you really not going to tell the Crown Princess what Luo Li said This month has passed by in the blink of an eye. What if he comes looking for the Crown Princess Will she blame you for not telling he..."Very good."

Lu's wife took Feng Lingxi's hand and looked her up and down, "Xi'er seems to have lost some weight again."

"Madam, a woman shouldn't be too fat, it's not attractive." Feng Lingxi spoke up, giving the Yao tribe some face and preventing Madam Lu from feeling like she was being mistreated in their territory.

"Mrs. Lu."

The Elder stepped forward to greet her. Lu's wife glanced at him, and the Elder quickly introduced himself, "I am the Grand Elder of the Yao Clan, this is the Chieftain of the Yao Clan."

Luoli nodded toward Lady Lu, "Lady Lu, it's been a long time."

"The clan chief is still young and handsome, looking much healthier than my son-in-law."

Dugu Cheng was named, considered to be seen by someone. Since Feng Lingxi entered, his gaze was on Xi'er. She had lost weight and her eyes were no longer as clear as before. Although she wore a smile on her face, there were many things different from the past in her eyes.

"Grand Elder, Fallen Clan Chief."

Alone City greeted softly, walked to Feng Ling Xi's face, "Xi'er, my husband came late."

Feng Lingxi leaned in and whispered, "Thank you for believing me."

A smile appeared on Dugu Cheng's handsome face. With just that one sentence, his heart was content.

"Madam, the Elder and the Chieftain came together to escort you to the Yao Clan. Please help us open the sacred land. When everything is done, the Elder will personally send you down the mountain." Feng Lingxi finished speaking and added, "Also, I will go down the mountain with you."

Mrs. Lu looked at the Great Elder and saw him hastily agree, "As the Holy Master said, this time we have troubled all of you to come and help, but the Yao clan will definitely escort you down the mountain and will not neglect you."

Lady Lu nodded. "Since Xier asked me to help, I would naturally do so. I hope the Grand Elder keeps his word."

"Of course not, our chief is here, absolutely not."

The Grand Elder hurriedly assured her, and Luo Li also chimed in, "Lady Lu, rest assured. Once the matter is resolved, we will immediately escort you all down the mountain. We will not cause you any trouble."

Since the Grand Elder and the Chieftain have both spoken, if I still refuse to go up the mountain, it would be disrespectful.

Mrs. Lu took Feng Lingxi's hand, "Xier, I have so many things to tell you, you have to sleep with me tonight."

"Good."

Feng Lingxi agreed readily, but looking at Dugu City and the three children's eyes, she felt embarrassed and chuckled. She was forced to agree after all; she couldn't refuse. Besides, she also had many things she wanted to say to Madam Lu.

"Grand Elder, my prince, along with my three children and these individuals who serve me, will also ascend the mountain." Dugu Cheng pointed at Sun Cheng and the retinue behind him, a carefully selected group of eight individuals. Including Sun Cheng and Ye Xi, there were a total of ten people.

"Elder, this is the man I told you about. He has to come with us. As for the others, Dugu City is a prince and used to being served. Just bring him along. With their help, finding gunpowder will be easier."

The elder dared not refuse at this time. If people didn't come, how could he open the gate of this holy land Besides, his territory could accommodate a few more people.

"No problem, it's all small things."

"I haven't brought many people with me, just my husband, my son, and a few servants."

Mrs. Lu was flanked by over ten maids and guards. After all, her status was noble, so it was normal to have people attend to her.

"No problem, when can we get started"

The elder accompanied by a smile, waited until he reached his territory. It was time for him to speak.

"Let's go now, and finish this quickly before we run out of time."

"Please, Madam Lu, and please, Prince Chen."

The Elder greeted everyone, anyone with eyes could see who spoke for the Yao clan. Though it seemed like a simple greeting, it was all orchestrated by the Elder.

One person got on the carriage. Feng Lingxi was riding with Madam Lu, and even the Great Elder didn't stop them, after all, he couldn't stop them.

"Xier, in the Yao clan, have you not been made difficult for"

"Don't worry, Lady Lu, I'm fine. This time, it was really hard to ask you all to come. After the gate of the holy land opens, I can be free and won't have to deal with the Yao clan anymore. The Grand Elder promised me."

All the people on this carriage are from the Lu family, but Feng Lingxi still speaks with restraint.

"These are all my people, don't be afraid."

Wind Ling leaned against Lady Lu's shoulder, her body completely relaxed. Lady Lu's words were so comforting. These past few days, Wind Ling had been so tense, she hadn't dared to speak the truth.

Mrs. Lu patted her shoulder, knowing this child had suffered. Her eyes changed.

"Xier, how is your mother"

Li Hao had been struggling for a long time, asking out loud, but without seeing Yao Wan Ying come, his heart was somewhat uneasy.

"My mother..."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Lu's wife and truthfully said, "She's gone."

What do you mean by that

Lu's wife furrowed her brows, seeing Feng Lingxi take a deep breath, seemingly unwilling to bring it up. She soothed, "It's alright, there's only us here."

Feng Lingxi whispered, "She found a secret passage inside the holy land and went in."

"Secret passage"

Lu Hao realized something was wrong with this, “This sacred land belongs to the Yao Clan. What would happen if we went down the secret passage”

Feng Lingxi shook her head. Lu Fu-ren, seeing Feng Lingxi's expression, opened her mouth and said, "Since she went down the secret passage, it must have been her own idea. You shouldn't ask her about it. She's more distressed than you."

Lu Hao nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi, but hesitated to speak.

The Grand Elder promised me that once the Gate to the Holy Land opens, we can leave the Yao Clan safely. I won't have to worry about the Yao Clan anymore, and Wan’er won't have to be the clan leader either.

Lady Lu frowned, “Xi'er, do you know who originally managed the Yao clan”

"Of course I know, I'm well aware of everything in the Holy Land. It is precisely because of this that everything I do now is following the ancestral precepts. Lu Fu-ren, I hope you can help me and fulfill the ancestral precepts."

"Silly child, I came because I want to help you. Whatever you want to do, just do it. I believe in you."

Feng Lingxi reached out and hugged Lu Fu, her eyes moist.

"Madam, you are so kind to Xi'er, thank you."

In order to pursue the time tunnel, her mother jumped in without hesitation, leaving all the aftermath behind. While Lu's wife believed in her and wholeheartedly supported her decision, allowing her to do what she desired.

Feng Lingxi's actions, Lu Fu only soothed her. She knew that this child had many words in her heart that she wanted to say but couldn't. She could only wait until everything was over and let her speak them herself.

Lu Hao looked at the scene before him, his heart wasn't feeling well either. Xi'er's words had already told him a lot, Yao Wan'ying was probably in grave danger, and all he owed Yao Wan'ying could only be compensated on Xi'er's head.

Even though it was just a short journey of an hour in the carriage, Feng Lingxi did not reveal much to Madam Lu. She simply leaned against her shoulder and remained mostly silent throughout the ride. Madam Lu did not press her for answers, but instead allowed her to rest. She thought, perhaps what Xier desired was simply a place to temporarily find solace.. "Call Mother Concubine, he divorced you, Mother Concubine did not divorce you."Feng Ling Xi raised her eyes to meet Shu Taifei's reddened eye sockets. Her throat felt as if it were blocked, yet she...
