Chapter 1654: Hand in Hand for Life 62

up on the next batch of supplies to guarantee a continuous food supply. Only then can we solidify our strength and stabilize the army's morale."Du Guling's analysis left the soldiers silent. It was ea...Compared to Feng Lingxi's composure, the Grand Elder kept glancing at Feng Lingxi's carriage from time to time, fearing that she would reveal the injustices suffered by the Yao Clan. But considering he was on his own turf, the Grand Elder straightened his spine once more.

Luo Li and Dugu Cheng rode side by side. This was his first time entering the Yaozu of the Ghost Saint Kingdom. Last time, Luo Li brought Wan'er back, but he couldn't enter. This time, he did. Looking at the Yaozu, which resembled an idyllic paradise, with not a single trace of human habitation or smoke and fire, it was breathtakingly beautiful, like a dream.

Can anyone know, this place, just like that, is a place that eats people and doesn't spit out their bones.

Upon arriving at the Yao people's dwelling, a place nestled amidst towering mountains, they found themselves in awe. Palaces soared majestically, resembling celestial palaces, perched atop the mountain peaks. A veil of white mist hung heavy in the air, and an ethereal aura permeated the surroundings.

"This Yao tribe is so beautiful."

獨孤城 opened his mouth, for the first time seeing the entirety of Yaozu. He had to say, this place truly resembled a hidden palace, in no way inferior to the grandeur of the Great Yuan Dynasty capital.

"It's alright, I've seen too much, nothing special."

Luo Li turned over and dismounted, "Come on, I'll take you up to have a look."

Dugu Cheng took the child from the carriage. The three children saw the Yaozu palace, Feng Siqi excitedly jumped up, her eyes darted back and forth, as if admiring a palace.

Wan'er, on the other hand, was watching this scene with a cold eye. In her memory, this place wasn't like this. She only knew the temple, and she hadn't looked here closely either.

"Wǎn'ěr, why don't you leave"

Luoli walked to Wan'er's side. This girl had grown into a graceful young woman, but there was too much coldness in her eyes. He knew she still remembered the past. After all, Wan'er's intelligence back then had stumped even the elders.

"Sister, he's talking to you, why aren't you answering him"

Feng Siqi took Wan'er's hand and whispered, "Did he deceive you before That's why you don't want to see him"

Wan'er remained silent. Feng Siqi, speaking to herself, said, "Then we won't pay him any mind. We have our father anyway, so we don't need a master like that."

Luo Li's lips twitched slightly, watching Feng Siqi answer herself. Looking at the cold-faced Wan'er, these two sisters really weren't alike at all.

"Wǎn'er, don't be afraid."

Dugu Cheng spoke up to soothe, "Father and Mother are here."

Wan'er looked at Dugu City and nodded.

Luo Li watched Wan'er nod, his heart inexplicably tightening. Had he scared this child Looking at her now, from the moment they met, Wan'er hadn't smiled once.

"Wan'er, I..."

Before she could finish her explanation, the Grand Elder and the other elders arrived with Lu's wife and the others. She had no choice but to keep quiet and wait for a suitable opportunity to explain to her later.

"Master Lu, Madam Lu, I have already had people clean up your accommodations. I will lead everyone there to rest for a bit, and we will have dinner together later."

"Elder, where does Xi'er reside Let us live with her."

Mrs. Lu spoke up, “This Yao Clan's house is as big as a palace. It's so vast that it's inconvenient for us to communicate.”

"The Lord's dwelling place is the temple, which has been the residence of every Lord throughout the ages. As long as the Lord agrees, I have no objections, naturally."

Feng Lingxi nodded, “Then let’s stay in the Holy Temple. There are vacant rooms there, and it will be more convenient for us to communicate. Moreover, we need to make haste and settle things properly. They are all very busy, and once everything is dealt with, it will also be good to send them down the mountain.”

The Grand Elder's previous displeasure vanished in an instant upon hearing Feng Lingxi's words. So she too was eager to open the gates of the Holy Land, then let her have her way.

"Then we shall do as the Lord wills, though it may be a hardship for all of you."

"I wouldn't feel wronged living with Xi'er."

Mrs. Lu smiled, holding Feng Lingxi's hand, "In my heart, she is like a daughter to me. As long as she doesn't mind, I can live anywhere."

"Thank you, madam. Xi'er is deeply honored."

Feng Lingxi knew that Lady Lu was doing this to help her, declaring her importance within the Lu family.

"Well then, go reside in the temple, all of you."

The Grand Elder greeted them with a smile and led them to the Temple. This temple was the most sacred place for the Yao Clan, and it was also where every Saint Master resided. Since the ancestors of the Yao Clan, no one had been allowed to live in this place at will. If anyone other than the descendants of the Saint Master lived in the Temple, something would inevitably happen. Therefore, even if they had the heart to move in, they dared not risk it and could only live outside the Temple.

"Madam, please."

Feng Lingxi, accompanied by Lu Fu, went to the Holy Temple. Thinking about it, she found it quite amusing. As the Saint Lord, she had been in Yaozu for so long, but this was her first time seeing the full picture of their tribe.

A group of people went to the temple. Along the way, Dugu City never relaxed. He discovered that the terrain of the Yao clan was not complicated, but there was something strange about it. He couldn't say exactly what it was.

"My Lords, this is the temple. Rest here in the Lord's presence. The rooms are being prepared and cleaned, and you may enter later."

"Thank you, Elder."

Mrs. Lu spoke first, and the Grand Elder addressed Feng Lingxi, saying, "The Holy Master will greet all distinguished guests first. I will go and arrange accommodation and have the kitchen prepare a meal."

"Thank you, Grand Elder."

The High Elder nodded toward them and then, leading his retinue, withdrew. Lo-li did not leave, but sat with them. After the handmaidens served tea, their people filled the entire sanctuary.

"Mother, is this where you live"

Feng Siyu curiously asked, "Is that Great Elder in charge here"

Feng Lingxi glanced at Luoli and explained, "The Great Elder is the elder of the Yao clan, managing all affairs, big and small. Your mother has been staying here for a while."

"This Yao clan looks like a palace, but it's not as good as a real palace at all."

Feng Siyu looked at Dugu City, "Right"

Dugu Cheng nodded, "This is the Yao clan's territory, not the Imperial Palace. It's naturally different. As long as your mother is well, everything else doesn't matter."

"Xier, honestly tell me, is there no one bullying you here"

Mrs. Lu's eyes showed disbelief. She had noticed that ever since they entered the Yao Clan, someone had been watching them every step of the way. Every move they made was scrutinized. This feeling was truly extremely unpleasant.

"Pretty good, don't I look alright"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "Don't worry, this time I brought you here to help me. I want to finish this as soon as possible and don't want to go back to Yaozu."

"If you need anything, just ask."

Li Nian quickly answered, "Little sister, you have to know, Big Brother can do anything for you."

Feng Lingxi smiled, "I didn't bring you here to fight. I just need your help to open the gate to the Holy Land. Lu family's Bai Liuli, and the purple star on me."

What about us

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi, what use did he and the child haveit, doesn't mean they think that way either. To eliminate their threat, they will stop at nothing. No wonder the Emperor said there is no true trust in the imperial family.Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Cit...
