.."The Shujiafei raised her hand as if to strike him, but in the end she didn't. She simply held him, weeping even more sadly.Feng Lingxi watched them, the mother and child, from the side. Her heart f...Hearing the elder's words, Feng Lingxi was furious inside, but she knew that she couldn't refute him now. Having just arrived here, she didn't know what the situation was. If she argued with him, whether Wan'er and she could survive was another matter altogether.
"I'm truly moved by the Elder Wan'er's kindness. My husband and I have discussed this, and we want to tell Wan'er that she can stay in the Yao clan. To be honest with all of you elders, this child and I have some distance between us. If you elders could take her in and teach her yourselves, I believe she will surely become a remarkable person."
Feng Ling Xi's words made the elders present frown.
This Feng Lingxi, he doesn't want to take Wan'er, that little witch away. This isn't how they imagined it at all.
The news brought back by the Third Elder was indeed true. It seems that Ali said that Wan'er dislikes Feng Lingxi this mother, and the mother and daughter have been at odds for half a year is true.
How can such a young child be cold to her like that Is this the attitude a mother should have
Though the elders were inwardly filled with anger, none of them dared to voice their discontent.
Feng Lingxi, seeing them all silent, smiled brightly.
"My husband and I discussed this last night. As long as Wan'er is well, we are content."
Feng Lingxi's clear-headedness left the Grand Elder speechless.
"Are you truly willing to leave Wan'er in the Yao clan for us to raise"
Why not spare it
Feng Lingxi's face was filled with shock, "After hearing the Third Elder talk about Wan'er's situation last night, my husband and I couldn't sleep a wink. After much deliberation, we decided to entrust Wan'er to all of you elders for raising. Your willingness to raise her is Wan'er's blessing, after all, if it were us as a couple, we'd probably be driven to death by her."
All the elders changed their expressions, especially Elder Six, who even vaguely felt a headache.
"Big brother, Wan'er is still young. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to raise her."
The Elder spoke first, and the Second Elder agreed, "This child is still young. In a few years, we can bring her up here and teach her properly. It will also allow her to develop a bond with her mother."
"No need." Feng Lingxi hastily interrupted them, "I don't need to cultivate feelings with her. After all, she will be the future leader of the Yao Clan. To become a candidate that satisfies all the elders, she needs to study hard."
"This child is so young, how can you bear to not want her"
Feng Lingxi smiled and looked at the Grand Elder, "Of course I would think about it, but compared to the future of the Yao clan, this sacrifice is nothing."
I want to take her, but I can't bear to part with Wan'er. You won't be able to scheme against her.
Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes twirled, looking at the Grand Elder in silence, a smile widening on her lips.
"Wan'er has probably gotten used to being in the clan these past few days. This time, I came to see her and have a good talk with her. We plan to return after that, as she stays here. There are many things to attend to on our side, and staying this long only made us realize we were being too foolish."
"Mother."
Wan'er's voice reached him, Feng Lingxi lifted her eyes, her eyes lit up, and a sourness filled her nose, making her want to cry.
Luo Li walked in with Wan'er, her brow furrowed after hearing Feng Lingxi's words just outside the door.
"Grand Elder, should we keep Wan'er or send her away Perhaps it would be best for the Holy One to reside within the clan for a few days. After the elders have thoroughly discussed the matter, we can then make a decision."
Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er, holding back the sourness in her heart. This child really made her heartache, she wanted to hug her so much, but she didn't dare.
The elder found his footing and nodded. “Since the chief has spoken, we shall follow the chief’s wishes. You may stay for a few days while we deliberate and make a decision.”
"Yes."
Feng Lingxi obeyed his suggestion and first observed what the old man and Luo Li meant.
Hearing what Luo Li meant, it seemed to contradict the elder's words.
"You may stay in my temple these days, it will be convenient for you and Wan'er to be together."
"Wouldn't that be a bit bad"
Before the Grand Elder could speak, Feng Lingxi eagerly asked, and the Grand Elder agreed.
"After all, she is a married woman, living in your temple. If this were to get out, it wouldn't be good for your reputation."
"Grand Elder, the Temple is so large, with so many people. I only cleared out one room for her to stay in. Besides, there are no other suitable rooms here for her. After all, she is the Holy Master, and the Temple should accommodate her."
When the words of parting reached Shui Ting's ears, he immediately stepped forward and said, "I disagree. If she lives in your temple, wouldn't that make her the mistress of the temple"
Feng Lingxi was looking at the girl walking over, wondering who she was, when he heard the head elder scold her.
"Xinshui, one must not be disrespectful. She is the Saintess of the Yao Clan."
"Grandfather, what is the Holy Lord doing I am still the future Clan Leader's wife. Why let her live in the temple She is already married! What will people say if this gets out Won't her husband abandon her"
Feng Lingxi was slightly surprised. This young girl turned out to be Luoli's fiancee and the granddaughter of the Great Elder. It seemed that Luoli wasn't living a good life here.
"Grand Elder, I have never agreed to this marriage. Please do not bring it up again."
Luo Li's face fell, she publicly refused the marriage proposal. Looking at Xin Shui's complexion that suddenly changed, her eyes turned cold.
"I told you, don't push my patience."
The High Elder looked at Xinshui, seeing that she was about to explode with anger again, he quickly held her back and signaled her not to be impulsive.
"Go away first."
"Grandpa!"
Her heart was pounding, and she stamped her feet in anger. She glared at Feng Lingxi with fury, as if Feng Lingxi had stolen Luoli from her.
The Grand Elder glared at her, his eyes warning her, and she then settled down.
"Chieftain, first arrange for the Holy Lord to settle down, and we'll discuss the marriage later."
Luoli looked at Fenglingxi, "Come with me."
Feng Lingxi bowed to the elders and then followed Luo Li down.
"Grandpa, Brother Ali must marry me. That woman is already married; she has no right to live in the temple. It's my place."
Xinshui complained, and the Great Elder sternly rebuked her, "Stop being ridiculous! I'll lock you up. Don't you know who she is Speaking such nonsense and ruining my plans, you don't even think about marrying Luoli!"
Feeling chastised, she bit her lip with a sulky expression, looking at the Grand Elder with aggrieved eyes.
"Big brother, you can't blame Xinshui for this. She's a simple child who just wants to marry Ali. It's not a bad thing either. Don't take it to heart."
"You all know Ali's personality. The more you pressure him, the more he resists. Don't push him away, or we'll be the ones who suffer."
Elder Two nodded in agreement, "What the eldest brother said is true. It's my fault for not thinking things through. Xin Shui, just be patient. When your grandfather has made proper arrangements, you will surely become the clan leader's wife."
"Grandpa, you have to watch over Brother Ali, and don't let him get involved with that woman."
With a reluctant nod from the Grand Elder, he left after his final words.
"Big brother, what do you think about Feng Lingxi's words just now Does she really want to keep Wan'er, or is she saying it on purpose"n'er being taken away. If my mother-in-law finds out, she'll definitely come to help. I believe she has a way."Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, praying in her heart that Wan'er would truly be alright.Du G...
