Chapter 1244: War Clouds Gather

doubted if she had married Dugu City at all."Xiao Li."Feng Lingxi shouted, listening to the noise outside, she lifted her veil. Xiaoli hurried over, "Your Highness, you can't lift your veil, it's bad..."Daddy."

Waner ran over and threw herself into Dugu City's arms, her smiling face tilted up, her soft voice softening Dugu City's eyes.

"Wan'er, why don't you call Master"

Luo Li was a little downcast. He thought she would run into his arms, but unexpectedly, this girl didn't give him any face.

"You bullied my father, today I won't let you get away with it."

Waner pouted and sat on Dugucheng's lap, her eyes fixed on Luo Li, "You promised me you wouldn't bully my father."

"Which eye did you see me bullying him with"

Luo Li pointed at Du Gu Cheng, "You tell her, have I ever bullied you"

"Wan'er, he did not deceive Father."

Waner pursed her lips, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Father, don't be afraid, Wan'er will protect you. Wan'er doesn't believe him. He must have bullied you. Wan'er sees that Father is wronged."

"He..."

Luo Li is really furious.

"Wan'er, don't be unreasonable. The chieftain is your master. Since you recognize him as your master, you should respect and revere him."

Feng Lingxi walked to Wan'er's face and pulled her down.

"I'll keep you company, disciple."

Wan'er looked at Luo Li, but remained silent. She stood there, her big eyes fixed on Luo Li, without saying a word.

"Wǎn'er."

Feng Ling's voice rose a few octaves, "Wan'er, you're being quite dishonest to say things like that with your eyes wide open! It's not good for her to have this habit of speaking nonsense. She's only two years old after all, how could she possibly distinguish right from wrong Even if she is clever, she shouldn't do this. If she continues like this as she grows older, it will be impossible to correct."

Wan'er was scolded by Feng Lingxi like that, and she burst into tears in fright.

Luo Li hurriedly pulled Wan'er to her side and coaxed her softly.

"Don't cry, Master. Will you apologize to me Master shouldn't have bullied your father. Don't cry."

"Chief, you mustn't pamper her."

Feng Ling looked at Luo Li in disbelief. This wasn't pampering, this was spoiling her, it would hurt Wan'er.

"Wan'er, what the Clan Chief just said wasn't bullying Father. We were just talking."

Dugu Cheng explained that Wan'er was good at protecting her own, but she really shouldn't be allowed to wrongly accuse people indiscriminately.

"Don't speak to her like that, Wan’er is still a child. Teach her patiently, she's very smart. This is protecting you."

Luoli coaxed Wan'er, although he was uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't bear to see Wan'er crying. It really broke his heart.

Feng Lingxi was about to say something else, but Dugu Cheng stopped her.

"Since they are young, it is even more important to educate them from a young age. Being smart is a good thing, but it depends on the situation."

Dugu Cheng pulled Wan'er into his arms and reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.

"Don't just cry without reason, little girl. Your mother is speaking to you because she cares about you. Don't be sad. We won't make a habit of this."

Dugu City extended his little finger wanting to hook with Wan'er. Wan'er looked at Feng Ling Xi tearfully, nodded toward Dugu City, and extended her little finger.

"Master, I'm sorry."

Luo Li patted her head, "It's okay, Master doesn't blame you, it was Master's expression that was too scary."

Wan'er walked to Feng Lingxi's face, her eyes timidly looking at Feng Lingxi, and carefully pulled on Feng Lingxi's sleeve. Her expression made people feel distressed just by looking at it.

"Mother, I'm sorry. Wan'er won't dare again."

Feng Lingxi crouched down, looking at Wan'er's aggrieved expression and let out a soft sigh.

"Don't do that again, Mother doesn't like Wan'er lying."

Wǎn'er nodded obediently.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Luoli and told Wan'er, "You acknowledged the clan leader as your master, so you should show him the respect a disciple owes to their master. This is the courtesy that a junior should have."

"Wan'er remembers, and will never do it again."

Feng Lingxi nodded, then pulled Wan'er to sit down aside.

"Chief, you came all this way just to see Wan'er"

"Firstly, I checked on Wan'er. However, now that I've seen her, the injuries on her face are not serious and won't leave scars. This arm scrape..."

"She has been given medicine and is fine. Thank you for your concern."

Luoli looked at Wan'er who was no longer crying, "It's good that her injuries are not serious. When you return home, you will be much more at ease."

"It'll probably be a while before we can go back."

Feng Lingxi's words fell, and Luo Li immediately said, "I estimate that you will be able to leave the capital soon. As long as Prince Chen speaks up, according to the current situation, the Emperor should not stop you."

Dugu Cheng looked at Luo Li's smile on the corner of his lips. He was quick with news; before he could confirm anything, Luo Li already knew. It seemed that nothing could be hidden from him.

"The Chieftain's news is surprisingly prompt. I haven't received any word on this end yet."

Luo Li looked at Wan'er, "Do you want to go back to Linxi County"

"Think."

"This place isn't fun," Wan'er blurted out.

With so many rules and not allowing her to speak, she doesn't like it here.

"Then go back early, and when the time comes, your master will teach you martial arts."

"Really" Wan'er's eyes grew cold, then dimmed the next second.

My mother hasn't agreed.

Wan'er pouted, and this wronged expression made Feng Lingxi frown, "If you really like it, just follow the patriarch and practice martial arts well. You are still young, and it is easy to learn anything."

"Rest assured, I always keep my word."

Luo Li wore a serious expression. To Wan'er, he had only one responsibility: to stay by her side until she turned ten and then take her back to the Yao tribe.

"Mother, then I will continue to practice horse stance."

Wan'er hastily stood up and ran towards the courtyard. Feng Lingxi told Xiaoli to follow her. Luo Li had come today and had only said one thing, but not the other. With Wan'er present, it was inappropriate to say the rest.

"I didn't know the Chief would be visiting today, is there anything else"

Feng Lingxi asked, watching Luo Li stare at Wan'er's departing figure. The tenderness in his eyes was genuine, she could feel the love he had for Wan'er. The Ghost Saint Kingdom allowed Luo Li and Wan'er's feelings to grow stronger, this feeling was real.

"Then you'd have to ask the Crown Prince."

Luo Li turned to look at Du Gu Cheng, "I heard that the Crown Prince was looking for me, so I brought A Yan to the Prince's Mansion to find you. I wonder what the Crown Prince wants"

"I just want to know where you stayed after arriving in Beijing. That's all."

Du Gucheng's words made Luoli smile, she looked at Du Gucheng meaningfully, "It seems that Wang Chen doesn't really trust me. How can I say that I am Wan'er's master We have known each other for so many years, you don't trust me like this"

If he wanted to make a move, wouldn't Dugu City know

"What you've done makes this King uneasy, no wonder I overthink things."

Luo Li nodded in agreement, "You're right. Given our current situation, it's understandable that you wouldn't trust me."

The atmosphere was silent, no one spoke again, just sitting there, feeling a little awkward.

"When you are able to leave the capital, please let us know. If you don't mind, I and Ayan would like to travel with you. What do you think, Your Highness"

Of course.

Luo Li stood up and looked at Li Wu Yan beside her.

"Didn't you say you had something to tell the Crown Princess You haven't said a word the whole time. Are you waiting for me to speak for you" just a word from the empress dowager."I know, now you don't even care about me."Feng Lingxi calmly said, “Your Majesty is jesting. Even as the Saint Master of the Yao Clan, I wouldn't dare to look do...
