Chapter 304: Seizing Power 59
act."Dying would be so simple, he thought death was that easy. He wanted to die so simply, but he also needed Xiaomi's approval. If Xiaomi said it was okay for him to die without suffering, then she..."But I don't want to be any Saint Master. Even being a Saintess, people want to kill me. If I were the Saint Master, wouldn't that make even more people want to kill me"
Feng Lingxi finished her words, her head lowered even further. She was afraid of death and didn't want to be a saint.
"Xier, whether you are the saintess of Yao Clan or not, your life is extraordinary. Don't worry, Mother will protect you, and Fourth Prince will protect you too."
Yaowan Ying said anxiously, looking at her like this, she felt even more guilty. Had she been wrong She should have told her about her identity early on. Perhaps that way, Xi'er wouldn't be so repulsed by her.
"If you had protected me well, I wouldn't have fallen off the cliff."
Feng Lingxi's words caused the smile on Dugu Cheng's face to disappear. He looked at her head bowed and whispering her condemnation, but this was the pain and regret that had always been in his heart. He shouldn't have let Xi'er go out with Sun, the deputy general, it was his fault.
"Xi'er, falling off the cliff was an accident. With your previous skills, you wouldn't have fallen off at all. Mother knows you fell because Xiao Li brought people to look for you. Someone hanging off the cliff lost their grip and fell onto you, smashing you off the edge. That's why you fell."
"Xiaoli"
Feng Ling looked at her mother in surprise, "You said Xiaoli knew me before"
"She's your mother's maid, left here to protect you. Didn't you know"
Du Gu Cheng watched the shock in Feng Ling Xi's eyes, secretly lamenting, it's over, Xi'er will know this now.
"Since Xiao Li knows me, why when I asked her, she said she doesn't know me Are you all lying to me"
Feng Ling Xi stood up, very unhappy, her eyes red.
"Xier, that's not right."
Duke City hurriedly pulled her hand, "Xiao Li didn't tell you she knew you because she doesn't know your situation here. Moreover, this is the Dynasty of Araw Summer, she is from the Great Yuan Dynasty. If she said it, who knows what would happen She hid it, also out of necessity."
"Is everything you said true You're not lying to me"
Dugu Cheng looked at her staring into his eyes and said softly, "Xi'er, you need to understand Xiao Li's situation. This is the Chao of Huang Xia, not her Great Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, she was sold here, and she must learn to protect herself. If she doesn't know about the good and bad of Qingyun Hu and directly recognizes you, what if something happens How will she explain it to Madam"
Feng Lingxi looked at her mother, and seeing her nod, the unease in her heart eased somewhat.
"Little Li has been with me for so many days, and she hasn't told me."
She knew that after you fell off the cliff, she searched for you day and night. For you, she was even kidnapped by traffickers and brought here to be sold. You said, is she truly sincere towards you
Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Lingxi's previous frustration disappear. Finding her like this, she really couldn't blame Xiaoli.
"Sit down, let's get to business."
Dugu Cheng was comforting her, Feng Lingxi looked at Yao Wan'ying, "Since you are all here, when will you help me recover my memory and take me back"
"Recovery of memory depends only on yourself. If you want to go home, wait for your mother to finish her business and she will take you home."
Yao WanYing reached out her hand wanting to hold hers, but thinking about her previous action, she held back.
"Are you here about that traitor"
Yao Wan'ying glanced at Dugu Cheng, "Did you tell her"
"Shi'er bumped into Yao Feifei and others at the wine house. She heard Yao Feifei wanted to find Shi'er and steal Zi Xing."
Yao WanYing's face darkened, "This Yao Feifei is really bold and outrageous, she even dares to target ZiXing. I shouldn't have let her off that time. Yao Qing truly has the ability, I was wrong about him."
"My lady, Yao Feifei wants the Purple Star because it was only a collaboration between Yao Qing and outsiders in the past. We just need to find these collaborators, and we can then lift the crisis of the Yao clan."
Yao Wan-ying took a deep breath, "For now, this is all we can do."
"Xier, is Zixing on you"
Feng Ling hurriedly took off the Zi Xing pendant from her neck and gave it to Yao Wan Ying. Yao Wan Ying took it and fiddled with the position of the pendant, causing the Zi Xing attached to it to fall out. It was a purple crystal, sparkling and extremely beautiful.
"Besides being beautiful, what use is this Purple Star Why do they all want it"
Yao Wanying grasped Feng Lingxi's hand, placing the Zixing in her palm. She pricked her finger, letting the blood drip onto it, muttering words for a while before saying to Feng Lingxi, "This Zixing is the holy object of the Yao clan, passed down through generations of sacred masters. Xi’er, take good care of it."
"Why did you just draw blood on it and chant a spell"
"Blood is the transfer of inheritance, I'm not chanting spells, but assigning your new identity."
Yao Wan'ying looked at Xi'er's eyes filled with curiosity and felt very pleased. Even if she really had an accident, Xi'er could protect the Yao clan for her.
"Then, should I also pass the position on like you in the future"
"When you have children in the future, choose one to pass on the throne to her, and let her continue to protect the Yao clan for you."
Feng Lingxi let out a soft "oh," watching Yao Wan'ying carefully put the Zi Xing amulet together and place it on her. She asked again, "Why does the Yao tribe need such a sacred object Isn't it just a purple stone"
"Purple Star is no ordinary stone; I don't know exactly what it is. It's been passed down through generations of Yao Clan leaders, the key to unlocking their treasures. It absolutely cannot fall into the hands of someone with ill intentions, or it would cause chaos throughout the world."
"Treasure"
Feng Lingxi's eyes lit up, and she excitedly asked, "If I have Zixing, does that mean all the treasures of the Yao Clan will be under my care"
Yao Wan Ying looked into her eyes, shining with light, and was moved to tears.
"Yes."
"Feng Lingxi smiled brightly, "In that case, am I quite wealthy"
Dugu Cheng looked at her with eyes full of fondness, seeing the gleam of admiration in her eyes.
Yes, you are rich.
Not only is he wealthy, but he is also powerful.
"Then I'm going to buy lots and lots of delicious food."
Feng Lingxi excitedly counted, while Dugu Cheng and Yao Wan Ying listened to her enumeration. The two shook their heads. The treasure of the Yao clan in her hands was only used to buy food. If it were someone else, they would have bought the entire world with it.
"Mother, how much money is in the Yao clan's treasure, and why do so many people want it"
It is said that it is inexhaustible, and can be taken without end.
Feng Ling Xi's eyes became even brighter, her expression so adorable it was both endearing and amusing.
“These treasures absolutely cannot fall into the hands of others. The Yao clan's hiding place has been secret for millennia, and the entrances and exits are changed immediately once someone betrays them. Inside, there are many formations left behind by their ancestors, all designed to prevent anyone from taking the treasures.”
"Money doesn't always guarantee happiness."
Just like him, born into royalty, although he had power and status, he was surrounded by treachery everywhere. It wasn't as straightforward as an ordinary person's life.
"It's easy to want money, but having a large treasure guarded by you is extremely difficult. You have to be on guard everywhere, fearing those with ill intentions who want to steal the treasure." Yao Wan'ying looked at Feng Lingxi, "Xier, the treasures of the Yao clan can be used, but it depends on who uses them."hed eyes."Why haven't you left yet""How did you open the door"Dugu Cheng reacted and asked back, glancing inside, "Is Wan'er asleep""Go in and sleep with her."Feng Lingxi walked out, heading straight...
