ul for it. I never thought that in your eyes, my sister would be mistaken for wanting to compete with you for the right to manage the family.”Liu's tears streamed down her face, her pitiful appearance..."You said your master is really a tsundere."

"Tsundere."

Wan'er looked at her mother, repeating herself, a smile on her face.

"Hug Daddy."

Though Wan'er's words were not yet well-organized, Feng Lingxi understood them. Looking at her bright smile, she reached out and pinched her nose, "Right, let's go back and hug Father." She had not disappointed Dugu Cheng; she would be able to bring Wan'er back.

However, the Yao clan harbors many secrets, and these secrets are connected to Wan'er.

Why is it ten years old, a ten-year-old child, how much she can do, upon receiving the Yao clan, what she can do.

"Wan'er, before you go down the mountain, your mother still has to scold you. Don't take it to heart."

Feng Ling Xi held her with tenderness, placing a kiss on her forehead.

"We are not truly safe yet."

Wan'er held onto her mother without a sound.

Perhaps it is the heart-to-heart connection between a mother and daughter, their thoughts in sync. Whatever Feng Ling Xi did, Wan'er could understand and cooperate. Feng Ling Xi didn't know why Wan'er, so young, could understand like this. In her understanding, Wan'er's soul might already be that of an adult.

In the inn, Qiuer woke up to the morning of the second day. After a night's fever, her high fever subsided, and she gradually regained consciousness.

Looking at Shangguan Huan standing beside her bed, Qiu'er's eyes darted around, wanting to get up, but Shangguan Huan held her down.

"Your injuries are serious, you need to rest."

"I..."

Autumn swallowed her words, the ones that had almost escaped her lips.

She didn't know how to explain to Shangguan Huan why she was back again. After her injury, it was Shangguan Huan's face that kept her going. She thought of him, and that's why she came back.

"Don't say anything, just take good care of your injuries. For me, the best thing is that you survived."

Autumn nodded, lay down there, and slowly closed her eyes. But the tears at the corners of her eyes wouldn't hold back and fell.

"Has she woken up"

Dugu City knocked on the door and came in. Qiu'er heard Dugu City's voice and hurriedly reached out to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. This scene made Dugu City see, thinking that he had not come at the right time.

"Did I interrupt you"

"No, Qiuer has just woken up. Wouldn't Your Highness like to ask her about the matter of his Consort"

獨孤城 nodded, looking at Qiu'er's pale face, apologetically said, "I was really too worried, so..."

"She's doing well, and Wan'er is too."

Upon hearing this, Dugu City's heart returned to its original place.

It's good that they're alright. Knowing they were safe, he felt relieved, yet still worried, wondering when they would be back.

Autumn still struggled to sit up. Shangguan Huan helped her to sit up straight, holding a pillow for her back and making her comfortable.

I know you want to ask, but please don't. I don't feel like talking about it right now.

"I'm very tired," Qiu said. "All I can tell you is that they are well."

She didn't want them to ask her about it, she didn't know how to answer. It was a secret of the Yao people, and also the deepest secret hidden in her heart.

"I won't ask you. Just tell me when you are ready, and I'll be all ears."

Thank you.

Autumn gazed at Shangguan Huan, "I'm sorry, I've come back to you again."

"Fool, I'm so happy you're back."

Autumn's beautiful eyes drooped, "If they could go down the mountain, they should be able to come down in five days. If they don't come down after five days, it means they have been detained."

"Five days."

Du Gu Cheng clenched his fists, "Do you mean that Wan'er and Xi'er can't go down the mountain"

"If they are detained, can you take me to the Yao tribe I want to rescue them."

"Useless."

Autumn looked at Dugu City, "That place, now I'm afraid no one can enter or leave. Every time I enter and exit, it takes a lot of thought."

"Is there no other way"

Autumn whispers, head shaking.

Thoughts drift far away.

"Here, it's not like there."

Autumn said this, then looked at Dugu City. "The clan leader will help them; it should be fine."

"Do you know Luo Li"

Du Gucheng and Shangguan Huan looked at Qiu'er in astonishment. Seeing her nod, but unwilling to say more.

Shangguan Huan looked at Dugu Cheng, both of their eyes were filled with confusion. However, Qiu'er was unwilling to say anything, so they couldn't ask.

Thus, she stayed like that for two days. Qiu'er’s wounds had improved considerably, but she still spoke very little.

Dugu City had wanted to ask many times, but he never managed to say it out loud. Shangguan Huan was the same. They had known Qiu'er for so long, and she had never told him about her past. This time back, she always seemed preoccupied, sometimes just staring into space for an entire morning.

"If Xi'er couldn't come down the mountain, I would still want to go look for her."

Dugu Cheng hasn't given up on finding the Yao clan these two days, but he has no leads at all.

Xiaoli tried every means to find a clansman who would accept her as one of their own, but unfortunately, she was unsuccessful. She could only say that she had done her best.

The ghost saint country's king wouldn't meet anyone, he wouldn't even grant audiences. The other princes, when asked, said they didn't know either.

Ye Xi replied, her face looking very bad.

"May the heavens protect the Princess and Wan'er as they return."

Ye Xi prayed, looking at the worry on the King's face, becoming even more agitated. Ye Mei said, "Someone in the Jianghu is buying the princess' life, and the price has now reached 100,000 taels of gold. They asked me to take this job." If Ye Mei hadn't refused, I'm afraid this business would have been done.

A group of people were feeling down when they heard footsteps outside, accompanied by the laughter of a child. Dugu City's body stiffened, and he hurriedly ran out to see Feng Lingxi leading Wan'er by the hand, whispering something to her, and Wan'er giggled incessantly.

"Xier, Wan'er!"

Dugu Cheng rushed over and hugged Feng Lingxi. Wan'er's smile immediately vanished.

The sudden embrace made Feng Lingxi's cheeks flush. She was about to push away Du Gu Cheng when she heard Wan'er's complaining voice.

"Daddy shy."

Dugong Cheng was overjoyed, he knelt down and quickly picked up Wan'er. Looking at his daughter's round and chubby face, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"Go in and say it."

Feng Lingxi watched as Dugu City's Xiao Li behind him, the little girl red-eyed, just short of rushing over. She smiled slightly at Xiao Li and them, walked into the house, and closed the door.

"Xier, they let you come down the mountain."

Dugu Cheng asked excitedly, but Feng Lingxi's eyes fell on Qiu'er, looking at her pale face.

"You're back"

Autumn courtesied to Feng Lingxi with a nod, but remained silent.

"Still, Qiu'er told me you were fine, or I would have been worried to death."

Dugu Cheng's words left Feng Lingxi puzzled. She looked at Qiu'er, "How did she know I was fine"

Du Gu Cheng looked at Qiu'er, she kept her eyes closed and didn't answer.

Feng Lingxi, seeing Qiu'er's attitude, she knew, that is to say, she had been to the Yao clan. Thinking of the assassination a few days ago, could it be that Qiu'er was the assassin who stole the treasure map and robbed the treasure

"The assassin of the treasure map is you"

Feng Lingxi looked at Qiu'er, and when Qiu'er heard this, her body trembled. She didn't answer, she just looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes filled with pleading.

"What's a treasure map assassin"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi and Qiu'er. Qiu'er knew that Qiu'er had gone to the Yaozut had happened to Xi'er at the General's Mansion."My Lord, I've heard some things... I'm not sure if I should speak them."As soon as Ye Xi finished speaking, she was startled by the king's gaze. She h...
