Chapter 634: Yao's Rebellion 4

naturally give you the best.""Mother, Linglong knows you care for me the most. When I marry the prince, I will become empress, and mother will be the Empress Dowager."Feng Lingxi walked to the willow...Yaoshū and Elder Yao Yì had been waiting in the front hall for quite a while. Only then did Feng Lingxi emerge. The faces of the two elders were not good, after all, during their time with the Yao Clan, they had never waited so long for someone before.

Feng Lingxi walked to their front, and the two people stood up, performing a perfunctory bow as an explanation to the chieftain.

"Two elders have waited for a long time, I wonder what important matters bring you to me at this late hour"

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept over the two of them, her gaze seeming to see through their hidden anger. She sat down and took a sip of tea, appearing calm and composed, which only made their faces even more unsightly.

"To be frank, it's only just past nine o'clock. That's hardly midnight."

Feng Lingxi tugged at her clothes, glancing out at the wind and snow. "It's all my fault for getting caught up in the weather and forgetting the time. Forgive me, two elders."

Yao Shu's face darkened, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Saintess, as elders of the Yao Clan, we have something important to report to you. I believe you are already aware that our Holy Mistress has gone missing some time ago. Her whereabouts and well-being remain unknown. As her daughter, Saintess, how should we handle this matter"

When Feng Lingxi heard Yao Chu mention her mother's disappearance, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes before she quickly retracted it, looking at the two of them with furrowed brows.

"Dare I ask the Grand Elder, why has my mother disappeared How do you know her fate is unknown"

Upon being questioned like this, Yao Shu narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

"Feng Lingxi said again, 'When I came back this time, the Great Elder should know it was the Chieftain's meaning. As for what the Chieftain meant, how dare I ask' "

Knowing his intention, Feng Lingxi pushed all of this onto Luo Li. Anyway, they wouldn't dare to ask him.

Yao Shu's expression changed slightly, looking at Feng Ling Xi's calm eyes, it seemed she wasn't very clear about what happened to Yao Wan Ying.

“The Holy Lord violated the Yao Clan's rules and wanted to privately open the treasure. We originally wanted to persuade her to return to the right path, but unexpectedly, the Holy Lord was stubborn and fought with us. During the forbidden time, she accidentally fell off a cliff. We sent people to search for her, but there has been no news so far, and I fear the worst.”

Yao Yi looked at Feng Ling Xi with a mournful expression, as if it were all Yao Wan Ying's fault.

Such hypocrisy made Feng Lingxi feel sick.

As for this Yao clan's treasure, they're very good at finding scapegoats. They don't even know the conditions to open the treasure, how dare they slander her like this

"Elder Two, do you know what conditions are needed to open the treasure of the Yao Clan"

Yao Yi's body stiffened, meeting Feng Ling Xi's smile at the corner of her lips. He couldn't help but panic inwardly. Besides the Holy Lord, no one in Yao Clan knew about this, and the Holy Daughter probably wouldn't know either. He had intentionally said that, but he didn't expect her to ask.

"What do you mean by 'saint' Do you think we would deceive you"

Yao Shu chimed in, his tone laced with displeasure. After all, they were elders of the Yao clan. This Saintess shouldn't be so lacking in discernment. Deep down, they were still the ones in charge here. She hadn't been officially granted her position yet. If it weren't for the Clan Leader bringing her, they wouldn't have even bothered to show her respect.

"I'm just curious to ask and see if it's the same as what I know"

Feng Lingxi's words caused both of them to change color. She knew the conditions for opening the treasure, could it be that the Saint Master had already passed on the position to her

Even so, what does it matter Since the Yao clan hasn't officially bestowed the succession yet, their denial holds no weight.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that anymore. Since both elders mentioned my mother, no matter what the reason she fell off the cliff, the most important thing now is to find her. If she's alive, we want to see her. If she's dead, we want to see her body."

Feng Ling's voice was extremely firm, leaving no room for them to refute or offer suggestions.

"Holy maiden, unbeknownst to you, we have sent people down this cliff, but we haven't found the Master's whereabouts. Now the wind and snow are raging, and the water in the pool has frozen over. It's impossible to go into the water."

"Who says I'm powerless"

Feng Lingxi cast a faint glance. Her tone wasn't anything special, yet it made the two of them feel a chill. They all knew about this saintess. She was the daughter of the Great Yuan Dynasty emperor and a general. At the age of five, she fell ill with a high fever and became mentally disabled. A year before her wedding, she suddenly recovered. After that, she became a prominent figure in the Great Yuan Dynasty. She poisoned the former emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and recently, she had been cleared of the accusations against her by her own half-sister who had framed her, causing her to fall off a cliff. Fortunately, she was saved by the crown prince of the Aohan Dynasty. She had cheated death nine times, truly a legendary figure.

But now, Feng Ling Xi's demeanor gives them a feeling that it's different from what they imagined. It seems she isn't as intelligent as they thought.

However, since she was a woman who could overcome such hardship and rise to power, they dared not underestimate her.

"What method does the Saintess have to break the ice on the lake"

I will go there in person on the chosen day. Please trouble both elders to personally lead the way then.

Yao Shu and Yao Yi's expressions changed slightly. She was going to find Yao Wan Ying and asked them to lead the way personally. However, this was also a good opportunity for them.

"We will do everything we can to help, and hope that the Lord can be found as soon as possible."

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept over the two people, revealing a smile.

"Mother will definitely live well with the blessings of the Yao tribe members and elders. I thank both elders for their concern here."

Yao Shu and Yao Yi smiled stiffly and rose. "It's getting late, we won't disturb the Holy Maiden's rest, we'll take our leave."

"Two elders, please take your time. Little Li will see you off."

Feng Lingxi spoke and got up to walk towards the inner hall. After Xiao Li sent them off, she returned to the inner hall to serve.

After Yao Chu and Yao Yi walked away, seeing that there was no one around, Yao Chu said, "I didn't expect this saint to know the conditions for opening the treasure. We were careless."

The nomination conference must be cancelled; we cannot risk it all because of Yao Zhi's words.

Yao Yi reminded, "This Saintess acts with an air of superiority. It seems those rumors about her are all related to her husband, the war god Dugu City from the Great Yuan Dynasty. As a daughter of a general who just recovered from a serious illness, she's at most just a bit lucky."

Yao Shu shook his head in disagreement, "I think this woman is very cunning and not easy to deal with. A woman who could rise to prominence in the imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty, even with a war god as her protector, couldn't have so many legends circulating about her. Don't underestimate her, especially since the chieftain treats her very well. Who knows, maybe he has his eyes on her."

"The chief and her"

Yao Yi subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice, "Didn't the Holy Maiden already marry someone How could the Clan Chief..."

"Then you tell me, why is the chief so special to her"

Yao Shu suddenly realized, "You mean..."

"Hush..."

They both chuckled, their eyes gleaming with mischief.

Feng Lingxi sneezed, and Xiaoli quickly draped her cloak over her. "Your Highness, take care of your health. You've caught a chill."

"I'm fine, I'll be asleep soon."

Feng Lingxi finished writing the letter in her hand and handed it to Xiao Li, "This is the first letter. You have Shadow Six deliver it to Lin Xi County and give it to Dugu City."s red lips curled up slightly, "Will you always be so good to me"Of course it is true.Du Gucheng's gentleness made Feng Lingxi's heart sink slightly. She didn't know what to say, but she also wanted t...
