Chapter 1447: War Clouds Gather (268)

face ashen. When he saw Dugu Cheng, he could no longer hold on and collapsed. Dugu Cheng quickly stepped forward to support him. "Ye Xi, what's wrong with you""My Lord, my subordinate was ambushed.""S...Feng Siqi timidly looked at her mother, her eyes reddening and glistening with tears.

"Mother, they always do this. You can't control them. When she grows up and faces hardship, see how long you can protect her." Feng Siqi's words struck Yuan Xi Shenyi like a thunderbolt. Holding Feng Siqi in his arms, the pain suddenly vanished.

"Grandpa, Siqi was wrong. Brother and mother were right to scold me. I shouldn't have done that."

Feng Siqi looked at her brother and mother's anger, reached out to wipe away her tears, "Grandfather can't protect Siqi for a lifetime. Siqi doesn't have a father. When she grows up, she has to become stronger, not make her mother angry, and not let her brother keep protecting her."

When Feng Siqi said she didn't have a father, Feng Lingxi's expression instantly dimmed.

She knew she had never given her siblings a proper explanation about their father. Every time they asked, she would say they didn't have one. Now that they were over four years old and growing up, they would eventually know that Dugu City was their father.

Tao Su watched them from the side. Over these past few days, her understanding of Feng Lingxi had grown, and she was quite impressed with her. How many women in this world would divorce their husbands, even while having a child

"Sīyǔ sīqí, nǐmen hé tāosū xiān huíqu, wǒ yǒu huà hé nǐmen yéye shuō."

When Yuan Xiu, the divine physician, heard that Feng Lingxi wanted to speak with him privately, his whole being was thrown into turmoil.

"Si Yu Si Qi, let's go."

Tao Su reached out to hold their hands, but Si Yu dodged him. Instead, Si Qi happily took Tao Su's hand and skipped away.

"Master."

Feng Lingxi called out, and Yuan Xiu's face changed abruptly. He hurriedly smiled and asked, "Little girl, what do you want to tell me Did you take a liking to that boy"

"Master, don't joke around, I'm here to talk about serious business."

Feng Lingxi's expression was serious, "Wan'er came from the Great Yuan Dynasty. Lu Nian brought her here. I will go down the mountain to see her in a few days. Wan'er doesn't know about Siyu and Sqi's existence yet. This time when I went to the Lu family, I didn't tell them about their existence either."

"Why is that Do you think they don't deserve to know about Siyu and Siki"

Yuan Xiu was talking to himself, nodding in agreement. "That's right, they don't deserve it at all. If they knew, things would be a mess. They want to steal her away from me No way!"

“Master, Siyu and Siqi were both raised by you. I want to tell you that after Wan'er arrives, I will go back to the Danyu Dynasty with her. You remember what I told you before, Wan'er is the heir apparent of the Yao Clan. When she turns ten, the Yao Clan will take her away. My mother also said that Wan'er shouldn't go to the Yao Clan, and I need to handle things properly.”

"What are you going to do" Yuan Xiu looked at Feng Lingxi, "It's hard enough for you to take care of two children alone, and now you have to take care of Wan'er too. I'm not saying you're capable, but with your third-rate kung fu, the Yao Clan's influence spreads throughout the world. You can't do anything wherever you go. Are you still thinking about going back to be with Dugu City"

Of course not.

When it came to Dugu City, Feng Lingxi felt pain and regret in her heart, but no hatred.

I only went back because Wan'er is there.

"Didn't you just say that Wan'er is coming Then why go back Where is it People from the Yao Clan want to come and pick her up, so they will still come. Why go back to the Great Yuan Dynasty What is there for you to go back to besides pain"

Feng Lingxi was slightly stunned. Her master was right.

What could there possibly be in the Yuan Dynasty for her to long for Wan'er has already come, what would she do if she went back

Have you seen Dugu City

She doesn't want to see him, and she doesn't want to see that man again. If Wan’er comes, then ask her what she thinks. Let her stay here, give her a home, wouldn't that be nice

"Master, would it be alright if we bought a house here and lived in it"

Yuan Xiu nodded. "Isn't that right Staying in the capital of Xigu Kingdom, even if you don't recognize the Lu family, you are the eldest miss of the Lu family. No one in Xigu Kingdom would dare to bully you. Why go back to Dayuan Dynasty to suffer Besides, as long as you stay here, if you truly don't want the Yao people to take your daughter away, with your status as the eldest miss of the Lu family, you can definitely keep her safe."

Feng Lingxi's face was full of astonishment, "Master, are you sure we can protect Wan'er from becoming the leader of the Yao Clan here"

Isn't it said that everyone in the world flatters the Yao tribe

Must the ancient Western countries not be used

Yuan Xiu smiled smugly, his unfathomable gaze making Feng Lingxi even more puzzled.

"Master's words, when have they ever deceived you."

Feng Lingxi fell silent. If the Xi Gu Guo truly could prevent Wan'er from going to the Yao Clan, wouldn't that mean she only had to acknowledge her status as the eldest daughter of the Lu family for Wan'er to stay Wouldn't all this be solved simply by acknowledging that identity She could erase everything and no longer be manipulated or threatened by anyone.

But Master had deceived her into becoming his disciple in the first place, and he even told her that the child she was carrying would be either a dragon or a phoenix. As a result, she gave birth to twin dragon children, and now she has three children.

Feng Lingxi stared at her master, somewhat doubtful if she could still believe her master's words.

"Girl, what Master said is true, I didn't deceive you."

"Master, do you know what the Lu family's heirloom is"

Yuan Xiu Shen Yi's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurried forward, a curious look on his face. "Master has heard that the Lu family possesses an heirloom treasure, but I don't know what it is Have you seen it"

Feng Lingxi nodded, "A piece of crystal stone, about the size of a fist."

"Crystal head"

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Yuan Xiu's slightly furrowed brows with curiosity.

"Master, do you really know about the Lu family's heirloom"

"I don't know, I don't know."

Yuan Xiu waved his hand, his expression was a little off. The irritability in his eyes made Feng Lingxi curious and wanting to ask, but Yuan Xiu became impatient.

"Don't return to the Yuan Dynasty, just buy a house in Xigu Kingdom. Your master can choose not to live with you, but cannot leave. You can invite whomever you want to live with you. In short, your master hopes that you will stay in Xigu Kingdom."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "For now, I won't return to Xigu Kingdom. That place..."

There was a pause in the voice, and Feng Lingxi's mind flashed with memories of old friends.

Yu Mo, Yi Xuan, Tian Xiao Mi, and Xiao Li, as well as Sun Cheng and others who had once followed her and were willing to follow her, during the five years she disappeared, they didn't know if they had ever thought of looking for her.

Feng Ling Xi put away her expression, not wanting to think about the past.

"The master will go down the mountain tomorrow to look for a suitable house."

"Master, do you have any silver"

Feng Lingxi asked, Yuan Xiu Shen Yi's body stiffened visibly. Looking at Feng Lingxi's smiling eyes, his body straightened and he said in a serious voice, "My master has always been indifferent to wealth and possessions, so..."

Feng Lingxi took out a few silver bills from her bosom and gave them to him, "Master, take this to buy property. I have only one requirement, it cannot be anything belonging to the Lu family."

"The master understands."e officials with cold eyes, his gaze narrowed slightly, and a chill permeated the air."Fourth King, my subordinate is here on the Empress Dowager's order to invite Lord Feng Lingxi of the Yao clan to...
