Zhu Xiuxiu's words were like a clap of thunder, startling everyone.
All eyes instantly fell on Xiaosuisui.
"Sweetheart! Can you really hear people talking from very far away?"
Ji Youcheng stared intently at Xiaosuisui, his eyes shining.
Xiaosuisui blinked at her handsome Third Uncle. "Third Uncle, how far away do you mean?"
It seemed that if she calmed herself and concentrated, just as Eldest Uncle had said, by focusing all her attention on her ears, she could hear sounds from very, very far away.
"For example, try to hear the people in the next courtyard! See if you can hear them!"
Ji Youcheng looked at her expectantly.
"I can!"
Xiaosuisui affirmed without a second thought.
"Impossible. Even I can't hear what's happening in the neighboring courtyard. How could you possibly hear it?"
Ji Youcheng was skeptical.
"It's true!"
The little girl held her chin high. "I already heard what my Godfather Emperor and Seventh Uncle were saying."
