"I've often heard people say that you can foresee things like a god. I wonder if you can guess why I'm looking for you?"
Chu Hai said, "If I'm not wrong, you're looking for the Eighth Prince."
Jiujiu said, "Since you know, why did you ask just now?"
Chu Hai said, "I've foreseen that someone would come looking for me today because of the Eighth Prince, but I didn't foresee that the person who would come looking for me would be you."
After all, Jiujiu looked like she was only eight years old. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chu Hai wouldn't have believed that Jiujiu was the person who came looking for him because of the Eighth Prince.
Thinking of her own appearance, Jiujiu's mouth twitched. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't expect you to really know how to foresee things. You're not a swindler."
Chu Hai smiled faintly. "Of course I'm not."
Jiujiu nodded. "Since you can foresee that I'm here for the Eighth Prince, can you help me send the Eighth Prince to where he should go?"
"Of course."
Chu Hai looked down at Jiujiu and smiled faintly. "Shouldn't you bring the Eighth Prince here? He must be scared out of his wits."
Thinking of Wang Yiqiu's expression when she left, Jiujiu chuckled. "Okay."
Jiujiu jumped onto the wall again and quickly left.
When Chu Hai saw Jiujiu's nimble movements, a faint smile appeared in his eyes. He turned and walked into the kitchen.
The State Preceptor, who was like an immortal in the eyes of outsiders, had now become an ordinary chef, washing his hands in the kitchen and making soup.
After Jiujiu quickly arrived at the inn, she called Uncle Niu and Wang Yiqiu and drove the carriage directly to the State Preceptor's residence.
When the three of them arrived, Chu Hai was standing at the door waiting for them.
Uncle Niu called for the carriage to stop. Jiujiu lifted the curtain and saw Chu Hai standing at the door waiting for them. She chuckled. "How did you know that I'm here?"
Chu Hai smiled faintly. "Miss, don't you know why I know?"
Jiujiu instantly choked on Chu Hai's words. After a moment of silence, she said, "You're really a troll."
After following Jiujiu, when she saw Jiujiu's words to Chu Hai, her face instantly turned pale. She hurriedly tugged Jiujiu's sleeves and whispered, "Jiujiu, don't be disrespect the State Preceptor.....
"It's okay. He's not angry." Jiujiu patted Wang Yiqiu's shoulder comfortingly. She looked at Chu Hai with a smile and asked, "Will you be angry?"
Chu Hai smiled faintly. "Of course not. How can I be angry with you?"
Jiujiu tilted her head and looked at Wang Yiqiu. "See, I already said that he won't be angry."
Wang Yiqiu was speechless.
Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu alighted from the carriage.
Uncle Niu, who had sent Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu to their destination, naturally had to return home.
Thinking of how Uncle Niu had taken care of her and Wang Yiqiu along the way, Jiujiu directly took out a gold bar from her pocket and handed it to Uncle Niu. "Uncle Niu, thank you for taking care of me along the way. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Uncle Niu doesn't dislike it."
Although Uncle Niu had taken care of Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu along the way, in reality, Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu had also taken care of Uncle Niu.
Uncle Niu had driven a carriage many times, but it was the first time that he had met someone who treated him as well as Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu.
Along the way, he didn't stay in a low-class woodshed, and he didn't eat coarse rations. Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu stayed in a high-class room, and he also stayed in a high-class room. He also ate whatever Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu ate.
A few days ago, Jiujiu even specially bought him a new set of clothes.
Although his son and daughter had already settled down and started their own careers, Uncle Niu was used to being thrifty. Moreover, if he wasn't driving a carriage, he would be working in the fields. Other than when he visited his relatives and friends during the New Year, he didn't have any new clothes to wear.

On the other hand, not only did Jiujiu bring him good food and accommodation, she even bought him new clothes. Uncle Niu had already decided that this trip would be free of charge.
However, he didn't expect that not only did Jiujiu give him money, but she also gave him so much money. It really surprised him.
Uncle Niu looked at Jiujiu and said softly, "Isn't this a little too much?"
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "Uncle Niu and I are still young, and it's our first time going out. If it weren't for you taking care of us, we wouldn't even know that we were sold. Uncle Niu deserves this. Don't you think so, Little Qiu?"
Wang Yiqiu nodded.
Uncle Niu rubbed his hands on his clothes. After a long time, he finally hardened his heart and nodded. "If that's the case, then I'll accept it."
Uncle Niu put the gold bar into his pocket. Looking at Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu, his eyes instantly reddened. He choked out, "Since you're here, then I'll go back."
"Uncle Niu, be careful on your way back. Ask someone to send us a letter when you arrive. When I'm free, I'll go back to see you," Jiujiu said with a smile.
Regardless of whether Jiujiu would visit him or not, this sentence made Uncle Niu's eyes redden.
Jiujiu rubbed her eyes. Looking at Jiujiu, she said, "Don't worry, Miss. I'll ask someone to write you a letter when I get back."
Watching the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, Jiujiu turned her head to Chu Hai and said, "Send someone to protect Uncle Niu."
Although Jiujiu's tone was commanding, Chu Hai was not angry at all. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Chu Hai's tolerant attitude made Wang Yiqiu's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
Regardless of whether it was the imperial bodyguards or her grandfather, the state preceptor was a very dignified person. His attitude towards Jiujiu was simply unheard of.
When she followed Chu Hai into the house and saw the table full of food, Jiujiu said in surprise, "You made this."
There was no one else in the courtyard. Chu Hai could only have made this himself.
Chu Hai said, "I wonder if it's to Miss's liking."
Jiujiu looked at the delectable dishes. "It looks so good. I don't think it'll be too bad."
After Jiujiu sat down, Chu Hai immediately went to the kitchen to get rice.
Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu each had a bowl of rice. Chu Hai then scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Jiujiu.
"Drink some chicken soup to warm your body."
Jiujiu picked up the spoon and took a sip. Her eyes instantly lit up.
Jiujiu had eaten countless delicious food, but this was the first time she had eaten chicken soup as delicious as Chu Hai's. Chu Hai's culinary skills were too good.
Jiujiu finished the chicken soup in one gulp. Then, she quickly ate her meal.
Even Jiujiu thought it was delicious. Wang Yiqiu was no exception.
Even though she kept telling Wang Yiqiu to maintain her image in front of Chu Hai, in the end, she couldn't control herself and ate with Jiujiu.
Chu Hai, on the other hand, was like a kind elder. He looked at Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu with a gentle smile. From time to time, he would pick up food for Jiujiu with his chopsticks. It could be said that he was very gentle.
After eating and drinking to their fill, when it was time to rest at night, Chu Hai directly gave his own bed to her. Then, she took Chu Hai to sleep on the floor.
Looking at Chu Hai, who was sleeping on the floor like her, Wang Yiqiu had mixed feelings.
After a good night's sleep, the next day, Chu Hai took Wang Yiqiu and Jiujiu to the palace.
Chu Hai, who hadn't come out for a long time, entered the palace. The Emperor immediately received him personally.
