alace on business, you mustn't confuse the emperor here. Our sisters are at a disadvantage now, if we truly fight, neither of us will benefit, and it'll only benefit Concubine Yun and the Empress.""Do...To put it simply, they're avoiding her, afraid she'll catch them off guard.

"The lord of this Ghostly Sacred Nation is not someone we can meet just by wanting to. Our group, as foreigners in our attire, have been here for over ten days. They've probably already heard about us. They don't want to see us, so they are avoiding us."

Feng Ling Xi took down the Purple Star, Dugu Cheng watched her, his eyes full of worry.

"You go to see him as the Saint Master of the Yao Clan. If this Ghost Saint Nation's ruler doesn't even know about the existence of the Yao Clan, what will you do if you are considered a treasure offering"

"Just wait and see. It's not easy to meet the King of this Ghost Saint Nation. And his dozen or so princes, they're even harder to get close to."

Feng Ling's eyes flickered, and Dugu Cheng suddenly realized.

"Ye Xi, Xiao Li, you two go now to investigate the prince of this Ghost Saint Country. See what's going on with these princes and come back and tell us."

Feng Lingxi nodded, taking Zi Xing into her hand.

"I hope they won't disappoint me."

Within the Yao tribe, Luoli didn't receive any news of being allowed to descend the mountain. Watching Wan'er frolic with a little rabbit nearby, this girl had been surprisingly well-behaved these past two days. The more she was like this, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

"Wan'er, you've been so well-behaved these past two days. Have you finally understood and decided not to provoke the elders anymore"

Wan'er raised her eyes and nodded obediently.

Luo Li looked at her with confusion, while Mo Bing watched Luo Li from the side.

"Chieftain, Feng Lingxi and Dugu City have been in the capital for over ten days, and they haven't shown any sign of leaving. It seems like they are still waiting for us to find them. Should we..."

Before she could finish, Wan'er raised her eyes to look at Mo Bing. When she mentioned Feng Lingxi and Dugu City, Wan'er knew that she was talking about her parents. She looked expectantly at Luo Li.

"Go down the mountain and see what they're up to."

Mo Bing nodded in understanding, and after she left, Wan'er walked to Luo Li's side and looked at him.

"Want Daddy, want Mommy."

Luo Li picked her up, "Let Mo Bing go and find out about your parents first. The elders are unwilling to let me go down the mountain right now, so I have to find a way."

"Villain."

Waner angrily broke free from Luo Li's embrace, her wronged eyes immediately reddened, those swirling tears made Luo Li quite helpless.

The elder refused to agree, and I have no way. As you can see, they don't want to listen to what I say.

Waner walked over and hugged the little rabbit, sitting there, wondering what she was thinking.

Luo Li looked at her like this, really wanted to comfort her a few words, but didn't know how to comfort her.

You say she's naive and clueless, yet she seems to know it all.

"Chief, the Elder just sent someone down the mountain."

"What do you plan to do when you go down the mountain"

Luo Li glanced at Wan'er, then hurried to the door. "You try to send a message to Feng Ling Xi, telling her that the time is not yet right and we can't bring them up the mountain. Let them wait patiently."

"If the Grand Elder knew about this, wouldn't he..."

Don't let him know.

Luo Li warned, "You know the head elder's temperament. If he knows about this, I fear we will all be punished, and your life will be in danger."

Waner watched Luoli chatting happily with them. She stumbled and walked towards the side door. Luoli came to her senses, but Waner was gone. She hurriedly sent people to look for Waner. Soon, the Yao tribe was in chaos.

Waner disappeared. People from the Luolii sect searched everywhere in Yaozu, but they couldn't find her. The whole Yaozu was searching for her, and by dusk, Waner's figure was nowhere to be seen. Luo Li reprimanded the people guarding the door harshly. That night, no one in Yaozu slept, searching everywhere, almost digging three feet into the ground. But after a night until dawn, she was still nowhere to be found.

Luo Li was truly panicked. Such a young child, where could they possibly have gone

Just as the entire Yao tribe was about to turn upside down, Wan'er fell asleep on the bed of the Great Elder herself.

The most shocking thing was that there was a large, untreated wound on Wan'er's forehead. When she was found, she was curled up in bed, her eyes filled with tears. When Luo Li arrived, Wan'er threw herself into her arms and cried out loud.

"Wǎn'er, don't be afraid, Master is here."

"Grand Elder, what on earth is going on How did Wan'er end up here What's happened to her"

Luo Li looked at the abrasion on Wan'er's forehead, and she hugged Wan'er with heartache. She hurriedly wiped clean the bloodstains on her wound and applied medicine to it.

The High Elder truly didn't understand seeing Wan'er appear in his room.

"What's going on, how is she here"

"I don't know, I didn't see the young master come in."

The elder was speechless. This girl they had searched for day and night, they finally found her injured in his bed! Doesn't this make him look suspicious

"Grand Elder, Wan'er is just a child. If you want to keep her by your side and teach her, just say so. Why..."

"Grand Elder Five, do you think this was done by me"

The Grand Elder was furious. Looking at Wan'er who only knew how to cry, her little face seemed to have suffered a great grievance. He hadn't done anything, yet he got caught in the crossfire.

"Wan'er, you should tell them why you are here"

Waner was scolded by the grand elder, and she cried even louder in fright. Her terrified eyes, her tear-stained face, were heartbreaking to look at.

"Grand Elder, Wan'er is still young. She might have come here to visit."

Luoli hugged Wan'er tightly, her heartache evident on his face. After all, she was his apprentice. Could he not feel heartbroken

The Grand Elder almost lost his temper at their questioning, looking at Wan'er's wronged eyes.

"This wasn't me. All of you, get out."

The Elder's reputation was questioned for the first time. A mere child, and yet he possessed such cunning. The crowd began to question the Elder's judgment, even Luo Li felt discontent.

Although he was the chieftain, all the big and small matters of the tribe were decided by the elder. But now, Wan'er brought back news that they had gone back on their promise to let Feng Lingxi go up the mountain. Wan'er was kept at his residence day and night, and she was even injured. Luo Li began to question their true intentions.

Holding Wan'er back to the palace, seeing her eyes swollen from crying, he felt a pang of guilt and self-reproach.

"Wan'er, did the Grand Elder take you there"

Mentioning the elder, Wan'er's tears, which she had finally managed to stop, started flowing again. Her small mouth pouted, and she burst into tears once more.

"Alright, stop crying. With your master here, he won't be able to bully you."

Luo Li held her, Wan'er cried, her stomach rumbling.

"Are you hungry"

Wan'er bit back her tears and nodded, "Hungry."

"Here you go, my disciple. Master made something delicious for you."

Luo Li looked at Wan'er's pitiful eyes and made a decision.

Later, he was going to meet the elder to discuss bringing Feng Lingxi here. He wanted to speak to her directly and tell her everything, not to harm a child. She wasn't even that old; even if he had a heart of stone, he couldn't bring himself to poison a one-and-a-half-year-old.y."The location of that counterfeit was very well-hidden, and it was also located in the mountains, making it difficult to attack. Coupled with this week's weapons developed by Zhou Mu, I fear that a...
