Chapter 1052: Ghost Saint Nation 13
he was now smiling sweetly and treating both Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng with kindness."Sister, Lord Wang, my father said that if you want grain, just go to him."Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Cheng's slight..."Do you have any money"
Feng Lingxi finished asking, Shangguan Huan was slightly surprised, but quickly reacted.
"I still have money to buy medicine."
Feng Lingxi nodded, "Okay, if it's not enough later, I'll ask you for more."
Shangguan Huan didn't understand what she meant for a moment, watching Feng Lingxi leave, his eyes were lost. She wasn't as bad as they said, she was just sharp-tongued but kindhearted.
I don't know why everyone in the world wants her dead.
After the medicinal bath, Qiu'er's poison had noticeably subsided. Feng Lingxi gave her acupuncture and administered medicine before letting her rest well. Only then did they return to their rooms to rest, preparing for a long journey tomorrow.
The journey to the Ghost Saint Nation was long, and with the Southern weather being worse than the Northern, the heat could even make people faint. After a rain that day, came scorching sunlight. The group had to rest at midday because of the heat; they couldn't travel any further. Moreover, as they approached the Ghost Saint Nation, the weather became increasingly hotter. As Shangguan Huan mentioned, they still had to cross a desert. Those who could navigate quickly would pass through it easily, but those who couldn't would have to endure it for a long time, even risking death.
Along the way, Feng Lingxi heard news of Wan'er and Luoli. She learned that Wan'er had fallen ill with a fever during their journey, and her heart clenched with worry. However, she was soon relieved to learn that Wan'er was recovering quickly and that Luoli had been taking good care of her.
After that, Feng Lingxi rarely heard news of Wan'er and Luoli fighting. Occasionally, the news she received was just that Luoli brought Wan'er to live there, and the mischievous children attracted the attention of the innkeepers. There wasn't much more description.
Feng Lingxi, hearing this, also let out a breath of relief.
Wan'er was fine. She obediently followed Luoli, and since she hadn't been hurt, she had enough motivation to chase after her.
Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. Under Shangguan Huan's leadership, Feng Lingxi had arrived at a town near Guisheng Kingdom within a month. This place was in the midst of scorching heat. The people here dressed differently from those in Dayuan Dynasty. Their clothes were more open, revealing their arms and legs. Here, such attire was as commonplace as eating, and people didn't bat an eyelid.
However, Feng Lingxi and their appearance stood out because of their attire, making them seem out of place. Their journey was marked by curious glances from passersby along the way.
"It's hotter here, and everyone dresses like this. To them, we are foreigners."
Shengguan Huan explained that since Qiu'er woke up, her body has been getting better and better. Shengguan Huan has also been doing his best to help Feng Lingxi and arrived here as quickly as possible hoping to help her find her daughter soon.
"It's alright, we were just passing through. It's understandable that customs are different."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, “Rest for a night and head to the Ghost Saint Kingdom.”
Dugu Cheng nodded. He was curious about this place too, but they weren't here to play. They came here to save Wan'er. How the people here lived their lives didn't matter to him.
A traveler stayed at an inn. As usual, Ye Xi asked the waiter about Wan'er's news in the evening. Hearing that Wan'er had arrived here five days ago, he confirmed that Wan'er had taken a five-day head start on their journey.
It seems Luoli isn't leaving in a hurry.
"It'll be soon."
Shangguan Huan looked at Feng Lingxi, “According to what the princess said, since Luoli is from the Ghost Saint Country, he naturally knows the fastest route to the Ghost Saint Country. We have been delayed for a few days on the way. According to his usual speed, he shouldn't be five days ahead of us in terms of travel distance. At least it should take eight days or more.”
"He gave me the map. It'll take us about two months to get there. He probably doesn't know we have your help, catching up so quickly like this. Things could happen along the way, I understand."
"It's still a few days' journey to the Ghost Saint Kingdom, but I don't know where this Yao Clan location you mentioned is."
Shangguan Huan looked at Feng Lingxi, "So, about going to the Yao Clan, I can't help you."
They know we're here, they'll naturally send someone to pick me up.
If their goal was her, how could they not know she had arrived.
Feng Ling xi wasn't worried at all about not finding the Yao Clan, she believed Luo Li would definitely make arrangements, and she just needed to wait.
Luoli brought Wan'er back to the Yao tribe and directly carried her in to see the elder.
This is the daughter of Yaozu Shengzhu, Dugu Wan, and also the daughter of the Four Princes of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
The elders carefully looked at Wan'er who was sleeping, their brows furrowed as they discussed in hushed tones for a long while before finally saying, "Let's arrange for her to stay here first. The Lord should arrive in Gui Sheng Guo in the next few days. We will bring her when we meet."
"Elders, there's something I want to discuss with you first."
Luo Li hesitated for a moment before speaking, "This period of time, I brought Wan'er back to Guisheng Kingdom. This little girl is exceptionally intelligent. Although she's only over a year old, she's very clever. I think when Feng Ling arrives, I will return her to Feng Ling Xi to raise. The former heir, would be better suited for it."
"Return"
The one who spoke first was the elder of the Yao clan, with silver hair and a white beard. He looked at Luoli solemnly.
"Who said we were going to return her to the Lord Since she is the future leader of the Yao clan, this person needs to stay here and be raised by us. We will raise her and train her into a qualified heir"
Luo Li frowned, hearing the words of the Great Elder, her eyes showing some worry.
"Grand Elder, this girl is only a little over a year old. Leaving her here, how will she learn at such a young age"
"How we learn is our concern, you just need to fulfill your mission well, and don't worry about other things."
"A-Li, how can you still not understand The successor of the clan leader's mission is like this. She is related to the future of the Yao Clan from birth. How could the Great Elder entrust her upbringing to her parents Don't forget your parents' fate."
The elder spoke earnestly, his gaze lingering on the child in his arms.
Although she is still a child, children's minds are the purest. Teach her how and she will do as you say. From a young age, we must let her know her mission, otherwise when she grows up, she won't want to. How can Yao Clan's future be secured then We ten elders have lived until now, waiting for her arrival. She is the future of Yao Clan. Can you understand how high our expectations for her are
Luo Li glanced at Wan'er with worry and said, "I will follow the teachings of the two elders."
"Go down first."
"Yes."
Luo Li held Wan'er and went down, the Great Elder's eyes full of worry.
Luo Li was touched by this child, he even forgot his mission.
“Let me handle bringing the Holy Master. I’ll send someone to fetch her. After she arrives, we can complete this task and our merits will be fulfilled.” The second elder sighed, “I hope this Holy Master is better than Yao Wan Ying.”
"That's tough."
The Grand Elder looked at the other elders, “Don’t just stand there dumbfounded. Think carefully about how to make Feng Lingxi keep her daughter. Otherwise, our entire plan will be ruined.”
"Big brother, and Ali too. This child has been through so much, he doesn't seem like one of us anymore."shoulder, and looked at Feng Lingxi's slightly furrowed brow. He reached out and smoothed it, "This king knows your temperament, Xi'er. Although you are very outstanding and beautiful, you are not the...
