must seek justice for us all! Please, I beg you, find those damnable child abductors and help us get our children back!"
Cold sweat trickled continuously down the County Magistrate’s forehead.
He really was unlucky. For three years, ever since arriving in Xun’an County, he had been diligent and conscientious. Now, just as his term was about to end, a mass child abduction case, with many children disappearing overnight, had occurred.
"Fellow villagers, please return home for now. Not only am I, your County Magistrate, investigating this case, but the Prefect from the Prefecture has also dispatched men to look into it. Rest assured, as soon as there’s any news, we will immediately send someone to inform you."
The County Magistrate kept urging them until his mouth was dry and his voice hoarse.
"County Magistrate, you must keep your word and find these children! You must understand, among these children, one was born on the very day the auspicious sign from heaven appeared four years ago! She carries great fortune! If this child is lost, it might affect the national destiny of our Great Han!"
Someone’s voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, delivering this long speech in one breath.
Hearing these words, the County Magistrate’s legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Wh-what? The child blessed with great fortune, born when the auspicious sign from heaven appeared—she’s among these children too?"
