The next morning, the sun shone through the window lattice into the house. Chen Shuyin had already gotten up early. She stood in front of the window with a firm gaze, as if she was thinking about some important decision. Then, she turned and walked out of the room, heading straight to the residence of her second brother Chen Qiyu.
When she arrived at Chen Qiyu's residence, he was leisurely practicing sword in the yard. Seeing his sister rushing over, he put away the sword in his hand and asked in confusion: "Shuyin, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"
Chen Shuyin looked at her second brother, took a deep breath, and then told Chen Qiyu in detail about Gu Qingchen's poisoning. Her tone was full of worry and eagerness, as if she was seeking help.
After hearing this, Chen Qiyu frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Shuyin, don't worry, I will help you find these herbs."
His voice was firm and powerful, as if telling his sister that he was not fighting alone.
When Chen Shuyin heard her second brother's words, a glimmer of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She knew that with her second brother's help, she would be able to find these herbs and save Gu Qingchen's life.
Chen Qiyu quickly packed up his equipment, put on the sword case containing his beloved sword, and prepared to go out of the city with Chen Shuyin to find medicine to treat Gu Qingchen. However, their plan encountered obstacles at the city gate.
Chu Xuanhao, the leader of the Twelve Riders, was known for his iron discipline and strict rules. At this moment, he was standing solemnly in front of the city gate, obviously not intending to let anyone go. He looked at Chen Qiyu, frowned, and said in a firm voice: "Qiyu, you are an important member of the Twelve Riders. Without my clear order, you cannot leave the city without permission."
After hearing this, Chen Qiyu's eyes flashed with determination. He looked directly at Chu Xuanhao, his momentum undiminished. "Xuanhao, you should know that I am not only a member of the Twelve Riders, but also Shuyin's second brother. Today, no matter who it is, no one can stop me from doing what I should do."
The atmosphere at the city gate suddenly became tense, and the two brave warriors were in a stalemate, as if an invisible contest was unfolding between them. Chen Shuyin stood beside Chen Qiyu, and although she did not speak, her firm eyes showed her position.
Chen Qiyu's attitude was firm, and his eyes revealed his deep love for his sister and his firm commitment to the mission. He seemed to be telling Chu Xuanhao with his eyes: no matter what the situation, he would stay by Chen Shuyin's side and help her complete this mission.
Chu Xuanhao had a serious face. As the leader of the twelve riders, he naturally had to put the overall situation first, but he also understood Chen Qiyu's feelings. He looked at Chen Qiyu's determined eyes and couldn't help but waver in his heart. He knew that Chen Qiyu was a man of affection and righteousness, and his decision was not an impulse, but the result of careful consideration.
The two men were in a stalemate at the city gate, and the atmosphere was tense and heavy. However, at this critical moment, the sound of horse hooves broke the silence.
Chen Shuyin didn't expect that at this critical moment, Su Yuchen would actually take the initiative to stand up and persuade her. She looked at Su Yuchen's cold figure, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion surged in her heart.
Su Yuchen walked up to Chu Xuanhao, his voice calm but with unquestionable strength: "Xuanhao, let them leave the city."
Chu Xuanhao was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Su Yuchen to intervene at this time. He frowned and looked at Su Yuchen, as if weighing the pros and cons. Even though he was reluctant in his heart, he finally decided to give Su Yuchen a face.
"Okay, since you said so, I'll let them go." Chu Xuanhao said, turning sideways and making way.
Chen Qiyu and Chen Shuyin smiled at each other, cast grateful glances at Su Yuchen, and then quickly walked out of the city gate.
Chu Xuanhao couldn't help but frown as he watched the two people leave. He turned to look at Su Yuchen and asked curiously, "Why did you help them? Don't you hate Chen Tanyan's family?"
Su Yuchen's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "I do hate Chen Tanyan, but this family has already left Chen Tanyan, so they are not the target of my revenge."
Although her voice was calm, it revealed deep helplessness and vicissitudes. It seemed that this sentence contained too many stories and pasts.
Chu Xuanhao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. He looked at Su Yuchen and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He knew that although Su Yuchen looked cold on the outside, he had his own principles and persistence in his heart.
Chen Shuyin and Chen Qiyu rode at full speed and finally arrived at their first stop, Qianhua Valley. This place, known as a sea of flowers, built a colorful expectation in their hearts. However, when they arrived, the scene in front of them shocked them.
The Thousand Flower Valley, which was supposed to be a sea of flowers and fragrant with fragrance, has now turned into a scorched earth. On the scorched earth, there are the remains of burned flowers and trees, and the air is filled with an indescribable anxiety and silence.
Chen Qiyu was stunned. He looked around, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. He turned to look at Chen Shuyin and asked doubtfully, "Sister, did you read the map wrong? How could this be Qianhua Valley?"
Chen Shuyin also seemed a little shocked. She frowned and carefully examined the map in her hand, then looked up at the surrounding environment. Her eyes shuttled back and forth between the map and the real scene, as if looking for some kind of correspondence.
"No, the map is correct." Chen Shuyin finally confirmed, "This is indeed Qianhua Valley. But why did it become like this..."
Before she finished her words, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the ruins and attacked them. Chen Qiyu reacted quickly, turned Chen Shuyin behind him, and stretched out his arm to block the sudden attack.
Looking closely, they found that the one attacking them was a child holding a spear. The child looked no more than ten years old, with a stubborn and angry face and an unyielding light in his eyes.
"You robbers! Die!" the child roared and tried to attack again.
But Chen Qiyu had already firmly grasped his spear, making him unable to move. He squatted down, looked at the child at eye level, and said in a calm tone: "We are not robbers. We are here to look for someone. Do you know where Hua Qianhua is?"
The child stared at them with wide eyes, seemingly a little unconvinced. But under Chen Qiyu's frank and firm gaze, he gradually let down his guard.
"Are you really not robbers?" the child asked hesitantly.
"Of course not." Chen Shuyin also came forward and gently stroked the child's head. "We are here to help. Can you tell us what happened here?"
The child looked at them, tears flashing in his eyes. He bit his lower lip and finally said, "Thousand Flower Valley was looted by bandits. They burned our house, killed our villagers, and stole our things. My sister was also captured by them."
