A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 753 - 700: Was There Ever Hope?

The newly rescued villagers immediately started to worry.

They looked at Xiaosuisui with pitiful eyes, asking her where she had heard all this.

Xiaosuisui, quite helpless, rubbed her small head, giggled, and said,

"What if I told you that I’m not actually some reclusive master, but the Eldest Princess of Great Han? Would you believe me?"

Though Suisui had learned the mind-reading technique, she understood very little about the hearts of people. This was especially true in the Jianghu, where she had no experience whatsoever in guarding against the deceitfulness of human nature.

So at that moment, facing the villagers’ incredulous questioning, she quite naturally revealed her identity.

"What?"

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief as they stared intently at Xiaosuisui.

"The... The Eldest Princess of Great Han?"

People looked at each other, their eyes filled with incredulity.

Some even reached up to rub their ears, thinking they had misheard.

"That’s right! She truly is the Eldest Princess of Great Han. Everything she said just now is true."

Finally, someone’s gaze shifted to Yun Kuo, their eyes full of questions, as if seeking a definitive answer from him.

So Yun Kuo stated very firmly,

"Actually, what we told you before was a lie. We didn’t just happen to encounter you while traveling.

The truth is, we came here specifically to find you."

The villagers exchanged bewildered glances, doubting if what they had heard was real.

"Find... us?"

Mrs. Niu, as if grasping a crucial point, rose from her seat. She walked step by step towards Yun Kuo, her eyes fixed on him.

"Benefactor, you’ve saved so many of us, and we are truly grateful to you.

But what you’ve said is such a shock; there’s so much we can’t understand.

Could you perhaps explain things a little more clearly, Benefactor?"

At Mrs. Niu’s words, Yun Kuo couldn’t help but sigh. His gaze immediately fell upon Xiaosuisui as he said,

"I don’t know much about this matter. Why don’t you ask Suisui?"

Yun Kuo was telling the truth; he indeed didn’t know much.

However, not a single person present believed him.

"Benefactor, please don’t joke with us. Young Benefactor is so little; a child her age can barely speak a full sentence. What could she possibly say?

Please, Benefactor, tell us the truth!

What exactly has happened?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Niu looked as if she was about to kneel before Yun Kuo.

"Please, Benefactor, tell this old woman!

This old woman will kneel to you!"

Seeing Mrs. Niu like this, Yun Kuo was greatly alarmed. He quickly helped her up, saying,

"Mrs. Niu, please don’t do this! I truly don’t know much about this. Xiaosuisui is the one involved. You might not know this, but not only is she the Eldest Princess of Great Han, she’s also Old General Ji’s granddaughter!"

"Benefactor, is what you say true?

Young Benefactor... she... she’s the granddaughter of Old General Ji, Great Han’s Guardian Deity?"

Hearing the words "Guardian Deity," everyone couldn’t help but turn their gazes towards Xiaosuisui.

The expressions on their faces were all incredibly excited, their eyes burning with an intense fervor.

"Wh-why... why are you all looking at me like that?"

Xiaosuisui felt a chill creep up her spine under their stares. She couldn’t shake the feeling that they were looking at her as if she were some kind of brilliantly glowing, precious treasure!

"I never imagined that Young Benefactor would be the Guardian Deity’s granddaughter! This is truly unexpected!

In the blink of an eye..."

Mrs. Niu’s words abruptly stopped.

"What about ’in the blink of an eye’?"

Xiaosuisui was completely bewildered, so she couldn’t help but ask.

"What year is it now?" Mrs. Niu then asked.

Which year?

Xiaosuisui blinked, not quite understanding. She looked towards Yun Kuo for help.

Yun Kuo was also stumped at this moment. He wasn’t from the Central Plains, so as for Great Han, he didn’t know the current...

"What? Benefactor, don’t tell me you don’t even know the reign era of Great Han?"

The scholar’s wife couldn’t help but sigh. "Young Benefactor is just too young. Things like reign eras, perhaps her family hasn’t had a chance to teach her yet."

Xiaosuisui nodded silently. My uncles and aunts indeed never taught me.

Being young is such a convenient excuse, she thought. Not knowing the reign era, and people still help find reasons for it.
