over a decade. This Xiuxin Garden was specially built by the Emperor for the Dowager Empress. She dislikes the palace and prefers to cultivate Buddhism in Xiuxin Garden, praying for blessings for the..."Saintess, the Chieftain is here."

A maid's voice came from outside, requesting something. Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow and stood up just as Luo Li walked in, changed into a white garment. The entire person seemed to have added a few more points of detached elegance, but even so, it was not enough to catch Feng Lingxi's eye.

Luo Li glanced at the tub beside her, "It seems like you're planning on taking a bath."

"Since the chief knows I'm about to bathe, how did he come in Doesn't he fear seeing what he shouldn't"

Luoli smiled and shook her head, "You can rest assured, it won't be like that. If you were bathing, the maids wouldn't dare let me in. I've already asked."

"What do you want"

Feng Lingxi walked to the table and sat down, pouring a cup of tea for him.

Luo Li looked at the decoration inside the hall, "Are you satisfied with this place"

"As for what's satisfactory or not, I think the chieftain should tell us what he plans to do next."

She wouldn't let her ask about her mother, and she didn't know what to do with these Yao people next. There was no reason, she couldn't start trouble out of the blue, could she

"You can ask your mother about her return, but pretend you don't know about the fall."

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li, seeing him nod, and continued, "Only this way can we expose their true colors. Tomorrow was supposed to be the day they select a new tribe leader. With you back, they definitely won't be able to hold it. In two days, I will declare that you have inherited the title of Saintess. Then we'll see."

"That's interesting, then."

Feng Ling Xi, just thinking about it, feels like their expressions must be so rich, they probably won't be able to sleep tonight, right

Luo Li smiled, "Since you're back, of course we need to handle things properly and leave no room for error. These maidservants were chosen by me for you, they are all here to protect your safety, and you can rest assured that they are absolutely loyal to you."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow and looked at the maidservants of the Sacred Maiden's Hall. No wonder they were all light on their feet; it was all Luo Li's arrangement.

"Where is Yingwei"

"These are them," Luo Li said, looking at the maidservants.

Feng Lingxi glanced at them. Seeing Luoli give her a look, ten maidservants walked up to them and bowed, "Greetings, Holy Maiden."

"How is it not the chieftain"

Shadowguards only obey their own master, as for others, they do not execute orders.

Feng Lingxi was quite surprised. Looking at the ten beautiful women in front of him, he really couldn't tell how capable they were.

"If you don't want to see so many, you can tell them to step back. They will protect your safety in a concealed location."

Feng Ling's eyes swept over these maids, probably around twenty years old, well-trained and poised.

"What are their names"

"Please bestow a name upon the Holy Maiden."

Feng Ling Xi raised an eyebrow, "A name"

"From the start of their training, Sentinels had no names, only numbers, awaiting a new master to bestow upon them a name."

"Ten people, I'm even afraid I won't remember their names."

Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, she pondered for a moment before speaking.

"How about this Since they are Shadow Guards, let's give them the surname Shadow, starting from number six, Shadow Six, Shadow Seven, and so on in order of age. What do you think"

Luo Li frowned slightly, looking at Feng Ling Xi's serious expression, she couldn't help but smile.

"As expected of the Fourth Princess Consort, this naming style is truly unique and domineering. However, why start with six"

"Wishing them all the best, I hope they'll follow me and always have smooth sailing."

Feng Lingxi's idea surprised Luoli, but it also gave her great comfort.

"I have not yet thanked the Saintess for her name."

"Thank you for the name, Saint."

Ying Wei quickly automatically sorted themselves, each reporting their own name. Feng Ling Xi listened, feeling a little strange, but she thought it was reasonable after all. After all, ten names at once, she was really afraid of forgetting them.

"Fourteen and fifteen stay, the rest continue as guards."

Feng Lingxi saw that there were too many of them, so she left the two youngest behind. That way, with Xiao Li, there would be three of them.

Watching the other Shadow Guards retire, Luo Li stared at Fourteen and Fifteen, frowning. "Why leave the two youngest behind"

"Little Six, since he is the eldest, will naturally handle it better. The younger ones should take good care of him."

Luo Li was forced to nod, her shadow guard following her.

"Is there anything else, Chief I'm going to bathe."

Luo Li was ordered to leave by her. She stood up and instructed Fourteenth and Fifteenth, “Be sure to protect the Saintess’s safety and take good care of her diet and daily routines.”

Fourteen and Fifteen glanced at Feng Lingxi, "Yes."

After Luo Li left, Feng Lingxi ordered the Fourteenth and Fifteenth, "Since you both always listen to me, then you stay here guarding the door. I'm going to bathe and no one is allowed to disturb me."

Yes, Holy Maiden.

Looking at them at the door, Feng Lingxi hurriedly beckoned Xiaoli, "Do you think they are reliable"

This Shadow Guard was sent by Luoli, claiming to obey her every word. But she knew nothing about these Shadow Guards and doubted if they truly only listened to Luoli as she claimed.

"Your Highness, it is wise to be cautious in all things."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "I'll go take a bath, you stay and watch over me."

Xiao Li was helping Feng Ling Xi bathe and change. Fourteen and Fifteen guarded the door of the Sacred Maiden's Temple. As soon as Xiao Li entered the bath tub, the Great Elder arrived with the Second Elder to see her. Fourteen and Fifteen stopped them, "Two Elders, the Sacred Maiden is bathing."

Even the two elders, no matter what, would not dare to barge in.

"Give us a heads up and say that we need to see you."

"Once the Holy Maiden has finished bathing, I shall enter and inform her."

Fourteen and fifteen, like door gods, did not give them any face. The two elders looked at each other, then at them, “You are the Shadow Guards”

The two of them glared at each other, without answering them.

The Grand Elder looked at them, certain they were the Shadow Guards. Unfamiliar faces, the demeanor of Shadow Guards. He couldn't believe the Clan Chief was so good to the Saintess, sending them down right after she arrived as a Shadow Guard.

"Holy Maiden, Yao Chu has a request to see you."

The Big Boss yelled loudly, Feng Lingxi who was bathing frowned slightly, opened her eyes and looked at Xiaoli, "Go see what's going on"

Xiaoli watched as the princess rose, wrapped in a bath towel, and walked to the door, looking at the two elders without fear.

"Two elders, please wait a moment, the Saintess is bathing, please remain calm." Having said that, he looked at fourteen and fifteen, his eyes full of suspicion. These Shadow Guards couldn't even stop these two old men

Yao Shu looked at Xiao Li and said in a deep voice, "Please trouble Miss Xiao Li to pass on a message, saying that we have something important to discuss with her."

Xiao Li responded and returned to the hall. Feng Ling Xi had already put on her clothes and was dealing with her hair. Seeing Xiao Li come back, she asked lightly, "How is it"

"Fourteen and Fifteen kept them at the door, but they didn't seem very good at stopping people."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "I'll teach them more in the future. After all, they were born as shadow guards."

"I understand, Your Highness. Would you like to see them"

"Have them wait in the outer hall. I'll be with you shortly."

Little Li responded and walked to the outer hall, asking the fourteenth and fifteenth to arrange their accommodations there. She then went inside to help Feng Lingxi with her dressing and grooming.a glance, and she immediately lay down. The doting expression on Dugu Cheng’s face just moments ago was replaced by fury. The person who entered was so frightened by his rage that they didn't dare to...
