Chapter 2572 Side Story 76: Know
A rumor had recently surfaced in the Fantasy Divine Palace: Goddess Yue was planning to help her legendary fiend, the red-gold heavenly phoenix phoenix clan's young mistress—Yi Tuan—find a spouse.
Everyone knew that this person had followed Goddess Yue through life and death for many years and was deeply doted on by her.
Now that she had grown up, she was bright and charming, lively, and cute.
She was at the most likable age.
In the open and in the dark, many people admired this person. Now that the news of marriage was out, everyone naturally moved when they heard the news.
As expected…
Not long later, news really spread—
Half a month later, in front of the Fantasy Divine Hall, Goddess Yue and the Emperor personally presided over the abbot's marriage recruitment. To be more accurate, it was a competition to find a wife.
However, it didn't specify that one had to take first place. Those who entered the top ten had the right to exchange blows with Tuan Zi.
She could choose the one she liked the most as her future husband.
For a moment, countless people were tempted.
…
Bam!
A low sound was heard in the room, and even the ground shook.
Zi Chen stepped past the doorstep and felt this extraordinary fluctuation, but his expression didn't change. He only paused for a moment before continuing forward with a normal expression.
Inside the room, Chu Liuyue was reclining on the couch with one hand supporting her chin in a relaxed manner.
Rong Xiaoyan and Rong Xiaoxun were both there.
Rong Xiaoxun sat on the floor with a hammer in his arms.
He had grabbed the hammer and smashed it against the ground earlier.
The child didn't know how to control his strength. This time, he directly smashed the ground until it shook, and even his small body bounced up.
His small butt hurt a little from the shaking, and even his round body trembled.
He was wearing a silver-white shirt today. At a glance, he looked like a white meatball.
This shock caused him to be dazed, and he instinctively looked at Chu Liuyue. He pouted and was about to cry in grievance.
Wuwuwu, it hurts!
Chu Liuyue: "…"
She expressionlessly glanced at the hammer in Rong Xiaoxun's hands. "I've long said that this belongs to your Uncle Si Jing. You're still young and can't touch it easily. Do you regret it now?"
Speaking of which, Rong Xiaoxun just unintentionally saw the heavy and stern hammer two days ago, so he excitedly wanted to play with it.
Si Jing let it slide and immediately left it behind.
Fortunately, the floor was extremely hard, and she had even specially set up a barrier. Otherwise, she might not have been able to withstand his torture.
Rong Xiaoxun knew that he was in the wrong, so he secretly turned his head away.
On the other side, Rong Xiaoyan was sitting obediently beside her and staring seriously at a silver-red Xuan formation in front of him. Every chess piece on it had an indescribably powerful aura.
He was just over a year old, but he had already displayed extremely shocking talent in cultivation.
He was never interested in ordinary toys, but he once unintentionally saw Chu Liuyue setting up a Xuan formation and liked it very much.
Seeing that he liked it, Chu Liuyue didn't hold herself back. When she was free, she would draw out a few Xuan formations to coax him.
The standard of this Xuan formation wasn't low, especially when it was made by her—it was natural and domineering. However, Rong Xiaoyan could stare at it for a long time. Not only was he not uncomfortable at all, but his eyes were also sparkling.
Hearing the commotion, he didn't turn around. He just stretched out his small hand and tapped a certain spot on the Xuan formation.
The lines were like water ripples that rippled gently.
Boom!
An even stronger fluctuation exploded in all directions!
Chu Liuyue was long prepared. With a flick of her finger, a barrier enveloped her and instantly gathered the exploding energy.
However, Rong Xiaoxun turned around, and his eyes were filled with excitement and expectations, clearly asking for praise. My performance this time is much better than the previous time!
Chu Liuyue: "…"
She was a little worried. Is the Fantasy Divine Hall enough for the two of them to open?
At this point, Zi Chen had already arrived in front of Chu Liuyue.
"Master." He bowed respectfully.
Rong Xiaoyan and Rong Xiaoxun looked elated when they saw him.
However, Chu Liuyue didn't move as she glanced at him in a seemingly smiling manner. "Zi Chen, you're really capable."
Zi Chen was silent for a moment and finally laughed helplessly. "What happened previously was Zi Chen's fault, but… That was indeed what Zi Chen asked for."
Chu Liuyue rarely saw him show his emotions like this.
Previously, he hid it deeply, and she was busy, so she didn't pay much attention to it. In the end—
"Tuan Zi is still young," she said.
Zi Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. "But you're already planning to find a husband for her, aren't you?"
Chu Liuyue tapped her fingers lightly.
Zi Chen furrowed his glabella slightly between the brows. "You… refuse to agree?"
Chu Liuyue snorted and glanced at him. "Originally, there was an age restriction in the rules of the competition."
Zi Chen instantly froze.
"If I really refuse to give you any chance, you won't even have the right to compete."
He then heaved a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a while, he seemed to have fallen into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly said in a low voice, "…Back then, I was young, frivolous, and extremely proud. When I just became an adult, I forcefully took the position of legendary three-eyed eagle clan leader. Later on, after a few experiences, I either hibernated or was dead, so I spent a thousand years in a daze."
"I've experienced too many life-and-death situations. Compared to her innocence and purity, I'm not worthy. But—" He paused for a moment. Every word seemed to be repeatedly thought for a long time before he finally spat it out. "This is the first time I've had such thoughts."
Chu Liuyue's brows moved slightly. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Then, why did you let Tuan Zi chase you so hard? I'm afraid she doesn't know your thoughts."
Zi Chen nodded. "I'll let her know."
