The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler - Chapter 2538 - 2538 Side Story 42: Be Honest

2538 Side Story 42: Be Honest
Zi Chen discovered that more and more people came to play with Tuan Zi.

In the beginning, they were the youngest fifteen or sixteen year-old ladies. Slowly, more and more come.

Additionally, there were many young ladies.

Even though the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan’s bloodline was not prosperous, there were quite a few of them. As they had long lives, they could maintain their young appearance for quite some time.

After these ladies came, they didn’t frequently bring Tuan Zi out and stayed behind with Tuan Zi for half a day.

Of course, Zi Chen was also around, and they kept talking to Zi Chen from time to time.

Actually, they had many topics to talk to Zi Chen about.

He was the legendary three-eyed eagle clan leader, and he had half of Miao Zhen’s bloodline power. He was also Goddess Yue’s legendary three-eyed eagle.

With so many layers of halos, he was flawless. Even if he had always been humble and discreet, he could not hide the glory and pride that belonged to him.

Even the high and mighty red-gold heavenly phoenix clan admired and respected him.

It was a pity that Zi Chen was not interested.
His personality was very cold, and he rarely spoke. He was usually expressionless, and his entire body exuded a ‘don’t come near’ aura.

But the more he behaved in this manner, the more the ladies liked him. It was fine even if they sat together and took a few glances.

Zi Chen gradually became annoyed.

Today, another lady around eighteen or nineteen years old came. She was very pretty and gentle.

Tuan Zi pulled her over and excitedly introduced her to Zi Chen. “Zi Chen, This is Sister Yi Fu! She has been cultivating recently and just broke through yesterday. She has already opened her sixth meridian!”

This was a new black horse amongst the younger generation of the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan.

One had to know that other than Yi Zhao who previously opened his eighth meridian when he woke up, the most capable people out of the remaining clansmen was Yi Yu and the other elders who opened their sixth meridian.

Yi Fu was very young, but she had already achieved this. She was not to be underestimated.

Zi Chen sat at the front. Tuan Zi sat on his right, and Yi Fu sat on his left.

Tuan Zi swayed her legs and looked at Zi Chen while holding her chin. She continuously blinked. “Zi Chen, isn’t Sister Yi Fu amazing?”

Zi Chen picked up his teacup and sipped on it without speaking.

Sixth meridian… To an average person, it was indeed decent.

However, he was not average. He had experienced too much and would not take such a ‘genius’ into consideration.

In actual fact, as he woke up, Miao Zhen had already been led to open his eighth meridian. However, Tuan Zi did not know of this.

Yi Fu sat at the side. She glanced at Zi Chen, and her cheeks blushed slightly, while her heart beat quickly.

Recently, Zi Chen had been living at Godly Phoenix Mountain, and his name had spread far and wide. Although he spent most of his time here and did not go out, with Tuan Zi’s help, quite a few ladies had seen him.

He had an extraordinary appearance.

In the clan, those who were young had no charm, and those with charm had no looks.

The key was… his aura. Such a thing was arbitrary and could not be pinpointed.

Even if some people did not say a thing, they could stand at a side and be eye-catching. Zi Chen was coincidentally such a person. If not, the distinguished ladies of the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan would not willingly chase after him.

Yi Fu smiled shyly and did not take Zi Chen’s cold expression to heart.

During this period, they knew that Zi Chen behaved in such a manner. Other than his extraordinary patience toward Tuan Zi, he could not be bothered to speak to the rest.

“No, Tuan Zi is the best.”

Upon hearing this, before Tuan Zi said anything, Zi Chen continued speaking for once. “She is the best.”

Reincarnated, opened her ninth meridian, and experienced life and death with Goddess Yue. Such an existence was naturally worthy of this praise.

Tuan Zi was stunned. How did the topic get to me?

Yi Fu was shocked for a moment, but she quickly recovered her senses and went with Zi Chen’s praise. “Yeah, Tuan Zi has always been our dream goal.”

Before Tuan Zi could speak, Zi Chen nonchalantly said, “Then, you’re still quite far from this goal.”

“…”

Yi Fu’s face turned even redder. However, she wasn’t shy this time but embarrassed.

She was very smart and could tell what Zi Chen meant—he meant that she was not capable enough.

Ever since she opened her sixth meridian, her status in the clan rapidly improved, and she received praises everywhere. This was the first time someone told her to her face that she was not good enough.

The lady’s skin was thin, and she felt very awkward.

Tuan Zi was anxious from looking by the side. What’s going on? Sister Yi Fu is already the most outstanding one from the younger generation in the clan! She’s talented, has good looks, and has always been gentle. Why doesn’t Zi Chen like her?

Tuan Zi secretly clenched her fists. It’s okay! Zi Chen has always been alone and probably doesn’t know how to woo girls. I should try for him!

Thinking of this, Tuan Zi excitedly asked, “I heard that the flowers at Phoenix Godly Mountain are blooming soon. They bloom once in a hundred years, and it’s very beautiful! It’s a pity that they only bloom at night and only for 15 minutes. It’s very rare. Zi Chen, Sister Yi Fu, do you want to look at it together at night?”

“Okay—”

“No.” Before Yi Fu could finish, Zi Chen rejected without hesitation.

The area instantly fell silent.

Tuan Zi was dazed and crazily gave Zi Chen looks. What are you saying!? Quickly grab the opportunity!

Zi Chen glanced at her and understood. Then, his thin lips curled up into a smile.

He almost never smiled. Now, although it curved up at such a slight angle, it had the cold, impudent, and sinister aura.

This smile was bedazzling.

Tuan Zi knew that Zi Chen had been trapped in the Heavenly Square Cauldron for a thousand years. He was once very violent and cunning, but after he followed Chu Liuyue, he slowly lost his harshness.

However, it did leave behind some scars. Whatever that happened before left behind their marks.

Zi Chen usually hid it very well, but in actual fact, the depths of his heart was still…

Tuan Zi couldn’t pinpoint the feeling because Zi Chen had never treated her in such a manner. Now that she saw him reveal such an expression, she found it strange.

Then, she heard Zi Chen ask, “Miss Yi Fu, do you really want to go?”

Yi Fu’s originally defeated heart lit up again, and she looked at him with hope. “Yeah. That scenery is really rare…”

“If I were Miss Yi Fu, I wouldn’t waste my time and energy on such irrelevant matters. I’d work hard in cultivating to work toward my goal.”

His voice was nonchalant. He didn’t even look at her, as if he did not see her understanding expression. “If not, the difference will… just get bigger.”

He spoke calmly, but Yi Fu felt very awkward.

She stood up in panic and acknowledged Zi Chen’s words before leaving in a hurry.

Seeing her face flush red, Tuan Zi immediately wanted to chase after her. “Sister Yi Fu!”

Before she ran out, her collar was lifted.

“Yi Tuan.” The cold and low voice came from the top of her head.

This was the first time he called her by her full name.

“Be more honest.”
