s happening yet when she saw blood oozing from the corner of Liu's mouth, and her hands went limp as she slid down. Feng Linglong's face paled with fright, "Mother!"Feng Lingxi was also startled and h...Luo Li's angry expression instantly turned docile. "Alright, I won't say anything more, and you don't have to be angry either." He knew he was being harsh, but didn't he realize who his confidante was He treated him so well, yet it wasn't as impactful as Feng Ling Xi's kindness towards his mother.

If only he had studied medicine diligently from the start, perhaps Ah Yan would have treated him differently.

"Isn't it more interesting to compare yourself to Xier all day"

Li Wuyan coldly questioned, "She saved my mother's life, and I, yours."

Luo Li frowned, "I know."

"I've already been very good to you."

Li Wuyan finished speaking, leaving without looking back, leaving Luoli dumbfounded.

He didn't say he was bad to himself, did Ayan misunderstand something

Feng Lingxi returned to the room, looking at Dugu City who was tired and sleeping on the table. Feng Lingxi walked over and took a blanket to cover him. Looking at the documents on his desk, she picked one up casually, her hand was grabbed.

"Back"

Feng Lingxi responded and looked at his weary face, "If you're tired, go to bed. It's cold."

Dugu Cheng pulled Feng Ling Xi into his arms and held her tightly, whispering softly, "Seeing you makes me feel warm."

Slick-tongued.

Feng Ling Xi placed the file back on the table and gently stroked Du Gu Cheng's furrowed brow. "Is something wrong You look so tired."

"There's been some trouble at Tianxiang Lou, Ye Xi is handling it. I'm being watched constantly, so it's inconvenient to do anything. I have to go out at night for everything. Also, these past few days, I've noticed Dugu Su investigating me."

"Are you talking about Dugu City's identity or the identity of Tianxiang Building"

Feng Lingxi frowned, seeing the worry clouds on Dugu Cheng's handsome face, her eyes filled with concern.

"Could it be that Du Gucheng is the master of Tianxiang Building Are they related If he finds out, I'll become the recognized master of Tianxiang Building. The court could never tolerate such a presence. Tianxiang Building has great influence in all countries, posing a huge threat to the court. If they knew it was me, and combined with my control over 500,000 soldiers, they would either force me to surrender my authority or lead me into rebellion."

Surrendering military power is tantamount to suicide, and rebelling is equivalent to treason. He doesn't want either of those things.

"Is Tianxiang Building really just an intelligence gathering station today"

As for the tavern's existence, if it were just a mere intelligence station, perhaps it would be better. But if it is not...

Feng Lingxi didn't dare to think too much. Looking at Dugu City, she felt for the first time that he was more complicated than herself.

"Gathering intelligence is one thing, to put it bluntly, the owner of Tianxiang Lou is also a notorious killer leader, Shezi Lei. No matter which identity is found out, the consequences are unimaginable."

"So, even though I've been hunted in the Jianghu, I haven't actually encountered many assassination attempts. Is it you who has been stopping them behind the scenes"

"There's Luoli left."

Dugu Cheng said truthfully, "I only stopped the assassins from the Great Yuan Dynasty. But as you know, I can't control the assassins cultivated by Feng Yu Xi and Empress Cen myself. Besides me, that is."

He has no extraordinary powers, he is just an ordinary person.

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Without your protection, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."

"Not entirely."

Dugu Cheng took out a map and opened it. It was a map of the world, marking the locations of each country, as well as the location of Tianxiang Building in those countries. It was very clear. Feng Lingxi had never seen such a detailed map before.

This Dugu City actually knows how to do this too, but doesn't this mean that Dugu City is actually all over the world and has been to many places

“Although Empress Cen said to the world that you cooperated with her and surrendered your treasures, the Yao clan members all over the world will soon receive clues and spread them around, whitewashing you and reducing the number of assassination attempts against you. However, this still cannot change the fact that there are people behind the scenes manipulating everything.”

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "The status of this Holy Lord and my status as a prince are the same. They both seem high above, but in reality, many people want to pull you down from your position, or directly replace you."

This was the first time Dugu Cheng had told Feng Lingxi these things. He looked at Feng Lingxi's surprised expression, “Lingxi, you still remember telling me that you weren’t from this world, but a soul from somewhere else, right But you don’t know that there might be many others like you in this world, they just haven’t revealed their identities.”

"Who would say it."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City. If it weren't for trust, saying it out loud, how many people would believe it This might be a bad idea; maybe they were treating her as an experiment. Wouldn't that just be digging her own grave

"You're right, that's exactly it. So, we can only outsmart and outfight them. They have their strengths, and we have ours too."

"You keep going on and on, what about you Aren't you one of us here either"

Feng Lingxi finished asking, Dugu Cheng lightly tapped her nose, smiling indulgently.

"This king is truly the emperor's son, a prince born and raised in this Great Yuan dynasty."

Feng Lingxi was amused by his words, "That is to say, someone at the genius level, right"

Du Gucheng smiled, "Xi'er said this, and the husband is happy. I don't know when we can tear up the divorce letter between us. This King wants to marry you."

"Don't come here."

Windling Xi, upon mentioning this, curled her lips in displeasure and said, "This letter of dismissal was given to you by me, it hasn't even had time to cool down, how can it be destroyed like this"

"That..." Dugu Cheng suddenly picked up Feng Lingxi, and Feng Lingxi cried out in surprise, hugging his neck. Looking into the heat in his eyes, her face flushed.

"Let's cultivate feelings first. Once your divorce papers are finalized, this King will tear you apart."

"Okay."

Feng Lingxi smiled and replied, hugging his neck and kissing him proactively.

The long night, the cold wind howling, yet could not stop the raging fire within. Outside, the first snowfall of the year arrived.

The next day, the front of the Yao Clan's main residence was surrounded by government officials from the imperial court. Feng Lingxi got up and disguised herself as Ye Xi, following Dugu Cheng out. Luoli and Li Wuyan stood at the door, looking at the officers in front of them without raising an eyelid.

"What happened"

Dugu City swept over these officials with cold eyes, his gaze narrowed slightly, and a chill permeated the air.

"Fourth King, my subordinate is here on the Empress Dowager's order to invite Lord Feng Lingxi of the Yao clan to the palace for a visit."

"Yao Clan Saint Lord"

Luo Li's cold eyes swept across the crowd, "These are what you call 'inviting'"

Feng Lingxi frowned. This Empress Cen had promised not to reveal her identity to them, but she announced it just a few days later. It seems that this Dugu Su also knows she's here.

"The chieftain of the Yao people, the Empress Dowager said, although your Yao people have always looked down upon all other countries, this is still the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty. You cannot act recklessly here..."

Before he could finish his words, Dugu City suddenly drew his sword. A flash of cold light, a spurt of blood, and the man who was speaking had his head severed.w if I can save her.""If you can't save her, you die."The man in black's eyes fell on Ye Xi, "And him too.""I have no choice. I'm not your opponent, and it's impossible to escape under your nose. So r...
