Chapter 1069: Ghost Saint Country Part 30

y fault for failing to manage properly. I...""Father-in-law, get some rest. You have to face the court tomorrow, so it's best to get an early start."Feng Aotian's forehead was covered in cold sweat. H...Feng Ling Xi's heart felt like she had eaten honey, sweet and indescribable. Even more unbelievably, Wan Er actually told her she loved her.

"Wan'er, your mother loves you too."

Feng Lingxi's voice trembled slightly, as if all the emptiness and chaos were filled by her words.

"Mother, don't scold Wan'er."

Waner's voice was small, but her words were clear. Feng Lingxi trembled, let go of her, and looked into her fearful eyes. He reached out and touched her head, "Waner, your mother told me."

Feng Ling Xi picked her up and sat beside her, beginning to explain to her the reason why he had been harsh with her. Although she didn't know if Wan'er could understand, he said it anyway. At least Wan'er would know that he wasn't truly angry with her, and that was enough.

"Wan'er, although you used this method to get your mother up the mountain this time, it made the elders very unhappy with you. If they truly resent you, who knows what dangers might arise In the future, remember not to do this again, understand"

Feng Ling whispered an explanation to his daughter, watching as she gazed at him with a look of half-understanding that tugged at his heartstrings.

"From now on, leave it to mother to figure things out. Waner just needs to be a good girl and listen to mother."

Wan'er understood the words, nodded obediently, and hugged her.

Feng Lingxi looked at her with eyes full of tenderness and gently stroked her head.

Luo Li left and came back very quickly. She was followed by the granddaughter of the Great Elder, Xin Shui. Seeing Feng Ling Xi and Luo Li's holy temple, she became even more enraged, her eyes full of jealousy as she stared at Feng Ling Xi.

"A-Li gege, how many times do I have to tell you before you believe me I really didn't hurt her. She bumped into me, and she scraped herself."

Luoli turned around, glaring at her, "She's just a child. To have this kind of thoughts, you shouldn't paint everyone with the same brush of wickedness. Don't even say that I know your true nature, even if I didn't, I wouldn't want anything to do with you."

"Why, could it be that this woman is better than I"

Xinshui angrily pointed at Feng Lingxi, her eyes almost blazing with fire. Feng Lingxi innocently took the blame, clueless about why she was dragged into their emotional turmoil. Before she could speak, Xinshui pointed at Wan'er again, “You tell me, isn't this Wan'er your illegitimate daughter with someone outside”

"Watch your mouth! Wan'er is my and Dugu Cheng's daughter. Your foul words are no wonder Luo Li doesn't want you."

Wind Ling Xi glared fiercely, "Don't assume everyone thinks like you. Luo Li and I are just friends."

"Friend"

Xinshui smirked, looking at Feng Lingxi, her eyes flicking to Luo Li. "Where do you see friendship in the way he looks at you"

Upon hearing this from Xin Shui, Feng Ling Xi hurriedly looked at Luo Li. Seeing him frown, as if he had heard something terrible, he cleared his throat twice, "I say, Chieftain, are you trying to make our relationship public knowledge"

She's got some seriously good eyes.

Luoli was filled with helplessness, her pleading gaze turned to Feng Lingxi, hoping Feng Lingxi could help him solve this woman. She was just too bothersome.

"Although Wan'er isn't his biological daughter, she is his disciple. As the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day, a father for life.' By calling you 'Father,' she's setting up a complicated relationship, making things ambiguous between us, wouldn't you say"

Feng Lingxi's words had just fallen, and Xinshuiqi stomped her feet in agitation.

"See, I told you, he has a crush on you. Now you know, right"

"Okay."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xinshui, "So what, I don't mind, what do you mind"

He is my fiancé.

"A venomous woman, are you worthy" Luo Li's tone suddenly turned very cold. This "venomous woman" made Feng Lingxi feel a bit vicious as well. What did this Xinshui do to make him call her a venomous woman

In terms of viciousness, she was also quite capable. She never let on about her feelings or intentions.

Xinshui's face was pale, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes as she looked at Luoli with sorrow in her gaze.

"Ah Li gege, you really hate me"

"What kind of person are you that I have to tell you"

Luo Li's tone was cold and gloomy, her eyes refusing to meet Xin Shui's.

"Don't mention marriage again, or I'll be sick."

Feng Lingxi really felt Luo Li's anger beside her. Looking at Xin Shui's unwilling expression, she was quite curious. What exactly did she do that made Luo Li so disgusted with this woman.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Xinshui covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Why are you speaking so harshly No matter what, she's just a young girl. Just let her go."

"You don't understand." Luo Li replied with three words, thinking of the heartless things she did. His heart grew colder and colder, even a surge of murderous intent arose within him.

After a moment of silence, Luo left spoke, "Keep your distance from her. That woman is ruthless. Don't let her get close to Wan'er. She's back this time, and I fear she'll stir up trouble again."

"You mean, she just got back"

Luoli responded, "She probably came back because she heard I was back."

"Did Wan'er not know what she had done before"

Hearing Luo Li's response, Feng Ling Xi really felt a chill for Wan'er. If Xinshui had always harbored feelings for her, with Wan'er's mischievous personality, wouldn't Xinshui have killed her by now

When she gets angry, she doesn't even spare her own parents and siblings, just look out for Wan'er.

Luo Li's words truly startled Feng Ling Xi. She subconsciously hugged Wan'er tightly. This innocent-looking girl, who seemed so pure and harmless, turned out to be so vicious. Thankfully, Wan'er was away during her mischievous phase; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"You don't want to marry her because she killed your beloved woman, or..."

"I promised I'd let you leave, don't ask about anything else."

Luo Li's attitude was completely different from before. Besides mentioning Wan’er, her attitude towards everything else was cold and indifferent, let alone asking for any other answers.

Stay here for a few days, and don't go see them alone until I give you notice.

After giving his final instructions, Luoli left.

Feng Lingxi was very curious about Luo Li's attitude and also knew what kind of identity he had here. To say that he didn't have a status, if it were any other elder who called her over, could she refuse

If he were working with the High Elder, why wouldn't he let her meet him alone

"Wan'er, is Luo Li always like this"

Wanni shook her head, glanced around, seeing no one, and whispered, "Master is fine."

"That's strange."

It seems like she's not up to anything good this time by going into the mountains. The Yao tribe probably isn't as indifferent to worldly affairs as rumors suggest.

"Lord, the Grand Elder has summoned you to dine in the Hall of Feasts this evening."

"Are you with the ten elders and the chieftain"

Feng Lingxi curiously asked, "This maid before us has light steps and sharp eyes. She's a skilled fighter. Does the Yao clan intend to have someone keep an eye on her"

"This subordinate doesn't know anything, they just serve you. They will let you come over for dinner in the evening."

I understand.

Feng Lingxi watched her leave, then leaned down to Wan'er's ear and whispered, "Wan'er, go to the door and see if that person has left. See how many people are outside."

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!it until she wakes up before asking”"The son doesn't want her to feel that we saved her for the sake of the Yao Clan and the marriage between Aohua and Xia."He could feel so much happening to her. If...
