Chapter 1050 Ghost Saint Nation Part 11

They avoided the chieftain and met here to discuss countermeasures."Grand Elder, what do you think about this The chieftain has returned, and his relationship with the Holy Maiden seems very good. I'm..."It really is him." The one who had healed his leg in the past was now here to take her life.

Feng Lingxi chuckled with self-deprecating amusement, "The people in this world are truly hard to see through."

"I only knew about the Fourth Princess's medical skills because of him. That's why I had to resort to this plan. If I hadn't, there would be no way to get the Fourth Princess to help. Please forgive me."

"So, was that letter written by you"

Shangguan Huan hurriedly shook his head, "That letter was from Dugu Su. He said that as long as I had it, he could definitely lure you out. I thought you would come in person, but I didn't expect the Fourth Prince to send him. I was afraid of missing the opportunity, so I had no choice but to attack him. My attack was too heavy, and I am truly sorry, but he did accomplish his mission. My attack on him is equivalent to completing the task he gave me."

"Is this considered..."

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, seeing Shangguan Huan nod, she looked puzzled.

"Dugu Su said he would kill you, and the ten thousand taels he gave was a deposit. I severely injured him, which is enough for the deposit he promised me. As for what comes after, it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, after Qiu'er wakes up, I won't be a killer anymore. Breaking my promise once is just redemption."

"Since you're not going to be a killer, why not come with me I'm short on people around here. If you're willing, follow me, and I won't treat you badly."

"Don't you really mind what I did to you before"

Shangguan Huan looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes a little uneasy. He had almost killed Ye Xi.

"Ye Xi, what do you think"

"One doesn't know a person until they've fought, and in the martial world, how many people haven't met this way"

Ye Xi reached out his hand, Shangguan Huan looked at him, very excited.

"Thank you."

"From now on, follow the Princess. She won't mistreat you."

Ye Xi looked at the smile on the Queen's face, truly admiring it. She could fool someone into giving their life for her, no, two people! The Queen was indeed a good person. She casually picked up a martial arts expert as her bodyguard. Luckily, she had someone she liked. Otherwise, if the King found out, he would be so jealous. After all, this man wasn't bad looking either.

"That..."

Shangguan Huan stood up, a little at a loss. After a while, he suddenly knelt down, startling Feng Lingxi.

"Shàngguān Huàn wouldn't speak, not knowing how to thank the Fourth Princess. Her immense grace goes unsaid; please accept my three bows."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly stopped him.

"A man should have gold under his knees, and you kneel so easily, you don't take yourself seriously at all. Get up! Since you've followed me, from now on you are mine, no need for formalities."

"Thank you for your recognition, Your Highness."

Shangguan Huan was very excited. After finding out, Feng Lingxi realized that Shangguan Huan was an orphan who grew up in the Jianghu (martial arts world) since he was a child. When he was young, he saved a master from the outside world. By chance, he was taught all his life's skills and, coupled with his extraordinary talent, his martial arts skills were so amazing.

After wandering the rivers and lakes, he became famous in a single battle, but disappeared one night without a trace. The reason was because of this Qiu'er. Because Qiu'er didn't want to live a life on the edge of a sword, he abandoned his sword and followed her into hiding, wanting to live an ordinary person's life. Unexpectedly, Qiu'er's enemies came looking for them. After a fierce battle, Qiu'er was ambushed and poisoned.

That's why Shangguan Huan would become a killer in the martial arts world to save Qiuer, taking on high-paying jobs and searching for a divine doctor to cure the poison. After all, a divine doctor's services come at a high price.

Feng Lingxi was an unexpected surprise. She didn't ask for money, yet she had the ability to cure Qiuer. Shangguan Huan, therefore, was so excited and willing to follow her.

"Tomorrow, you will go with me to see my husband and tell him that we should stay for one more day so that we can take Qiu’er out and make arrangements. We can treat her on the way."

"Can Qiu'er's body handle the rigors of travel"

Shangguan Huan's constant worry was always Qiu'er's health.

"No problem."

"Alright, I'll do as you say, just as long as Qiu’er can be cured. Anything is possible."

Feng Lingxi smiled, this Shangguan Huan wasn't a bad person. He didn't say what his famous name was, but being able to injure Ye Xi like this, he must be a top-tier figure in the martial world.

Feng Lingxi thought this way, she felt like they had made a huge profit on this trip.

Dugu Su probably never imagined that by hiring someone to kill her, he'd inadvertently sent her the most elite warrior.

It is true that a skilled practitioner has many advantages. Feng Lingxi only now realized that her medical skills were so precious in front of those in need, and it allowed her to rediscover the original intention she had when she became a doctor.

The next day, when Dugu City saw Feng Lingxi return, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

If he hadn't received her handwritten letter yesterday, reassuring him not to worry and not to look for her, he really would have searched the entire city.

"Xi'er, are you alright"

Facing Du Gu Cheng's worried eyes, Feng Ling Xi shook her head. "It's nothing, I even brought someone back for you."

"Shangguan Huan has seen the Fourth Prince. This time, I am willing to accept punishment."

After Shangguan Huan finished speaking, he stood by and waited for punishment.

Feng Lingxi pulled Dugu City aside, "He is mine now. I'll tell you the details later."

Dugu Cheng glanced at Shangguan Huan, “Since Xi'er brought you back, I presume the issues have been resolved, and I shall not pursue them further.”

"Thank you, Four Lords."

Ye Xi looked at Shangguan Huan, "Your Highness, to be honest, the reason I'm alive today is because he showed mercy."

Feng Lingxi then told Duguxing all the ins and outs of what happened to Shangguan Huan in detail. After listening, Duguxing and Feng Lingxi were just as surprised at first as they had been when they first heard it. They never expected it to be Dugusu's doing.

"It seems Dugu Su has never stopped causing us trouble."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "You still pass a message, let them be more careful. We are going to the Ghost Saint Country now, it will take some time. Let them be more prepared for Dugu Su."

"Du Gu Su wants to kill you, he probably wants Your Highness to rebel. The court is now under his control. If we make any move, we'll be accused of treason. Just focus on taking care of Wan'er's affairs and don't worry about him."

Wind Ling nodded slightly, now it seems this is the only way.

"I hope that Yu Mo and the others can hold on."

Don't underestimate them.

Dugu Cheng comforted and looked at Shangguan Huan, "Since you'll be following Xi'er from now on, just come with us. As long as you are loyal, we won't mistreat you."

"Thank you, Fourth Lord and Fourth Lady. Shangguan Huan is willing to follow the Lord and Lady, with absolute loyalty."

Dugu Cheng nodded, though he felt sympathy for him, what he did to Ye Xi was true. If it wasn't because Xi'er took him in, he wouldn't have forgiven him so easily.

"Go fetch Qiu'er and have her rest for a bit. Then we shall depart."

"Xier, shall we stay longer" This delay of three days has caused our separation from Luoli to grow even wider.

"Qiuer's body is nearly recovered, and so is Ye Xi. He needs to rest his wounds."

Ye Xi was just about to speak when Dugu City agreed.

"It was just me being impatient. I'll rest for a day and leave tomorrow."

Feng Lingxi asked Shangguan Huan to bring Qiuer along, while she herself refined some medicinal herbs for convenience during their journey.

>est, it will be impossible to conceive within three months. I'm afraid I've disappointed Empress Dowager's good intentions." After finishing speaking, she sighed with regret, and that lost look made E...
