Chapter 998: Metamorphosis 72

the Holy Master to do this. The Yao clan has been isolated from the world for millennia, all in order to protect these treasures. I have heard that, in order to please the Empress Dowager of the Grea..."I will have the Yao Clan of Beijing thoroughly investigate Zhao's identity."

Dugu City responded, now that the situation has come to this, all they can do is this.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Li walked in and saw Dugu City was there too. After hesitating for a moment, Feng Ling Xi frowned, "What's the matter"

"Your Majesty, would you mind stepping aside for a moment"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli, "Just say it."

But...

Dugu Cheng stood up, "I'll go out first. I won't be back for dinner later."

Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Cheng walk out before asking Xiao Li, "What's the matter that even he can't tell"

"Your wife sent a message, saying that she can only see you alone."

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brow. Her mother's message was good news, but why only meet with her alone

"Who gave you the letter"

"She is a sister of the Yao people."

Feng Lingxi extended her hand, and Xiao Li placed the letter in her palm. Looking at the handwriting on it, it was indeed her mother's. But why did she want to meet her alone Her mother had been missing for so long, and even Du Gu Cheng knew about it. He couldn't even say anything, leaving Feng Lingxi suspicious of the letter's authenticity.

"Your Highness, do you suspect this letter wasn't written by the mistress"

Feng Lingxi's eyes held a hint of suspicion, yet she couldn't bring herself to disbelieve it.

Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you go and see for yourself.

Feng Ling Xi's words made Xiao Li worry, "Your Highness, perhaps we should just not go. What if it goes wrong..."

"That depends on who it is."

It would be acceptable for Mother to have messengers from the Yao clan contact her. However, if not, then we must find out and remove this spy.

Xiao Li brought Feng Ling Xi to the agreed upon location, a farm just outside the city limits of Linxi County. She had requested this meeting here, but now Xiao Li suddenly regretted it. If the Madam truly returned, how could she allow the Princess to meet her here

She was afraid that the Princess would have an accident, and then how could she explain it to the King

Feng Lingxi arrived at the farm, her eyes scanning the surroundings. It was indeed a farm, but there was a heavy sense of killing intent here. There were quite a few people hiding in the shadows.

It seems that this person is likely fake.

"Your Highness, this servant feels something is amiss. Perhaps we should leave first"

Xiao Li looked at the letter in her hand, unable to believe it was written by Madam.

"Come out."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, her stunning face devoid of any fear.

In the darkness, a figure emerged from behind the hut. Feng Lingxi saw the person and was stunned, almost unable to believe her own eyes.

"Mother."

It really was her. Feng Lingxi ran over excitedly, but suddenly, dozens of black-clad figures emerged from the darkness, each holding a long sword and standing behind Yao Wan'ying. Feng Lingxi looked at the scene before her and instinctively took several steps back.

"You..."

Could it not be mother

Feng Lingxi looked at the woman in front of her. She looked exactly like her mother, but if it were her mother, what about the men in black behind her

"See the Lord."

The men in black all bowed to Feng Lingxi at once. Feng Lingxi was startled and looked at Yao Wan'ying who was walking towards her. For some reason, her heart was beating very fast.

"Xier, don't you remember your mother"

Feng Lingxi watched the smile her mother revealed, always feeling that her smile was not genuine. She subconsciously thought of the word "disguise" and instinctively took two steps back.

Yao WanYing's steps came to a halt, watching Feng LingXi retreat, her brow furrowing, "Xier, what are you doing"

"Madam, is it truly you"

Xiao Li looked at the woman before her, who was identical to Madam. She began to have doubts too.

"Xiao Li, you've forgotten. Who brought you back to the General's Mansion when you were little Who made you Xi'er's maid And by the way, you weren't called Xiao Li when you were young. Your original name was Liu Li. Later, I thought that name was too sad, so I gave you the name Xiao Li."

"Xiao Li has met the Madam."

Xiaoli curtsied with delight and quickly said to Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, it's the Madam."

Feng Lingxi looked at the man in black behind her mother.

"Mother, since it's you, why are there these people in black behind you"

Yo Wan-ying looked at the black-clad men behind her, her expression instantly turning cold. "All of you go down and guard. Don't allow anyone to get within a step of this farm."

Wind Ling Xi glanced around, unsure how many more of these men in black were present. If she were truly a woman, it would be fine. But if not, she could very well lose her life because of this.

Despite the existence of shapeshifting techniques, she still harbored doubts about the woman before her.

"Xier, come inside and speak."

Wind Ling hesitated for a moment, watching Xiao Li had already gone in first, completely trusting this woman to be her mother.

"Your Highness, only Madam knows that my name is Liuli because she's the only one who told me."

Feng Lingxi nodded and followed Yao Wan'ying into the hut. Looking at the empty interior, her eyes showed confusion.

"Isn't this a farm Where are the people"

“I sent them all into the city. Today, this place belongs to me.”

Yao Wan'ying looked at Feng Lingxi, "Xier, mother will get straight to the point. You need to be a good Saint Master of the Yao Clan and grasp real power. Don't trust Luoli, his identity is not simple, and he might very well be your biggest enemy."

"Fallen leaves"

Feng Lingxi was quite shocked to hear this.

"Isn't he the chief What kind of enemy could he be to me And he's helped me a lot."

Feng Lingxi was puzzled, Yao Wan'ying was a little anxious, but she didn't know where to start.

"I still haven't figured out what his identity is all about. Just trust what mother says, Mother hasn't dared to show herself because he's been chasing her relentlessly. Remember this well, never trust him, and be careful to guard against him."

"For the sake of the Holy See, or..."

Yao Wan Ying shook her head. “Mother couldn’t figure out who he really was either. He claimed to be the chieftain of the Yao clan, but he wasn’t. When he came to find you, Mother didn’t know his purpose. Just be careful.”

"Madam."

A man in black hurried forward, "Madam, we've been discovered."

Yao Wan Ying's expression tightened, she hurriedly grasped Feng Ling Xi's hand, "Xi'er, remember what your mother told you, never trust Luo Li. Mother will investigate this clearly and come find you later. Take good care of yourself."

After Yao WanYing finished speaking, she quickly left with the men in black. They seemed to have never been there at all, leaving the farm swiftly.

Feng Lingxi hadn't figured out what was going on when Yao Wan Ying had already disappeared into the farm.

"Lord, the former Lord has departed."

Shadow Six appears, "Someone's approaching, we need to evacuate."

Feng Lingxi nodded and, together with Xiaoli, left the farm first. But along the way, Feng Lingxi was absent-minded. Her mother's words had unsettled her heart.

It's unbelievable, Luo Li is her biggest enemy

What does this mean

The Yao chieftain, she wouldn't want to be the one, how could she possibly have a grudge against her

Also, over these past two years, Luoli has helped her so much, and she hasn't noticed anything amiss with Luoli

Feng Ling Xi tried hard to recall every detail of her time with Luo Li, she couldn't understand why her mother would say such a thing.in the kitchen and bring some over.""No need, I'm not hungry."Feng Aotian hurriedly said, how could he let Feng Lingxi bring him food."It's okay, you guys chat first. I'll go check the kitchen."Lookin...
