Chapter 2560 Side Story 64: His Patience Isn't Only For Me
Tuan Zi was stunned. She subconsciously said, "Because... he's very busy! Grandpa Miao Zhen specially invited him to Godly Dragon Island. I think it should be something important!"
Yi Ming thought for a moment and found it strange. He questioned, "You're the young mistress, and you've opened your ninth meridian. There are many things in the clan that need to rely on you, but even so, you're not so busy that your feet don't even touch the ground. Zi Chen... is still the legendary three-eyed eagle clan leader after all. He doesn't belong to the great phoenix dragon clan. What matter can cause him to be so worried?"
Tuan Zi was stunned.
Before this, she really didn't think of this.
She had indeed not heard that anything major had happened on Godly Dragon Island. Besides, with Zi Chen's identity, no one should be able to force him to do anything. Then... what had he been busy with for the past three months?
Although Godly Phoenix Mountain and Godly Dragon Island were very far apart, with Zi Chen's true strength, it wouldn't take too much time to make a round trip.
Tuan Zi's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Could it be that... Zi Chen has really encountered some trouble? Otherwise, there is really no reason for Zi Chen not to send any news after so long!
She started to worry.
BBut in the eyes of Yi Ming and the others, they only thought that she was angry at Zi Chen.
Yi Ming was silent for a moment before advising, "I just casually said it, so don't mind what I said—"
Tuan Zi looked at him in a daze and was rather confused. "Mind what?"
Yi Ming choked. He suddenly didn't know how to say the rest.
Originally, he thought that Tuan Zi would definitely be dissatisfied with Zi Chen after hearing those words, but... It didn't seem to be the case?
Tuan Zi said righteously, "He didn't come. He must've been delayed by something!"
The young girl's voice was crisp and clear. Her face was bright, and her eyes were filled with absolute trust and dependence.
Such an expression and attitude was only because that person was Zi Chen.
Yi Ming felt inexplicably suffocated.
In actual fact, he had heard this name countless times from Tuan Zi's mouth during this period of time.
All of them knew very clearly that Zi Chen was very important to Tuan Zi, and this understanding gradually deepened after interacting with Tuan Zi day after day. n)(OvElbIn
Gradually, Yi Ming felt that Tuan Zi's trust and dependence were too heavy.
Of course, they were all Goddess Yue's legendary fiends and had experienced too much together, so it was understandable that they had a deep relationship. However, Yi Ming vaguely realized that this didn't seem... good.
Tuan Zi placed almost all her feelings on Goddess Yue and Zi Chen. There was no need to mention Goddess Yue, but Zi Chen—
If she continued like this, it would be very hard for others to move her heart and walk into her heart. That was because there were only so many ways to pursue a young girl.
If he wanted to win her heart, he had to gain her trust and dependence. However, Tuan Zi had already given all of this to Zi Chen.
To everyone, Zi Chen was like Tuan Zi's senior and also her brother. However, that wasn't the true relationship between them.
One had to know that the two of them had an agreement with Goddess Yue. This also meant that their statuses were equal!
Tuan Zi had said it herself. When she first met Zi Chen, she had fought with him countless times. But later on, when their relationship became good, it gradually turned from an intense battle to a match of convenience.
How could their relationship be described as a simple senior and junior relationship?
As for taking care of her... It was only because Tuan Zi was naive that Zi Chen did more things for her.
All in all, it was actually to protect Tuan Zi.
However, Tuan Zi was definitely not an ignorant child. She had been by Goddess Yue's side, so what had she not seen and understood?
Her experience was much richer and more complicated than many adults a long time ago! However, Goddess Yue and Zi Chen still doted on her like a child and protected her.
What could this be? It could only be because he doted on her too much.
On the brink of death, Zi Chen had saved Tuan Zi's life.
As usual, Zi Chen took care of her meticulously.
All the storms were stopped and protected her heart like a crystal, clean and clear.
The most important thing was that she had grown up.
One day, she would like someone, and her unwavering trust in Zi Chen was a wall in front of all her other suitors. Of course, that included him.
Although Yi Ming was young, he was also extremely smart.
When he previously came to look for Tuan Zi, he was almost always rejected.
Zi Chen had simply solved a big issue with little effort to deal with him. At that time, he actually felt that something was wrong.
But now, Zi Chen had disappeared for three months without coming, making him waver again. He felt that perhaps he was really thinking too much?
Zi Chen should really be out of the mentality of a father, brother, and elder, treating everyone who pursued Tuan Zi as enemies.
However, seeing Tuan Zi's attitude, he felt a little uneasy.
Even if Zi Chen doesn't have such thoughts, what about Tuan Zi? The moment she is free, the first thing she thinks of is still Goddess Yue and Zi Chen. This is too passive.
As Yi Ming thought, he finally said, "Tuan Zi, I heard that Fantasy Divine Palace is very big and beautiful. I haven't been there before, and I want to take a look. Can I go with you?"
When Tuan Zi heard this, she was instantly interested and hurriedly nodded. "Okay!"
As she spoke, she surveyed her surroundings excitedly. "Everyone, if you want to go, let's go together! I'll bring you around!"
That's my territory!
Hearing this, everyone was excited.
Fantasy Divine Palace—they had only heard of it before, but they had never been there. Now that Tuan Zi had taken the initiative to invite her... This opportunity was rare, so they naturally couldn't miss it!
"Okay! We'll go with you then!"
"Will this disturb—"
"No, no!" Tuan Zi laughed heartily. "Let's go together!"
Yi Ming was a little surprised, but this seemed to be good. Anyway, he believed that sincerity made the world go round.
As long as he stayed by Tuan Zi's side longer, he still had a lot of hope and would wait for her to realize his feelings for her.
...
The next day, the group of them followed Tuan Zi back to Fantasy Divine Palace.
Apart from Yi Ming, there were still four people, two men and two women. They were all outstanding figures among the younger generation of the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan.
Yi Fu was one of them.
Everyone wasn't slow. Under Tuan Zi's leadership, they quickly arrived.
After passing the Heaven Gate, Tuan Zi wasn't in a hurry to bring people to the Fantasy Divine Hall. Instead, she brought them along the Star Path and walked forward bit by bit.
As she walked, she introduced the surrounding scenery.
Yi Ming and the others were still young after all, and their eyes were filled with unconcealable excitement and curiosity.
Suddenly, Yi Fu was stunned and looked ahead. "Tuan Zi, isn't that Zi Chen?"
"What?" Tuan Zi was stunned and instinctively turned around to look.
From afar, a familiar figure came into view. Even if she only saw his back view, she still recognized at a glance that it was Zi Chen.
Tuan Zi was a little confused. Isn't he on Godly Dragon Island? When did he return to the Fantasy Divine Hall? I actually... didn't know at all?
She subconsciously wanted to call him, but she suddenly noticed that there was someone else beside Zi Chen.
She was slender, and the corners of her dress fluttered.
It was a girl.
She was standing very close to Zi Chen, almost next to him. She looked up as if she was saying something.
One could vaguely see her beautiful side profile.
Zi Chen stood quietly, listening to her. He was very patient.
