After the whole family went crazy and criticized the movie "Read My Mind", the heroine

"You're back." Her voice was calm and gentle, as if she had already expected Chen Shuyin's arrival.

Chen Shuyin didn't waste any words and took out a delicate little box from her arms. After opening it, a faintly fluorescent Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass lay quietly inside. She gently placed it on the table, looked directly at Su Yuchen, and said, "I got what you wanted. Now, can you give me the Thousand Epiphyllum Flower?"

Su Yuchen walked slowly to the table, glanced at the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass, and a gleam of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

However, her next move surprised Chen Shuyin. Su Yuchen casually threw the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass into the trash can next to her.

Chen Qiyu had been observing silently from the side, but he couldn't help but explode at this moment. He rushed forward and yelled at Su Yuchen, "What are you doing? My sister and I found the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass with great difficulty!"

His eyes were filled with anger and confusion.

However, facing Chen Qiyu's questioning, Su Yuchen seemed unusually calm.

She glanced at Chen Qiyu calmly, a faint smile on her lips, and said, "Since you are exchanging something for the Thousand-Eye Flower, then what I do with the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass is my own business."

Chen Qiyu became even angrier after hearing this. He clenched his fists, as if ready to hit this seemingly gentle but rude woman at any time.

But at this moment, Chen Shuyin reached out and stopped him.

"Brother, forget it." Chen Shuyin's voice was calm and rational: "Since we have already got what she wanted, there is no reason for us to argue anymore."

Su Yuchen looked at Chen Shuyin with appreciation, then slowly took out a snow-white Epiphyllum with a faint fragrance from another exquisite box.

She handed it to Chen Shuyin and said, "This is the Thousand Epiphyllums you wanted. Take it."

Chen Shuyin took the Thousand Epiphyllums and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to absorb all the fragrance of the flower into her lungs. She knew that this flower meant a lot to her, not only for saving Gu Qingchen, but also for affirming her own abilities.

Although Chen Qiyu was still angry at the moment, he knew that this was not the time to lose his temper when he looked at the thousand-flowered lily in his sister's hand. He looked at Su Yuchen deeply, then pulled his sister away from this unpleasant place.

As the two of them walked home, Chen Qiyu was still indignant and said, "That Su Yuchen is really too much. He actually treated the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Grass that we worked so hard to find like that."

Chen Shuyin just smiled faintly and said, "Brother, forget it. We have achieved the purpose of this trip, right?"

After bidding farewell to Zhou Jianghe, Chen Shuyin and Chen Qiyu returned to their home along the familiar road. However, when they arrived at the gate, they unexpectedly found a majestic guard team standing on both sides of the gate, wearing bright armor and with sharp eyes, which was intimidating.

Chen Qiyu couldn't help but frown slightly, looking at these uninvited guests in confusion. The housekeeper hurried out of the house with a trace of panic and uneasiness on his face. He said to Chen Qiyu breathlessly: "Master, the second prince is coming."

"Zhou Xiangbei?" Chen Qiyu asked in surprise, "What is he doing here?"

"I'm afraid it's time to settle the score." Chen Shuyin analyzed calmly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Chen Qiyu shook his head helplessly, but still straightened his clothes and walked into the mansion with his sister. They walked through the courtyard and came to the reception room, where they saw Zhou Xiangbei chatting and laughing with their mother Ye Guyan, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Seeing Chen Qiyu coming in, Zhou Xiangbei immediately stood up and greeted him with a forced smile.

"Brother Chen, I've been looking forward to seeing you back for a long time." He held Chen Qiyu's hand warmly, as if there had never been any barriers between them.

However, Chen Qiyu was not fooled by his enthusiasm. He calmly withdrew his hand and asked calmly, "What brings you to my humble abode, Your Highness?"

Zhou Xiangbei snapped his fingers, and the eunuch next to him immediately stepped forward and unfolded a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, decrees: Chen Qiyu is appointed as Zhou Xiangbei's teacher, to teach him martial arts and wisdom. I decree this!"

The whole audience was in an uproar, and no one could believe their ears. Chen Qiyu was even more stunned. He had never expected Zhou Xiangbei to make such a request. This was clearly a trap!

"Second Prince, what do you mean?" Chen Qiyu tried to remain calm, but there was still a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Why should I be your master?"

"Brother Chen, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer?" Zhou Xiangbei smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. "You and I both know that my father has always placed high hopes on me. And now the court is so unpredictable, how can I gain a foothold if I don't have some real skills? So after thinking it over, I feel that Brother Chen is the most suitable person to be my master."

"But..." Chen Qiyu wanted to argue something but was interrupted by Zhou Xiangbei.

"Brother Chen, there is no need to say more," Zhou Xiangbei waved his hand and said, "I know what you are thinking, but it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order! Do you want to disobey the order?"

Chen Qiyu was speechless when he heard this. He really couldn't disobey the order, but he didn't want to be led by Zhou Xiangbei. So he was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Since the Second Prince thinks so highly of me, I will respectfully obey your order."

Although he agreed to Zhou Xiangbei's request, Chen Qiyu was full of helplessness and unwillingness. He knew that he had been involved in a complicated political struggle and the outcome of this struggle would directly affect the fate of him and his family. Therefore, he had to deal with every step carefully without any mistakes.

After seeing Zhou Xiangbei off, Ye Guyan sighed helplessly. She stood at the gate of the mansion, watching Zhou Xiangbei's motorcade go farther and farther away, her heart filled with worry.

"It seems that Zhou Xiangbei wants to control us under the pretext of becoming his disciple." Ye Guyan slowly turned around and said to Chen Shuyin and Chen Qiyu behind him, with a hint of powerlessness in his tone.

Chen Shuyin seemed unusually calm. She frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Mother, the biggest enemy we should be wary of now is not Zhou Xiangbei, but Su Yuchen."

Ye Guyan and Chen Qiyu were both a little surprised when they heard this. Chen Qiyu asked in confusion: "Shuyin, what do you mean? Isn't Zhou Xiangbei our biggest threat?"

Chen Shuyin shook her head, a sharp light flashing in her eyes: "Most of Zhou Xiangbei's methods are in the open. Although cunning, it is not difficult to deal with. But Su Yuchen is different. She has been observing in secret, waiting for an opportunity to act. And her methods are more insidious and vicious."
