Seeing her great-grandfather's embarrassment, Xiao Yuan quickly stepped in to smooth things over and changed the subject, saying, "Great-grandfather, the people inside the crystal ball must be really bored. Let them out quickly."
"Yes, yes, release them first, release them first."
Ji Fanya and the others also wanted to see the phoenixes flying throughout the entire space; it would surely be a magnificent spectacle, and they all chimed in with their agreement.
"this…"
To everyone's surprise, Feng Xuanqi sighed softly and said, "I also hope to release all my clansmen as soon as possible so that they can live in this vast new world. Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow it, and we will have to wait for some time."
"wait?"
Upon hearing this, everyone asked in confusion, "Why wait? If you want to come out, can't you do it right away?"
"Yes, great-grandfather, why do we have to wait?"
Xiao Yuan was also puzzled. "I haven't seen them for several days, and I miss them so much."
"Little Kite, do you still remember why your great-grandfather wouldn't let you enter into slumber with him?"
Feng Xuanqi stroked Xiao Yuan's head and asked kindly.
"Well, my great-grandfather said it's because I'm the youngest and not suitable to go inside the crystal ball."
Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "But in our clan, I am clearly not the youngest. Great-grandfather is lying to me."
Haha, why didn't you expose me back then?
Feng Xuanqi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and tapped Xiao Yuan's little nose.
"Of course, my great-grandfather is one of us."
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, she glanced at Jun Yu somewhat guiltily and said, "Back then, I wasn't familiar with you yet, little brother."
"You little rascal." Jun Yu smiled helplessly.
"In fact, the truth is that the outer shell of this crystal ball is the barrier of the sacred parasol tree."
At this moment, Feng Xuanqi's expression turned serious as he said, "Enhancing the seal is easy; all you need is enough energy. However, breaking the seal is very difficult, at least not yet."
"How can I open it?"
Xiao Yuan thought for a moment, then looked at Feng Xuanqi and said, "Grandpa, do you need Xiao Yuan's help? Please just say the word, Xiao Yuan is willing."
"Little Kite is indeed clever and does need your help, but you're not ready yet."
Feng Xuanqi sighed and said, "Only the royal bloodline of my Phoenix Clan can open the barrier of the Wutong Sacred Tree, and that person is you, Xiao Yuan. Unfortunately, you are still too weak and cannot withstand the absorption of the sealing energy. If you force it open, you will only end up with your soul scattered."
"So that's how it is..."
After listening, Xiao Yuan finally understood. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Then... how long will it take for me to grow up?"
"ten years."
Feng Xuanqi said, "In ten years, you will be eighty-one years old. At that time, you should be able to barely withstand the backlash."
"Ten years, that's still so long..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan said somewhat dejectedly, "Then won't Uncle and Aunt be locked up for a long time? They're so weak right now, can they hold on?"
"Then we can only leave it to fate."
At this point, Feng Xuanqi's eyes were clearly heavy, and he couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known that there would be a day when we would be rescued, I shouldn't have sent your sister away back then. If she were here, the two of you could have minimized the backlash by working together. Even though you are still young, you could have done it."
"elder sister…"
