Chapter 1636: A Lifetime Together 44

heads!""Your Majesty, the Four Kings, please forgive us. My lord and I have all taken the medicine. It's just that the Fourth Royal Consort is weak; it will take some time for her to wake up."As soon...“There are so many uses for it. The Yao clan bestowed upon us the title of Holy Master precisely because of our extraordinary nature. You see, the blood flowing through our veins is the only one capable of opening the gates to the Yao clan’s sacred land. And to open those gates, besides our blood, we also need fragments of the treasure map—the ones your mother gave you.”

Yao Wan Ying's voice was very low, to prevent eavesdropping, Feng Ling Xi also suppressed her voice to the lowest.

"Mother, please wait for me."

Wind Lingxi glanced around, looking at the dilapidated basin not far away. She picked it up and placed it beside her, tapping on it once. "Dang," it echoed. Wind Lingxi looked around again, "Mother, do you think someone is eavesdropping"

"Of course, some people eavesdrop. Otherwise, why would your mother speak to you in such a low voice But don't be afraid even if you heard it, I took care of everything before I came, they can't kill us anyway."

“Since they can’t kill us, and we are so useful to them, why does Mother still allow herself to be imprisoned by them, chained like this” Feng Lingxi clutched the iron chain, staring at the lock, gritting her teeth in anger.

"Mother likes this."

Yao WanYing stood up, the sound of the iron chain was loud, but Yao WanYing was not affected at all, as if the iron chain were a thread.

Feng Ling Xi had always been unsure of her mother's martial arts abilities, but seeing her now effortlessly bearing the weight of that thick iron chain, she thought her mother's skills must be quite formidable.

"Xier, come tell your mother where you've been all these years and what happened five years ago."

Yaowan Ying sat back down, looking at Feng Ling Xi's eyes full of sympathy, wanting only to care for her.

Feng Lingxi told her mother about all the love and hate she had with Dugu City over the years. Yao Wan'ying listened, but didn't say much. However, when she mentioned the Lu family, Yao Wan'ying's face changed a little.

"Although Lu Hao was quite a playboy, he has changed a lot later on. His woman is a tough one, but the fact that she treats you this way already makes my heart content, Xi'er. If Lu Hao comes looking for you, remember to acknowledge him as your father. Only then can the Lu family openly take you away."

"Mother, can the Lu family find this"

Yao Wan'ying smiled, "The Lu family can't be found, the Great Elder will bring them back. And Mother told you, this Lu family is also from the Yao clan, and they have something very important to the Yao clan. I never thought about it in my whole life, but my relationship with Lu Hao actually helped you."

Feng Lingxi, hearing her mother's words, felt a sour ache in her heart.

Her mother still likes Lu Hao, her words still try to save him. She hasn't thought about what would happen if she stayed here.

"Mother, there's something I want to ask you. Is Wan’er really the leader chosen by the Yao Clan Are all those things you told me to be true"

Yao Wan'ying's smile vanished instantly. She looked at Feng Lingxi, then around the surroundings, and lowered her voice, "

"Xier, even if our mother and daughter have to sacrifice everything, we can't let them take Wan'er. We must ruin their plan and prevent them from harming Wan'er."

Feng Lingxi nodded, saying solemnly, "Mother, rest assured, Wan'er is my daughter. Just as you would sacrifice for me, I would also sacrifice for my daughter."

As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps echoed outside the hall. Yao Wan'ying hurriedly cast a glance at Feng Lingxi before returning to her own seat.

"Someone's here."

As footsteps grew closer, Feng Lingxi saw the man at the front. He was the Elder of the Yao Clan. It had been six or seven years since they last met, but his appearance hadn't changed at all. Time hadn't left a mark on his face; he still looked radiant and energetic.

The elder walked before Feng Ling Xi, looking at her stare at him, no longer with the sharpness of old.

"Lord, you've finally returned."

"The elders came for me personally. How could I have possibly escaped"

Feng Lingxi's words made the Grand Elder chuckle with satisfaction. "You actually know yourself, and you know you can't escape. It's impossible to make you come back willingly, so we have no choice but to bring you back."

"Grand Elder, since you went to so much trouble to bring me back, why don't you just be straight with me and tell me your purpose That way I'll know why you captured me."

"Don't you really know"

The Elder's gaze landed on Yao Wan Ying. He saw her sitting there, her left foot curled, her eyes fixed on him, a smirk playing on her lips. A surge of anger, inexplicable and intense, rose within him.

"Yao Wan Ying, what's with that expression"

Feng Lingxi was startled by the elder's sudden high-pitched voice. Looking at his furious eyes fixed on her mother, the gritted teeth and murderous look that wished to kill her mother truly shocked her.

Now both she and her mother are prisoners of the Yao clan. This Grand Elder has gone mad, it's best not to provoke him further.

"I laugh at this hypocritical face of the Grand Elder, I really don't know how someone like you could exist in the Yao Clan."

"Yao Wan Ying."

The Grand Elder gritted his teeth and shouted, “Don't provoke me, you should know this is not good for you.”

"Want to hit me again Come on, if I, Yao WanYing, even frown, then consider me defeated."

"Mother, no."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly pulled her, shaking her head and pleading with her eyes. Dealing with such a person, the more you anger him, the easier it is to cause trouble. She didn't want her mother to be punished again.

"What are you, don't call me mother, I don't have a daughter like you. You don't deserve to be my daughter." Yao Wan Ying said, raising her hand and slapping Feng Ling Xi's face with a slap, making Feng Ling Xi's face burn. The pain was scorching hot, she covered her face and looked at her mother, her eyes filled with grievance.

"Well done, that slap was really brutal. Yao Wan Ying, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless towards your own daughter. No wonder we couldn't capture you for nearly a decade."

Feng Lingxi covered her face and looked at her mother. Seeing her glaring at her with fury in her eyes.

What are you looking at Feel sorry for yourself Do you deserve to

Faced with her mother's sudden change, Feng Lingxi still didn't understand what she wanted to do. However, she knew that her mother was helping her. Just now, a slap successfully diverted the attention of the Great Elder to her mother.

The Grand Elder crouched down, pinching Yao Wan'ying's jaw with such force that it deformed her mouth. Feng Lingxi watched from the side and hurriedly said, "Grand Elder, you came here to talk to me, didn't you"

"Mind your own business."

Yao Wanying raised her hand again, ready to slap Feng Lingxi. But this time, the elder stopped her, grabbing her wrist tightly and preventing her from striking.

"Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, yet you're so cruel to her. Since you dislike her so much, why don't I just send her to the Holy Land"

The Elder mentioned the Holy Land, and Yao Wan-ying burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing"

>g at Chu Xi. She looked at the smile on Chu Xi's lips and then at the rain still falling outside. Turning to Feng Lingxi, she said, "Princess, let's go upstairs for something to eat. We'll leave when...
