Chapter 1446: War Clouds Gather (Part 267)
y!"Dugu City's complaints made Feng Lingxi laugh and cry. To protect his innocence, the man told her this."Becoming consort to another man is inevitable. Since the Empress has bestowed her upon you, w...Wind Ling Xi hoped that Wan Er, upon arriving in the Western Ancient Country, could receive news and see her.
Lu Nian brought her to Xigu Country, she is trustworthy.
It's been five years, she wonders if Wan'er will still recognize her mother, if she will blame her for abandoning her and not looking for her in all these years.
The anticipation in her heart, because of the guilt she felt towards Wan'er, gradually disappeared. Her beautiful eyes dimmed, and a layer of worry appeared in her gaze.
"Little Wind, when you go to the Dà Yuán Dynasty, can you bring me along"
Tao Su looked solemn, he promised Mrs. Lu to stay by Xiao Feng's side, repaying their kindness, Xiao Feng was with children, someone had to protect them.
"What are you going to Dàyuán Dynasty for"
Feng Lingxi was full of doubts. Tao Su was about to speak, but Feng Lingxi said, "If you are repaying me for helping you, there is no need, I don't need your repayment."
You're overthinking it. I just want to take a trip to the Great Yuan Dynasty. Once my affairs are settled, the people here won't need me anymore. I can't keep being a bandit leader forever. I need to get out there, clear my head, and see more of the world. If you think it's inconvenient, that's fine.
Tao Su knew that if he said this, Feng Ling Xi would agree.
If she didn't talk about repaying her debt, she wouldn't feel like he was staying by her side on purpose.
As expected, Feng Lingxi heard Tao Su's words and smiled awkwardly.
"Sorry, I misunderstood. If you really want to go to Dayuan Dynasty, of course you can. However, following me, there's no guarantee of good food and drink."
"I can support myself." Tao Su took a deep breath. "Being an assistant isn't out of the question either."
Feng Lingxi, listening to Tao Su's humorous words, a brilliant smile lit up her face. "Then do as you please."
"Thank you, Xiaofeng."
Tao Su hurriedly thanked her. Seeing Feng Lingxi's mood improve, she ordered the carriage to stop. The three of them rode up the mountain and returned to the village in the evening. From afar, they watched the villagers inside the village, watching their busy figures. Although this mountain was poor, over the past year, they had cultivated wasteland here, growing crops to feed themselves. Their lives were simple, but they lived freely and happily.
"Siyu Siqi, Mama is back."
Wind Lingxi shouted loudly, dismounted her horse, and walked towards the village. She circled around but couldn't see either of them, nor even her master. Wind Lingxi frowned, searching for them in the village with confusion.
"Xiaofeng, Yuan Xiu Shen Yi is taking Siyu, Siki, and a group of children to practice martial arts at the back mountain. They'll be back for dinner."
It's almost dark, yet you still train.
Feng Lingxi frowned, just about to go to the back mountain to find someone, Tao Su followed up, "I'll take you there."
"Si Yu Si Qi, go!"
Feng Lingxi and Tao Su arrived at the back mountain, and from afar, they could hear their master's strong voice. As his words fell, the figures of the two siblings, Si Yu and Si Qi, rose into the air. They lightly tapped their toes, using their momentum to fly onto a tree. Their movements were smooth and continuous, and thunderous applause echoed beneath them.
"Have you all seen clearly This is the benefit of martial arts training. As long as you learn these basic skills, if you ever encounter bad people and can't fight them, we can still outrun them. And with my secret, special poison, no matter how capable they are, they won't be able to catch you."
"Master is truly impressive!"
Feng Lingxi clapped her hands and walked towards her master. Yuan Xiu, the divine physician, saw his apprentice return. His serious expression vanished instantly, replaced by a playful grin as he approached, looking at Feng Lingxi with delight. "Girl, you're finally back! I was about to die of boredom."
"Mother."
Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi shouted with delight, jumping down from the tree. Feng Lingxi's heart clenched, rushing forward. Tao Su quickly caught up, leaping forward and catching the two small bodies before they hit the ground. He landed gracefully and set them down.
"Mother!"
Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi excitedly rushed into Feng Lingxi's arms, holding onto her tightly and refusing to let go. Their words were filled with longing, which instantly made Feng Lingxi lose her temper.
"You're so hard to handle, you always complain about wanting to find you."
Yuan Xiu, the divine physician, looked at Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi with a hint of disdain, but his tone was full of doting.
"Sorry to worry you all, Mother promised she'll be back in three days."
Feng Siyu released his mother's hand, his little face full of seriousness.
"Mother, did the Lu family agree Is the Lu family fun"
Feng Lingxi smiled and nodded, "The Lu family is fun, and I also promised my mother that I would help find out the truth for the house and Tao Su."
"That's fine then."
Feng Siyu let out a breath and reached out to wipe the sweat from Feng Lingxi's forehead, "Mother, are you tired Siyu will take you back to eat."
"Mom, are you not tired Have Siyu and Siqi been good these days Did they bully Grandpa"
"There...," Yuan Xiu, the Divine Physician, shouted loudly. Facing Feng Siyu's warning gaze, he instantly lost his temper and whispered, "No."
Feng Lingxi, seeing her master's reaction, knew without asking that Siyu had given him quite a fright.
"Si Yu, you shouldn't treat Grandpa like that. He is your mother's master, and we should respect our elders and love the young. Remember that."
"Siyu has never loved me, his little sister." Feng Siqi grumbled in dissatisfaction. Feng Siyu shot her a cold glance, then instantly lowered his head, losing all his confidence. He moved closer to Yuan Xiu Shenyi, the old and young man staring at Feng Siyu with no backbone.
“Mother, it was Grandfather and my younger sister who disobeyed. That’s why Siyu spoke up against them. If they had listened, Siyu wouldn’t have been disrespectful to the elders.” After Feng Siyu finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Xiu Shenyi and Feng Siqi, who were hesitant to speak. His gaze warned them both, and they obediently shut their mouths.
Feng Lingxi looked at the expressions of the three of them. Although Siyu was born a minute earlier than Siqi, she was so sensible that it made Feng Lingxi's heart ache. Besides, Master, he was like a child again. On the other hand, Siyu, despite her young age, acted like a little adult.
Let's head back, it's getting late.
Feng Lingxi looked at her master and Siqi, "You guys shouldn't always worry Siyu, he's practically an old man."
"Mother, Siqi has been the best. I didn't do anything. It was all Grandpa."
Feng Siqi acted coquettishly, Feng Lingxi picked her up, looking into Feng Siqi's eyes that sparkled with brilliance, he said in a deep voice, "Siqi, you cannot shirk responsibility. If you are wrong, you must correct it. To know one's mistakes and be able to improve is truly great."
"Mother, I'm sorry."
Feng Lingxi watched as her daughter apologized with her head down. The little girl's face was etched with grievance. Feng Lingxi knew that Siqi had been pampered by her master and Siyu since she was young, with a lively personality. But after all, she was still a child, and the mistakes she made still needed to be acknowledged.
"Apologize to them."
"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'm sorry, brother. Siqi won't dare to do it again."
"Don't come back and curse my precious granddaughter."
Yuan Xiushen held Feng Siqi in his arms, rebuking her with displeasure. Seeing Feng Siqi's eyes welling up, his heart ached unbearably.
"Master, you can't spoil her…"
"My granddaughter, I'm used to spoiling her; it brings me joy."
