Chapter 1278: War Clouds Rise

"Dugu City repeated the words she had said last night, foolish Miss Si. With this tigress's demeanor, still foolish, such a wind-ling Xi, actually deceived everyone in the capital."Get out of here, or..."Farewell."

Xinshui, seeing Luoli who saved her, excitedly hugged his waist. Luoli disgustingly shoved her away, causing Xinshui to fall to the ground, looking utterly embarrassed.

"Who sent you here" Luo Li turned her head, lifted her foot and stepped on Xinshui's injured arm. Her movements were fierce, causing Xinshui to cry out in pain.

Xinshui's face was full of disbelief. The joy of being saved by Luo Li just now hadn't been felt yet, and this question at this moment made Xinshui's love for Luo Li instantly turn into nothingness. Looking at the cold disgust in Luo Li's eyes, Xinshui gritted her teeth, hiding the love in her heart.

“I'm here to carry out my grandfather's mission, Chieftain. You should understand that I answer to my grandfather when it comes to missions.”

Luo Li retracted her foot and watched Xin Shui rise painfully, her eyes full of coldness.

"You're right, you are the Grand Elder's granddaughter. I'm just a puppet after all, almost forgot who I am."

As they spoke, Luoli reached out to pat Xinshui's dusty clothes. But the next second, she slapped her hard across the face. Xinshui’s mouth was bleeding from the blow, and she looked at Luoli with pain in her eyes, witnessing the fury burning within her.

"If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, don't even try to stop me from completing my mission."

"Here comes the person!"

Luo Li suddenly shouted, and dozens of black-clad men emerged from the shadows, quickly surrounding them. Even Feng Ling Xi was startled by this move. Was Luo Li going to remain hidden throughout the entire battle

When did he arrive, and have they been keeping tabs on his whereabouts all along

"Escort her out of the Great Yuan Dynasty and tell the Grand Elder that she disobeyed orders. If she dares to appear before me again, next time I will send back her corpse."

"Yes!"

The men in black rushed forward and grabbed Xinshui's arm. Xinshui struggled angrily, but was held tightly, only able to glare fiercely at Luo Li, her eyes full of unwillingness.

Xinshui glanced at Feng Lingxi. She was truly lucky, Luoli protected her wherever she went.

"Your Highness, Prince Chen, did you see everything The Chieftain's heroic rescue was truly for your Princess. He even dared to attack me, his own fiancée! You still believe they have nothing to do with this"

Dugu Cheng frowned, looking at Xinshui's unwilling eyes. He glanced at Feng Lingxi, then back at Luo Li, who had a cold face and was staring at Xinshui.

"This king believes in his own heart."

After Dugu City finished speaking, he looked at Luoli, "If he truly has feelings for Xi'er, could this King and Xi'er ever get back together"

Feng Lingxi hearing Dugu Cheng's words, her brows furrowed. What did he mean by this

"Xinshui, this is your last chance. I've endured time and again because of the Great Elder's sake, but there won't be another. And one more correction, you don't deserve that title of fiancée."

Luo Li raised her hand, but Xin Shui was forcefully dragged away by the man in black. There were angry curses from Xin Shui behind her, and the remaining female assassins looked at Luo Li and quickly knelt down. "Clan Leader, please spare our lives!"

"Take them all down, none left behind."

The men in black struck, and before the female assassins could even flee, they were killed. Their bodies fell to the ground and were quickly cleaned up.

Luo Li walked to Feng Ling Xi's face, looking at her, who was also looking at him, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

"I never expected that we could actually make Xinyu's words come true. Are you saying that I should really, as Xinyu said, develop a relationship with you to fulfill her wish"

Feng Ling Xi's face remained calm.

"The chieftain doesn't mind, do whatever you want."

"Xier, you..."

Dugu Cheng was very upset. She really did want to have a ambiguous relationship with Luoli

The Crown Prince is jealous.

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi, the smile on her lips widening. It was a stark contrast to the emotionless expression she had worn just moments ago when taking a life.

"Luo Li, your people are really something. Their sharp tongues and ability to twist the truth are truly impressive."

Dugu Cheng walked to Feng Lingxi's face, hugged her shoulder, and looked at Feng Lingxi's slightly furrowed brow. He reached out and smoothed it, "This king knows your temperament, Xi'er. Although you are very outstanding and beautiful, you are not the type Xi'er likes. Besides, only this king can catch Xi'er's eye. If anyone you spend time with is considered a rival in love, then this king has too many rivals."

Feng Lingxi reached out and poked Dugu City's abdomen, showing her displeasure with his words. "Who said that my eyes can only hold you Who says no one else can enter my eyes."

"Yes, yes, yes. This king can't enter your eyes, only your heart. Is that alright"

Du Gu Cheng's words caused Luo Li to frown. After speaking for so long, it seemed like he was only finding trouble for himself

Luoli likes who, I think he knows better than anyone else, only the one with no eye for talent can't see it.

Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli, "As long as it's true love, the opinions of others don't matter that much."

Luo Li frowned even tighter, "What do you mean by that"

"Don't you understand the literal meaning"

獨孤城 felt quite pleased with himself. Xi'er clearly disliked Luo Li, and even viewed him and Li Wu Yan as a couple. He liked Xi'er’s straightforward personality; she didn't like something, she said it plainly, without any ambiguity. She never made him worry.

"You really are..."

Luo Li glared at Feng Ling Xi, angered by her words. She really lacked vision.

"I don't know what I'm thinking about."

"Thinking of how to deal with you."

Feng Lingxi spoke frankly, looking at the men in black behind Li Wuyan, "This time, what Xinshui wants, are you not interested in"

"Not interested."

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi, "I told you, my mission is to return to the Ghost Saint Kingdom with your daughter when she turns ten. As for anything else, I'm not interested at all."

Mentioning this, Feng Lingxi's eyes darkened slightly. She hadn't forgotten her mother's warning not to trust anything said by anyone from the Yao clan. Luo Li was going to take Wan'er away when she turned ten, and she wouldn't let him do that.

"Just now you said you were a puppet, what do you mean by that"

Dugu Cheng changed the subject, "The head of the Yao clan is in a worse situation than the granddaughter of the Great Elder. If this gets out, it would be really interesting."

"Don't involve yourself in Yao people's affairs, lest you bring trouble upon yourself. Wan'er is still young and has nothing to do with you."

Luo Li's face fell, and the warning in her tone made Dugu Cheng frown. He didn't want to get involved with the Yao Clan's affairs; he would only make an enemy of them if they provoked him.

Hearing that Luo Li cared so much about Wan'er, Dugu City was truly a bit jealous. His daughter, he should be the one to pamper her, what does Luo Li like his daughter so much for

"Luo Li, you better find a wife quickly and don't even think about my daughter."

"Pff..."

Feng Lingxi, unable to hold back any longer, looked at Dugu Cheng's serious expression. How could he have such an idea

Shouldn't he wonder if Wan'er is really Luo Li's child

"Dugu City, why don't you suspect that Wan'er might be my daughter You know, Wan'er really is my daughter!" Luo Li was playfully teasing, but before he could finish his words, Dugu City gave him a contemptuous look.t each other, then at Feng Fu Ren, "Madam has been safely returned, we should also leave, not to disturb is best."The Lady of the Wind raised her hand to soothe, "You can't say it like that. If it wer...
