Chapter 632: Yao's Uprising 2

Fu-ren gestured for Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi to take their seats, and said to Yao Qing, “Elder Yao, come sit down and have a meal with us.”Yao Qing respectfully said, "My subordinate wouldn't dare to sha..."The chieftain calmed down."

The Grand Elder saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly led the Yao clan up and down to pay respects. Luo Li glanced at them lightly, her tone faint, “Are you appeased”

Feng Lingxi only then understood what it meant to be awe-inspiring without anger. This servant by Luo Li's side was truly ruthless, but if it wasn't for Luo Li's instructions, he wouldn't have dared to make a move. Therefore, the real ruthlessness belonged to Luo Li.

"As you all know, the Yao people have strict rules. What happens to those who disobey the elders"

When Yao Zhi heard this, he hurriedly knelt down, his body trembling, "Chieftain, please calm your anger. The subordinate knows his mistake and begs the chieftain for another chance."

The Chief calmed his anger, the three elders have always served the Yao Clan diligently, cautiously and faithfully. I hope the Chief spares them this time.

"Stick to your duty." Luo Li said slowly, her eyes sweeping over the Yao clan members present. "Do you know what these three words, 'stick to your duty,' mean"

"Respectfully fulfill one's own responsibilities and obligations, or be content with one's current position and environment, and stay true to one's duty."

The elder spoke carefully, his brow furrowed with sweat despite the biting cold of winter. He felt an unusual heat radiating from him.

Luo Li smiled, a sly curve playing on her lips. Her gaze swept over the gathered clansmen. "Since we're all aware, let's begin the feast. After such a long journey, we must be famished."

Wind Ling Xi heard Luo Li say this, somewhat unclear why he didn't deal with Yao Zhi, giving him a chance to catch his breath. What if he turned around and bit back How could this be good

"Chief."

Luo Li stood still, staring at the elder who had opened his mouth. A slight smile played on her lips, but this smile sent a chill down the spines of all those around her.

"Grand Elder, wouldn't you still have me introduce the person beside me"

"Welcome, Holy Maiden! Please come in!"

The Elder immediately bowed deeply to Feng Lingxi. Seeing the Elder’s respect, everyone in the clan also knelt down and followed suit, bowing deeply. The atmosphere was more imposing than Luo Li's arrival.

It seems that the Chief's words carry more weight after all. Stand up everyone.

Feng Lingxi casually mentioned it, and the clansmen thought Luo Li would be angry. Unexpectedly, the chieftain smiled with a look of doting affection, leaving the clansmen speechless.

Luo Li and Feng Ling Xi entered the hall and sat in their respective positions. As the Yao clan members took their seats one by one, Luo Li said indifferently, "This is unprecedented."

The Yao clan fell silent in an instant. Everyone knew what that meant and began to speculate about the relationship between the Yao clan's saintess and the chieftain. After all, the chieftain was a figure who struck fear into the hearts of others; ruthless and decisive, never showing any mercy to those who made mistakes. It was for this reason that the Yao clan defined their chieftain as 'Rasha'.

"Xiao Li, come and eat."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li standing beside her, giving a faint order with her head slightly raised.

To these people, she didn't need to give them any face. As Luo Li said, these people all wanted to kill her, and she wasn't a good person either, so there was no need to give them any face.

Xiao Li glanced at Luoli, seeing him nod. She sat beside Feng Ling Xi and watched as the princess ate leisurely and contentedly, completely ignoring the clansmen standing nearby. This calmness truly impressed her.

"Get the Holy Maiden's Hall cleaned up for me, and don't slack off in front of the Holy Maiden."

Luoli spoke, and the High Elder quickly responded, immediately sending people to clean up the Holy Maiden's Hall.

"Luoli, this is good, you try some too."

Feng Lingxi gave Luoli a plate of mixed vegetables, completely ignoring the gazes of the crowd. Luoli was generous and accepted it with a grateful thank you.

After the meal, Feng Lingxi ate comfortably. However, the Yao clan members were uncomfortable. They never expected that the patriarch would bring the saintess back. They didn't receive any news about this beforehand. Tomorrow was the day the Saint Lord chose his successor, but now that the saintess had returned, the election could not be held.

As night fell, Feng Lingxi returned to the Saintess's Temple to rest. Luo Li, on the other hand, went to the Yao Clan's Sacred Temple. This was a special resting place set up by the Yao Clan for their clan leader. The return of the clan leader after ten years was a rare occurrence. Now that he was back, it meant that news of the Saint Lord’s assassination had spread.

The side hall of the Yao elder

The elders were all deeply troubled, each with a furrowed brow and a worried expression. They avoided the chieftain and met here to discuss countermeasures.

"Grand Elder, what do you think about this The chieftain has returned, and his relationship with the Holy Maiden seems very good. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape this time."

Yao Zhi's face was still swollen, and when he spoke, his eyes were full of anger. Today was the greatest humiliation of his life.

He absolutely couldn't just let this slide. This position of the Holy Master, he had to have it. He couldn't allow the Holy Maiden to take his place as Holy Master.

"Third Elder, you saw it too, the Clan Chief has arrived. We can only cancel the nomination event and follow the Clan Chief's wishes, allowing the Saintess to inherit the position of the Holy Master." The Great Elder sighed. He was unwilling, but what could he do He didn't want to die.

As long as he is still alive, there is a chance to seize the position of Saint Master. The chieftain is gone and won't be back anytime soon. When that time comes, kill the Saintess, make it a clean kill with no witnesses. Who will dare oppose me then

"The Great Elder is right, we should just cancel this election. After all, the Saintess has returned, and she is the rightful heir of the Yao Clan. It wouldn't be good for us to oppose her." The other Elders readily agreed. Anyway, with the struggle between the Great Elder and the Third Elder, wanting this position of Saint Lord would be impossible unless they both died.

The elders, each with their own ulterior motives, couldn't come to a consensus, which made Yao Zhiqi's face turn green with anger.

"You just handed the position of Sacred Master of the Yao Clan to the Saintess Don't forget how Yao Wan Ying died. We are all in this together. If the Saintess ascends and investigates later, who among you can escape"

"What do you suggest we do then"

Everyone looked at Yao Zhi, their faces filled with panic.

Yao Zhi's eyes hardened, he swept across the other elders present, his eyes narrowed, and he said fiercely, "If we don't do it now, we never will." As soon as he finished speaking, he made a gesture of slitting his throat. The expressions of all the elders changed drastically, and no one answered for half a moment.

"Remember, if she doesn't die, we all die."

"Does Elder Three have a plan"

The Grand Elder withdrew his expression and asked, Yao Zhi chuckled coldly, a calculating gleam in his eyes, he beckoned to them, and they began to discuss.

Feng Lingxi sneezed, and the snow outside started falling again. Although there were many maids serving her in the Holy Maiden's Hall, and the bed was piled high with thick quilts, it still couldn't feel warm.

It's not just that my body is cold, but my heart is colder.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Yao tribe is a paradise. But to her, it is another capital city, a treacherous palace filled with intrigue and deceit.

"My Queen, the hot water is ready. It's time for your bath."

Xiaoli watched as the maidservant adjusted the water temperature. This treatment did make the princess feel like a saint. The furnishings of this Saintess Hall were just like those in a princess's residence, which was fitting for the status of a princess.riedly extended her little finger and smiled at Dugu City, "Hook."Du Gucheng and La Gou casually sealed a deal, her eyes softened with affection. Feng Lingxi blushed, hurriedly withdrawing her hand, h...
