She was worried that in the face of death, some people would betray them in order to save their own lives. She was worried that if they went to find familiar people in the city, those people would take advantage of the situation and hand them over after seeing the disaster that the Feng family had suffered. Therefore, she told him to find Feng Jiu and Feng Xiao, and that she could only trust them two.
She couldn't afford to be mean and guard against others, but this was her child, her and Sanyuan's child, and she didn't dare to take any risks.
"Aren't you going with us?" Zhao Yang looked at her and asked, with confusion on his face. Why didn't she leave with them? Wouldn't it be better with her around
Su Xi shook her head and said, "I can't leave. There are only three members of the Feng family in the palace: Sanyuan, Ye'er, and I. Since those people are coming for us, they will definitely find us and kill us. If I leave with you, even if they kill Sanyuan, they will not let it go. They will definitely search the palace from top to bottom. By then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Ye'er to survive."
She caressed her son's pale face lovingly. The little guy had gone through such a great change tonight. Those corpses and blood must have frightened him, but he kept holding back his emotion, which made her feel distressed.
"Those people are too strong. Only if I go out can I divert their attention and give you a better chance of survival."
She suppressed her reluctance and handed the child to Zhao Yang: "Yangyang, although you are only seven or eight years old, you are older than Ye'er. You have lived and grown up together, and you are as close as brothers. Now I have no choice. I have no one else to entrust Ye'er to. Please protect him. As long as we can get through this period, those people will leave, and Fengjiu and the others will come back, everything will be fine."
Listening to those words, Zhao Yang nodded as if he understood: "Okay, I'll take the master away and will definitely find the princess and the king." He bent down and carried the unconscious Xiao Fengye on his back.
He looked at her, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing and carried Xiao Fengye along the secret passage...
Watching them leave, Su Xi withdrew her gaze, bandaged the wound on her arm again, then walked out and destroyed the mechanism leading to the tunnel so that no one outside could come in again.
Taking advantage of the night, she quietly slipped from one side of the tunnel to the other, trying to stay away from the direction of the tunnel, until she reached a rockery. Seeing Feng Sanyuan, who was covered in wounds and being chased by many powerful immortal cultivators, her heart ached, especially when one of the immortal cultivators stabbed him in the back with a sword, she could not help but scream out in surprise.
"Husband!"
She shouted in a trembling voice and flew towards that direction. From a distance, she could see that the sword was blocked somehow. Looking closely, she found that it was Yangyang's relatives, those ghost cultivators who were protecting him.
"Go!" Zhao Yang's grandfather shouted in a low voice, blocking the sword of the powerful Flying Immortal while asking his son and daughter-in-law to protect Feng Sanyuan and leave quickly.
Feng Sanyuan gritted his teeth and could only cover his wound and continue to flee. However, when he heard the voice of "husband", his heart was shocked. He looked towards the voice and asked in a trembling voice: "Su Xi? Why are you here!"
Shouldn't she have left? Shouldn't she have left with their child? Why is she still here? She is here, but what about their child? Is the child okay
