Chapter 1618: Hand in Hand for Life 26

i'er, are you saying that Liu Shi's death was not suicide but murder"This he spoke of, naturally, was Feng Linglong. Dugu Cheng saw Feng Lingxi looking at Feng Linglong, and in Feng Linglong's eyes, t...As soon as the two left, another person arrived at the General's Mansion. This person came looking for Feng Lingxi. He wore a conical straw hat and claimed to know who had kidnapped Feng Yuxi. The people at the General's Mansion let him in.

"Lord."

At the sound of this address, Feng Lingxi understood the visitor's identity. Looking at Dugu Cheng beside her, she said, "You might as well wait for me over there. I'll come find you after he finishes speaking."

獨孤城 looked at this person's attire and dressing. Since they came to find Xi'er, why wouldn't they show their true face

"Then be careful, Your Majesty will be waiting for you ahead."

Dugu City walked a little further away, surrounded by people from Dugu City. He just left them a place to speak.

"Are you a member of the Yao tribe"

That man nodded, lifting his straw hat to reveal a completely unfamiliar face. Feng Lingxi was puzzled. Since he wasn't willing to show his true appearance, why did he lift his hat to let her see

"My name is Zeno, a member of the Yao clan from the Ghost Saint Kingdom. This time, I was sent by the Grand Elder to meet Your Majesty. The Grand Elder asked Zeno to escort Your Majesty and the successor chieftain to the Ghost Saint Kingdom."

"Who has a higher status, the Elder or the Chief"

Feng Ling Xi suddenly asked, Zeno looked at Feng Ling Xi, his tone calm and said, "Zeno listens to the Grand Elder's orders."

That is to say, the current Yao clan, the chieftain’s words hold no weight compared to the Elder. So if I agree to go with you to the Yao clan, then if the Elder wants to execute me, I wouldn't be able to resist. After all, the chieftain doesn't have real power, let alone me, a Saint who has never held any authority.

Feng Lingxi spoke to herself, looking at Zeno's gaze fixed on her. She opened her mouth and said, "You ask the Grand Elder why he called for me. If it's nothing important, I won't go."

"Lord."

Zheno reached out and stopped Feng Lingxi, his eyes cold as he stared at her. "This is the Grand Elder's order."

So what

Feng Lingxi looked at Zeno, "Didn't I just say If something happens, just say it. If nothing happens, I won't go."

"The High Elder said, 'You must go back with Zeno.'"

"If I refuse to go back to the Ghostly Kingdom with you, are you still going to kill me here"

Feng Lingxi finished asking, and Zeno's face remained expressionless as he said, "I will take you back to the Yao clan directly."

"Kidnapping, just like taking Wind and Rain Xi" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Zheno looked at Feng Lingxi, without answering, but also tacitly agreed.

"Why don't you tell me, did you kill Zhao Shi, and did you injure Feng Aotian"

Feng Lingxi glared at Zeno. Seeing that he didn't answer, Feng Lingxi sneered and questioned, "You don't even answer the questions asked by me, your Holy Lord. You don't take me, your Holy Lord, seriously at all. If I go with you, wouldn't that be like sending myself to death"

The High Elder doesn't want you dead.

Wind Ling Xi walked to Zeno's front, looking at his handsome face, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

" Zeno, you must know the Yao clan's secret as well. You also know why the Grand Elder wants to take me back. Why not stay by my side I can help you escape the Grand Elder's control…"

Zheno's eyes turned cold, his grip on the sword tightening. Feng Lingxi's gaze swept over his hand, realizing that everyone in the mansion was watching him.

"Zeno, are you really going to fight me"

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, "I rarely want to keep people, but you are an exception."

Feng Lingxi slid and fell, Zeno's body suddenly collapsed. Feng Lingxi crouched down, took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, making him swallow it.

Dugu Cheng walked over and glanced at the man on the ground, "Xi'er, what should we do with this person"

"The elder who wanted to take me back to the Yao clan, if I killed him directly, it would probably cause trouble. I poisoned him and locked him up for now." Feng Lingxi hadn't figured out how to deal with this person yet. She couldn't go to the Yao clan right now.

The Grand Elder knew she had returned and that he wanted her and Wan'er to go to the Yao clan. This clearly showed that he already had a plan in motion. It would be dangerous for her to kill him or go there rashly now. She could only leave him here.

"Wan'er is not yet ten years old. Bringing her now, wouldn't Grand Elder be planning to do it ahead of time"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "I'm not sure. Anyway, as long as Wan'er and I don't go, he can't do anything to us now. My mother is still safe."

Dugu City had Zino bound and imprisoned in the dungeon, his eyes full of worry. Things were happening so fast on Feng Aotian's side that when trouble arose with the Yao clan, they were already taking action, leaving him completely unprepared.

"Dugu Cheng, you must protect Wan'er."

Feng Lingxi instructed, "I don't know when I might be suddenly taken by the Yao Clan. If that happens, please don't act rashly. Don't put Wan'er in any danger."

As long as Wan'er doesn't go to the Yao tribe, she can't be used as a sacrifice, and the Grand Elder's plan can't proceed. Then, she'll have a chance to escape.

"Xier, this king will not allow them to take you away."

Du Gu Cheng held her hand, Feng Ling Xi's words made him feel fear, afraid that one day Xi'er would suddenly be taken away, afraid that something would happen to her.

Don't act like a child. Face reality. This day is coming soon, and I don't want you to impulsively run to the Yao tribe to demand their return. Remember my words: If I am taken, protect Wan'er well.

"Xier..."

"I can find a way to save myself. Don't forget, I'm not from your world. I won't die so easily."

Feng Lingxi reminded her repeatedly, she could feel that this day wouldn't be far off. Even though Dugu Cheng wanted to protect her, it was easy to dodge a bullet but hard to guard against an arrow. What was destined to come would always come.

獨孤城 nodded, “I remember.”

"Now Zhao's death can be basically confirmed to be done by Zeno. As for why Feng Yu Xi was taken away by the Yao tribe, I still don't understand it. However, I think Luo Li should know something about it."

The cause of Zhao's death was no longer important. What mattered now was locating Luoli's whereabouts and understanding Xiao Li's purpose for coming this time.

If what Li Wuyan said is true, Xiaoli hasn't lost her memory. Then, who did she help And why does she treat Luo Li this way Is it because she, like them, doesn't know Luo Li's purpose Or is she being restricted by someone

“Luo Li has been gone for several days. When he appears, Li Wu Yan will tell me first, and I’ll let you know then.”

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Alright, I'll take care of Feng Aotien here these two days. You make sure to protect Wan'er well, and also, return the power to the Emperor quickly, don't cause any trouble." This Regent position wasn't easy to hold. Back then, it was because of the power that Yuan Zhaodi had taken his military power. This time, he couldn't repeat the same mistake.

"Rest assured, this king remembers everything."

Dugu Cheng knew what he wanted. As long as the emperor was well, the government could be handed over to the emperor. All he needed was military power.

"Regent King, the Emperor asks you to return to the palace urgently, saying there is an important matter to discuss."ce of paper, looking at the content on it, Feng Lingxi's face gradually became solemn."What do you think now Do you want to bring down the Empress Dowager"Du Gu Cheng frowned slightly, "Du Gu Xiu coll...
