Su Yue couldn't help but ask, "Master Liu, why on earth are you helping us?" Liu Yixiao raised the corner of his mouth, gently shaking his folding fan and said, "I just think it's interesting."

Despite their doubts about Liu Yixiao's motives, they had no choice but to accompany him in this dangerous dispute. On the way to a possible hiding place of the treasure, they encountered a trap. Suddenly, many assassins swarmed around them, and arrows rained down.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Liu Yixiu led them to dodge left and right, found a secret passage, and successfully escaped.

However, just after escaping from danger, Liu Yixiao's expression suddenly changed, and he said to them coldly: "Don't think that I will always help you. I'm not that kind." After that, he turned and left.

Su Yue and others looked at his departing back, shook their heads helplessly, and continued on their journey.

They set out for the border to search for Shangguan Haomu and Shangguan Haochen, enduring hardships along the way.

One day, they arrived at the foot of a steep mountain. The peak towered into the clouds, and the path was rugged and difficult to navigate. Su Yue looked up at the peak, took a deep breath, and said, "We must climb over this mountain to reach the border faster." Mu Feng and Murong Xue nodded in agreement.

The three of them began their arduous climb up the mountain. Su Yue accidentally stepped on a loose rock and nearly fell, but Mu Feng caught her in time. Murong Xue led the way, her sword cutting through the thorns blocking the way.

After finally climbing halfway up the mountain, they suddenly saw dark clouds covering the sky, and a rainstorm was about to come. The wind was howling, making it almost impossible for them to stand.

"Find a place to shelter from the rain!" Su Yue shouted.

They searched everywhere and finally found a cave. As soon as they hid in the cave, a heavy downpour began to pour down. The rain hit the cave entrance, splashing water everywhere.

Inside the cave, Su Yue looked at the rain outside and became increasingly anxious. She was worried that such weather would delay their trip.

After the rain stopped, they continued on their journey. Finally, they crossed the mountains, and after several days of travel, they were getting closer and closer to the border.

However, at this moment, they encountered a group of bandits who surrounded them on horseback.

"I built this road and planted these trees. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave some money for passage!" the bandit leader shouted loudly.

Su Yue and the other two were not afraid at all and engaged in a fierce fight with the bandits.

After a fierce fight, Su Yue and the other two, along with the secret guards, finally defeated the bandits with their tenacious will and outstanding martial arts. They were all panting and had many wounds on their bodies, but their eyes were still full of determination.

After a short rest, they continued on their journey. Finally, at dusk, they saw the towering city wall at the border. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the wall, giving it a golden glow.

After entering the city, Su Yue began to inquire about the whereabouts of Shangguan Haomu and Shangguan Haochen. However, the information she received was very little, which made her feel even more depressed.

"Don't worry, miss, we will definitely find them." Mu Feng comforted.

Just as they were feeling lost, a mysterious old man appeared before them. He was dressed in rags, but his eyes were bright and sharp. "Are you looking for Brother Shangguan?"

Su Yue nodded hurriedly: “Old man, do you know where they are?”

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Follow me."

Su Yue and the other two followed the old man half-believingly through several narrow streets and arrived in front of a dilapidated courtyard. The gate was closed and the surroundings were silent.

The old man knocked gently on the door, and it opened. Shangguan Haochen looked exhausted and helpless. The moment he saw Su Yue, he was startled at first, then his eyes flashed with surprise, and then a hint of grievance was brought to that light.

"Sister, why are you here?" Shangguan Haochen's voice was trembling and unbelievable. He rushed forward and hugged Su Yue tightly, choking with sobs. His body trembled slightly, and tears soaked Su Yue's shoulders.

Su Yue patted his back gently and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid, Haochen, your sister is here."

Su Yue walked into the yard and found Shangguan Haomu lying on a simple bed, seriously injured and unconscious. His face was as pale as paper, and the wounds on his body were still bleeding.

"What's going on?" Su Yue asked anxiously.

Shangguan Haochen tried hard to hold back his tears and said, "Sister, we were ambushed by the enemy, and I protected me..." Before he finished speaking, his voice was choked with sobs.

Su Yue frowned and immediately began to check Shangguan Haomu's injuries. It turned out that Yanmen City had been in war for several years. People were living in dire straits, all kinds of supplies were in short supply, and medicines were even more difficult to find. That was why Shangguan Haomu's injuries had become so serious.

Su Yue looked at Shangguan Haochen, who looked anxious, and said, "Haochen, you, Mu Feng, and Murong Xue go outside and look for clean water. I'll stay here to watch over your brother."

Although Shangguan Haochen was a little confused, he still obediently took Mu Feng and Murong Xue out.

After they left, Su Yue made sure no one was around before confidently retrieving the precious healing medicine from her space. Her movements were swift and careful, her eyes filled with concern. She carefully applied the medicine to Shangguan Haomu's wound and bandaged it with a clean cloth. Beads of sweat covered her forehead, but her hands never stopped moving.

After a while, Shangguan Haomu's complexion seemed to improve a little, and his breathing gradually stabilized. Su Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the people who had gone out to find water came back. Shangguan Haochen asked anxiously as soon as he entered the room, "Sister, how is my brother?"

Su Yue smiled and replied: "Don't worry, his condition is much more stable."

Shangguan Haochen and the others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Su Yue's words. However, at this moment, there was another commotion outside, mixed with people's shouts and the sound of weapons clashing.

Su Yue frowned and said to everyone, "You guys stay here and I'll go out and take a look."

She walked out of the yard and saw a group of soldiers fighting fiercely with a group of bandits on the street. People were fleeing in all directions, crying and shouting.

Su Yue was filled with anger and was about to go forward to help, but suddenly she found that the moves of several of the robbers looked familiar. She thought carefully, wasn't this the same move used by the gang that attacked them before?

Su Yue quietly went around to the back and took advantage of the bandits' inattention to shoot down several of them with his hidden arrows. The soldiers were greatly encouraged by the help they received and they quickly drove the bandits back.

The general leading the team came over to thank Su Yue: "Thank you for your help, young lady. What is your name?"

Su Yue clasped her fists and said, "You are too polite, General. I am Su Yue, and I just happened to be passing by."

The general said, "The situation in Yanmen City is turbulent right now, so it's best for you to be careful."

Su Yue nodded in thanks and turned back to the yard.
