he maidservants hurriedly responded and looked at the door of the queen's room with a look of reluctance in their eyes."Xiao Li, be careful when cleaning the room, don't touch the poison powder."Wind...Dugu Cheng and others quickly ran to Feng Lingxi's face, frightened out of their wits.

"I'm fine, hurry up and catch the assassin."

Feng Lingxi pointed to the position of the courtyard wall, "The just-now concealed weapon came from there, go and have a look."

Lu Nianrang left Dugu City behind and rushed over, only to find that the assassin had already left.

"It must be those from the Yao clan. It seems I can no longer stay by Miss's side."

Xiao Cao knelt on one knee, Feng Ling Xi hurriedly pulled her up. Xiao Cao shook her head, "Miss, if Xiao Cao stays by your side, you will only be in more danger."

"If you leave, they'll keep hunting you. And since your identity is already exposed, you might as well fight them head-on. They're in the shadows, and we're out in the open. No matter how we hide, we're at a disadvantage."

Little Grass bit her lip, "But if Little Grass stays by the young lady's side, it would be equivalent to openly confronting the Yao Clan. Has the young lady thought this through"

“Didn’t we already turn our backs on each other” Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Cao’s worried eyes and said with a smile, “The identity of the Saint Lord of the Yao Clan is just a pawn for me in the Yao Clan. It will sooner or later turn against me, not to mention that they have captured my mother now, isn't this equivalent to turning their backs on me”

"The little grass thanks Miss for taking it in."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly pulled her up, "Come on, from now on you'll follow me, you'll be mine. I'll do everything in my power to protect you, just like you protected my mother all these years."

The little grass scratched its head sheepishly, "Miss, with your martial arts, I'm afraid you still need my protection."

Feng Lingxi chuckled softly, "Alright, I'll leave my safety to you from now on."

"Thank you, miss."

Little Cai excitedly held onto Feng Lingxi's arm, smiling brightly. But her action caused Dugu Cheng on the side to frown, even if it was someone from Yue Mother's side, they shouldn't be so intimately holding arms, right

"Later, you can choose a few sets of clothes yourself. After that, you'll be following me and you can't dress like you used to."

Xiao Cao smiled stiffly, still nodding her head.

"Butler, take Xiaochao to pick out a few sets of clothes. Don't be slow."

The butler hurried forward to greet Xiaocǎo, "Please come in, Miss Xiaocǎo,"

"Girl"

Dugu City was a little surprised to hear the housekeeper's words. Feng Lingxi nodded, "That's right, Xiaocao is a girl. How come you didn't realize it"

"This King..." I really didn't see it, this little grass acts more like a man than any man. It's truly unbelievable that she appears to be a girl.

Feng Lingxi chuckled softly, "That's because she was disguising her identity. Now that she's following me and needs a new one, she has no choice but to change back into women's clothing."

"Xier, the person ran away."

Lu Nian returned to Feng Lingxi's side, quite angry. "These good-for-nothings, they don't even know when people appear, it's truly a waste raising them."

It's normal to lose track of members of the Yao ethnic group, as they are very secretive.

Feng Lingxi walked to where the weapon had fallen. She remembered that when it came flying, the sound of the wind cutting through the air was carrying a hint of sharpness; it must have been something rather large.

Feng Lingxi calculated the distance. She walked on the ground and saw a dagger near the flower bed. She picked up the dagger and examined it carefully. Holding the dagger, Feng Lingxi went to the courtyard wall where the assassin had attacked from, jumped onto the wall, and searched for a place to strike.

Feng Lingxi's actions left everyone below dumbfounded, they couldn't react for a while.

When will Xi'er be able to use light work

Dugu City asked Lu Nian, he remembered that the Xi'er back then wouldn't have done it, but she could do it with auxiliary tools. But now, it was clearly light work, and moreover, it was evident that she was quite skilled at it.

"She learned it from her mother and her master."

Feng Siqi looked at their curious gazes, “Mother’s light kung fu is not as good as mine and Siyu’s.”

"Si Yu would too"

Upon seeing Feng Siqi nod, Dugu Cheng felt a surge of pride in his heart. After all, he was the son of Dugu Clan. His martial arts talent was naturally superior to ordinary people.

"It seems your mother has lived quite a fulfilling life these past five years. Her medical skills have improved, and she's even learned martial arts. She seems to be doing just fine without a man."

As soon as Lu Nian finished speaking, she felt the cold gaze of Dugu City. She coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject.

"Xier seems pretty good at it."

This is called "listening to the wind and arguing," Mother learned it from Grandfather for three years. If she still couldn't learn it, Grandfather would know and be so angry he'd beat her up.

Everyone's lips twitched, looking at Feng Siqi's expression that wasn't surprised at all, as if they were the ones making a fuss.

What else can your mother do

Du Gu Cheng asked, Feng Si Qi's attitude towards him was still acceptable, she should not have kept it to herself.

"Mother's hidden weapons are quite good, the rest are just mediocre."

Feng Siqi gave a look of disdain, "Grandpa said that our mother is only good at medicine in her lifetime."

"Is your grandfather very capable"

Du Gucheng glanced at Lu Nian, seeing that he, like himself, was looking at Feng Siqi with curiosity. It seemed he didn't know either.

"Of course I'm amazing, my grandfather is the Divine Doctor of Xi Gu Country, and his martial arts are unfathomable. But, he has a personality like a child, always grabbing my food from when I was little to now."

Dugu City coughed lightly, his gaze falling on Feng Lingxi. She was closing her eyes, gesturing with her hands. Dugu City walked to the wall of her courtyard.

"Xi'er, come down. The assassin is heading..."

"This location."

Feng Lingxi opened her eyes, walked to the other end of the courtyard wall, crouched down, lay on her side in a good position, held her weapon and made a movement. Sure enough, as she imagined, she had been watching from here for a long time.

"Woof woof woof…"

The barking of a large dog beneath her feet caused Feng Lingxi to lower her head and look curiously at the big black dog. Seeing it bark at her, she was about to go down when she suddenly caught sight of a dog hole where the black dog was located.

"I'll go take a look."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and jumped down, landing beside the large black dog. This doghouse wasn't particularly hidden, but since it was in the backyard, aside from the people in the house, no one else should know about its location. Most importantly, this doghouse was right next to the neighbor's house.

Lu Nian and Dugu Cheng landed beside Feng Lingxi, watching her not enter. The two were worried, after all, the assassination just now was aimed at her.

"You guys are just in time, there's a doggy door here. Our house doesn't need this doggy door, let's just block it up."

Dugu Cheng squatted down. The black dog, seeing so many people, suddenly ran to the neighboring house. Its dog hole was right across from them, which meant that Lu's family's dog hole and the neighbor's dog hole were in a straight line.

"You're saying that an assassin might go directly from here to the next room"

Lu Nian pondered, after all, the two houses were too close, and they didn't find any assassins when they went out to pursue them at first. The possibility of going to the neighbor's house was very high.

Who lives next door

Lu Nianjian looked at Dugu City with a bewildered expression. "How could I know I haven't lived here long. Aren't you the King of Dawn Shouldn't you know who lives here better than me"she went to the county town. After the Lantern Festival, life in the city had returned to normal."Xiao Li, how many informants does the Yao Clan have here Tell them all to find Feng Yi Xuan for me.""Y...
