CHAPTER 350: CHAPTER 350: LIVING FOSSIL OF THE PLANT KINGDOM

Tuanzi is particularly good at grasping the key points.

She doesn’t care about things like ’hitting someone in the street’, but she cares about her reputation as a Little Heroine.

If someone calls her a little entertainer, she wouldn’t actually be happy. But if they call her a Little Heroine, she’d be particularly delighted, and even make a heart gesture for you.

"Is Miaomiao really already so famous?"

Tuanzi stretched out her chubby little paw and grabbed Gu Cheng’s coat hem. Her slightly round and downturned eyes made her look round-eyed and round-faced, staring at Gu Cheng.

"In ancient times, we used ’famous’ to describe great heroes~"

Can she transform from a Little Heroine to a world-renowned great hero?

Gu Cheng helplessly patted her little head.

"Indeed, you are famous now. When traditional martial arts are mentioned, who doesn’t know you?"

As I said, there are quite a few outstanding martial artists, but firstly, there aren’t many promotional channels, and secondly, although they are impressive, they lack some eye-catching elements.

His sister’s emergence only compensates for these shortcomings. At a very young age, she not only knows some moves but has also learned Inner Strength, capable of flying over roofs and walls and casually performing Grass Flying or Water Floating.

Moreover, his sister’s promotional channels are too many, occasionally appearing on parenting variety shows, and the quality of these programs is quite good, making everyone happy and thus remembering martial arts as well.

Because his sister lives in Jiang City, both the Jiang City Martial Arts Association and the Provincial Martial Arts Association in Jiang City’s province seized the opportunity to vigorously develop. Also, the old president of the National Martial Arts Association is creating opportunities for Tuanzi to participate in more shows while picking some promising young talents to introduce them to the world.

As for the old president and these seniors, they mainly play a behind-the-scenes role. Gu Cheng can understand this approach; the old president just hopes that the young people will train hard to break through and eventually take the baton.

If only the older generation is strong, a discontinuity will soon emerge. Only by nurturing the young generation will there be an endless cycle of successors.

Afraid of affecting his sister’s mindset, many matters are discussed directly with him by several presidents and not exposed to his sister, preventing her from knowing the struggles and efforts behind the scenes.

Just as President Ye Danxin said.

"Seeing Miaomiao happy every day, occasionally showing off to advertise, we old men are happy too!"

Seeing his sister grinning foolishly, Gu Cheng pinched her soft little cheek.

"Besides, your second brother doesn’t say anything primarily because similar incidents happen frequently. He doesn’t care, so why make you care?"

Tuanzi instantly was not happy.

"But Miaomiao will worry!"

She felt a bit upset, "What if, while Miaomiao is eating, drinking, and being merry, second brother is being targeted, and thinking about this, Miaomiao won’t eat or sleep well."

Gu Cheng thought, it’s precisely because he is afraid that you won’t eat or sleep well that he doesn’t say it.

Thinking about it, Gu Cheng gave an example.

"When you used to wander the Jianghu, did you encounter enemies who would fall with a wave of your sleeve?"

"Of course!"

Tuanzi proudly puffed out her chest, "Miaomiao is very powerful. The master is amazing, and she taught a powerful Miaomiao!"

She happily gestured, "Once a mountain bandit blocked the road, perhaps thinking we were easy to bully, speaking rudely, and was even disrespectful to the master. Miaomiao just needed to flick her fingers, and he was down!"

Gu Cheng followed up, "Did what he said, or did, affect you?"

Tuanzi thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Would you keep thinking about them afterwards?"

Tuanzi shook her head vigorously without even thinking.

"Of course not! Such people aren’t worth it!"

Her head is only so big, and it must be filled with important people, important martial arts, and all kinds of delicious food, with no space left for those people.

Gu Cheng chuckled lightly, "In your second brother’s eyes, those people are just minor characters. He doesn’t care and naturally doesn’t want you to care, because it’s unnecessary."

Tuanzi reasoned it out and nodded her little head.

"Makes sense."

She was initially very angry, annoyed that there are always people trying to harm her second brother, but later she felt upset, thinking we’re family, yet second brother didn’t say anything when something happened.

Now, after the big brother’s guidance, she feels it’s not a big deal and doesn’t need to be mentioned.

"But if something really important happens, you must tell Miaomiao!"

Gu Cheng nodded and then urged her back to her room to sleep.

Tuanzi obediently agreed, but when she turned around, she suddenly realized something.

"Wait, previously when second brother had something happen, you pretended not to notice even though you were quite angry; why are you so calm this time?"

She slowly squinted her eyes.

"When Miaomiao talked about it, you weren’t surprised either, as if it wasn’t the first time you heard about it."

The conclusion is, the big brother already knew!

Tuanzi jumped up, "No wonder you were so calm! Why does second brother tell you and not me?"

The topic circled back again.

Gu Cheng rubbed his forehead, seeing his sister puff up her cheeks in anger, and thought of an explanation.

"Because I have more free time."

"Huh?"

"I have more time, so it doesn’t matter if I’m upset for a while, but you are burdened with important duties, right?"

Tuanzi thought about it and agreed, waving her small hand, "Alright then, I forgive you guys."

The system watching the whole process just wanted to say, Host, you’re too easy to fool!

Remembering it had also fooled the host once, the system kept silent.

If Gu Cheng was exposed, it wouldn’t escape either.

The easy-to-fool Tuanzi obediently went back to sleep.

The next day, she woke up full of energy.

Her heavy responsibilities include patrolling the mountain and promoting martial arts well.

Promoting martial arts starts with performing a roll using Qinggong over the branches.

Under the envious gaze of the children, Tuanzi leaped from this tree to that tree, looking just like a happy little bird.

Infected by her emotions, the audience was also amused.

Happiness is contagious.

The joyful little bird flew along the mountain patrol route, noticed a tree taller than the surrounding ones, and planned to rest its feet over there.

Only when she got closer did she realize she couldn’t casually rest on this tree.

She adjusted the sports camera on her head.

"This looks like a Pigeon Tree, very precious."

Some of the audience didn’t understand, and someone immediately explained.

[Gongtong, a living fossil in the plant world, also known as the Pigeon Tree, is a relic plant from the Neogene period of ten million years ago, a treasure among eight nationally protected first-class key plants]

[A wild Gongtong that is so tall, it must have many years, right?]

[Its flowers are so beautiful, Miaomiao, can we see a long view?]

[The person ahead must be silly; Miaomiao can’t see the bullet screen]

[Eh, why is the camera getting closer and closer? What is Miaomiao doing?]

[Wait, look at the part not far from the ground, isn’t that a cut mark?]

[Oh heck, it’s cut so deeply! After a long time, will this tree die?]

[Who would be so excessive?]

[I’ve heard before, some people deliberately go into the mountains, mark the trees they fancy, and once the trees are dead, they can openly step forward to acquire them. Because many areas don’t allow trees to be felled, but ’naturally dead’ trees can be bought and sold. Gongtong is a premium building material, so it’s no wonder someone would covet it]

[But this is a wild one, and there are fewer and fewer wild ones; they all represent history!]

Tuanzi noticed that this was obviously a man-made cut and rushed off in a huff, soon finding Forester Mr. Li.

She gestured.

"A Pigeon Tree has been cut, and the cut is this deep!"

Mr. Li’s face changed color.

"Isn’t there a few large rock formations nearby?"

Tuanzi nodded.

Mr. Li’s expression became even grimmer.

"The age of that tree is already over five hundred years."
