your eyes not good" Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotiand, "Being the General of Zhen Guo, having bad eyesight, this position will be unstable. Don't blink, it might break."Feng Aotian's face darkened, "...When Dugu Cheng heard Feng Lingxi's words, he wasn't surprised. She had been preoccupied lately, and now that she brought it up proactively, coupled with the fact that there had been news from her mother-in-law but no sign of her, it seemed likely that Xi'er's concerns were also related to her mother-in-law.

"But what did you find"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "A few days ago, my mother called me."

Dugu Cheng's eyes widened in surprise, "Where is she then"

Feng Lingxi fell silent for a moment, telling Dugu City everything that happened that day. Naturally, this included her mother's warning about Luoli and her intention to investigate the matter back in the Yao clan. She told him everything because he needed to know.

"Could it be Luoli who harmed the mother-in-law"

"Whether he sent people to do this, I haven't figured out yet. At first, it was said to be the elders who did it, but my mother mentioned it when she visited me recently. I suspect that I have always been kept in the dark by Luoli."

Feng Lingxi let out a sigh, "Actually, I don't know if my guess is right. You know, Luo Li helped us so much. If he wasn't a good person, why would he help me He could have taken the opportunity to eliminate me, why would he let me succeed as the Saint Master"

Perhaps he had his reasons, or maybe there was some misunderstanding.

Dugu Cheng also didn't believe that Luoli was such a person. He had witnessed with his own eyes how many people chased and killed Xi'er, and how much Luoli had paid behind the scenes. Moreover, they had met each other in the Jianghu. In his opinion, Luoli wasn't this kind of person at all.

“I don’t know. I think I should start investigating from when my mother fell off the cliff in the Yao Clan. You know about my mother falling off the cliff, right Externally, not many people in the Yao Clan knew the details. I can only go back to the Yao Clan. Maybe I can find out the answers I want from their mouths.”

Feng Lingxi's eyes were clouded with worry. The affairs of the court had yet to be resolved, but those of the Yao clan persisted. Now that her mother-in-law appeared and spoke to Xi'er about these things, it was both a warning and a beginning.

"Go back yourself and be careful. There's nothing here. I'll take care of your mother and Wan'er."

Feng Lingxi responded, "I'll be back after I finish checking."

She had too many things she wanted to investigate. After much thought, she could only go back, but she wasn't sure if she would be able to find out anything.

When the news that Feng Lingxi was leaving reached Shutai's courtyard, she looked at Wǎn'er, who was silent. Shutai hugged her and said, "Do you want to go say goodbye to your mother"

"No."

Wan'er opened her mouth without hesitation, her voice sweet and childish, with a hint of anger.

"My child, how are you just like your mother, so strong When she leaves, it's a month at the fastest, or several months at the slowest. By the time she returns, she might even be pregnant."

Waner remained silent, playing with herself.

The Imperial Noble Consort looked at Wan'er's temperament with an expression of helplessness.

"This child, how come they can't speak at all."

When Shu Taifei turned around, Wan'er looked at the entrance of the courtyard, her eyes filled with disappointment.

Wind Lingxi brought Xiao Li back to the Yao Clan. This sudden return to the Yao Clan shocked the elders within the clan. They knew Wind Lingxi was in Linxi County, but they didn't know she would come back suddenly.

Looking at the Lord on the temple, the elders were all curious. Upon returning, they immediately convened a meeting, which greatly frightened the elders' hearts.

“I came back because Elder Six went down the mountain without permission.”

Feng Ling Xi's words made all the elders present panic, unsure why she brought up going down the mountain privately.

"Lord, these six elders went down the mountain to practice, he's not really considered going down the mountain privately. There's no rule in the clan that says elders can't go down the mountain."

Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!

"To deceive the purpose of going down the mountain, do you elders not think that this is against the rules"

Feng Ling swept his gaze over the five elders who were speaking. Both this man and Elder Six had been chosen back then. This Fifth Elder, Yao Bi, was considered someone of status within the Yao Clan. He had been selected initially because of his upright values, but now it seemed like they were all just an act.

"Yao Bi, if I'm not mistaken, the clan rules clearly state that falsely reporting one's travel purpose is a violation of the rules, considered betrayal against the clan. Am I wrong"

Feng Lingxi's question caused Yao Bi to change color, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "The Holy Lord is right. The behavior of the Six Elders is indeed a violation of the clan rules."

"Lord, perhaps Elder Six has something he's reluctant to speak of"

“The Ghost Saint Nation.” Feng Lingxi spoke, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the elders present. “I presume you are all familiar with it. This is where the clan leader resides. These six elders, as the six elders of the Yao Clan, although they manage the external clansmen, have gone to the Ghost Saint Nation, where the clan leader resides, under the pretext of practicing in the mountains, concealing their whereabouts. How do you explain this”

"I dare ask, Holy Master, is it true that the Six Elders went to the Ghost Saint Kingdom We are unaware of this matter."

"You mean, I'm lying to you"

Feng Lingxi looked at Yao Bi who was speaking, "All the elders here have extensive connections. What I said is true, and I believe the clan members have already reported it. As for why you don't know about this, I would like to ask all of you."

"I am already aware of this matter and can testify to it."

Yao Song spoke, "I haven't reported this to the Holy Master yet. I wanted to investigate clearly what the six elders were doing on this mission."

“So it’s not that you don't know, but rather that you haven't looked into it”

Feng Lingxi looked at Yao Bi, “Elder Five, if I’m not mistaken, you have always been close to Elder Six. Didn’t he tell you when he went to the Ghost Saint Country”

"Lord, I swear to the heavens, though I am on good terms with the five elders, I truly have no knowledge of this matter."

Yao Bi's words made Feng Ling Xi's eyes narrow slightly. Looking into Yao Bi's determined eyes, it didn't seem like a lie.

"So it seems I misunderstood you."

Yao Bi secretly wiped the cold sweat from his brow. This Feng Lingxi had just returned and immediately focused on him and the Fifth Elder, mentioning this matter. Could it be that she was directing her anger at them

"Lord, since the actions of these six elders violate tribal rules, according to the rules, their positions as elders should be revoked and they cannot remain as elders."

"Grand Elder, your words are going too far. The truth of this matter still needs to be determined when the Sixth Elder returns. Why are you so quick to judge"

"What is my purpose"

"I am naturally doing this for the Yao clan, for the Sacred Master. The clan rules are clear as day. Anyone who violates them must be punished. These six elders knowingly broke the rules and were caught. Shouldn't they be punished"

Even so, it's important to clarify. With the Six Elders absent, punishing him privately is unfair. If everyone were treated this way according to clan rules, wouldn't that chill people's hearts

Yao Bi asked, looking at Feng Ling Xi's eyes were also upright and honest, as if he was the master of Yaozu.

"According to you, we should capture the Sixth Elder and interrogate him before punishing him"

Windling watched them arguing. This Yao Bi was defending the six elders at every turn, his words full of favoritism towards this particular elder.

"Yao Bi, what do you mean by that The clan rules clearly state that concealing one's whereabouts is punishable as treason. You're defending Elder Liu like this, are you colluding with him"n the Ghost Saint Nation and what you said about saving Wan'er, it's all a lie"“I saved your daughter, Wan'er, because I simply don’t want to help you raise her. As the chieftain of a Yao tribe, I can...
