Why was he so weak? Why couldn't he even protect the one he loved? His heart was filled with self-blame and pain, as if he was being pricked by countless needles.

At this moment, Cao Mo looked at the abyss indifferently, as if everything was under his control. This tragic battle ended with Su Yuchen's fall. The night returned to calm again, but the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood and sadness...

Under the abyss, there is an unknown darkness. Su Yuchen felt as if she was falling, falling... The wind around her whistled past, as if it was going to swallow her up. Her heart was filled with fear and unwillingness, but more of it was worry and concern for Su Xingchen.

She didn't know if she would ever see him again...

Just when she was about to despair, a soft light suddenly appeared in her sight. That was... the light of the system!

She was delighted and immediately struggled to swim towards the light. As she got closer, she found that it was a portal!

Su Yuchen passed through the portal without hesitation and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in a safe place. Although her body was still in unbearable pain, her heart was full of hope and joy. Because she knew that she was still alive and had a chance to meet Su Xingchen again!

In the quiet mountains, Su Yuchen lay quietly on a green grass. Her face was pale and her breath was weak.

Beside her, there were some herbs and bandages scattered around, which were obviously the traces left by her self-healing.

There was a determination gleam in her eyes. Although she was seriously injured, she never gave up her desire to live.

At this moment, a noisy sound of footsteps broke the tranquility of the forest. A group of bandits came over with weapons in hand, looking ferocious.

Their eyes swept over Su Yuchen, and when they saw Su Yuchen's beautiful face, greedy light suddenly appeared in their eyes.

"Haha, God really helps me. I didn't expect to meet such a beauty in this deep forest!" The bandit leader grinned and waved his hand to signal his men to come forward.

The seriously injured Su Yuchen was unable to resist and could only watch the bandits approaching.

Her heart was filled with despair. Was she really going to fall into the hands of these evil people?

However, at this critical moment, a sword light suddenly fell from the sky, like a flash of lightning across the sky.

A handsome young man holding a long sword appeared in front of everyone with graceful movements. He was dressed in white clothes, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked very heroic.

"How dare you! How dare you do such an evil thing in broad daylight!" The young man shouted angrily, and the long sword in his hand was already unsheathed, pointing directly at the bandit leader.

The bandit leader was frightened by the shout, but then he shouted angrily: "Where did you come from, you kid? How dare you ruin our business! Brothers, attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of bandits rushed forward with weapons in hand. However, their attacks were like child's play in front of the young man, and were easily resolved one by one.

The young man's figure was erratic and his swordsmanship was extremely sharp. Every time he swung his sword, the bandits screamed and fell to the ground.

After a while, all the bandits were knocked to the ground by the young man, wailing continuously.

The young man didn't even look at them, but just glanced coldly at the bandit leader, then walked to Su Yuchen and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"

When Su Yuchen saw the young man defeat the bandits so easily, the despair in his heart instantly disappeared.

She sat up with difficulty and nodded to the young man: "Thank you for saving my life."

"You are too polite, young lady. It is the chivalrous way to help others when seeing injustice." The young man smiled slightly and introduced himself, "My name is Chu Xuanhao, what is your name, young lady?"

"Su Yuchen." Su Yuchen also smiled politely, "I am very grateful to Master Chu for saving me today."

Chu Xuanhao waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry about it, then looked at Su Yuchen's pale face and asked, "Miss Su seems to be seriously injured, do you need my help?"

Su Yuchen shook his head gently: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chu. I have already taken the healing medicine and just need to rest for a while."

Chu Xuanhao nodded and stopped insisting. He glanced at the bandits lying on the ground, frowned and said, "Although these bandits have been defeated, there is no guarantee that they will not come back for revenge. It may be dangerous for Miss Su to heal here alone, so why don't I escort her back to the city?"

Su Yuchen felt warm at heart when she heard this. She didn't want to trouble Chu Xuanhao, but thinking of her own injuries and the bandits' revenge, she finally nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Chu."

So, Chu Xuanhao carried Su Yuchen on his back, holding a long sword, and set out on the journey back to the city.

The two walked along the way. Although the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, Chu Xuanhao walked steadily and did not show any signs of fatigue. Su Yuchen leaned on Chu Xuanhao's back, feeling his warm and solid back, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in his heart.

On the way, the two talked to each other about their experiences and observations.

Chu Xuanhao is a knight who travels all over the world, has broad knowledge and humorous conversation.

However, Su Yuchen concealed her identity as a prisoner in the Northern Prison and stated that she was the daughter of Prince Chen Tanyan.

The communication between the two people gradually deepened, and the distance between them became much closer.

Finally, at dusk, the two arrived at the city gate.

Chu Xuanhao gently put Su Yuchen down and said with a smile: "Miss Su, we are here."

Su Yuchen looked at the city gate in front of her, her heart filled with gratitude. She bowed deeply to Chu Xuanhao: "Mr. Chu, you are so kind, Yuchen will remember it in her heart. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Chu Xuanhao waved his hands and said with a smile: "Miss Su, you are too kind. It is the chivalrous way to help others when seeing injustice. Why should I thank you?"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. However, Su Yuchen suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Mr. Chu, please stay."

Chu Xuanhao turned around and looked at her in confusion: "Miss Su, what else do you want?"

Su Yuchen hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Chu, can you escort Yuchen back to the palace? I'm afraid those bandits will follow us..."

Chu Xuanhao frowned when he heard this. He was indeed worried that the bandits would come back for revenge. He thought for a moment and nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll take you back to the palace."

The reason why Su Yuchen asked Chu Xuanhao to escort him back to the palace was mainly because he thought that with someone familiar by his side, he would not be too scared in an unfamiliar environment.

The reason why she chose to return to the palace was that after experiencing life and death, she finally realized that it was time to carry out her revenge plan.

If I continue to indulge in this, then if one day I die, I will not be able to avenge my mother's blood, and that would be too much of a loss.
