eed the Empress to worry about it. If such things happen again, this king's face will be lost. This king takes his leave."Without a word, Dugu City left, ignoring the Empress.The Empress watched Dugu...Luo Li cast Feng Ling Xi a meaningful glance and smiled, "Everyone has their own secrets, so do I. My identity as a member of the Yao clan is rather inconvenient to reveal. I can only say that I am above the Saint Master. As for anything else, I'm sorry, I can't disclose it."

Above the Lord

Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi looked at each other, both with disbelief in their eyes. What kind of existence was this being above the Holy Lord It seemed that the Yao clan's status was far more honorable than just being the Holy Lord.

What is the Yaozu like, and why does someone exist above the Sacred Lord

Luo Li smiled without answering, gazing at Feng Ling Xi's shrewd and beautiful eyes.

"Your Highness, the Yao Clan has existed for a thousand years. The secrets within it are vast, and even I can only say that their full nature remains unknown."

"In that case, the Yao Clan isn't under the Saint Lord's jurisdiction. The Saint Lord merely exists to give birth to heirs for the Yao Clan and has no right to govern it."

Dugu Cheng suddenly felt sorry for Xi'er, this holy maiden. Thinking of her promise with Cen Taihou, if these Yao clan treasures couldn't end up in her hands, wouldn't Cen Taihou know the truth and would she forgive Xi'er

"Fourth Lord, this Yao Clan is naturally under the control of the Saint. Unless there is a major rebellion within the Yao Clan, we would not interfere."

"Me wait"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow and nodded at Luoli, "I understand that you have a group behind you"

"Sure."

Luo Li's refreshing answer made Feng Ling Xi's brows furrow slightly. No wonder he didn't care about Zi Xing. It seemed that Zi Xing wasn't important to him at all, just a symbol of the Saint Master's status.

"To whom does the Yao ethnic group's treasure belong"

Luoli raised an eyebrow, looked at Feng Lingxi, and pointed at her, "If you were for the Holy Lord, it would be up to you. However, if you want to open the Yao clan's treasure trove, you must consult us. Moreover, opening the Yao clan's treasure trove is not something one person can do alone. All conditions must be met. This is a secret of the Yao clan, so I might as well tell you now."

"My mother wouldn't know"

Luo Li smiled, "Your mother went out when she was young. Every Yao Clan Saint Master has the right to view the Yao Clan's treasure trove and decide whether to take it out for the benefit of the world. However, I can confidently tell you that throughout history, no Saint Master who has seen the Yao Clan's treasure has been willing to take it out for use by all."

Okay, that's it.

Feng Lingxi raised her hand, "The more you say, the less interesting it becomes."

Luo Li watched Feng Ling Xi's impatient expression, her smile widened at the corner of her lips.

"Would you be willing to return to the Yao clan with me now"

"Let's see then, anyway, those in the same industry won't."

Feng Lingxi watched as Dugu City ate almost everything, then lowered her head and continued eating quietly.

"Prince Luo, there is something this king wants to ask you."

"Lord Siwang, you needn't be so reserved. Ask anything you wish, as long as it can be spoken, Luoli will gladly tell you."

Feng Lingxi curled her lips, what was there to say This Yao Clan held so many secrets. The Saint Lord, in the end, was just a housekeeper and a tool for bearing children. She wouldn't stoop to such a lowly status.

Everyone outside believes that the Yao Clan belongs to the Saint Lord, and all the wind and waves are borne by the Saint Lord, protecting the so-called mysterious high-level figures behind the Yao Clan. I really don't know why every generation of Saint Lords enjoys it so much.

Anyway, once she gets here, this ridiculousness is over.

Dugu Cheng looked at Xi'er's coldness in her eyes and opened his mouth, "Lord Luo, I dare to ask, how do you plan to deal with the Yao clan's internal strife after the Holy Lord fell off a cliff"

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi, smiling and saying, "This matter is up to her to handle. With the Holy Master absent, the Saintess has the right to deal with the Yao clan's internal strife."

"Luo Gongzi thinks that the Yao clan people are willing to accept punishment. Xi'er has never returned to the Yao clan, even if she arrives at the Yao clan, whether they recognize Xi'er as the Saintess is another matter, how could they be punished by her"

"So, I said that I would go back with her, and I would help her."

獨孤城 glanced at Feng Lingxi, who was bowing her head and eating in silence, and fell into thought.

If what Luoli said is true, then she should think carefully about whether she wants to go with Luoli.

"Now that we're full, let's head back home."

Feng Lingxi put down her chopsticks, wiped her lips, and looked at Luo Li. Her beautiful eyes raised slightly as she smiled, "Thank you for the meal, I'll be going now."

"Your Highness, in three days' time, my carriage will await you at the city gate."

Feng Lingxi, without looking back, pulled Dugu Cheng away, leaving Huamanlou. The expression on her face gradually grew colder.

"Too passive."

Feng Lingxi raised her head and glanced at the second floor, “What a sly old fox.”

"Go back first."

Dugu City signaled for her to get into the carriage. With this incessant rain and the biting winter chill, following Luo Li would increase their chances of safety.

Feng Ling leaned against Dugu City's shoulder, "Dugu City, I feel like I'm being very passive this time. I'm a little worried about this trip to the Yao clan. Luoli's status in the Yao clan must be very important. If he intends to harm me, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to deal with."

"Don't worry, I'll be with you."

Feng Lingxi shook her head, looked up at Dugu City, her eyes were very serious, “What I mean is, when the time comes, I will go to Yaozu with Luoli. You stay in Linxi County and wait for me. We can’t enter Yaozu together. What if something happens…”

"No, since we are husband and wife, I cannot abandon you. The Yao Clan is in danger, and I will accompany you to face it together."

"I'm afraid they won't let you in."

Feng Lingxi mumbled, sighed, and leaned against his shoulder, her thoughts drifting away.

Dugu City looked at Xi'er's worried face, his eyes drifted towards outside the carriage. The two of them had thoughts in their hearts.

The three-day agreement quickly spread throughout the capital. The next day, Feng Lingxi and Dugu City were about to leave the city when Dugu Yu arrived at their doorstep and stopped them. Looking at them wanting to go out, Dugu Yu's eyes were suspicious.

"Are you two going out"

"Master San, is there something important"

Feng Lingxi saw him, and her mood wasn't good. She disliked his insincere smile.

"This king heard that you are leaving the capital the day after tomorrow, so I came out of curiosity to ask"

Feng Lingxi looked at Du Gucheng, "How did so many people in the capital know about our leaving"

Dugu Cheng said that he didn't understand either, but their whereabouts shouldn't be able to hide from them.

"Don't misunderstand, Your Majesty did not follow you. The news of your departure from the capital has spread throughout the city long ago. Your Majesty was just curious. After all, we are in an alliance, and some matters are better discussed face-to-face."

"My departure from the capital is a personal matter, and I'm not comfortable informing the Three Kings. Dugu City is my husband, and he accompanies me to ensure my safety. Three Kings, are you satisfied with this answer"

"Private matters" Dugu Yu clearly didn't believe it, looking at Feng Lingxi, "What kind of private matter would require leaving the capital Could it be that the Fourth Princess is intentionally deceiving this king"

Wind Ling gave him a cold stare, her tone dropping.

"Dugu Yu, don't forget, I am the Holy Daughter of Yao Clan. How is it abnormal for me to leave the capital"s getting anxious and directly laid out her words. Bai Xiadie was stunned and looked at Feng Ling Xi, her eyes complex."Miss Bai, do you have feelings for Bai Mo Bai...""Your Majesty, do you know who...
