Chapter 282: Seize Power 37

enough with me and the Princess. Xiao Li can help out, you wait over there."Shutai's heart wasn't at ease. Feng Lingxi comforted her, "Mother Empress, too many people would be in the way. Yan's medic...The Wind Matriarch walked over and helped the Great Elder to his feet. "Elder Yao, it's been a long time. I see you are still in good health. This is truly a blessing for our Yao Clan."

Yao Qing hurriedly said, “Yao Qing thanks the Holy Lord for his blessing.” Having said that, Yao Qing looked at Dugu City and Ye Xi, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Lord, I don't know who these two young masters are"

"Let me introduce you, Elder Yao. This is Young Master Chen, and this is his attendant. I was attacked on my way back, and it was thanks to both of you that I managed to return safely to the clan."

Yao Qing looked at Dugu City and Ye Xi, hurriedly bowing and thanking them, "On behalf of the entire clan, Yao Qing thanks the two young masters for their life-saving grace."

Dugu Cheng bowed his hands, with the manner of a martial arts practitioner, "Elder Yao, you are too polite. It's just a small effort, don't think too much of it."

"Since you two are saviors of the Holy Lord, why not stay within the clan for a few days and rest"

Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi looked at 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 weren't for both of you benefactors, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return. Both benefactors must stay here for a few days, allowing me to show my hospitality as a host and repay your life-saving grace."

"The Lord said, 'Let the two young masters stay for a few days so that we can repay their kindness in saving us.'"

Dugu Cheng, as if finding it hard to believe, met Ye Xi's gaze and clasped his hands together, saying, "Then I'll take my leave."

"Don't disturb, don't disturb."

Yao Qing greeted with a smile, looking at Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi. The shrewdness in her eyes didn't escape Dugu Cheng's gaze. Yao Qing wanted to keep him, but it seemed she wasn't planning to let them leave the Yao clan alive. It looked like Yao Qing would make her move soon.

The Wind Matriarch looked at the Yao tribe's people. These years, they hadn't returned. The Yao tribe's people were just as she remembered them. Seeing her, they were still as enthusiastic.

"Lord, please."

Yao Qing looked into the gaze of the Holy Master and hurriedly said to her clansmen, “The Holy Master has traveled a long way, and it must have been hard. Everyone, go back and rest. Tomorrow the Holy Master will bestow blessings, and we will all worship him together.”

"Farewell to Our Lord."

The clansmen cried out in unison, and the Yao Clan guards arrived quickly. After bowing, they escorted Madam Feng back home.

This dwelling of the Holy Master is somewhat like that of a tribal chieftain, simple yet lavish without being ostentatious. The interior decorations are pleasing to the eye.

"Elder Yao, arrange for the two benefactors to stay in Fengyuan."

The Madam spoke, and Yao Qing's face was slightly surprised. She looked at Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi and hurriedly said, "Please, both young masters."

"You all go rest first. I'll have them bring you here for dinner later. I have some things to attend to now."

獨孤城 responded, and Ye Xi followed Yao Qing to Fengyuan for a rest.

"Master Chen, on behalf of the Yao Clan, I would like to express our deepest gratitude for your assistance in ensuring the safe return of His Holiness."

Yao Qing spoke, her amiable face beaming with a smile, as if she were overjoyed to have the Madame Feng return.

"Elder Yao, you're too polite. We just happened to encounter the Holy Lord and saved her. The Holy Lord has already expressed her gratitude."

"The two young masters are truly chivalrous, it is a pity that the Holy Master let you two stay in Fengyuan."

Dugu Cheng furrowed his brow. "What's different about this Fengyuan" His tone implied that he wasn't particularly pleased with them living in Fengyuan.

"Our Yao tribe division, with favorable winds and ample rainfall in four courtyards. Each wind courtyard usually houses the Saint Lord and his family. I never expected the Saint Lord to arrange for two of them to reside in Wind Courtyard."

Yao Qing's words surprised Du Gu Cheng. He didn't know the Yao Clan had such customs, but he had lived through it before.

"Elder Yao, my young master didn't know that only the Holy Lord's family could live in Fengyuan. We are truly sorry. We will immediately go find the Holy Lord and ask her to change our place for us..."

Ye Xi was about to turn back when Elder Yao hurried to stop him.

"I didn't mean it that way, young master. If you were to tell the Holy Lord, he would surely reprimand me."

Ye Xi wore a difficult expression. "That's how it is, then what about our housing problem"

"Of course they live in Fengyuan. The two of you are the saviors of the Holy Master, so your treatment will naturally be different."

Dugu Cheng looked at Elder Yao's expression and said lightly, "Then I'll trouble Elder Yao to lead the way."

"Master Chen, please."

Dugu Cheng followed Yao Qing forward, looking at the scenery of the Yao clan. He had to say, this scenery was truly beautiful, it was just a paradise away from the world.

“Elder Yao, my young master is rather quiet. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by his presence these days. Please take good care of him.”

Yao Qing glanced at Dugu City with a smile and said, "Master Chen is extraordinary, not an ordinary person. I wonder which country's young master you two are"

Ye Xi seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Elder Yao, which country we are from is unimportant. What's important is that we are the savior of Saint Master. We snuck out this time, and unexpectedly saved the Saint Master. We will escort her back and then leave. We won't say who we are from."

Yao Qing's smile remained on her face, "I was too forward, I hope Master Chen will forgive me."

"Elder Yao, please rest assured. Since we're not revealing our identities, we naturally won't leak any information about the Yao Clan. Tomorrow, I will ask the Saint Lord for leave and depart from the Yao Clan."

Yao Qing's eyes lit up with joy, but she masked it very well. She quickly said, "Master Chen, wouldn't you stay for a few more days The Yao clan is just an independent tribe. Since Master Chen has come here by chance, he is our guest."

"There's something else, Elder Yao, please forgive me."

Yao Qing looked at Dugu Cheng and beckoned to him. Dugu Cheng rarely spoke. When they arrived at Fengyuan, he arranged for several maidservants to take good care of him before taking his leave.

Ye Xi closed the door to her room, making sure no one had entered. She quickly asked, "My lord, are you really leaving tomorrow"

獨孤城 glanced at Ye Xi, who grinned and leaned closer to him. "My lord," she said with a playful smile, "I'm truly clueless about which of your words are true and which are false now."

"Walls have ears."

Dugu Cheng put down the sword in his hand, looking at the maidservant who pushed the door in. Ye Xi withdrew her expression.

"Master Chen, Elder Yao instructed me to bring you clothes and attend to both young masters' bath and dressing."

"Shall I attend to your bath and dressing"

Ye Xi looked at them, subconsciously covering her chest, "That we can do it ourselves, you guys go out first."

"I am here by order, and I hope the young master will not make it difficult for me."

Ye Xi hurriedly brought their clothes over, "How can this be, you served us bathing and dressing, exposing your bodies to you, aren't you responsible"

When Ye Xi said this, both maids blushed.

"You guys aren't responsible, even though we are both men, my face is thin, and my master dislikes women coming near. The two sisters still let me serve our master with bathing and changing clothes, so don't peek."

"Master, please don't jest. How dare a servant peek at you."

Ye Xi gave Dugu City a wink. Dugu City glanced outside, "You all back off, let Ye Xi attend to me."eing the Empress Dowager nod, Consort Shu only then turned around. She glanced at Feng Lingxi and Du Gucheng, but her gaze fell on Wan'er. Looking at the little girl, her brows furrowed.Grandma hastil...
