Ji Zhao felt that her tone was already very gentle, but the young boy in front of her still widened his eyes in horror. Then, right on the heels of that, he shrunk his neck back. His pitch-black eyes were glistening like an innocent deer that had barged into a tiger’s den.

“Don’t be afraid.” Ji Zhao lowered her tone and asked softly, “It doesn’t matter even if you drank all the pork ribs soup. We won’t blame you. I’m just a little curious. You’ve been sitting in the hall and didn’t go to the kitchen at all. How did you drink so much soup?”

A bold guess surfaced in Ji Zhao’s heart, and she did not dare to think further.

The young boy, who was sitting obediently on the bench, looked up at her blankly and helplessly. In the end, he nodded gently.

As long as he wanted it, he could get it immediately.

This was also the reason why he could survive after being locked in the secret room for so long.

Ji Zhao felt a little dazed. Could this young boy really have telekenesis?

She looked back in disbelief at Shen Yao, who was also silent. After exchanging glances with each other, the couple did not know what to say.

Such an ability was really rare!

“I remember that there are still some shaobings© from now on?”

As soon as Ji Zhao finished speaking, the young boy, no, Xiao Jiu, nodded obediently.

After settling Xiao Jiu down, Ji Zhao turned around and returned to his room. At that moment, Shen Yao had just finished making the bed.

“Are you still thinking about Xiao Jiu’s identity?” Looking at her worried expression, Shen Yao went behind her and gently pressed her temples with both hands as he asked softly.

“Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded. “Shen Yao, who do you think Xiao Jiu is? He looks younger than Chcnchen, but he actually has such a special ability? He has telekenesis!”

Unfortunately, Xiao Jiu could not speak.

“We’ll ask Senior to help take a look tomorrow.” Shen Yao comforted her softly. “Since we found Xiao Jiu in the wine cellar, this is also fate between us and Xiao Jiu.”

“That’s true.” Ji Zhao immediately nodded. She believed in fate.

Perhaps it was fate that they were able to save Xiao Jiu?

“Sleep early.” Shen Yao smiled and said gently, “Don’t you still have to go to Spring Breeze Pavilion tomorrow morning?”

“Yes, yes!” Ji Zhao nodded hurriedly.

Spring Breeze Pavilion was about to open. She had to conserve her energy before she could properly prepare these things!

Not long after, Ji Zhao fell asleep.

Listening to her steady and sweet breathing, Shen Yao raised his eyebrows helplessly.

His little wife was really open-minded!

However, this was also good. If she kept too many things in her heart, it would make her tired.

The next morning, when Immortal Crane arrived at Peach Blossom Cottage, he smelled a strong fragrance.

Peach Blossom Cottage was a name Shen Yao had specially given to his and Ji Zhao’s small courtyard. He had even specially hung a small square plaque on the door at the side. The words Peach Blossom Cottage were written on it. It was handsome and powerful, and it was especially eye-catching.

“This fragrance? What kind of soup is this?” As early as an hour ago, Immortal Crane had already tasted the prefecture capital’s famous Shao Family wontons. However, at this moment, he felt that the wontons he had just eaten had been digested. After all, the fragrance that entered his nose was too tempting!

“Master, you’re here?” Hearing that familiar voice, Ji Zhao hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and welcomed him with a smile. “My mother went to the market this morning to buy some mutton bones. She’s making mutton soup now. Master, have you eaten? If you haven’t, I’ll bring you a bowl of mutton soup later.”

Immortal Crane immediately nodded. “It smells quite good. If there’s any extra, give me a bowl too!”

“Okay,” Ji Zhao agreed with a bright smile.

Fifteen minutes later, Immortal Crane looked at Xiao Jiu and frowned slightly. “Open your mouth.”

However, Xiao Jiu hid behind Shen Yao nervously.

Speaking of which, it was strange. Yesterday, when Xiao Jiu faced Shen Yao and Ji Zhao, he was still a little wary, but now, he was reliant on them.

“Xiao Jiu, be good.” Shen Yao quickly comforted him. “Don’t be nervous. Senior doesn’t mean any harm.”

In the end, Xiao Jiu obediently opened his mouth.

A moment later, Immortal Crane said in a deep voice, “This child is not mute. He just doesn’t know how to speak.”

There were no abnormalities in his pulse. Even his throat showed no signs of damage.

This meant he was definitely not mute.

“Thank you, Master.” At that moment, Ji Zhao walked in with mutton and vermicelli soup. She smiled gratefully at Immortal Crane. “Master, eat first!”

Xiao Jiu stared at the bowl of mutton vermicelli soup in Ji Zhao’s hand and could not help but swallow.

“Don’t worry.” Ji Zhao looked up and smiled at Xiao Jiu. “I’ll get you a bowl later.”

The mutton soup that had been stewed for two hours was fragrant and rich.

The sweet potato vermicelli was chewy and smooth.

Not only was the mutton that Ji Zhao had processed not smelly, but it also retained the original fragrance of meat. In addition, there were also green onions sprinkled on the top of the broth. Just looking at it made one’s appetite increase.

Even Immortal Crane, who had already eaten wontons, could not help but eat two bowls of mutton vermicelli soup in a row!

Immortal Crane burped twice in a row. In the end, he looked up at Xiao Jiu, who was still eating, and said enviously, “It’s good to be young. No matter how much you eat, you won’t feel bloated!”

However, the moment he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong.

“He’s already eaten four bowls, right? Why isn’t he full yet?” Immortal Crane asked with a frown.

“Master, Xiao Jiu drank an entire jar of pork rib soup alone last night…” Ji Zhao quickly said, “I also find it strange!”

Do you want to eat them?” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and said to the young boy in front of her.

The young boy didn’t say anything and just nodded obediently. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes as he looked at Ji Zhao.

“Then you can get it yourself?” Ji Zhao probed. “Just sit here. Can you get it?”

The young boy said nothing.

Ji Zhao turned around and glanced at Shen Yao.

In the blink of an eye, a shaobing really appeared out of thin air in the young boy’s hand

“I’m afraid we can’t send him to Ci’an Hall for the time being.” After a long silence, Shen Yao, who was frowning, said in a low voice, “We still don’t know the identity of this young man, and he has such a strange ability. If we send him to Ci’an Hall, I’m afraid it will cause trouble…”

“That’s right.” Ji Zhao agreed with Shen Yao’s concerns.

After the couple’s discussion, they decided to keep this young boy first.

“Do you still remember your name?” Ji Zhao looked at the uneasy young boy and bent down slightly to look at him with a gentle smile.

The young boy still shook his head and did not speak.

“Since we found you in the wine cellar, can we call you Xiao Jiu[2. ‘Xiao’ for ‘Little’, and ‘Jiu’ as a homonym for the Chinese word for ‘wine’..
