Holy Maiden. According to clan rules, he should be executed on the spot.""Are the three elders going to disobey the chieftain's orders"Yao Yi saw the situation clearly. The Great Elder was not a rash...Feng Lingxi looked at the man in white who suddenly appeared. She stood straight, her eyes carefully examining him.

"Looks eight out of ten."

"Eight parts of martial arts."

"Eight out of ten for her figure."

"Our lives are worth eight points." Feng Lingxi coldly glanced at the three disciples, her eyes slightly furrowed. When would they understand their own predicament

The man in white quickly surveyed the two adults and two children before him.

"Boss, they robbed us."

The scarred man saw the boss arrive and instantly became full of confidence.

The man in white heard his subordinate's words, looked at Feng Lingxi and the others, and said apologetically, "These people have offended you. Tao will apologize to all of you here."

Feng Lingxi was taken aback. This bandit leader actually apologized to her. Looking at his attire, he seemed quite skilled in martial arts and more like a knight errant. How could he be with these bandits

"Master Tao, are you their leader"

Tao Su nodded, meeting Feng Ling Xi's astonished gaze, and cupped his hands in apology, "Although they are bandits, they haven't done anything harmful. I hope this madam can forgive them this time."

"It's clear they wouldn't make good robbers."

Tao Su smiled, nodding slightly. His smile was very comfortable, like being bathed in spring breeze, making people feel at ease.

"Sir Tao, since they are not cut out to be bandits, why do you let them become one And you, with your martial arts skills that are not weak, you don't seem like an ordinary person. Why did you become their leader"

"Madam, there are things you don't know..."

"My last name is Feng, you can call me Xiao Feng."

Feng Lingxi didn't tell him her full name, she was afraid. She didn't know if this Master Tao had ever heard of her name, so for safety's sake, she chose to use a different one.

Tao Su nodded. “You can call me Su Su.”

Feng Lingxi nodded. Tao Su looked at the group of bandits behind him, "They are all refugees who have lost their homes because of the drought. They can't enter the city and have nowhere to stay outside the city, so they went up the mountain."

"Isn't Xi Gu Guo a great nation Does the imperial court not care"

At first, Lu Nian had told her that the Lu family was known for their philanthropy and it was impossible for them to be in such a dire situation.

“Where are there no refugees Can the court possibly handle so many What's more, the town where they are located is ruled by corrupt officials. Even if the court wanted to help, the relief funds would be eaten up by corrupt officials before they even reached their hands.”

"You're right, there are corrupt officials everywhere. I was naive."

Feng Lingxi chuckled self-deprecatingly. She had almost forgotten that this was the case even in the Yuan Dynasty.

Even the most powerful emperor of Xi Gu could not eliminate all corrupt officials.

"Where is Master Tao Why is he with them Could it be that they are related"

Feng Ling Xi's question made the bandits behind Tao Su's eyes turn red.

"The big boss has fallen into this situation all for our sake, Madam, please forgive our big boss."

The scarred man knelt before Feng Lingxi, "If you want to hit or scold, just do it to me."

"And we too."

The men behind Scarface were all righteous and shouted loudly, Feng Lingxi was amused by their imposing manner.

"What are you doing I never said to beat up your boss, I just asked a question."

Feng Lingxi looked at Tao Su, "I'm just curious how you came to become a bandit."

"The boss is making a scene to help us out with the county magistrate..."

"I killed that corrupt county official."

Tao Su interrupted the scarred man's words, looking at Feng Lingxi's surprise in her eyes, and said faintly, "I have no regrets."

"If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't regret it either."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the bandits behind him. They were all refugees. It was probably Taosu's idea to have them rob people here, wasn't it

"How many people are there in your village"

Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment and then asked, "If I could help you solve this problem in your lives, would you be willing to tell me about it"

"Can you help us"

Tao Su looked at Feng Lingxi and began to doubt her origins, daring to say such words, "Are you from the imperial court"

"No, but I'm willing to help you. You can choose to believe me or not."

"Girl, are you going to wade into this muddy water"

The old man glanced at the group of bandits behind him. Although they weren't exactly heinous criminals, Tao Su killing the county magistrate was a serious offense. This was a court official, an outlaw.

"Master, I'll just be meddling in this. Look, they aren't entirely without remorse. It's the court that hasn't managed them properly, not their fault. If we can help them return to normal life, it benefits both them and ourselves."

Feng Lingxi looked at Tao Su, "His wonderful life shouldn't be spent hiding in the mountains forever. A person who stands up for justice deserves my help."

"You're full of theories."

The old man looked at Feng Lingxi, "Then how do you plan to help him"

Feng Lingxi's eyes struggled, "Find someone to help."

"Who do you recognize"

The old man looked at her, "Don't just busy yourself helping others, think about yourself more often, okay"

"Master, please rest assured. I wouldn't do anything without being sure. Since I agreed to help them, I naturally have a way."

Wind Lingxi finished speaking, walked to the tree and shouted, "Siyu, come down."

Feng Siyu leaped from a tall tree. Though only four years old, his martial arts skills left Tao Su dumbfounded. He bowed respectfully to Feng Lingxi, “Tao Su thanks Lady Xiaofeng for her help.”

"Tao Su gege, do you have a wife"

Wind Siqi hurried forward and shouted, her eyes instantly squinting into a slit. This wasn't an enemy; it was Tao Su! Wind Siqi's face was filled with smiles.

"Get your drool under control. You should be calling me Uncle, not brother. It's embarrassing."

Feng Siyu wore a look of disdain. Feng Siqi's thoughts were truly infuriating to him, he really couldn't understand how their mother could have given birth to such a brazen girl.

Feng Siqi crossed her arms, her aura instantly bursting open. Her phoenix eyes glared at Feng Siyu, gritting her teeth and saying, "Feng Siyu, don't push your luck!"

"Just shout whatever you want, I don't mind, have fun."

Tao Su smiled, looking at the two identical children in front of her. She turned to Feng Lingxi, "Xiao Feng, these two children are truly intelligent; they're destined for greatness."

"If you don't disturb me, I will be content."

Feng Lingxi's eyes swept over the two of them, "If you're so free, go back and copy out the Book of Songs for me."

"Mother, my brother and I were just playing around, right brother"

Feng Siqi's little face immediately broke into a smile, winking at Feng Siyu. She couldn't provoke her mother, or else she wouldn't be able to eat well.

"Mother, Siyu knows he was wrong and is willing to accept punishment."

Feng Siyu glared at Feng Siqi, "Sister, she's still young, just let her copy the Three Character Classic."

"Feng Siyu!"

Feng Siqi gritted her teeth and roared, rushing quickly toward Feng Siyu. Feng Siyu's feet stirred the wind, and the two immediately chased after each other, like a gust of wind blowing past, two small figures chasing each other, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.

Feng Lingxi shook her head helplessly, already accustomed to the incompatibility of these two siblings. Fourth Princess, just look at my Lord. You'll know."Li, the housekeeper, heaved a heavy sigh and brought Feng Lingxi to Su Wang's courtyard. Looking at the vegetables, fruits, and trees planted all...
