Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 591 The Elder Doesn't Want to Take Care of the Child 33

Upon learning that Zhaozhao was about to leave the palace, Yue initially thought someone was joking with him.

After realizing what was happening, he immediately rushed out to look for Zhao Zhao, but there was no trace of him within the palace grounds.

So, they rushed into Ye's study.

A terrifying mental force surged towards Ye like a tidal wave. Ye, who had been standing there in a daze at his desk, instantly stood up. His dark eyes were deep: "Yue, do you want to die?"

I instinctively clenched my fist, wanting to punch him, but in my mind, Zhao Zhao's words, "Don't let me down," started playing on repeat.

Warn his thoughts and restrain his behavior.

"Grass!"

When Yue walked up to him, the mental pressure she felt was like a boulder, and a trace of blood couldn't help but flow from the corner of her mouth.

Upon seeing that dazzling color, Yue's chaotic heart calmed down slightly. He forcefully lifted Ye's chin, his pure gold eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

The bloodstains on her chin were wiped clean by her fair fingers.

Yue's voice was gentle, but her eyes were full of coldness: "Brother was wrong. I didn't control my mental power well and hurt you."

"Shh, keep quiet and don't make a sound." He didn't want Zhao Zhao to find out that he had hurt Ye again.

Ye pushed him away forcefully, while Yue just stared at him with a forced smile.

"Is Zhaozhao leaving the palace?"

"roll!"

Ye didn't want to say another word. He turned to leave, but Yue refused to move aside no matter what.

"I heard you agreed to it?!"

Towards the end, the forced gentleness in her voice sounded somewhat grating.

Ye pushed him away impatiently and yelled, "Yes, so what if I agreed?!"

"Zhao Zhao doesn't want to see you at all, don't you know that? Why do you keep going up to him?!"

Yue's spiritual power was about to burst forth again: "You're talking nonsense! He said he likes me the most!"

I felt terribly upset, but the bird in front of me was still going crazy!

Ye broke down. Zhao Zhao had never said he liked him, but he had said it to Yue.

"Zhao Zhao clearly didn't want to see you! It's all your fault for making him leave!!!"

The two blamed each other and loathed each other, but neither of them, who had a good temper, dared to lay a hand on the other at that moment.

Yue refused to stay there and stare at Ye any longer, and stormed out again.

The side braid that Zhao Zhao had braided for him in the morning came undone as he ran, and his cascading hair flew through the air.

Suddenly, he sensed something, and a look of surprise flashed in his pure gold eyes.

Just as he was about to spread his wings, Xi Yan's figure appeared in front of him.

The First Elder smiled with a devilish and carefree air: "Phoenix Lord Yue, there are some matters within the clan that require your attention."

"Can we wait a moment? I have something urgent to attend to." Yue maintained a polite smile, but her mind had already wandered elsewhere.

"This is something Zhaozhao entrusted to you."

Yue paused in her smile before turning her gaze to Xi Yan's face.

The still handsome old phoenix gave a forced smile; clearly, he didn't want him to go find Zhao Zhao.

......

After Ye gave the order, Zhao Zhao immediately left the palace.

The sturdy gate to the royal palace opened for a moment, then immediately closed again after Zhao Zhao stepped out.

Zhao Zhao turned around, her emerald green eyes staring straight at the majestic palace on the mountaintop and the pale red barrier.

When the former Phoenix Lord was still alive, Ye, who was still a cub, was lively, active, and disobedient. He often sneaked out of the palace to play and even left the Phoenix Clan several times.

Given Yue's plight and the plot's warnings, Zhao Zhao suggested to the former Phoenix Lord that a sturdy barrier be set up in the royal palace.

Therefore, restrictions were placed on who could enter and exit.

The pale red barrier enveloped the royal palace for nearly a hundred years, remaining steadfast even fifty years after the Phoenix Lord's departure.

