king's personal guard, and he is like a brother to me. How could he possibly betray me"Dugu Cheng's cold words made Zhao Ran County Lord's pretty face stiffen slightly. She hurriedly accompanied a sm..."Xiao Li."

When Feng Lingxi saw the person clearly, she was overjoyed and rushed forward, but was stopped by someone beside Xiaoli who drew their sword. Looking at Xiaoli's cold eyes, Feng Lingxi's steps came to a halt, staring at her.

"Xiao Li, you..."

"No disrespect to the Lord, all of you back down."

Her icy tone, cold and sharp gaze, and the movements of Xiao Li's hands left Feng Lingxi dumbfounded. If it weren't for her face and Xiao Li's voice, she would have seriously doubted if this person before her was really her Xiao Li.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Yingba quickly stepped forward, shielding Feng Lingxi behind him. He eyed Xiao Li and the others with suspicion, on guard.

"It's Xiao Li."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, pulling Ying Ba back, "Don't move."

Shadow Eight looked at the woman before him, completely unfamiliar. His eyes were still cold and sharp as ice.

"Xiao Li, are you looking for me"

"The Lord may call this palace the Holy Protector."

"Sacred Protector" This Palace Is this Xiao Li's new identity

Feng Lingxi looked at Xia Li's unfamiliar eyes. Wasn't Li Wuyan saying she had no amnesia Why couldn't she see a hint of familiarity in her eyes, but instead felt endless strangeness and coldness.

"Your Majesty, Sheng Hufa is the protector of the Yao Clan of Gui Sheng Kingdom. His status is second only to the Elders, and he commands the Yao Clan's guard army."

Yingba's explanation shocked Feng Lingxi. It turned out that Xiaoli's status was now so noble, no wonder she had people following her around now.

But looking at her now, she seems to be doing well.

"Saint Hufa, I wonder what brings you to see me today" Feng Lingxi respected Xiaoli, her voice laced with concern. Looking at Xiaoli standing before her, Feng Lingxi couldn't describe how she felt.

Of course, I was sent to invite the Holy Master to the Ghost Saint Nation Yao Clan. The Grand Elder requests your presence.

Grand Elder

Could it be that Elder Heart's death was already known by the Grand Elder Or perhaps the Grand Elder intentionally sent Xiaoli to find her, knowing the relationship between Xiaoli and her, wanting to play tricks

Feng Ling-xi calmed herself and replied calmly, "I can't leave for now."

"Can the Lord understand why the High Elder called you back"

Xiaoli's beautiful eyes swept across Feng Lingxi, sizing her up and down. Before Feng Lingxi could speak, she coldly stated, "The Great Elder has ordered that if the Holy Master is unwilling, this palace will personally escort you back to the Yao clan and immediately strip you of your position as Holy Master."

"Then take away my Holy Lord status."

Feng Lingxi heard that her position as the Saint Master was being taken away, and she suddenly felt a lot lighter. Over the years, because of this Saint Master identity, she didn't even know what she had experienced. Without this Saint Master position, perhaps Wan'er wouldn't have to go to the Yao clan for sacrifice.

"Lord, you need to think this through carefully. Your mother, your daughter, they will all have to go to the Yao Clan." Xiaoli warned, her tone full of warning. Feng Lingxi hated being threatened, but she was truly afraid.

"Do you have to force me like this"

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes, looking at Xiaoli. She was really angry, but seeing Xiaoli's face, her anger subsided again. "Xiaoli, do you really want to force me to this point"

"I am not Xiao Li, I am the Sacred Protector."

Xiao Li stared at Feng Ling Xi, "Holy Lord, I give you three days' time. Think about it seriously, and answer me when you make up your mind."

Xiaoli finished speaking and left with her subordinates, leaving Feng Lingxi standing in place, clenching her fists.

"Shadow Eight, are you saying I truly have no choice"

Feng Lingxi looked at Yingba and sighed, "I'm really angry. Why would the Elder of the Yao Clan do this What are his ulterior motives Why should I bear the consequences, why should my family pay the price I really want to strangle him."

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. The Yao Clan has existed for a thousand years and possesses immense power. The Elder of the Yao Clan is shrouded in mystery, with impure motives. Your Highness must tread carefully and be mindful of your words, lest you inadvertently attract danger from unseen ears."

Wind Lingxi doesn't like feeling threatened this way, she really feels helpless.

She knew she had to go to the Yao tribe, but she didn't want to be repeatedly notified by the elder, nor did she like being taken there. She also didn't want to be treated like a prisoner, escorted to the Yao tribe and left at their mercy, just like before.

"Don't tell Dugu City about this."

Feng Lingxi slowly took a breath, "I'll talk to him myself."

These days, she dreams of seeing Xiaoli all the time. But in her dreams, she never imagined that when Xiaoli returned, she would threaten to force her to return to Yaozu with her.

"Understood, my lord."

"Xier, just when I arrived, I saw someone. Guess who it was"

Lu Nian rushed in and eagerly tried to please Feng Lingxi, but he was taken aback by the displeasure on her face.

"Sister, who bullied you"

"Xiao Li just arrived."

Feng Lingxi's heart was heavy with gloom, a feeling of unspeakable sorrow. Looking at her elder brother in front of her, she really wanted to confide in him, but she couldn't. She didn't want him to see her weakness.

"Did you see her too" Lu Nian connected the dots quickly, realizing Feng Lingxi's displeasure must have something to do with Xiaoli. She had been looking for Xiaoli these past few days, and now that she was here, it seemed she was disappointed.

"Big brother, Xiao Li has changed. She's not the same Xiao Li I used to know. Now she's the Holy Guardian of the Yao Clan from the Ghost Saint Nation. She came here to ask me to return to the Yao Clan with her. It's an order from the Great Elder."

Feng Lingxi sat on the stool beside her, looking utterly drained.

"Sister, does the Grand Elder know about Xinshui's death"

"Impossible, I handled her body, cleaned it meticulously, there was no trace left, it's impossible for him to know." Yingba spoke, causing Lu Nian to jump in fright. Looking at Yingba with his mask on, those cold eyes, when had his sister started liking this kind of style

“If the Great Elder doesn’t know about Xin Shui’s death, then he must be eager to bring me back to the Yao Clan. I think perhaps they learned something from my mother and want to advance their plans. But I don’t quite understand. According to what they said before, we were supposed to wait until Wan'er turned ten before taking her back to the Yao Clan. Wan'er hasn’t reached the age for the sacrifice yet, so why are they in such a hurry to send me there”

Feng Lingxi's doubts, Ying Ba also couldn't tell her the answer. He could only stay quietly by her side. She knew everything she knew had already been told to the princess, and there was nothing left to conceal.

"Xi'er, don't think too much about it. Big brother will help you check and see what happened to the Yao clan. Why is this so sudden"

Feng Ling xi Ying Sheng, shuang shou tuo cai, "Zhe da chang lao shi zheng ding zhu zai Wan Er."

I wonder if Wan'er has gotten used to staying at Tianxiang Building. And as for Siyu and Siqi, those two children left her side for the first time, I wonder if they miss her.

"Has there been any news from Luo Li"

Lu Nian suddenly asked, "Dugu City said he would find me, but there's been no news until now."

Feng Lingxi sighed. If there was news of Luoli, would she be this upset

However, thinking about it now, Luo Li isn't doing much better either.d her."I apologize, there are just too many topics to discuss. Miss Fourth, please forgive me, I shall refrain from speaking further."Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, trying her best not to get angry....
