2534 Side Story 38: Wake Up
Tuan Zi looked up at him curiously. “Why are you looking for me?”
When she spoke, her big black grape-like eyes flickered, and her voice was crisp and sweet.
Yi Ming’s face inexplicably heated up under her gaze. “N-nothing much. It’s just that… the clan leader gave us a portion of the barrier to repair, but it’s almost time, and there’s still a lot of progress to go, so… everyone wants you to help guide us.”
Although Yi Zhao had already tried his best to protect Godly Phoenix Mountain to the greatest extent, quite a bit of damage was caused during the riot back then, including the barrier of Godly Phoenix Mountain.
Yi Zhao joined forces with the other elders to be in charge of most of it. The remaining small portion was left for the juniors in the clan, wanting to use this opportunity to temper and increase their strength.
As the young mistress, Tuan Zi had the purest bloodline and had already opened all nine meridians. It was naturally easy for her to deal with these things.
Yi Ming and the others were too embarrassed to ask the elders for help, so they came to ask Tuan Zi.
Hearing this, Tuan Zi nodded in agreement without thinking. “Okay!”
As she spoke, she carefully put away the ball of light and jumped down from the stone stool. “Then, let’s go over now!”
Yi Ming heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and the smile on his face relaxed a lot.
In the beginning, they didn’t want to come and ask Tuan Zi for help. Young people were young and ambitious after all. They always had a little pride and wanted to rely on their own strength to solve all the problems.
It was a pity that the barrier was too complicated. They studied it for a long time and used many methods, but in the end, they only failed again and again.
Helpless, everyone could only compromise.
However, someone had to be the representative when it came to begging. Besides, it was to beg Tuan Zi.
She was younger than them, but her status was very noble. Naturally, they had some fear and respect in their hearts and didn’t dare to come over.
Everyone chose and finally decided to let Yi Ming do it.
Originally, he was also very embarrassed, but he didn’t expect Tuan Zi to be much more lively and intimate than he had expected. Other than her identity and bloodline, she really didn’t seem any different from an ordinary lady.
Yi Ming felt more at ease and was also a little curious about this young mistress.
His gaze landed on her chubby hand, and he asked, “The one inside should be—”
Tuan Zi nodded. “It’s Zi Chen!”
Everyone knew about this. When someone asked, she admitted it frankly.
Yi Ming recalled how she had quietly guarded this ball of light just now, and his heart skipped a beat.
Anyone could tell that Tuan Zi was lively and active, but she had great patience when guarding Zi Chen and waiting for him to wake up.
Tuan Zi raised her chin and looked delighted. “Of course! Zi Chen and I have a life-and-death relationship!”
A few years ago, she had been working hard to defeat Zi Chen and be the boss. But after this series of events, she had already changed her strategy. As long as Zi Chen was fine, she could follow him!
Yi Ming looked at her energetic appearance and smiled.
…
Under Yi Ming’s leadership, the two of them quickly arrived at another mountain peak.
About ten young men and women were standing in the middle of the mountain. They were all the youngest existences in the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan.
Seeing Yi Ming and Tuan Zi arrive, everyone was faintly excited. “Young Mistress is here!”
“He’s actually so fast? It seems like Yi Ming didn’t spend much effort to invite Young Mistress over!”
“I knew it. Young Mistress is pure and active. She’d definitely be willing to help!”
As they spoke, Tuan Zi’s figure flashed, and she was already in front of them.
“Greetings, Young Mistress.” The crowd bowed in unison.
Tuan Zi waved her small hand and chuckled. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble! You can just call me Tuan Zi like Yi Ming!”
The crowd was rather shocked and secretly exchanged glances.
Even though Tuan Zi had already returned for a period of time, she spent most of her time with the clan leader, the elders, and the rest, or she was busy with her own residence and rarely stayed with them.
They didn’t expect her to be so carefree in private.
Some people looked at Yi Ming.
Among them, Yi Ming was the most outstanding one. Most of the time, they used Yi Ming as their backbone.
Yi Ming laughed and pointed ahead. “Tuan Zi, look—this is the portion of the barrier that the clan leader asked us to repair. The damage isn’t especially serious, but it’s very complicated to repair. We tried many times, but we didn’t succeed.”
Hearing that he did call her that, everyone immediately felt much more at ease. This young mistress looks very easy to get along with.
Tuan Zi looked in the direction he was pointing. “Oh, you’re talking about this!”
She went on her toes and arrived in front of the barrier.
She was petite and looked even smaller in front of the barrier, but when she took action, everyone immediately realized how strong she was!
She raised her small hand and drew a few streams of light in midair. The next moment, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Force seemed to be led by this stream of light and silently surged over. Even the entire barrier shook gently.
Right on the heels of that, the few streams of light overturned the damage and quickly transformed into more illusionary light, forming a strange pattern.
A thick and shocking suppression faintly exuded from within.
In no time, the damaged barrier gradually recovered under everyone’s shocked gazes!
Gasps could be heard.
Tuan Zi clapped her hands. “There, that’s it. But since Clan Leader Grandpa said that he wants you to deal with it, I’ll repair this small piece! I’ll leave the rest to you, is that okay?”
Of course, no one would object.
Tuan Zi’s previous demonstration had already given them great inspiration.
Yi Ming gave her a thumbs-up. “Tuan Zi, you’re amazing.”
Once he said this, the crowd started praising her. “That’s right, that’s right! So this method can be used. We actually didn’t think of it before!”
“I really have to thank Tuan Zi!”
“Tuan Zi, do you think I’m doing this right?”
The red-gold heavenly phoenix clan had always reached adulthood by the age of 100. Once they transformed into human form, they would look at least 15 or 16 years old. There was really no one like Tuan Zi, who looked like she was four or five years old.
It was precisely because of this that everyone was even more curious about her.
During the period when Tuan Zi came back, she had long become the focus of everyone’s discussions. But because of her status as the young mistress, no one dared to approach her.
Now that they came into contact with her, they realized that she didn’t put on any airs at all. After all, she was still young, so everyone quickly warmed up to her.
Tuan Zi nodded with a smile.
Suddenly, a ripple came from her arms.
She was shocked and hurriedly took out the ball of light.
Inside, light circulated, and the aura was rapidly intensifying!
