Chapter 1005: Metamorphosis 79

s. If people didn't know, they would think the Empress had punished you for kneeling. If your grandmother found out, she would blame the Empress!"When Empress Dowager heard that Dugu Cheng had moved o...“He was a man who had left, and I didn’t know, besides, Luo Li hadn’t said anything either. Pretending to be unaware was just the way to go.” By the time Luo Li found out, that person was already gone. If she wanted to find trouble with him, it wouldn’t change anything anyway.

Xiao Li thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

"Your Highness, if the chieftain is not a bad person, wouldn't this be unkind of us"

“Not to mention anything else, what Yao Bi is doing now will cost him his life, regardless of whether Luo Li is good or bad.” Their words were the reason why their mother fell off the cliff back then. Whatever he said was the truth, there was no trace left behind. Now that there was a chance to uncover the truth, she naturally wouldn't let it go.

If what Mother said is true, Luoli is her enemy. Some things need to be investigated, or else this Yao Clan will become a place where Luoli monitors her every move.

As Feng Lingxi had said, three days later, someone came to find her. It wasn't to let her release Yao Bi, but to have her execute him. They claimed that Yao Bi's crimes were clear-cut and that she should deal with him according to clan rules, without any leniency.

Feng Lingxi smiled, this person was from Luoli. She didn't expect that even though Luoli had left, her people were still everywhere. Moreover, the speed at which they conveyed messages was truly impressive.

"Your Highness, why does the Clan Chief request to kill Yao Bi Did his men just betray him like this"

"Luoli wouldn't let a single chess piece ruin its position in my heart. How can I say, Yao Bi is guilty as charged. He could be so arrogant as to place his words before me, he must have already made arrangements with Luoli's people beforehand. This three-day decision must have been carefully considered by them, deciding to sacrifice this chess piece."

Feng Lingxi paused, a cold glint appearing in her eyes.

After all, the evidence I found is enough to make Luoli unable to protect this Yao Bi. His crimes have already spread throughout the Yao clan within three days. If Luoli doesn't deal with him, wouldn't that cast doubt on his character

"My Queen, how could I not know you had everything arranged"

Xiao Li's face was full of astonishment. Feng Ling Xi chuckled lightly, "Shadow Six and Shadow Eight did this. Asking you to do this would mean everyone in the clan would know."

Xiao Li frowned, "But how can a slave like me even know when to do things"

"Well, are you jealous"

Wind Lingxi looked at Xia Li's depressed expression and, thinking about her distracted behavior these past few days, teased, "I wonder who keeps dreaming about Ye Xi."

"Who would be thinking about him."

Xiao Li murmured, saying that Ye Xi, Xiao Li's emotions were excited.

It's all his fault, last time's words truly frightened me. What does it have to do with him marrying a wife He said it, causing me to have nightmares.

"It's fine if people like him, Night Xi isn't bad either."

Xiao Li pouted, "No way, I won't get married. Besides, once she gets married, who will protect the Princess"

The people of Dugu City, you married him, not to stay by my side.

"But after marriage, she will become pregnant. How can we protect the safety of the princess when that happens I don't want to."

"You're really thinking ahead." She said it wasn't a big deal, but she's already planning for the pregnancy.

Xiaoli's face flushed red. As the princess's personal maid, how could she not think about these things Since following the princess, she had never considered marriage.

"If you truly don't want to conceive so soon, you can wait a few years after your marriage. I believe Ye Xi will understand." After all, you're still young, there's no need to rush.

Xiao Li pouted, "Who would give birth to a child with him."

Although she said it that way, the princess's words still touched Xiao Li's heart.

Ye Xi and she had been together for several years. Although their backgrounds weren't impressive, he was down-to-earth, treated her well, and his martial arts skills were decent. Most importantly, he wasn't the kind of man who played around with others. Xiao Li couldn't even come up with a reason to dislike him.

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li's shy smile in her eyes, the smile on his lips widened, she had really grown up.

"Lord."

Feng Lingxi withdrew her smile as Yao Song's voice reached her. She responded, and Yao Song entered, followed by several other elders.

"See the Lord."

"There's no need to be polite, elders. Please speak your mind."

Yao Song stepped forward and said first, "Holy Lord, I heard that the patriarch's people have come. I wonder how you will choose regarding Yao Bi's matter"

Feng Lingxi looked at Yao Song, these days, he was doing his best to investigate Yao Bi's affairs and helped her a lot.

The chieftain meant to handle it according to tribal rules, without considering feelings.

Yao Song's tightly stretched face instantly relaxed.

"That's good. This subordinate was still worried that the Chieftain would let Yao Bi off easy because of this."

"Mistakes should naturally be punished."

Feng Lingxi looked at Yao Song, "The chieftain is a person who handles things impartially and would not tolerate such things happening. Moreover, what Yao Bi did violated the tribal rules and naturally had to be punished. In addition, this matter is left to you to handle."

Yao Song was surprised, "Lord Saint, isn't this a public execution"

"It's an open disposal, but after all, Yao Bi is also an elder. It's more appropriate to hand him over to you elders for disposal. Besides, Elders Five and Six are missing, and they need to be replaced afterwards. I have thought carefully about the candidates for these elders. Before, I was not good at discerning people, so this time, I will leave the selection to all of you elders."

Feng Lingxi's words shocked the elders, including Yao Song. This was something the Holy Master would do, how could they all be left to choose.

This elder's selection is a good one. If this isn't good, then if something happens in the future, this will implicate himself. Who would be willing to do such a thing

"Thank you, Lord, for your trust. Yao Song will diligently help the Lord choose new elders and ease His worries."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, looking at the other elders, "Fellow elders, please be diligent and responsible, learn a lot from Elder Yao Song. This position of elder cannot be left vacant. It involves real power and handling real matters."

"Yes, sir."

Windling looked at them, each one an old fox. These days she had taken the annals from the Holy Lord's Temple, and they had been watching her closely. She couldn't tell what secrets lurked in their hearts.

Yao Bi's affair was handed over to Yao Song to handle. Yao Song was very efficient and thorough in his work, and he did not abuse his power to harm the innocent. Following the process, he exposed Yao Bi's crimes, tried him, and dealt with him according to clan rules.

All the wealth that Yao Bi obtained through corruption was handled properly. He took it from the people and used it for the people, as a saintly leader of the Yao people should. He distributed it among the common people, earning a good reputation for himself and Feng Ling Xi.

Feng Ling Xi only learned about these things afterwards. After the matter of Yao Bi, the Yao clan both high and low were terrified of this Saint Lord, not knowing when it would be their turn to face his wrath. After all, they had never been fond of him before.

Though they are satisfied with her now, her strange and unpredictable behavior fills them with fear.

Feng Lingxi diligently sought out the events surrounding her mother's arrival at the Yao clan. She questioned every person her mother had encountered after arriving, and within days, news of the former saint master’s fall from the cliff spread throughout the Yao clan. While the clan members couldn't understand what had happened, they were shaken by this revelation. After all, many had participated in the events, spoken carelessly, or even joined the expedition to subdue her mother. you never know, Lady Luo might recognize it" Feng Lingxi grabbed Luo Juzhou's hand and pulled her aside to sit down. "Lady Luo, don't you think the ice-blue flame mark is beautiful""Facing Luo Juzhou...