Zhao Zhao returned to the elder's residence, which she hadn't visited in decades. The dusty furniture was magically cleaned and looked brand new again.

In the quiet courtyard, the flowers and plants are growing very well and are full of vitality.

"Knock knock knock."

A familiar voice came through, carrying an easily noticeable excitement and joy.

Zhao Zhao opened the door and instantly found herself in a warm and welcoming embrace.

"My little one, you've finally come out of the palace! I've missed you so much!" Nan Yu was tall, making Zhao Zhao in his arms look as petite as a bird nestled in his arms.

He was dressed in a magnificent yellow and white robe, his features were distinct and deep, exuding a heroic air, and when he smiled, he appeared exceptionally kind.

Nan Yu's position kept him closely connected with the outside world. After the Royal Palace barrier was opened, he rarely came to the Royal Palace on the mountaintop, and his meetings with Zhao Zhao were also very infrequent.

"If I don't go in, Zhao Zhao, you never come out to look for me?" Nan Yu asked with a resentful tone. Zhao Zhao smiled and apologized, "I'm sorry, it was my fault."

How could Nan Yu bear to blame him? He was too worried about Zhao Zhao, who was busy in the palace.

Now that he has learned that Zhao Zhao has finally left the palace, he is overjoyed.

"Come on, come on, it's rare for us to get together, I'll take you out to play," just like before, whenever he had time, he still thought about taking Zhaozhao out to play.

Zhao Zhao paused, then released Nan Yu's hand: "Sorry, I have to hand over my work later."

"Do you have time tomorrow?"

Zhao Zhao hesitated, then said, "Let's talk about it later."

He didn't come out of the palace just to play around.

Nan Yu wasn't disappointed when he heard this. He patted Zhao Zhao's head and smiled with satisfaction, "Zhao Zhao has grown up and can shoulder so many responsibilities. That's great!"

"Let's play together again next time, there's plenty of time."

Before leaving, he reminded me, "Take good care of yourself, and don't forget to rest while you're working."

Zhao Zhao stood in front of the door, watching his departing figure for a long time without coming back to her senses.

.......

"The Fox Emperor's birthday is approaching. You should send these gifts to him as a birthday greeting."

Zhao Zhao sat in his private study handling affairs, and personally selected two precious, top-quality gemstones to send out.

The spirit bird waiting nearby didn't understand: "Fourth Elder, we haven't had any contact with the Fox Clan for hundreds of years. Isn't sending gifts redundant?"

"It is precisely because we have been separated for so long that we should take this opportunity to get back to each other."

The Phoenix Clan is now having very few newborns, resulting in a dwindling offspring and a significant decline in strength. If they were to sever ties with other races at this time, it would be entirely detrimental.

"Send it out."

Zhao Zhao was still thinking about trading with other races when Bai Yu's elegant, snow-white figure walked in.

He stood up, a faint smile appearing on his face: "Second Elder."

Bai Yu smiled gently at him and said, "You've been working hard lately."

“It’s alright,” a servant served tea. Bai Yu didn’t linger to reminisce, and simply said, “Recently, Phoenix Lord Yue and Phoenix Lord Ye have been cultivating very diligently.”

"This is a good thing." Zhao Zhao said maturely, taking a sip of tea.

Bai Yu's gentle brows furrowed: "No, these two seem to be competing in their cultivation, determined to determine who is stronger no matter what."

"Moreover, the cultivation method is extremely extreme, often resulting in injuries to the body."

She spends most of her time in the royal palace, and Yue and Ye also seek her treatment when they are unwell, but lately the two of them have been visiting her far too frequently.

Xi Yan and she couldn't persuade the two of them, so she took advantage of this trip away from the palace to explain the matter to Zhao Zhao.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhao's lowered eyes remained closed for a long time without blinking.

This is the first time I've heard news of Yue and Ye since leaving the royal palace a month ago. It would be a lie to say I don't miss them.

"They're fighting again?"
