to solve the problem.When Yao Shu heard that the chief wanted to interrogate him, he couldn't help but feel nervous."Chieftain, I have said all that needs to be said. I hope you will not make things...These two children were so understanding, it broke her heart. She didn't want them to suffer even the slightest bit.

"Girl, go ahead and take care of business. These two little rascals are under my tutelage, nothing will happen to them. Just happens that I learned a new set of boxing techniques these days, let them practice."

Yuan Xiu Shen Yi patted Feng Si Yu's head, "Boy, you promised grandpa that you would practice martial arts well and protect your mother."

Feng Siyu nodded, his little face full of determination, "Grandpa, if you have any new martial arts, feel free to teach me. Siyu is not afraid of hardship or fatigue."

"Not bad." Yuan Xiu, the divine physician, nodded in approval and glanced at Feng Siqi, who was brimming with anticipation. "You little rascal, when you get back, grandpa will teach you a few new tricks, guaranteed to take down an entire team."

"Siqi likes Grandpa the best."

Feng Siqi's flattery was top-notch, making Yuan Xiu, the divine physician, laugh heartily.

Feng Lingxi looked at the three generations of grandfather and grandchildren. Over the years, her master had truly treated the two siblings as his own grandsons. Xiyu was gifted in martial arts, and her master had almost poured his knowledge into him. Siqi was a young lady after all, and her master doted on her. Besides martial arts, he also taught her various kinds of poisons.

With the two little ones taken care of, Feng Lingxi felt relieved.

Tao Su, tomorrow we will go down the mountain and visit Lu's house.

Tao Su glanced at the two children who had followed Yuan Xiu's divine physician away, and then asked the question that had been puzzling her.

"Xiaofeng, are you not wanting them to be known by the people of the Lu family"

Feng Lingxi nodded, her eyes dimmed considerably.

Tao Su saw that Xiao Feng seemed reluctant to talk about her connection with the Lu family, so he didn't ask any further. He believed that after tomorrow, he would know a lot more. However, it was true that he had wronged her. If he hadn't met her, perhaps Xiao Feng wouldn't have been willing to ask the Lu family for help.

"Xiao Feng, on behalf of the villagers in our village and myself, thank you for your help."

"No need to thank me, I happened to meet you anyway. And the Lu family and I will eventually meet again, it's just a matter of time." For these five years, both the Lu family and Tianxianglou had been looking for her relentlessly. How could she possibly escape Besides, news of her whereabouts in Xigu Country had already spread, so this Dugu City should have received word as well.

But why did he still look for her

A bitter smile, the wind ruffled Xi's eyes held an unspeakable pain.

Tao Su, upon seeing this, merely stood aside. Xiao Feng's hidden secret was probably no less painful than his own, but she didn't speak, and he couldn't bring himself to ask. After all, they weren't very familiar with each other.

The next day, Feng Lingxi went down the mountain with Tao Su. This time, Changming also came along. The villagers in the village were envious to death. Changming knew the way, and since he often went down the mountain, he was also familiar with the area below.

Along the way, Feng Ling Xi spoke very little. Only Chang Ming chatted incessantly, recounting interesting things he had encountered on his descent the mountain. But no matter how hard he tried to be amusing, Feng Ling Xi didn't smile. His mood was exceptionally heavy.

If she hadn't met Tao Su, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact him.

Lu's house was different. Having learned that Feng Lingxi would be coming in the next three days, Madam Lu had specifically instructed the guards to keep a close watch. If Feng Lingxi appeared or someone came to deliver a message, they were to receive it and immediately report back to her.

This day, sitting and standing restlessly, Lu Hao was tormented to the point of near death.

"Madam, why don't you rest for a while If Xier truly returns, the steward will report it. You pacing back and forth is making me dizzy."

Mrs. Lu glared at Lu Hao, who was sitting there silently. "You don't even care about your own daughter! Don't you worry about her It's been five years now, where has she gone What kind of hardships has she endured Is she living well Why would she come back to us after all this time You don't even think about it Is this what a father does"

"I..."

Lu Hao couldn't utter a word in response to his wife's reprimand. Could he not be worried

But will this worry be of any use

He said that he hadn't looked for his daughter in these five years, but she was avoiding him. What could he do

Her hiding skills were truly inherited from her mother. How many people have searched for her throughout the world, but they couldn't find even a trace of her.

"What are you looking at If it weren't for the fact that you gave me a daughter, I wouldn't even bother with you."

"I..."

Lu Hao was truly feeling suffocated. "Isn't it said that there are still several days left Why are you rushing She won't come down just because you're impatient. Aren't you tired You're not eating or drinking, just wandering around aimlessly."

With a loud slap, Lu Hao jumped in fright. Seeing his wife's gloomy and angry face, he hurriedly stood up.

This is truly a wife-dominated household.

"If your parents heard you say that, I bet they'd beat you up."

Mrs. Lu was furious for no apparent reason.

"We only have one daughter in our family. You didn't bring her back to us, and now that she has grown up, you don't even care anymore! If I were Xi'er, I wouldn't recognize you as my father. I really don't understand how Yao Wan Ying could have fallen for a man like you."

Lu Hao pointed at himself, looking at his wife's disapproving gaze. Before he could retort, Madam Lu added.

"How could I have been so blind to fall for you."

"Didn't you insist on marrying me in the first place"

Lu Hao was so frustrated, there was really no way to continue talking to her. If it weren't for her pestering him into marriage back then, he wouldn't have run away from home.

"Don't talk about these things, go and see if Xier is back."

Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Hao and felt irritated, "When we find Xier, I'll give that bastard Duguo City a good scolding. He bullies my daughter! For the past five years, he's been carefree, always chasing after new things and discarding old ones. I have to settle scores with him for all his past and present wrongdoings..."

"Madam, you're wrong about this. It's not fair to blame him. He and Nian'er had agreed on this beforehand, who knew something would go wrong in the middle This wasn't his fault..."

"And Nian'er, don't think that by hiding away you can avoid my punishment. Such a big matter, and he didn't even give me a heads-up, deceiving me and letting Xi'er suffer so much. When I catch him, I must beat him up!"

Lu Hao was about to leave as he watched his wife bring up old matters, but remembering the gravity of the situation, he turned back and cautioned, "Madam, you mustn't alarm father and mother about this. It would only cause them worry. We should wait for Xi'er to return before informing them."

"Why are you just standing there Go quickly." Lu Fuzi smoothed her breath and drank a large mouthful of water from the table, then personally went to inspect the courtyard prepared for Feng Lingxi. This time around, she would definitely make Xi'er stay in the mansion, she had to make them all know that she also had a daughter.

Feng Lingxi and Tao Su stayed at a guesthouse at the foot of the mountain after descending, as it was already dark. They planned to go to Lu's house tomorrow morning. If they went now, they might be left behind at Lu's house.

"Waiter, bring us the dishes."

Feng Lingxi called out, then looked at the guests sitting around. Seeing that none of them had noticed them, she felt relieved.

Tao Su was a fugitive, so she had to be careful not to get caught by the authorities before she could reach Lu's residence.

As for Tao Su, he was calm and composed. After the waiter served the dishes, he watched Feng Lingxi's unconscious movements and felt his heart warmed by her gesture.l the Emperor and Empress this truthfully I'm afraid you won't even make it out of the city...""That's it!"Luo Li strode over, her expression cold and disdainful."The Yao people have never feared any...
