Chapter 1450: War Drums Beat 271

maneuvered by her."Who gave you the guts to rob this, do you know who's territory this is"Ye Xi fiercely rebuked, the bandit leader looked at Feng Lingxi, "Unexpectedly, I was calculated by you woman,..."What's wrong"

Tao Su followed Feng Ling Xi's footsteps. Seeing her stop, the joy on his face gradually disappeared.

"Should I take Siyu and Siqi down the mountain with me"

"Why not bring them You're planning to stay down here for a long time, aren't you Yuan Xiu the Divine Physician has already bought you a mansion. Bringing them along will allow them to settle in."

Tao Su's words came from the heart. He knew Feng Lingxi didn't want Lu Jia's people to know about Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi, but they would eventually find out. Since they were staying there, it was impossible to hide them forever.

Feng Lingxi thought about it and said, "Then let's pack up. We'll go down the mountain tomorrow. It's already noon now, and we wouldn't be able to make it back before dark."

Although I'm eager to see Wan'er, the journey down the mountain is long and dangerous. With two children in tow, I have to prioritize safety and avoid reckless actions.

"Then I'll make the arrangements. Let's depart early tomorrow morning."

Tao Su finished speaking, and went to prepare first. Feng Ling Xi went to the courtyard, watching the two children who were playing so engrossedly, she stepped forward and shouted, "Si Yu Si Qi."

"Brother, Mother is calling us."

Feng Siqi heard the shout and hurriedly pulled her brother to Feng Lingxi's front, standing with sweat all over her head, but unable to hide her excitement. Feng Lingxi held a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from their foreheads and led them to the table to sit down, pouring water for them to drink.

"Si Yu Si Qi, tomorrow we will go down the mountain, mother will take you to see your elder sister."

"Mother, has Sister Juan'er arrived"

Feng Siqi's voice was very pleasant. Seeing Feng Lingxi nod, she excitedly exclaimed, "Siqi can finally meet her elder sister."

"Mother, has he come too"

Feng Siyu wasn't as happy as Feng Siqi. Instead, he asked Dugu City, "That father," he never wanted to say it out loud. He knew that after his parents' separation, he had never called him "father" again.

"Wǎn'ěr came with Lù Niàn. I don't know him."

Feng Ling Xi saw Feng Si Yu’s dejected eyes and instinctively hugged him, “If Si Yu wants to see him, your mother won't stop you. After all, he is your biological father.”

"No need."

Feng Siyu pushed Feng Lingxi away, her tiny face full of coldness, her demeanor resembling that of Dugu City.

"Siyu didn't want to see him, she was just afraid that if he came, he would pester her and her brother."

"Brother, let's ignore him and go see sister."

Feng Siqi was a girl, she didn't think that much, plus being the youngest, her thoughts weren't that complicated. She just wanted to see the people she wanted to see.

Feng Siyu hummed softly, a look of deep contemplation on his small face that belied his years.

"Siyu, you guys go say goodbye to the children. Tomorrow we'll be going down the mountain, and we'll only come back to see them if we have the chance in the future."

Feng Lingxi tried to divert his thoughts, lest he be always entangled in this matter.

"Mother, I'll come find you in a bit."

Feng Siyu pulled Feng Siqi and ran away. Feng Lingxi watched the reactions of the two little ones, took a deep breath, Siyu was really like her, always overthinking things.

"Siki, after you come down the mountain, if he really comes, you are not allowed to call him, or I will not recognize you as my sister."

Feng Siyu solemnly warned, “We are our mother's children born after her divorce from him. We all carry the surname Feng. Remember that.”

Remember, Siqi should listen to her brother.

Feng Siqi saw that her brother was unhappy, and she put away her usual laughter.

As twins, they were naturally connected. Feng Siyu's feelings were something she understood best.

"Brother, if Uncle Tao wanted to be our father, would you agree"

"If Mama likes it, Siyu likes it."

Feng Siyu looked at Feng Siqi, “We’re all grown-ups now, remember to not always rely on mother. Mother is a girl too, she needs love and care, you know”

Feng Siqi nodded vaguely, her expression sullen and silent.

She didn't want Mr. Tao to be her father.

"When you see your older sister tomorrow, be well-behaved. She misses Mother more than we do, so we can't compete for her attention. We need to be understanding."

"Brother, what if she takes Mother for herself and doesn't recognize us"

Feng Siqi's eyes welled up with tears. They were just children too, shouldn't they be the ones letting their older sister take care of them

Feng Siyu patted Feng Siqi's head, "Sister won't. Besides, you have your brother's love, I don't. Maybe he doesn't even like me. After all, he's a prince. Maybe he has many sons and daughters. Sister might have it harder than us."

Then, when we see him, we'll team up and beat him up.

Feng Siqi clenched her fists, gritting her teeth.

"Give it up. Mother said his martial arts are hundreds of times stronger than ours. He's a renowned figure in the martial arts world, we're no match for him. Besides, there's no way we could attack him."

Feng Siyu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Feng Siqi's head, extinguishing her excitement in an instant.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Feng Lingxi took Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi in a carriage down the mountain. They were accompanied by Chang Ming and Tao Su, who had come down to investigate the case of Tao's family being wiped out.

The Lu family

Lu Hao and Mrs. Lu looked at the young girl standing beside Lu Nian. Her eyebrows, her features, her bearing – she was indeed Feng Lingxi's child. Even her aura resembled Feng Lingxi so closely. Facing them, Wan'er showed no fear whatsoever, remaining calm and composed. It was just this innate cold and aloof air that made people wary of approaching her.

"Father, Mother, this is Wan'er."

Lu Nian reached out and waved at them. There was no warm embrace, no excited words, just this kind of gaze

"Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu."

Wǎn'er opened her mouth, and the two of them came to their senses and smiled foolishly.

"Just like Xi'er, these eyebrows and eyes, this bearing, it's so much alike."

"Beautiful."

Lu Hao smiled and looked at Wan'er, "A daughter is a reflection of her mother."

"Our Lu family's granddaughter, she's really pretty."

Waner listened to the two elders whispering about her, and subconsciously looked at Lu Nian beside her. Her heart was filled with frustration. She had been standing here for a while, wouldn't they plan to let her stand here all day

"Father, mother, you frightened Wan'er like that."

Lu Nian hurriedly pulled Wan'er to sit down, but just as she grabbed Wan'er's hand, she was slapped away by Madam Lu. Madam Lu immediately smiled and took Wan'er's hand, "Come quickly to Grandma here and sit, let Grandma have a good look at Wan'er. Five years apart, you've grown so much."

"Grandmother Lu, Wan'er was very young before. Now she is all grown up. I heard that my mother has been seen in Xigu Kingdom. I wonder if she has ever come here"

Mrs. Lu was so happy to hear Wan'er call her grandmother that her eyes crinkled into slits with smiles. "She's already here, and she knew you would come. She'll be back home in the next two days, and then you'll get to see her."

"My mother admitted to recognizing the Lu family"

Wan'er looked at Lu Nian in confusion. If she remembered correctly, her uncle had never been recognized by their mother. Given their mother's temperament, how could she possibly accept them so easilyy She sees that Gulli's feelings for Yumo are truly deep, but I hope Gulli can get out of this relationship sooner rather than later."Yǔmò, who told you that Nán gōng huá yún was killed by Nán gōng hu...
