Chapter 1573: Glassy Purple Star 112

her own business to attend to. Moreover, she had promised her mother that she would go to the Great Yuan Dynasty as Princess of the Huangxia Dynasty and clear her father's name of poisoning the previ...Dugu Cheng clenched his jaw, a cold glint in his eyes. What was Luoli trying to do

Feng Lingxi reached out and took Dugu Cheng's hand, soothingly saying, "Don't worry, Wan'er is not like ordinary children. She has been exceptionally intelligent since she was young. We'll just wait for her to come back and ask her what happened."

"Yeah, yeah, take care of yourself. It's important to be healthy! Don't let your sister down, she didn't make it easy saving you..."

"Shut up!"

Feng Lingxi and Dugu City rebuked in unison, leaving Lu Nian with a wronged look at them. He said something wrong

He's just trying to lighten the mood, isn't he Do you have to be so harsh with him

"Young Master, someone outside says they wish to see Miss."

The steward arrived to report, Feng Lingxi saw that he was looking for her and hurried out. The man stood at the door, a young boy with a nonchalant air, chewing on a blade of grass and impatiently looking around.

"It was you."

Feng Lingxi, seeing the person's features clearly, was very excited. Wasn't this the little girl she had met with her mother at the Land Temple Although she had grown taller, she could still recognize her.

"You still remember me, don't you"

A girl dressed as a man greeted Feng Lingxi in a man's voice, winking at her playfully. This made Dugu Cheng, standing beside them, frown, but Feng Lingxi laughed even brighter.

"Come, let's talk inside."

"Call me Xiao Cao."

"Changed names again," Feng Lingxi nodded, "Let's go."

Xiao Cao looked around and walked into Lu Mansion. Feng Lingxi excitedly pulled her to the backyard, "Xiao Cao, you're here this time..."

"I'd like to talk to you privately."

Little Grass interrupted Feng Ling Xi's words, looking at the group of people following behind them, "You wouldn't mind, would you"

"You all go back first. I have something to talk to her about."

Dugu Cheng walked to Feng Lingxi's side and lowered his voice, "Lingxi, are you sure"

Feng Ling Xi responded with a nod, and then Dugu Cheng walked a little farther away from them. However, he didn't leave, just kept his distance so as not to interrupt their conversation.

"Little Grass, how did you find your way here Does my mother have any news"

Wind Ling hastily poured a cup of water for Xiao Cao, anxiously asking, "I didn't expect Xiao Cao to find her. This means Mother must be nearby."

"I'm here to tell you about your mother's whereabouts, but it's not good news."

The smile disappeared from Xiaocao's face as she looked at Feng Lingxi's tense expression. "She was taken back to the Yao Clan, but she won't let you go save her. She said if you went, all that she'd done over these years would be for nothing."

"Will my mother be in danger"

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, sure she had been taken back by the Yao clan. That Luo Li didn't mention it that day, did he know or not

Little Grass soothed her, “Don’t get excited first, listen to me. The mistress asked me to tell you, to remain calm. She said if you don't want your children to be controlled by the Yao clan in the future, then listen to her and don't go to save her. Just do what she says.”

"Little grass, how will they treat my mother"

If you don't save her, Mother won't know. If the Yao Clan really makes a move, they will kill her.

"You're not in immediate danger, because your mother left enough to keep herself alive. Right now, the most important thing is for you to destroy all the pieces of the treasure map."

"Destruction"

Feng Lingxi froze

"Isn't that what Mother tried so hard to collect Why destroy it"

If the Yao elders could find the treasure's location without the map, then the map would only be helpful to her.

"This madam didn't say it herself, she asked me to tell you, to destroy the map fragments. Don't let anyone from the Yao clan get their hands on them."

Feng Lingxi subconsciously glanced at the rope on her wrist, bit her lip, and was very conflicted.

"Miss, you don't want to"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "I just don't quite understand why my mother did this. She searched so hard for these treasure map fragments. These years she ran all over the place for them, and now they are destroyed like this. I really don't understand."

"Madam is doing this for Miss and Little Miss's sake. Now the elders of the Yao clan have gone mad, Madam is doing this to cut off future harm." Xiaochao glanced around, "Miss, Xiaochao dares to say a word out of turn, no matter where you are, you must always be more careful."

"I know that."

Also, the current Empress Dowager and Emperor are both watching you. Furthermore, Xiaocao has heard that the Crown Prince of the Aohua Dynasty is involved with you. Miss, please remember, do not trust anyone who gives you any identity, they are all not good-hearted.

Feng Lingxi smiled, "I know, thank you, Xiaochao."

"Could you arrange a new identity for me, to be by your side I'd be happy as a maidservant or even just an attendant."

"Aren't you going to look for my mother"

Feng Lingxi was slightly startled, seeing Xiao Cao's eyes dim. "My lady instructed me to stay by your side, no matter what method I use, the most important thing is to make sure those who are tracking me don't know it was me,"

Then you should just change back into women's clothes.

Little Grass frowned, "Can't I just follow along"

"As a young woman, do you really intend to keep wearing women's clothing Besides, everyone already knows you're male. Wouldn't wearing women's clothing make it easier to conceal your identity"

Little Grass thought for a moment, then nodded.

Then, I shall listen to young lady's words.

Xiao Cao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Ling Xi. This action startled Feng Ling Xi, who immediately rushed forward to help her up. "Xiao Cao, what are you doing Why are you kneeling before me"

The little grass refused to get up, her eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi with determination. "Miss, there's one more thing Xiaochao needs to make clear to you. From now on, Xiaochao will be by your side. We may have to go out on business frequently because our time is running out."

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, time was running out.

"Wan'er will be eight years old soon, there isn't much time left."

"No, we need to destroy all the pieces of the treasure map as quickly as possible. We also have to go to the Yao Clan and find another crucial artifact to open their treasure vault, Bai Liuli."

"Bai Liuli"

Feng Ling Xi was startled, wasn't this the Bai Liuli that Madam Lu had shown her

The little grass indeed knew about this thing, it seems mother truly went through the details of the Yao Clan with a fine tooth comb.

"The mistress said, this thing is very precious, and you must get it. Also, remember that your daughters must be careful and cannot be taken by them."

"You're talking about the Yao people"

The little grass nodded, "White Liuli is crucial, just as important as Zi Xing. The two can be merged together, also known as Liuli Zi Xing, and the location of White Liuli..."

Before Xiao Cao could finish her words, a dart suddenly flew from the darkness. Xiao Cao leaped into the air, hugging Feng Lingxi's waist and dodging the deadly attack.

"There's an assassin!"

Someone in the courtyard shouted, and the entire back garden of the Lu mansion became tense. Xiao Cao hurriedly checked Feng Ling Xi, asking with concern, "Miss, are you hurt"ng, did Li Shang make things difficult for you I heard that he imprisoned you a few days ago.""It's nothing, even if he suspects, he can't do anything to the uncle. After all, the Jiangshan of Tianqi...
