Chapter 643: Yao's Chaos 13

Little General glanced down at the cliff face and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, where is the King"Feng Lingxi looked at the anxiety in Xiao Jiangjun's eyes and asked in a low voice, "What's your na..."Let's go back."

Luo Li watched Feng Ling Xi staring at the stone house in front of him, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Knowing full well these elders were formidable, they still chose to provoke them.

Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze and said lightly, "This forbidden zone is quite special."

After finishing his words, he walked out first. Luo Li, however, frowned and looked around after hearing those words, though she didn't seem to find anything amiss.

"Grand Elder, what does the Saintess mean by this"

Yaoyi pulled Yaoshu aside and whispered, "I feel like this Saintess seems to have noticed something here. This forbidden zone... it's fine during the day, but at night, no one dares to come here. Especially after Yao Wan'ying fell from the cliff, everyone says that this place is eerie and terrifying. They say that after Yao Wan'ying died, her soul had nowhere to rest and was crying out in the forbidden zone."

Now that the Holy Maiden said this, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He felt more and more like it was true.

"Let's go."

Yao Shu was made uncomfortable by the phrase "Feng Ling Xi," as he already felt guilty. Now, he was even more flustered.

Back at the Temple, all the elders had retired. Luo Li remained with Feng Ling to discuss their plan to descend the mountain tomorrow.

"What are your plans for them"

Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli who was staring intently at her, and smiled, "With the chief here, what methods would I need to use against them Whatever the chief says, that's how it shall be."

"You should know, this matter can only be handled by you. You are the future Saint Lord of the Yao Clan. Your mother hasn't been heard from until now, and you shouldn't have too much hope... she…"

"Chief."

Feng Lingxi interrupted him, her voice cold. "Didn't you just say it yourself The living should be seen, the dead should be seen. Until I see my mother's body, I won't believe she's gone."

"Just now, at the edge of the cliff, what did you discover"

Wind Ling thought of the cliff, and suddenly laughed.

“No, it’s just that the cliff seemed bottomless, and there were no trees around for survival. Being driven to such a place, falling from such a high cliff… surviving would require a miracle.” Feng Lingxi’s eyes sank. She said her mother was still alive, because she still prayed in her heart for a miracle. After all, Aman had survived, so she also hoped her mother could have such a miracle.”

"Perhaps there really are miracles. I sent people down to the pool at the bottom of the cliff, and it's possible that there is truly life down there."

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi, hesitated for a moment and continued, "Now it's probably impossible to go down. The surface of the water tank is frozen over. My people arrived yesterday and found one thing: The soldiers of Dugu City are searching the mountains around, but there has been no news."

Feng Lingxi was a little surprised when she heard Luo Li's words. He actually knew this, it seemed that she was the only one who was out of the loop.

"Does that area belong to the Yao people's territory"

"Not within the territory of the Yao people, it can be said to be at the heartland of the tribal clans, belonging to no one place. It is both safe and dangerous."

Feng Lingxi understood his meaning, “Dugu Cheng leads troops to search the mountains, I’m afraid he has also alarmed the surrounding tribes. Don’t they have any intention of sending troops”

"Who would be so reckless as to provoke the God of War With an army of 500,000, all these tribes combined are no match for him. As long as Dugu City doesn't antagonize them, they won't fight to the death. Rest assured."

Feng Lingxi was indeed relieved. Those tribe members wouldn't be foolish enough to go against Dugu City. All she hoped now was that her mother's matter would be resolved soon.

"Luo Li, if I still haven't found my mother by tomorrow, then I will return to Lin Xi County. As for the Yao clan, I truly don't know how to handle it. Without my mother here, I can't possibly deal with these elders of the Yao clan. How could I possibly discipline them without any evidence"

Moreover, what could this saintess possibly have against them besides Xiaoli

If you wish, there is a way.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Luoli's resolute eyes and suddenly smiled.

"The chieftain truly thinks highly of me. As a weak woman, how could I possibly have such great abilities Besides, even if I were to find my mother, what would become of the Yao clan Even if I became this so-called Saint Master, so what Do you think I would settle for such a hollow title"

The conflicts within the Yao clan and the intrigues in the palace were nothing compared to her battles with Empress Cen. At least there was some amusement in those, unlike here where she might just be clearing obstacles for others.

Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "Don't you want to avenge your mother"

"Isn't the result out yet"

Feng Lingxi's cold eyes glanced, "I'm a little tired, so I won't have dinner with the Chieftain. Farewell."

As he watched her walk away, Luo Li called out to her.

"You can get Ah Man back to testify, no matter if you find your mother tomorrow, at least you can get them all fired."

Feng Lingxi curled her lips into a sneer and walked towards the Saintess Temple without looking back.

Xiao Li took small steps to keep up with the princess's pace. When they arrived at the Saintess Temple, she asked, "Princess, why didn't you consider what the Chief said"

"Xiao Li, do you think he's trustworthy"

"Your Highness, you don't trust the Chief"

Feng Lingxi shook her head and wrote a letter to Xiaoli, "You give this letter to Yingliu, and deliver it to Dugu City personally."

>

She didn't care why, she wasn't interested.

"I'm really afraid I'll be spending Chinese New Year with the Yao people this year. It's only about twenty days away."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, her heart inexplicably agitated.

"Your Highness, if my memory serves me right, these few days should be your menstrual period."

Xiaoli mentioned this, Feng Lingxi calculated the time last month, it seemed to be true. Moreover, calculating the time, the monthly letter should have arrived two days ago, but so far, she still hasn't come.

"Xiao Li, my letter hasn't arrived yet. I wonder if it's because it's too cold, and it's two days late."

Feng Lingxi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. On the way here, she had been vaguely involved in business with Dugu Cheng twice. She hadn't taken any contraceptive measures... could she be pregnant

Thinking this over, Feng Lingxi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and felt a little panicked.

Little Li excitedly looked at the Princess's abdomen, "Princess, will there be a little prince"

"Impossible, I…"

Feng Lingxi subconsciously stroked her abdomen, "It won't be that easy."

Xiao Li looked at the Queen's eyes, which were both expectant and uneasy. She hurriedly soothed, "Your Highness, don't think too much about it, just go with the flow."

Feng Ling xi nodded, “Perhaps the weather caused a two-day delay. Let's talk again in a few days.”

Feng Lingxi tried to calm herself, but her heart was restless. She was afraid that having a child at this time would put her in an even more precarious position within the Yao clan. If she were to make even the slightest mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.are you still blaming Ai Jia"Feng Lingxi hearing her voice, "Xi'er," lifted her eyes to meet Empress Shu's tear-filled gaze. She hurriedly lowered her head."I dare not, Your Majesty Empress Dowager....
