Grandpa Phoenix has already heard about Little Phoenix and Emperor Fusheng's secret engagement.
The reason he called Little Phoenix back this time, citing illness, was because the Emperor had reminded him.
"I will not lay a hand on any member of the Phoenix Clan, but I cannot guarantee that I will not accidentally harm her."
There is only one little bird, Yuandan, in the phoenix enclosure on Fusheng Mountain.
It is self-evident who the prince was warning with these words.
"Alas, Grandpa Phoenix is getting old." Grandpa Phoenix sighed softly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to witness Little Yuandan's wedding."
"Grandpa Phoenix, you're not old at all."
"How about you stay at Phoenix Mountain for a few more days to spend with Grandpa during the New Year's holiday?"
Little Phoenix hesitated for a moment, but after hearing Grandpa Phoenix cough twice, she immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay."

After staying at Phoenix Mountain for several days, and with Grandpa Phoenix's condition improving, Little Phoenix wanted to return to Floating Life Mountain.
But Grandpa Phoenix always used the "bitter trick" to soften her heart, so Little Phoenix had no choice but to stay for a few more days.
But these past few days, she has felt somewhat uneasy.
Finally, Little Phoenix had no choice but to sneak out of Phoenix Mountain on her own. She made up her mind to go back and discuss with Mo Qi about bringing Grandpa Phoenix to Fusheng Mountain, otherwise Grandpa Phoenix's illness would not get better if he stayed on Phoenix Mountain.
After breaking through the barrier, the little phoenix looked at the once frozen Fusheng Mountain, which had returned to its former state, and showed a puzzled expression.
Is Qi Zhi in a bad mood again?
Also, why is Mount Fusheng so quiet?
Little Phoenix's unease grew stronger. She was in a hurry to see Mo Qi, so she didn't look closely and didn't notice the signs of a struggle on the ground.
But when Little Phoenix arrived at the Floating Life Palace, she didn't see a single person.
"Sorrow? Sorrow?"
Little Phoenix searched the entire Floating Life Palace, and when she arrived at the bamboo forest behind it, she was immediately stunned.
All the bamboo in the bamboo forest had died.
Everything has a cycle of life and death, and bamboo is no exception. However, the bamboo nurtured on Fusheng Mountain, because of the presence of Mo Qi, will never wither or die for ten thousand years.
But now, all these bamboos are dead.
There's only one possibility: something happened to the owner of Fusheng Mountain.
The little phoenix quickly transformed into a bird and went to find the Old Man of the Moon to ask him for clarification. Before she could even fly out of the Floating Life Palace, a red sword flew straight towards her.
The little phoenix quickly turned to the side, then landed and transformed into human form, with the red sword landing in her hand.
At this moment, Jin Jin, who had been waiting for her return at Fusheng Mountain, also arrived.
"Silly Phoenix, why are you only coming back now?" Jin Jin looked a bit disheveled, with many feathers missing from her wings.
Little Phoenix: "Jin Jin, where's Qi Zhi? What happened?"
"Your Majesty..." Jin Jin hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Little Phoenix asked anxiously, "What happened? Tell me!"
"Come with me."
Jin Jin led the way, while the little phoenix, holding a sword, could not transform back into its bird form and had to follow behind in human form.
Mount Fusheng is actually much larger than Little Phoenix knew, and the true location of the sundial is not in the Fusheng Palace.
The sundial in the training room is just a microcosm.
Upon arriving at the entrance of a dark cave, Jin Jin stopped: "The Emperor is inside."
Little Phoenix, carrying her sword, stepped forward and called out towards the cave entrance, "Qi Zhi!"
Before Jin Jin could say anything more, she saw the little phoenix walk directly into the cave.
"Silly Phoenix, wait!"
Jin Jin quickly transformed into human form and grabbed her, thus preventing the little phoenix from falling into the air.
The cave entrance disappeared, leaving only a long cloud ladder, with a celestial soldier guarding every five steps.
"Emperor Fusheng is currently in seclusion. Please return," the heavenly soldier guarding the first step said expressionlessly.
The little phoenix's eyes turned cold: "Does seclusion require so many people to guard it?"
Worried that she might act impulsively, Jinjin whispered, "Let's go find the Old Man of the Moon first."
