sixth consort. For Yao Fei Fei, he didn't hesitate to defy the Empress Dowager. He loves Yao Fei Fei, not you.Just because of what Dugu Xiu said, she let him go. How could she be so foolish Dugu Xiu h...Feng Lingxi looked at Du Gucheng's puzzled eyes, and pointed to Sun Cheng behind him, "I asked you to bring him here because he is very important to me."
"What about me"
Dugu Cheng, unwilling to give up hope, asked again, "Could it be that he's not escorting Sun Cheng"
"Let me bring the child with us." Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's sullen expression and smiled, "Sharing both joys and sorrows, I let you accompany me and take me home."
Du Gu Cheng's gloomy expression vanished instantly, replaced by excitement. He wanted to rush forward and hug her, but with so many people present, he could only hold back.
"Hmm."
"Mother, what can Wan'er do for you"
Wan'er looked at her mother. She knew the Yao clan had captured her to use her for a sacrifice. She also knew what sacrifice meant, and she didn't want to die. But if only her death could save her mother, she would go without hesitation. She was her mother's daughter and also a descendant of the Yao clan.
“Mother misses you three. She called you here so that you and your father can come with her to return home. Wan'er, Mother has found a way to open the gate to the Holy Land, and she doesn't need you. Mother will show you Mother's extraordinary abilities.”
Feng Lingxi finished speaking, not forgetting to add, “Do you trust your mother”
Wan'er nodded, but her eyes were filled with worry. "Mother, will you be in danger"
“Of course not, Mother has already been to the Holy Land. Mother knows how to open the gate to the Holy Land, so you don't have to worry about Mother, Wan'er. When Mother helps the Yao Clan open the gate to the Holy Land and unravel the millennium mystery of the Yao Clan, we'll go home.”
Wan'er bit her lip. Could she believe the words her mother was saying
Would her mother be lying to her She knew the Yao clan was going to make a blood sacrifice, and she was afraid her mother would take her place. But she didn't dare say it out loud, fearing that her mother would lock her up.
Windling patted Wan'er on the head, "Wan'er, trust your mother once, your mother won't deceive you, nothing will happen."
Wan'er raised her eyes to look at her mother’s pleading gaze. After a long while, she nodded.
"Good girl, mother has a task for you. You have to take good care of your younger siblings. When the gate to the holy land opens, you mustn't take them with you. Father and the others will be there with mother."
Wan'er clenched her fists, she didn't know why, but she felt that her mother was going to abandon them. However, she didn't want her mother to say she was disobedient, so she could only agree.
"Come on, smile. You're such a young girl, why be so glum"
Yet Wan'er couldn't smile. She looked at her mother, feeling a heavy weight in her heart.
"At night, you have to sleep with your mother."
Feng Lingxi tapped on Wan'er's nose, "What's going on in that little head of yours You're not listening at all."
"Mother, I..."
Wan'er's eyes welled up with tears, she turned and threw her arms around Dugu Cheng, sobbing.
Feng Ling Xi felt uneasy. She knew Wan'er knew about the blood sacrifice, and it weighed heavily on her mind. Anyone would be afraid at this critical juncture, but she couldn't reveal her plans yet. She could only bear this burden for the child.
"Wǎn'er, we listen to your mother."
Dugu Cheng glanced at Feng Lingxi, "With father here, she will be protected."
"Woooo..."
Wan'er held onto Dugu City, crying silently without a word.
Everyone in the room was made uncomfortable by Wan'er, especially Luo Li. He knew he was the culprit, but he didn't know how to explain it.
"Well, there you are, acting like someone's wronged you."
Mrs. Lu beckoned to Wan'er, "Come over here, Wan'er."
Wan'er had cried enough, wiped her tears, and looked at Lu Fu Ren. “I’m fine,” she said.
"Xier, look at this child, he's very strong."
Wind Ling nodded, "Waner, take your younger siblings to play. Don't think about it."
Wan'er responded and took Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi outside to play. Feng Lingxi's gaze lingered, however. Wan'er had just cried, and she was feeling downhearted. But, after persisting for a few days, everything passed.
Alright, let's get down to business.
Feng Lingxi took a deep breath and looked at Mrs. Lu, "Mrs. Lu, Bai Liuli is essential for opening the sacred land. I know it's a treasured heirloom of the Lu family, but this time, please lend it to me. Once I open the gate of the sacred land, I will definitely return it to you."
"Whatever belongs to the Lu family is yours."
Mrs. Lu took out the box, inside was white glaze, "As long as it can help you, white glaze is a treasure. If it's no use, I would disappoint the ancestors of the Lu family."
Feng Lingxi said thanks, but didn't immediately take the white glazed cup from Bai Liu-li. "Madam, this white glazed cup should stay in your hands for now. Don't give it to me just yet. I'll ask for it when I need it."
Mrs. Lu understood her meaning and put the things away.
What are you going to do next
"Sun Cheng."
Feng Lingxi shouted, and Sun Cheng, who was named, was pleasantly surprised. He had wanted to greet the Saint Master but never had the chance. He didn't expect that even he, a nobody, would be valued by the Saint Master. He happily stepped forward, "Saint Master, you command."
"Do you have saltpeter"
Sun Cheng suddenly realized and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, but it's near Linxi County. It's too far for us to go there. However, my subordinate brought some, I wonder if it's enough."
"How much"
Sun Cheng let out a sly grin and held up a finger, "One hundred kilograms."
"Beautiful."
It has to be said, Feng Lingxi nurtured Sun Cheng; he truly understood her. She sought him out precisely for this nitric acid.
"My subordinates each carry twenty kilograms. After all, since the Holy Lord found me, it must be related to this object."
Sun Cheng scratched his head sheepishly, a silly grin spreading across his face. He found it endearing and felt all his efforts were worthwhile when Feng Lingxi praised him.
"This journey to the Holy Land requires this item, listen to me."
Feng Lingxi whispered instructions to Sun Cheng, who then went into the palace with several other brothers to get to work. Feng Lingxi let out a sigh of relief; she had been worried that Sun Cheng wouldn't be able to find gunpowder in the Yao clan, but he had come through.
With gunpowder, she could act according to the plan.
"Xier, when are you planning to go to the Holy Land"
Dugu Cheng's eyes showed worry, watching what she was doing now, he felt more and more uneasy, afraid that she would drag him into it.
"When the saltpeter is ready, we will prepare supplies for our journey. This holy place is different from other places; two days should be enough."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, “But you stay here to take care of the children, I open the gate of the Holy Land, and leave the rest to the Grand Elder and the clan leader. My mission will be complete.”
It's probably not that simple. The Grand Elder will definitely want you to go in with them.
Luo Li sank into thought for a moment before speaking, "You should probably go in too."
"Of course, you have to go in. If I don't go in, you won't be able to find the Yao Clan's treasure." Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li, and the two met each other's eyes. Luo Li replied, "Then what do you need me to do"
"Cooperate with me."
Luo Li smiled, “This is natural. If I don't cooperate with you, what else can I do”
"Luo Li, you..." Feng Ling Xi paused, "Will you come out with me"
Wouldn't Luo Li want to be as insatiable as the Grand Elder, wanting everything in the Holy Land
