have been rescued. This king is going to find her."Ye Xi watched him stomping away, and stepped in front of him."My lord, if you wish to find your wife, I will accompany you. But you must take care o...The Grand Elder frowned, “I see it now. He has taken pity on this child. For the future of the Yao clan, sacrifices are inevitable. Don't let him know what happens next. Just keep the child. When the time comes, we’ll find an excuse to send him away. Once our plan is complete, he will understand.”

Elder Two nodded, and the other elders had no objections.

The Yao clan meeting has always been dominated by the eldest elder. They just assist him.

Wind Lingxi sneezed, rubbed her nose, and felt uneasy for no reason. She couldn't help but think of Wan'er whenever she moved.

"Dugu City, my heart is pounding. You said Wan'er must have reached the Yao Clan already."

Although if you count the days, it should be about time.

But deep down, she was reluctant to return to the Yao clan so soon. They still had two days to reach the Ghost Saint Kingdom, and they didn't even know where the Yao clan was located in the Ghost Saint Kingdom. When Xiaoli went to inquire about the Yao clan here, no one paid her any attention.

Dugu Cheng knew she was worried about Wan'er, and he was worried too, but he didn't dare to say it, afraid that Xi'er would be more anxious.

"Wan'er will be fine. Along the way, Luoli has been sincere to Wan'er, and what's more, as the head of a Yao clan, he wouldn't allow Wan'er to be bullied."

Feng Lingxi thought about it, too. But her heart pounding with fear was truly remarkable.

"Maybe I'm just nervous."

Feng Lingxi smoothed her breath, allowing herself to calm down.

In two more days, she would arrive at the Ghost Saint Country. No matter what this Yao Clan was planning, she had to visit them. She needed to see for herself what they were up to, why they used such underhanded tactics to lure her here. It couldn't be as simple as wanting Wan'er to become their clan leader.

Two days later, they arrived at the border of Ghost Saint Nation. They entered the city as merchants and stayed at an inn.

Shangguan Huan went out to inquire around, but he didn't get any joy from the Yao people. The people here wanted to find out about the Yao tribe, they just shook their heads, as if they had never heard of it at all.

Feng Lingxi resides here, and it has to be said that the Kingdom of Ghost Saints is prosperous. Stepping into this territory, the people's standard of living and the architecture all reveal the wealth and strength of the people in the Kingdom of Ghost Saints, a nation where the country is prosperous and the people are safe.

Their clothing wasn't much different from that of the Yuan Dynasty. To be truthful, people here wore more silk garments, perhaps because they were wealthier and lived in areas more populated by the Yao people.

Feng Lingxi purposely had them go investigate and learned that the ruler of this Ghost Saint Country was surnamed Gui. Feng Lingxi realized she was uninformed, as this Ghost Saint Country was actually pronounced "Wei" Saint Country, the third tone. Surnames like Gui were typically held by distinguished individuals and were an extremely rare surname in China. By the future, this surname had long since disappeared.

The king of Ghost Saint Country had many sons. When he was young, he was handsome and popular with women. Besides the fifteen princes and eight princesses within the palace, it is unknown how many illegitimate children he had outside.

These princes, however, wouldn't vie for power like those in other countries, plotting to seize the throne. Instead, they pondered who should inherit it. For in Ghost Saint Nation, ascending to the throne was an arduous task. One had to appease the court, prevent any internal strife, maintain peace, and most importantly, uphold the lineage of the Ghost Clan, ensuring its prosperity for generations to come. The responsibility was immense.

Without an heir, princes had their own land, wealth, shops, lived comfortably, and did not have to worry about succession or the lack of an heir.

"The customs of this Ghost Saint Nation are truly unheard of."

I always thought this country was strange, now I realize I've been ignorant.

Feng Lingxi gave a self-deprecating smile. She was still a medical genius from the 21st world, but this history was truly a mess.

"The world is vast, with all sorts of wonders. It's not the first time I've heard this surname."

"Without the struggle for power and ambition to rule the world, how would outsiders know of this surname"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of helplessness.

If only Dugu Su and the others had some awareness, how could the Yuan Dynasty have become like this now.

When mentioning the Yuan Dynasty, Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, "Have there been any news from the Yuan Dynasty these days"

They have been out for more than a month now. Apart from Dugu Su's assassination attempt failing, there doesn't seem to be any news about the Great Yuan Dynasty. According to the time, Dugu Xiu's love poison should have taken effect by now, but there hasn't been any word of it. I don't know what went wrong.

"Tianxianglou hadn't sent word from the Yuan Dynasty, and I didn't press for details. Dealing with Wan'er's situation was more important."

No news is good news, and Dugu City didn't hope to receive any messages from the Yuan Dynasty.

Feng Lingxi nodded. "That makes sense. With them over there in the Yuan Dynasty, things are bound to be chaotic. We'll deal with Wan'er's matter first, and then make plans."

All of this is thousands of miles away, there's really no need to worry about the troubles of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Your Highness, I'll go out to gather some information. You two rest here."

Shengguan Huan walked in with Qiu'er. Qiu'er was almost fully recovered. Knowing that Feng Lingxi saved her, she had always been grateful to Feng Lingxi. She helped Feng Lingxi alongside Xiao Li every day. Although Feng Lingxi said it wasn't necessary, Qiu'er insisted on helping out.

Feng Lingxi looked at Qiu'er, "Come sit here."

Dugu Cheng saw them chatting, stood up, "Xi'er, I'll go for a walk. You rest here."

Feng Lingxi responded, and the room was left with only the two of them. Qiu'er poured water for Feng Lingxi, a delicate smile on her pretty face, giving off the feeling of a gentle and homely woman.

How are you feeling today

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. I am much better now and am like everyone else."

Feng Lingxi grabbed her hand and felt her pulse, “The toxins in your body have mostly been expelled. With some time to recuperate, you’ll be truly healed.”

Autumn said thank you, but she wasn't very happy.

"I heard you were poisoned because your enemies were chasing you. I don't know who your enemies are, if I could be of any help..."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. Qiu'er is already a person who has died once; they won't come looking for me again. In their eyes, I am already dead."

Looking at Qiu'er's dim eyes, Feng Lingxi knew that her enemies were probably powerful.

She didn't say, and it wasn't appropriate for me to ask.

"When are you and Shangguan Huan planning to get married I'll give you a big gift when the time comes."

Upon mentioning this, Qiu'er raised her head and suddenly walked up to Feng Lingxi, kneeling before her. This action left Feng Lingxi puzzled, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. However, Qiu'er refused to rise, pleading, "Your Highness, Qiu'er has something to ask for your help. I implore you to agree."

"Get up first."

Autumn shook her head, her eyes filled with pleading. “If the Princess doesn’t agree, Autumn won’t get up.”

How come everyone is threatening her like this She doesn't even know what's going on, how could she agree rashly.

"Your Majesty, the favor I wish to ask is related to Shangguan Huan."ch, she definitely doesn't want me to be alive. If I attack her, maybe I can find some clues.""Then you have Huangfu Qingyun accompany you tomorrow. Be careful not to reveal your identity."Huángfǔ Qīn...
