Su Yuchen was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Sister Shuyin, to be honest, I did buy those Thousand Epiphyllums. But I didn't do it to hoard them or to embarrass you on purpose, but because I needed to use them to refine a special medicine."

Hearing this, Chen Shuyin's heart sank. But she did not give up, and continued to ask: "Sister Yuchen, can you give me some of the Thousand Epiphyllums? I am willing to pay a high price for them."

Su Yuchen looked at Chen Shuyin's determined eyes and sincere attitude, and her heart was shaken. She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can give you some of the Thousand Epiphyllums. But you have to agree to one condition."

"What conditions?" Chen Shuyin asked anxiously.

"You must help me find a medicinal herb called 'Nine-turn Soul-Returning Grass' within a month." Su Yuchen said slowly: "This medicinal herb is crucial for me to refine pills, but I have not been able to find it."

Chen Shuyin agreed without hesitation: "No problem! I will do my best to find the Nine-turn Soul-Restoring Grass in exchange for the Thousand Epiphyllums."

Just like that, after a brief communication and negotiation, Chen Shuyin successfully reached a deal with Su Yuchen.

Chen Shuyin returned home excitedly, her face filled with joy and anticipation. However, when she told Gu Qingchen the news, his reaction was beyond her expectations.

Gu Qingchen's expression instantly became solemn. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Is Su Yuchen looking for the Nine-transformation Resurrection Grass?"

"Yes." Chen Shuyin nodded and looked at Gu Qingchen in confusion: "Any questions?"

Gu Qingchen frowned, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "The Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass grows in Jiuyou Mountain, where a group of savages who eat raw meat and drink blood live all year round. It is said that those who have entered have never come out."

Hearing this, the smile on Chen Shuyin's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of astonishment and uneasiness: "Are you saying... Su Yuchen is deliberately making things difficult for me?"

"She wants you to die!" Gu Qingchen said with a hint of anger: "You can't go. We won't do this deal."

Chen Shuyin was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Qingchen to have such a big reaction. She understood his worries, but she couldn't give up. Because in her heart, Gu Qingchen's life was more important than anything else.

"No." Chen Shuyin refused flatly, "No matter how dangerous it is, I have to go. This is to save your life, I have to do it."

Gu Qingchen looked at Chen Shuyin's determined eyes and was moved. But he was more worried about her safety: "Shuyin, listen to me, I would rather die than let you take risks."

"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Shuyin gently covered Gu Qingchen's mouth, "You are my husband, how can I just watch you suffer? I will definitely find the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass and cure your illness."

Gu Qingchen held Chen Shuyin's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude and guilt: "Shuyin, you are so good to me. But I really don't want you to take risks..."

"Stop talking." Chen Shuyin interrupted him: "I have made up my mind. Don't worry, I will be careful."

Seeing Chen Shuyin's resolute attitude, Gu Qingchen knew that it was useless to persuade her. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Okay, go ahead. But I must go with you."

Chen Shuyin nodded, a firm light flashed in her eyes: "Okay."

However, Gu Qingchen was still worried. He knew that the dangers of Jiuyou Mountain were not only those wild men, but also the unknown natural environment and various difficulties that might be encountered. He didn't want Chen Shuyin to take risks, but he also understood that he couldn't stop her.

At this moment, Chen Shuyin suddenly reached out and gently hit Gu Qingchen on the back of the neck. Gu Qingchen suddenly felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.

Chen Shuyin looked at Gu Qingchen lying on the ground, her heart filled with guilt and reluctance. But she knew that this was the only way to make him stop worrying about her. She leaned over and gently kissed his forehead: "Qingchen, I'm sorry. But I have to do this."

On the morning when Chen Shuyin was about to set off for Jiuyou Mountain, the sun shone through the veil-like mist, casting a golden glow over the entire Chen family compound. She was dressed in tight clothes, with a short sword hanging from her waist, looking heroic.

However, when she reached the gate, a figure suddenly flashed out from the side and blocked her way. It was her second brother, Chen Qiyu. He was tall, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was frowning at the moment, staring at her closely, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

Chen Shuyin's steps came to an abrupt halt. She looked into her second brother's deep eyes and suddenly became speechless. "Second brother, what...what are you doing?"

Chen Qiyu did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Are you planning to go to Jiuyou Mountain to look for the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass?" His voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable firmness.

Chen Shuyin was surprised. She had not told anyone about this matter. How did her second brother know about it? But she did not have time to delve into this question. She just asked in surprise: "Second brother, how did you know?"

Chen Qiyu looked at her with dissatisfaction, "How could you hide such a dangerous thing from me?" There was some blame in his tone, but more of it was concern and worry.

Chen Shuyin lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, "Second brother, I'm sorry, I..."

"No need to say sorry," Chen Qiyu interrupted her, "I'm your second brother. No matter what you do, I will support you. But," his tone suddenly became serious, "Jiuyou Mountain is full of dangers. How can I feel at ease if you go alone?"

Chen Shuyin raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination, "Second brother, I must go. The Nine-turn Resurrection Grass is very important to me, I must find it."

Chen Qiyu looked at her determined eyes and couldn't help feeling a little touched. He knew that this sister who had followed him since childhood had grown up and had her own pursuits and persistence. However, as a brother, how could he watch her take risks?

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll go with you." Chen Qiyu's tone suddenly became gentle. He reached out and gently rubbed Chen Shuyin's hair. "You're my sister. I'll go with you no matter how dangerous it is."

Chen Shuyin's eyes suddenly became moist, and she held her second brother's hand tightly, "Second brother, thank you."

When Chen Qiyu and Chen Shuyin walked out of the city gate and headed towards Jiuyou Mountain, a familiar figure suddenly caught their eyes. The man was tall and slender with a handsome face. It was Zhou Jianghe who was saved by Chen Qiyu before.
