Chapter 1076: Ghost Saint Country 37

Lingxi's relationship, you'll be able to uncover her true identity."Dugu Yan bent down, her gaze locked on the Empress's eyes. Her aura of a natural ruler sent a chill down the Empress's spine.A huma...Seeing that Wan'er was about to cry again, the Great Elder spoke, "Take her back."

"Why, you can't, it cannot be taken back."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly waved her hand, her eyes showing as much disdain as possible.

The Grand Elder looked at Feng Lingxi, "She stays here, someone wants to kill her, you can rest assured."

Feng Lingxi frowned, looking at Wan'er's pitiful expression with disdain in her eyes. "If she followed me, she would only be hunted down. Besides, there are elders here who would definitely protect her safety, right Following me..."

Feng Lingxi didn't say the rest of her words, but the Great Elder roughly understood.

She despised Wan'er for being a nuisance.

The elders' attitude towards Feng Lingxi was simply appalling. "How could a mother dislike her own daughter It is what she truly desires to be with you."

Grandpa, please don't harm Mother.

Wan'er burst into tears, looking pitifully at the Great Elder.

The Elder Patriarch was bothered by her crying like this.

This beast has a harmless face, yet he does things no human should.

"Be good, listen to your grandpa. When you grow up a bit, grandpa will come get you back. Come on, don't cry. Your dad definitely misses you."

"Neither father nor mother cares."

Wan'er said in a pitiful voice, her tears like broken pearls strung together, making people feel heartbroken just looking at her.

"Grandmaster, please keep her. We'll protect her together..."

Before she could finish her story, the head elder interrupted her.

“You’re going into seclusion immediately, taking her with you. How will you seclude yourself We old men are too set in our ways to look after children. Have her mother take her back. When she's older, bring her back so we can help raise her.”

"Ali, I'm over sixty now. This old bone of mine can't keep up with a child."

"I'm going to retreat and break through the ninth level of swordsmanship."

"These days my body has been aching all over. I need to take some time to recuperate."

Excuses poured out, one after another. Ten elders, each with a fabricated reason, claimed to be terminally ill and unable to take care of their children.

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er, "See, no one wants it."

Wan'er bit her lip, tears of grievance streaming down her face, looking at Feng Lingxi pitifully.

"When you go back, I'll tell your grandma."

Feng Ling Xi's disgusted expression made the elders breathe a sigh of relief. They were willing to take her back just like that.

"Otherwise, esteemed elders, why not let Wan'er stay here for a few more days Perhaps by then, your conditions will disappear, and you might want Wan'er to stay" Feng Lingxi struggled, clearly unwilling to take Wan'er away. The elders shook their heads like rattles.

"My stomach hurts, I'll take my leave first."

"Retreat, retreat!"

"Tomorrow I will descend the mountain, Ali. You handle this matter."

The grand elder looked at the Treasure Pavilion, his face full of heartache.

"I have to go check out the Treasure Pavilion."

After saying that, he dashed inside. The other elders followed the Grand Elder in a gust of wind, slamming the door shut for fear they would follow in.

Feng Ling held Wan'er in her arms, winked at her, and the smug looks in their eyes made Luo Li roll her eyes from the side, a drama queen.

"Chieftain, what if Wan'er offered herself to you for raising"

Feng Lingxi, clutching Wan'er, caught up with Luoli's footsteps. "I'm serious. I think she does well following you. She's smart and quick-witted, and besides, this Yao clan is very beneficial for her growth."

Luo Li's footsteps came to a halt, her cold eyes swept over him, "No regrets"

Feng Lingxi hugged Wǎn'er, "Just kidding."

This guy has really changed, he's completely different from before.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

"When do you plan to take us down the mountain"

I'm leaving, but I still want to ask some questions while I have the chance. We went in circles for so long, and they didn't mention anything. This is really not right. I feel like their purpose in kidnapping Wan'er wasn't fulfilled this time.

It's impossible to just look at Wan'er and see what she's like.

"Tomorrow."

"So fast"

Feng Lingxi was a little surprised. “Is there nothing you want to tell me For example, what was the purpose of your kidnapping Wan’er this time Why did you make me come chasing after you and not mention any demands”

"Is there nothing you want Or do you want us to force you to do something"

Feng Lingxi was speechless after being retorted by Luoli's words. It was true, if she forced her to do things she didn't want to do, she would definitely get angry. But not making any demands felt wrong as well.

Perhaps there was some reason why they changed their minds.

When Wan'er is ten years old, we will send her to the Yao clan. By then, even if you don't want to keep her, you won't be able to.

Luo Li looked at Wan'er, and still spoke her final purpose.

"The elder originally intended to keep Wan'er and raise her himself. Now that things have turned out this way, sending her back is a way to make amends for you giving birth to her and raising her for ten years. In the future, she will be the head of the Yao clan and no longer your daughter."

Feng Lingxi stroked Wan'er's head, a feeling of reluctance rising in his heart.

However, thinking about the fact that there are still eight or nine years left, maybe Wan'er will grow up by then, and perhaps they will have found other candidates for the leader of their tribe by then.

"Luo Li, shouldn't the clan leader's successor be your child Why did you give it to Wan'er You don't seem sad at all. Don't you feel even a little bit unfair"

"No."

Luo Li's face was expressionless. "The position of clan leader is not inherited, but chosen by heaven."

"Nonsense."

If the choice of ascending to heaven were based on preference, then why would anyone bother trying their best in life

Luo Li glanced at her, "You don't understand."

“I didn't understand it to begin with. This Yao Clan, from start to finish, I did whatever you said. You said I was the Saintess, so I was the Saintess. You said I inherited the position of the Saint Lord, so I had to inherit it. But I have no real power. Now that I'm here, this Saint Lord is not even as good as a maid in this place.”

If it weren't for taking Wan'er away from here, she would have really wanted to ask those old men what the heck was going on.

The elder of the Yao Clan seemed to carry more weight than even the patriarch, Saint Master. This place was ruled by those old men, weren't these Saint Masters and patriarchs just their puppets

Although she had many doubts in her heart, Feng Lingxi still held back. For Wan'er's safety, she couldn't take the risk.

"It's not good to be the Fourth Princess in the Yuan Dynasty, what else is there to ask"

Luo Li's attitude was cold, and she avoided answering Feng Ling Xi's questions.

Feng Lingxi sighed.

"I really miss the Luo Li with a bright smile, back then I was quiet and you would coax me, smile at me. Now, it's just like how I used to be."

"We're not that close."

Luo Li got up, "Pack your things, we're going down the mountain tomorrow."

"What is there to pack I came with empty hands, and I'll go back down the mountain with only Wan'er."

"Take all her clothes."

Luo Li said and left the temple without looking back. Feng Lingxi hugged Wan'er, lost in thought.

Without mentioning his changed attitude after returning here, just from how he evaded the question earlier, it seems he hasn't been doing as well here as he imagined.don't talk nonsense. Third brother is not that kind of person."Dugu Cheng feigned a deep voice and said, Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu Yu's frustrated expression and chuckled, "You're right, I was being...
