A complicated look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Okay, I promise you. As long as you can win the championship, I will release your brother."

Hearing his father's promise, Chen Qiyu showed a firm smile on his face, "Thank you, father. I will definitely work hard."

"Good boy, go ahead!" Chen Tanyan patted Chen Qiyu on the shoulder, "Remember to win, don't let me down."

The three of them bowed to Chen Tanyan and left the study. They walked through the corridor of the Chen Mansion and walked out of the gate.

The sunlight shines on them, as if covering them with a golden halo.

Just as Ye Guyan and others were preparing to embark on their journey to the capital, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

The person who came was Su Yuchen. Her appearance made everyone nervous, especially Chen Qiyu, who almost instantly went into alert mode.

"Su Yuchen, what are you doing here?" There was obvious vigilance in Chen Qiyu's tone, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through Su Yuchen's heart.

Su Yuchen seemed unusually calm. Her eyes moved from everyone to the baby in Ye Guyan's arms.

That little life, Chen Shuyin, was lying quietly in the soft cradle, completely unaware of what was happening around her.

"I just want to see her and hug her." Su Yuchen's voice was soft but firm, and her eyes revealed an indescribable desire.

Chen Qiyu frowned. He did not trust Su Yuchen, especially at this critical moment.

They are about to embark on an unknown journey, and any negligence may bring unpredictable consequences.

However, just as he was about to refuse, a faint but firm voice rang in his mind: "Brother, let her hug me, it's okay."

Chen Qiyu was stunned. He looked at his sister in his arms, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, looked at Su Yuchen's eager eyes, and his guard relaxed a little.

"Okay, you can hug her, but please be careful." Ye Guyan said, slowly handing Chen Shuyin to Su Yuchen.

Su Yuchen took the child. Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

She looked down at Chen Shuyin, her eyes full of tenderness and kindness.

At that moment, she seemed no longer the dreaded leader of the North Prison, but just an ordinary sister.

Chen Shuyin lay quietly in Su Yuchen's arms.

Su Yuchen hugged Chen Shuyin as if he was hugging his past and hope.

She was once an orphan, longing for motherly love but never getting it.

Now, as she looked at the child in her arms, an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart.

She hopes that the child can have a happy childhood and no longer be as lonely and helpless as she is.

After a while, Su Yuchen gently returned Chen Shuyin to Chen Qiyu. Her eyes were full of reluctance, but also full of blessings.

"Thank you." Su Yuchen said, turned and left.

Her back looked somewhat lonely in the sunset, but also full of firmness and strength.

Chen Qiyu looked at Su Yuchen's receding back, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

He didn't know if he should trust her, but he knew that she had special feelings for her sister.

This kind of emotion may not be sisterly love, but it is definitely a deep care.

With Su Yuchen's departure, Ye Guyan and others also continued their journey to the capital.

After arriving in the capital, Ye Shinian warmly entertained her sister Ye Guyan, nephew Chen Qiyu and niece Chen Shuyin who came from afar.

The welcoming banquet ended with laughter and joy, but after the banquet, Ye Shinian suddenly issued a challenge to Chen Qiyu.

"Qi Yu, I know that your swordsmanship has improved in recent years. Today, why don't you let me see how good you are?" Ye Shinian said with a smile, his eyes revealing his expectations for the younger generation.

When Chen Qiyu heard this, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He knew that this was a test from his uncle, and also a test of his own strength. He stood up happily, drew out the long sword in his hand, bowed to Ye Shinian, and said, "Please give me some advice, uncle."

Ye Shinian nodded and drew his sword. The two swords collided, making a crisp metallic collision sound, as if the competition had begun.

Chen Qiyu took the lead in launching the attack. His figure was as fast as the wind, his sword flashing, and he went straight to the center of Ye Shinian.

Ye Shinian smiled slightly, dodged the sword by moving sideways, and at the same time swung the sword back at Chen Qiyu's ribs.

Chen Qiyu reacted quickly, doing a backflip and landing steadily, while swinging his sword to block Ye Shinian's attack.

The two men fought back and forth, swords flashing, and their figures moving like the wind, which was dazzling to watch.

Ye Guyan and Chen Shuyin watched nervously from the sidelines. They knew that this competition was of great significance to Chen Qiyu.

As time went by, Chen Qiyu gradually showed his strength and talent. His swordsmanship was sharp and swift, and each sword was aimed at Ye Shinian's vital points. However, Ye Shinian was a leader in the martial arts world after all, and his swordsmanship was more sophisticated and steady. Every attack just resolved Chen Qiyu's offensive.

The competition entered a white-hot stage, with the two figures moving quickly in the courtyard and swords flashing.

Chen Qiyu became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and his swordsmanship became more and more fierce, as if he wanted to pour all his strength into this competition.

However, Ye Shinian remained calm throughout. His sword skills were as continuous as a drizzle, making it impossible for Chen Qiyu to find any flaws.

Finally, after a fierce battle, Chen Qiyu revealed a tiny flaw. Ye Shinian seized the opportunity and pointed a sword directly at Chen Qiyu's chest. Chen Qiyu was unable to react in time and had to step back several steps to avoid this fatal attack.

"Okay, okay, that's enough." At the critical moment, Ye Guyan spoke up to stop the competition from continuing.

Although Chen Qiyu was somewhat unwilling, he also knew that he had already lost. He put away his sword, bowed deeply to Ye Shinian, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, uncle."

Ye Shinian nodded and smiled, "Your swordsmanship has improved a lot, but there is still room for improvement. Remember, the way of swordsmanship lies in the unity of mind and sword. Only by truly understanding the essence of the sword can you exert its greatest power."

Chen Qiyu responded respectfully: "It is my uncle's teaching that I will keep in mind."

After saying this, he bowed deeply again to express his respect and gratitude to Ye Shinian.

Ye Guyan and Chen Shuyin also applauded Chen Qiyu and congratulated him for the strength and talent he displayed in the competition, saying that it was an honor to lose.

That night, the moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard like water, and the three of them sat together drinking tea and discussing philosophy.

Ye Shinian taught Chen Qiyu a lot of sword skills and experience, which benefited him a lot.

Chen Qiyu also listened with an open mind and kept these valuable experiences in mind.

In the following days, Chen Qiyu practiced swordsmanship more diligently, always keeping in mind Ye Shinian's guidance and teachings. His swordsmanship became more and more sophisticated.
