With Zhao Zhao by Ye's side, the grumpy boy felt much better.

Even when dealing with the piles of government affairs on his desk, there was no trace of impatience on his handsome face.

His serious gaze paused on the notebook Xiyan handed over, and his eyes trembled.

Zhao Zhao lowered his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

A few years ago, Ye would often come to him for problems that he couldn't handle.

But as time passed and Ye grew up, he never asked himself for solutions again.

Ye stepped back slightly to signal Zhao Zhao to come closer. The fresh fragrance lingered at his nose, and he suddenly stared blankly at the exquisite profile in a trance.

"Is that what you mean?"

After Zhao Zhao read through the text quickly, he distanced himself from the two people's close bodies.

"Um."

Xiyan suggested to Ye that Zhaozhao leave the palace and formally take over the power of the four elders of the Phoenix clan and perform his duties.

Ye and Yue have grown up and are able to stand on their own. They no longer need Zhao Zhao's guidance and help, so there is no need for Zhao Zhao to stay in the palace.

"Master Ye Feng, I promised the previous Master Feng what I would do to take care of you until you grow up. I have done it."

"So, you're leaving without any regrets?"

"Yes, I still have things to do."

Zhao Zhao frowned. As the fourth elder, he had focused almost all his energy on Ye and Yue over the years, but he had not fulfilled his obligations to the Phoenix Clan.

He hopes that Ye and Yue will become more and more outstanding, and he also hopes that the Feng clan will prosper and the clan members will live and work in peace and contentment.

The atmosphere in the study was solemn, and Zhao Zhao and Yu Ye were facing each other silently.

Facing those red eyes, Zhao Zhao was the first to look away: "After leaving the palace, I hope you and Yue can still live in harmony."

The clear voice floated in the air, but no one responded.

"No matter what happens, you two brothers should unite together to build the Phoenix Clan and protect your people."

After a pause, he continued, "I don't want what happened the day before yesterday to happen again between you two." He rarely used such a tough tone, but this time, in order to make Ye remember it, he had to be fierce.

"I've taught you all these years, don't let me down again."

"Bang!"

Zhao Zhao froze, thinking Ye was angry.

Turning around, he found that Ye had smashed the Phoenix Seal heavily on Xi Yan's words. With a loud bang, a deep Phoenix seal was imprinted on it.

He agreed with Xiyan's suggestion and was indeed angry.

Looking to the other side with his angular profile, Ye closed his eyes and said word by word: "If you want to leave, leave quickly."

He has always been the most obedient and respectful of Zhao Zhao's opinions, isn't he?

When he walked out of the study, Zhao Zhao found Xi Yan according to the guidance of his spiritual power.

He was still sitting in the garden admiring the scenery, and the enchanting man turned his head and smiled sweetly.

"Bad mood?"

"Who made our precious little one angry?"

Zhao Zhao's expression remained unchanged throughout the entire process, and he silently said, "No, you're mistaken."

Xiyan stood up, seeing through it but not saying it out loud.

Zhao Zhao walked out of Ye's study. It was obvious who had provoked Zhao Zhao.

She walked slowly to his side and patted his head lovingly.

"The two Phoenix Lords, Ye and Yue, are so annoying."

"Look, our Zhao Zhao has dark circles under her eyes from all the hard work she's done for these two people."

Heartache flashed in his deep purple eyes, and he said, "I have suggested to the Phoenix Lord that you leave the palace. What do you think?"

"...I have no objection, and Lord Ye Feng also agrees."

"Huh?" Surprise flashed across Xi Yan's face: "Ye agreed?! He actually agreed to it?"

He laughed softly. He thought that with Yi Ye's personality and possessiveness, this matter would last for a long time.

"How is it? Are you happy that you are finally free?" Xi Yan asked in a mean way.

Zhao Zhao shook his head and said, "No." He looked a little confused about Xi Yan's words. What was there for him to be happy about?

"I thought you wanted to get rid of it." Xi Yan chuckled.

Recently, he always noticed that Zhao Zhao unconsciously revealed his anxiety and fatigue when facing the two Phoenix Lords.

Xiyan felt sorry for Zhaozhao and naturally didn't want to make things difficult for her.

Zhao Zhao shook his head: "I have never thought about getting rid of anything."

Xi Yan's voice was gentle: "But you have been uneasy recently, especially when facing Ye and Yue."

"I feel sorry for you."

The gentle voice lingered in his ears, and the tips of the boy's ears felt slightly hot. He looked at the elder who had taken care of him since he was a child. His voice continued: "I thought you didn't want to stay in the palace, so I passed the proposal to Ye."

Zhao Zhao really didn't expect Xi Yan to care about him so much.

He was indeed a little confused during this period, but it was only because he didn't have much time left.

"So Zhao Zhao, what are you thinking? Do you still want to leave the palace?"

Zhao Zhao came back to his senses and met those deep purple eyes. He was the only one in those deep eyes.

He nodded seriously: "I want to leave the palace."

Not only to fulfill the duties of the fourth elder, but also to take this opportunity to observe Ye and Yue's reactions.

I hope Ye and Yue won’t let me down.

He silently repeated this sentence again.
