Chapter 637: Yao's Rebellion 7

with me"Dugu Yan's request made Feng Lingxi frown, politely refusing, "Your Highness, I'm not feeling well. Perhaps the King can accompany you in playing chess.""My beloved, come here."Dugu Cheng be...Feng Lingxi, when speaking, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at Luoli. Seeing that he was not surprised at all, her eyes darkened. Since he knew they came to find her last night, it was probably not difficult for him to know what they had said to her.

"How did you tell them"

Luoli held the wine on the table, took a sip, her dark eyes were deep like the sea, as if pondering, as if probing.

"They all said that, what could I say Of course, I told them to find my mother, if she is alive, let me see her; if she is dead, show me her body."

"Do you want them to search the watering hole again"

Luo Li placed the wine she had brought to her lips and then put it down again. Feng Ling Xi saw him like this, her brow furrowed slightly, "Not allowed"

"Don't you think this is playing with fire"

Feng Lingxi suddenly smiled, "Do you really think that sitting here will keep us safe, Chief Playing with fire can burn anyone, how do you know it won't be you who burns instead What if it's them"

Luo Li smirked, glancing at Feng Ling Xi's confident eyes, her smile deepened.

"You seem confident. It seems like you could handle this well even if I didn't come."

"That won't do, without you here, I am nothing. They wouldn't even look at me, this saintess of theirs. It's still the chieftain's presence that deters them, they dare not touch me, it is all thanks to the chieftain, I know that well."

Of course, those are just flattering words.

Now the Yao people all call her a Saintess, not because she truly is one, but because they are afraid to offend Luoli. She's just basking in Luoli's glory.

"I didn't expect you to know so much."

"This is natural. If you don't understand your own status and circumstances, how would I even know how you died"

Feng Ling Xi eats slowly and methodically, while the elders outside are waiting impatiently. She is relaxed and at ease here, all thanks to Luo Li.

"Chieftain, the elders are waiting outside, saying they have something important to see the Saintess."

Luoli glanced at Feng Lingxi, seeing that she was still not full. She said calmly, "Tell them to wait and don't disturb me while I eat."

Feng Lingxi's lips curled slightly, her movements became even slower. It took her a full half hour to finish the meal. She truly gave the elders outside a good wait, and there was nothing they could do about it. They were all left with a bellyful of frustration.

"The chief wondered what the elders had to discuss with him."

Feng Lingxi put down her chopsticks and suddenly asked.

Luo Li smiled, "Let's go and see for ourselves."

"Should the chief go too"

Feng Lingxi was a little surprised, "Wouldn't the Chieftain be afraid that they would say that he favors me, or even that he has ulterior motives towards me, which would tarnish his reputation"

Luo Li smiled; she really did dare to say it.

"Do you think they dare to talk about me behind my back"

"If they dare not speak in front of others, what can the chieftain do to stop them when they are behind closed doors"

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, got up and walked out. Luo Li Jun's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he still followed.

Feng Lingxi was a woman who left everyone baffled. While others shied away from certain matters, she addressed them openly and frankly, laying them bare on the table. This honesty earned his respect.

Feng Lingxi came out of the Holy Temple, Xiao Li had been waiting outside. Seeing the princess come out, Xiao Li hurried forward and said in a low voice, “Your Highness, all the elders are waiting for you, saying there is something important to discuss.”

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept over the ten elders, led by the Grand Elder. This time, she was accompanied by many clansmen. Each one of them saw her and owed her millions as if they had borrowed from her.

"Elder Council, I apologize for the delay."

Feng Ling Xi walked out, his voice low and soft. The crowd, just about to explode in anger, saw the Clan Leader emerge from the temple. One by one, they swallowed their words, forcing a smile onto their faces.

"See the chief."

Wind Ling turned around and looked at Luoli who had just arrived. She said, "These people's expressions change so quickly. It turned out to be Luoli. I knew it! These people were looking at her with eyes that wanted to eat her alive, yet they suddenly smiled at her."

Luo Li walked to Feng Ling Xi's side and stood there, looking at the group of people in front of her.

"I hear you're in a hurry to find the Holy Maiden and have important matters to discuss. What is it about"

"This..."

Everyone hesitated. This was an internal matter of their clan, and while the chieftain did have the authority to inquire about it, they had come to consult with the saintess. What did this have to do with the chieftain

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li's aura and had to say, these people were truly afraid of Luo Li. This just proved how high Luo Li's status was in the Yao Clan.

Well, can't you say it

Luo Li swept over the people in the room, seeing their silence, her tone grew colder, "Or am I not worthy of knowing"

The chieftain calmed down.

Everyone knelt down, clearly feeling the chief's anger. The coldness emanating from his body made them shiver, fearing that the chief would investigate further.

“Said.”

Luo Li's cold voice snarled, startling the oldest elder kneeling at the front. He shivered and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. His panicked eyes darted around helplessly.

“Reporting to the Chieftain, I came to discuss with the Saintess about what I spoke with her about last night. The Saintess said she wanted to go to the cliff at the edge of the forbidden land to search for the whereabouts of the Holy Lord. I and others are here specially to discuss this matter, please instruct the Saintess, when shall we depart.”

The third elder, Yao Zhi, spoke first. His voice was calm and steady, his inner fear already subdued. As long as he refused quickly enough, he didn't believe they could catch him.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's exactly what I was asking about."

The Grand Elder and the other elders readily agreed, fearing that the chieftain would come to them again later individually.

Feng Lingxi's lips curled slightly upwards. These people were quite interesting, they managed to pass the blame quickly. However, the Third Elder was more composed than she had imagined. That was no wonder he wanted the position of Saint Master.

A person of deep calculation and shrewdness is indeed qualified to be a saint.

"Well then, let the Saintess and you have a good discussion."

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi, "The Saintess might as well tell them your intentions, so that they won't be so worried about the safety of the Holy Lord."

Wind Lingxi clasped her hands together in a gesture of respect and gratitude.

"On my mother's behalf, I would like to express our gratitude to all the elders and clan members for your kindness. I am sure she would be deeply touched if she knew how much you care for her."

After the pleasantries, Feng Lingxi looked at the expressions on the faces of the elders. They were truly a rich mix.

After days of traveling, I slept soundly last night. Sorry for keeping you all waiting. Now with the snow and wind raging, this mountain is covered in it. If we really want to find her mother, we'll probably have to go around to the bottom of the cliff and then search the mountain.

"Search the mountains"

When Yao Shu heard this word, his whole body felt ill.

“Saintess, do you know how many mountains surround us Searching a mountain range like this is not so easy. Even with the Yao clan's abilities, I fear they would spend a year searching and still not be finished. What's more, there are tribes all around the mountains. If we were discovered by the tribes, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Windling looked at Luoli, "Is it that terrifying"

Nodding, Luoli acknowledged Yao Shu's point: “This won’t work. We need to find a different approach.”

Feng Lingxi touched her chin and began to think seriously. The elders watched her, each one becoming increasingly impatient.g if we will return to the capital"Feng Lingxi's expression was slightly cold. "This Dugu Su is indeed a good actor. When the Empress Dowager agreed to let you come to Xixian County, she should have k...
