Li Qiuyue has been uneasy in the team. Since she found out that Sun Ying was missing, she felt like she had lost her soul.

After a long time, she adjusted her mood and looked up inadvertently, but was surprised to find that Sun Ying appeared in the team again.

She rubbed her eyes hard, wondering if she was hallucinating.

After repeated confirmation, it was confirmed that it was Sun Ying. She was still carrying Sun Shaojie on her back, and the number of officers was indeed one less.

Li Qiuyue was confused and conflicted.

She thought that maybe Sun Ying accidentally fell behind when the team was turning a corner, and now she has caught up again!

After comforting herself in this way, she felt a little better, but her eyes still drifted towards Sun Ying from time to time, and she always felt that something was wrong.

Lin Yu hid his figure in the woods in the distance, holding the jade pendant tightly, and was in a fierce struggle in his heart.

He knew very well that this jade pendant had extraordinary significance and value to the prince, but at this moment the prince was deeply in love with Miss Murong and could not extricate himself.

If the prince were told about Sun Ying's situation at this time, there would be no doubt that a huge storm would suddenly arise between Chu Lingfeng and Miss Murong.

On the one hand, the prince's fiancée Sun Ying, whom he has never met, is in dire straits, and on the other hand, there is Miss Murong who has saved his life many times.

Faced with such a dilemma, he really didn't know what choice to make!

As the team slowly advanced forward, Sun Ying's situation became increasingly worse and miserable. Her originally pretty face had long lost its former luster and looked extremely haggard. There was no longer a lively light in her beautiful eyes, but instead there was only deep fatigue and an unconcealable look of fear.

When Lin Yu witnessed this heartbreaking scene, the sense of responsibility as a secret guard in his heart began to slowly take over.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "As my master's loyal guard, my mission is to serve him wholeheartedly. I should never be disturbed or influenced by any personal emotions."

The team finally stopped and everyone sat down to rest.

Lin Yu took this opportunity to quietly come to Chu Lingfeng and handed the jade pendant over.

Chu Lingfeng was originally resting with his eyes closed when he felt something extra in his hand. He opened his eyes and thought that Murong Ling'er had a change of heart and returned the jade pendant that she had stolen from him.

But when he took it in his hand and rubbed it carefully, he immediately realized that it was the other half of the Phoenix Jade Pendant.

"Where did you get this? Did you find the person?" Chu Lingfeng stood up suddenly and asked in shock.

Lin Yu did not dare to hide anything and told Chu Lingfeng the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Chu Lingfeng stood there in a daze. The expression on his face was shocked at first, and then turned into complicated contemplation. He looked at the jade pendant in his hand for a long time without saying a word, with waves in his heart. He didn't know what kind of changes this unexpected reunion would bring to his destiny.

"I never thought that my fiancée whom I have never met is actually her!" Chu Lingfeng's heart was in turmoil. He never expected that the key person he had been looking for for many years was right in front of him, and he was almost subjected to such humiliation.

Thinking of the evil deeds of the official, he could not help but feel furious. "That damned beast deserves death!"

However, Chu Lingfeng was cautious after all, and would not be certain that Sun Ying was the real owner of the jade pendant based on Lin Yu's words alone.

His eyes were deep, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered Lin Yu: "You will immediately set off for Leizhou City and find Sun Ying's wet nurse. She is very likely to know the truth. You must find out the truth. Once you have a definite conclusion, I will make a decision."

Lin Yu was about to answer, but he looked hesitant.

"Sir, the road is rough right now. I'd better wait for Xiaowu to arrive before I leave."

Chu Lingfeng frowned slightly, then nodded after weighing the pros and cons. "Alright! For the next few days, you'll stay by Sun Ying and her brother's side. Don't let anything happen to them. The situation is unclear right now, with various forces secretly watching. The slightest mistake could lead to a complete loss."

There was a hint of worry in his eyes. The appearance of Sun Ying might be a turning point in his fate, but it might also be a trap harbouring danger.

"Yes, Prince." Lin Yu accepted the order and disappeared from the spot in an instant like lightning.

After resting, the team set out again, but Sun Ying's heart could not calm down for a long time. She thought that since an official had died, Yu Ruiwu would definitely hold him accountable severely, but time passed by minute by minute, and he still did not get the chance.

While she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was filled with doubts.

"Why doesn't he pursue the matter? Is there some hidden story?" Sun Ying secretly observed the movements around her. She saw that Yuan Zhiqiang had a gloomy expression, but seemed to be deliberately hiding something. He would whisper a few words with his close associates from time to time.

At the same time, Lin Yu stared at Sun Ying closely in the dark. His task was not only to protect, but also to observe. He found that although Sun Ying was exhausted, a hint of stubbornness and intelligence occasionally flashed in her eyes, which made him more curious and confused about this woman.

Sun Shaojie, who was on his sister's back, also sensed the strange atmosphere. He hugged his sister's neck tightly and asked in a low voice, "Sister, did something happen?"

Sun Ying comforted him softly: "Shaojie, don't be afraid, I'm here." But she herself had no confidence.

As the team moved forward, the road became more and more rugged and the weather gradually became gloomy, as if a bigger storm was about to come, hanging over everyone's heart.

When Yuan Zhiqiang heard that one of his officers had died inexplicably, he was immediately furious, clenched his cheeks tightly, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"This is outrageous! My men were killed in my escort team. If I let it go like this, how can I maintain my authority in front of my brothers in the future?"

He originally wanted to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter in a high-profile manner, and to bring Sun Ying's siblings under his scrutiny and punish them severely to serve as a warning to others.

However, just as he was about to take action, a mysterious man in black appeared in his tent like a night shadow.

The man in black was wrapped in a black robe, revealing only a pair of eyes as cold as knives. His voice seemed to come from the Netherworld: "Yuan Zhiqiang, if you dare to touch Sun Ying and her brother, I will make you disappear silently during this exile. Not even a bone will be left."

After saying that, the man in black waved his hand lightly, a cold light flashed, and Yuan Zhiqiang's sword was instantly broken into two pieces. The cut was flat and smooth, as if it was cut by the sharpest divine weapon.

Yuan Zhiqiang widened his eyes in horror, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He knew very well that this man was not making empty threats. In this desolate wilderness, his life was like a candle in the wind, and it would be easy for the other party to take it.

Helplessly, he had to swallow his anger. Although he felt extremely aggrieved, he didn't dare to show it at all.
