Chapter 1641: A Lifetime Together, Part 49

, or someone she doesn't knowOver the meal, Feng Lingxi had no appetite at all. Dugu Cheng watched her distracted appearance and didn't ask much."Your Highness."A knock on the door echoed through the..."Chief."

Luo Li was brought to the temple. Looking at the maidservants guarding outside, she asked faintly, "Is this the Great Elder's way of restricting the freedom of the Lord"

"The head of the Hui clan, the grand elder has commanded that the two holy masters are to rest within and must not be disturbed by outsiders."

Rest

Luo Li walked inside, the maidservants didn't follow. After Luo Li and Li WuYan entered, Luo Li glanced back, her eyes were puzzled but she didn't ask.

"Xi'er and her mother should both be here."

As soon as Li Wu Yan finished speaking, Luo Li tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to watch his words and avoid causing trouble. The Great Elder was paying close attention to him now, and he couldn't afford to cause any more problems with his words, lest it jeopardize their mission.

Feng Ling Xi heard someone enter and immediately went on guard with her mother. When she saw who it was, Feng Ling Xi was shocked. "Clan Leader, how are you here"

Luoli walked up to Feng Lingxi and, seeing Yao Wan'ying beside her, nodded at her as a greeting.

"Ayan, you came back with him." Feng Lingxi was filled with confusion as she saw them appear together. The arrival of Luo Li both excited and frightened her. If what Luo Li had said before was true, he could help her, and she naturally looked forward to his appearance. But if he had deceived her, Feng Lingxi didn't know if his presence would ruin her and her mother's plan.

As she took her seat, she glanced at Feng Lingxi and gave a subtle nod. She motioned that someone was eavesdropping outside the door. Seeing Feng Lingxi's understanding, she spoke, "I just got back and heard the Holy Master was here, so I came to see him."

"Thank you for your concern, Chief. We're fine."

Luo Li nodded her head and said loudly, "The Holy Lord's return this time has received great praise from the Grand Elder. He said that the Holy Lord is well-behaved and obedient, but much stronger than before."

Feng Lingxi smiled but said nothing.

"Do you need any help here"

Luo Li turned to face the wind and made a gesture of writing, indicating that Feng Ling Xi should write it down. Feng Ling Xi lowered her voice and said, "Tell Du Gu Cheng that I'm fine here, and ask him to take good care of the children."

He nodded, watching her increasingly slender frame. She had suffered greatly these past few days.

Li Wuyan got up and walked to the door, acting as a lookout for them. Luoli saw this and lowered her voice, saying, "You all just stay here peacefully and don't go against the Great Elder's wishes. I will do everything I can to help you."

"No need."

Feng Lingxi glanced at her mother, "We're going to the Holy Land immediately. You can just tell Dugu City what I said."

Are you going to the Holy Land

Luo Li's voice was a little high, but it quickly subsided. Seeing Feng Ling Xi nod, "Do you know how dangerous the sacred place is"

"I know, but we have no choice."

Wind Lingxi looked at Luo Li, "If you consider me a friend, then tell him for me, I will live and go find him."

Luoli nodded, but her eyes were full of worry. Feng Lingxi smiled at him, "Don't stay too long, go back early. We will take care of ourselves."

Take care.

After he finished speaking, he got up and left. The longer he stayed here, the more likely Feng Lingxi would be suspected, which wouldn't be good for either of them.

As expected, as soon as Luo Li left, he saw someone sneaking away, probably to report the news.

"Ayan, walk with me."

Leaving the mouth of the cave, Li Luo walked through the Yao Clan with Li Wu-Yan beside him. The two walked side by side, but neither spoke a word, just kept walking like this. The people who followed them in the shadows followed all the way without hearing them say a word.

"Holy land, want to go see it"

Li Wuyan stiffened, looking at Luo Li's helpless eyes, and comforted, "They are the Saint Masters, this is their mission. I heard that Xi'er's mother was the only one who went to the Holy Land and survived."

"Yes, so, they have to go down again this time."

Luo Li clenched her fists, "Feng Ling Xi has never been to the Holy Land, and going down there, she might not be able to survive like Yao Wan Ying."

"Someone took her down there, why couldn't she come out alive"

Li Wuyan's voice was slightly higher, and the surrounding eyes all pricked up their ears. However, they didn't mind.

Different Virgin Marys, different destinies.

Li Wuyan just sighed, without saying a word.

This is the fate of the Yao Clan Saint Master, she has no choice in the matter.

Luo Li looked at Li Wu Yan, "Actually, we are better than her. At least we know what we're doing While she is an unknown."

"Luo Li, we..."

Li Wuyan swallowed the words that reached his lips, "Just let things take their course."

This is the Yao Clan's territory, ruled by the Elder. Luo Li lives here, following the Elder's arrangements. All he can do is secretly assist Luo Li.

"Come sit with me over there."

Luo Li walked towards the direction of the holy land, standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Wu Yan at a distance. They watched the location of the holy land, lost in thought.

The Elder, the chieftain led Doctor Li to the holy ground above, his words were not disrespectful.

"Understood, leave."

The Grand Elder looked at the other elders, his expression solemn. "If both Holy Masters return safely this time, once we have obtained both Bai Liuli and Zi Xing, we can begin preparations for the sacrificial rites. What are your thoughts on this"

"Listen to the Patriarch's every word."

The elders aren't stupid. These years, they all saw the greed of the Grand Elder clearly. For decades, he's been laying plans step by step, all for the secrets of the Yao clan. As long as they open the gates of the Yao clan's sacred land, they can get the treasure left to them by their ancestors.

"Elder Master, if the records are in error, then wouldn't everything we've done be for nothing"

The Fifth Elder voiced his concerns, "Ancestors left behind a treasure for the Lord. What if it's ineffective for us I'm worried..." Before he could finish, the Great Elder rebuked him angrily, "Fifth Elder, if you're fearful, you can just give up. But let me make this clear, if we obtain the treasure, don't come crying to us later about not getting a share."

"Grand Elder, I didn't mean it that way, I was just a little worried." The Fifth Elder hurriedly apologized. Seeing the Grand Elder's face, he quickly changed his expression. Although he thought the Grand Elder's actions were ridiculous, he dared not disobey him. His family's lives were in the Grand Elder's hands. If the Grand Elder truly had ill intentions towards him, he would regret it immensely.

"I understand your concerns, but according to our ancestors' writings, if we can truly open the treasure and find that tunnel, we will be granted a new life."

"The elder is right, we are all this age, have schemed for a lifetime, cannot just give up like this."

Eight elders who supported the Grand Elder readily agreed. They were all over sixty years old, and none of them wanted to die. The treasure under the holy land was their only way out.

The Grand Elder nodded. "We can't give up."

When he is reborn, this world will be his.

Feng Lingxi sneezed and walked in front of her mother. Looking at the list of needed items her mother had written down, she frowned slightly.

This is a sample text.asy.She knew that the purpose of her departure was by no means simple."Remember what I told you back then Goodbye, we...""Aren't we supposed to never see each other again" Feng Lingxi interrupted Luo...
