This gradually became apparent during the confrontation between the two. Chu Xuanhao not only had superb swordsmanship, but also had rich practical experience. He was able to accurately capture Chen Qiyu's flaws and skillfully launch attacks.

Chu Xuanhao keenly sensed Chen Qiyu's weakness, and decided to use his strongest sword move to quickly end the battle. He took a deep breath, gathered all his internal strength, and instantly swung out countless sword shadows. These sword shadows overlapped and rushed towards Chen Qiyu like surging waves.

Chen Qiyu was shocked when he saw this. But he did not retreat, instead he held the sword tightly and swung it with all his strength to resist. However, Chu Xuanhao's sword move was too powerful, and the sword energy instantly tore Chen Qiyu's sleeves, and the whole person was also knocked out by this powerful sword energy and fell heavily to the ground.

The audience exclaimed in amazement, and the referee was ready to declare Chen Qiyu a failure. However, at this moment, Chen Qiyu stood up with strong willpower. His face was pale, but his eyes were firm. He knew that he could not give up so easily.

Chen Qiyu staggered to his feet and tried to continue fighting. However, his body had been severely damaged and could no longer support him in a high-intensity fight. After a few seconds of stalemate, he fell heavily to the ground again.

Despite this, Chen Qiyu's courage won applause from the audience, who cheered for the young swordsman's tenacity and perseverance and were moved by his indomitable spirit.

At this time, Chu Xuanhao also put away his sword, walked to Chen Qiyu, and stretched out his hand to help him up. With admiration in his eyes, he said to Chen Qiyu: "You are a worthy opponent. I admire your courage and perseverance. I hope you can recover soon and we will fight again next time."

Chen Qiyu looked at Chu Xuanhao gratefully and nodded. Although he lost, he lost gloriously and worthily. He knew that this competition made him grow a lot and made him more determined in his beliefs and goals.

Chen Qiyu slowly walked down the stage amid the applause of the crowd. Although his back looked a little lonely, it was full of determination and hope. He believed that in the days to come, he would become stronger and realize his dream.

After the match, Xu Min rushed to the ring immediately. She hugged Chen Qiyu tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that Chen Qiyu had tried his best and his performance was good enough. She was proud of him and admired his courage and perseverance.

"Qi Yu, you are awesome!" Xu Min said excitedly, "Your performance is good enough. I believe that you will become even stronger in the days to come."

Chen Qiyu smiled slightly and patted Chen Shuyin on the back gently. He knew that although he failed in this game, he gained more.

The Twelve Riders' semi-finals finally came to an end. After the fierce competition, the field was left with only a silence after the hustle and bustle.

The audience was still immersed in the thrilling duel, with discussions rising one after another, but Gu Qingchen seemed not to hear the noise around him. There was only one person in his eyes - Chen Shuyin.

Gu Qingchen stood there quietly, his eyes passing through the crowd, locking onto Chen Shuyin who was slowly leaving. His deep eyes flashed with determination and resoluteness, as if he had already made an important decision. He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and then began to walk through the bustling crowd towards Chen Shuyin.

His pace was neither fast nor slow, and each step was firm and powerful. The hustle and bustle and cheers around him seemed to have nothing to do with him. In his world, there was only the woman who was about to walk towards him. His heartbeat gradually accelerated, echoing the rhythm of each step he took, as if he was playing a passionate piece of music.

Chen Shuyin was immersed in the afterglow of the game, slowly recalling the wonderful moments just now. Suddenly, she felt someone walking towards her. She looked up and met Gu Qingchen's deep and determined eyes. Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and she didn't know how to respond to this sudden encounter.

Gu Qingchen walked up to Chen Shuyin, stopped, looked at her deeply, and then slowly said: "Shuyin, I have something to say to you."

His voice was deep and magnetic, and every word he said seemed to be spoken after careful consideration.

Chen Shuyin looked at his serious expression, feeling a little nervous, but more excited. She nodded gently, signaling him to continue.

Gu Qingchen took a deep breath, stared into Chen Shuyin's eyes, and said word by word: "Shuyin, I like you. Although I am just a hostage now, with a humble status, please believe me, as long as you give me time, I will definitely let you live a happy life."

Although his voice was not loud, it was full of strength and determination. Every word seemed to be engraved in Chen Shuyin's heart, making it impossible for her to ignore his deep affection and commitment.

Chen Shuyin looked at his determined eyes and serious expression, and the tension in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a warm current. She could feel his sincerity and determination, and could also see his deep affection for her.

However, she was still a little hesitant and worried. After all, the gap between their status was too big.

[Didn't your sister ask you to marry the girl of destiny, Su Yuchen? ] Chen Shuyin asked in her heart, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in her voice. She was not sure whether Gu Qingchen would give up the rumored girl of destiny for her.

Gu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Chen Shuyin to know about this. He frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Shuyin, that was the family's arrangement, not my wish. I have no feelings for Su Yuchen, and I only have you in my heart."

When he said this, his eyes flashed with a firm and fiery light, as if there was an invisible force supporting him. His voice was full of sincerity and determination, so that Chen Shuyin could not doubt his sincerity.

Chen Shuyin looked at his serious expression and determined eyes, and the defenses in her heart were gradually broken. She could feel his love and determination, and was willing to believe his promise. A smile gradually appeared on her face, which was the joy and happiness from the heart. She knew that she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

[Are you really willing to be with me? Even if there will be countless difficulties and challenges in the future? ] Chen Shuyin's voice trembled a little. She raised her head and looked into Gu Qingchen's eyes, wanting to confirm his sincerity.

She knew that once she chose this path, she would have to face countless difficulties and challenges. But she still wanted to confirm whether Gu Qingchen was really willing to go on with her.
