The Young Swordsman of Dalu

A month has passed, and the weather in the north has turned into the cold winter, with occasional snowflakes. In order to escort Yao Yuan and his party to the capital as soon as possible, Wen Tao and others, after the capital sent a new border defense battalion commander, prepared to return to the capital. Just then, Shangguan Chenxing's injuries recovered, so they returned to the capital together.

To prevent Liang Feiyan from leaving on her own again, Duan Lixing wanted to personally escort her to Wenxian Pavilion so that the old imperial physician Liang and his sister could rest assured.

“Lord Duan, His Majesty has important matters to attend to. Let the young people go together. I have already ordered my son Wenjie to escort Feiyan to Wenxian Pavilion and personally hand her over to Elder Li. You can rest assured,” Wentao said.

"That's the only way. I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Wen!" Duan Lixing said.

"You're too kind, senior," Wenjie said.

"Let's go!" Wentao said.

"Father, farewell. After I have met with my master, I will go to the capital to visit you both," Shangguan Xingyun said, holding the hands of Shangguan Chenxing and Madam Wang.

"Go without worry," Shangguan Chenxing said.

"Thank you for your help, Father and Mother," Shangguan Xingyun said to Shangguan Mulei and his wife.

"Sister, go ahead and don't worry about our parents," Shangguan Mulei and his wife said.

"Auntie, hug me!" Shangguan Yu said in his childish voice.

Shangguan Xingyun picked up his little nephew and hugged him affectionately, reluctant to part with him.

Liang Feiyan also said goodbye to her uncle: "Uncle, go in peace. Tell my grandpa and my mother that I'm fine. I've grown up now."

"Take care on your journey, and don't make any more mistakes. Your grandfather and mother can't withstand any more trouble," Duan Lixing said seriously.

"I'll remember, Uncle. Take care of yourself too. Farewell." After saying this, Liang Feiyan rode her horse to Wenjie's side, with Caihong following behind.

Several young people and their elders went their separate ways to the north mountain.

After several days of travel, Wenjie and his group first arrived at Beishan.

"Young Master Wen, Miss Liang, we shall part ways here. Farewell," Shangguan Xingyun said as he dismounted.

"Sister Shangguan, please call me Feiyan from now on! It sounds more intimate that way," Liang Feiyan said.

“Alright, Feiyan, I wish you all the best in your studies at Wenxian Pavilion,” Shangguan Xingyun said.

"Thank you very much, Sister Shangguan," Liang Feiyan said.

"Young Master Wen, please escort Sister Feiyan to Wenxian Pavilion with care. Have a safe journey!" Shangguan Xingyun said to Wen Jie.

"Miss Shangguan, farewell." Wenjie had a thousand words he wanted to say to Shangguan Xingyun, but with Liang Feiyan present, he couldn't say them out loud.

Seeing Wenjie's troubled expression, Liang Feiyan said, "Young Master Wen, Caihong and I will wait for you ahead." After saying that, she and Caihong rode their horses ahead.

“Young Master Wen, you and Sister Feiyan are engaged. This is not good. She will misunderstand us,” Shangguan Xingyun said.

“The marriage contract doesn’t bind me,” Wenjie said.

"Young Master Wen, if we are to remain friends, please respect yourself and let's part ways here. I hope we will never meet again." With that, Shangguan Xingyun rode his horse into the North Mountain.

Wenjie watched Shangguan Xingyun walk away, raised his hand and slapped his own mouth: "How could I be so stupid? I can't even tell her that I like her."

Wenjie caught up with Liang Feiyan on horseback. The two spoke in silence and rode around Nanshan Mountain until they reached Wangtianya.

Li Chaoyang had already received the news that Liang Feiyan had arrived at Wenxian Pavilion under Wenjie's escort, so he had his servant wait for her at the mountain gate.

“Miss Liang, our old master instructed us to wait for you here early this morning and take you up the mountain,” the boy said.

"Thank you so much, Elder Master!" Liang Feiyan said politely.

“Miss Liang, now that you’ve arrived at Wenxian Pavilion, I won’t go up and disturb Elder Li. I’ll go check on Wenfei,” Wenjie said.

"Is Young Master Wen in such a hurry to leave?" Liang Feiyan asked.

"I...I..." Wenjie didn't know how to answer.

"Since Young Master Wen is so eager to see his brother, let's take our leave now." Liang Feiyan felt a little sad.

"Take care!" Wenjie said before leaving.

“Miss, you should say what you want to say, otherwise how will Young Master Wen understand?” Rainbow said anxiously.

"When feelings run deep, words fail to express them; you wouldn't understand," Liang Feiyan said before following the boy up to Wenxian Pavilion.

Wenjie had heard from Wentao about what happened to Wenfei at Wenxian Pavilion while he was in the Northern Frontier. Seeing Wentao speaking through gritted teeth, he comforted him, "Perhaps Wenxian Pavilion is not suitable for Fourth Brother. Let him stay with Uncle Ji. Maybe he can give us a surprise."

"I'll be satisfied if you don't just scare me when the time comes," Wen Tao said.

Wen Tao came to Wenxian Pavilion this time because he wanted Wen Jie to see Wen Fei and let him study his skills in peace in these deep mountains.

Wenjie understood Wentao's thoughts; how could a father not love his own son?

When Wenfei returned from his training and saw Wenjie, he couldn't believe his eyes: "Second Brother, is it really you? This is unbelievable! How did you get here! I missed you so much, Second Brother!" He then pounced on Wenjie and clung to him like a monkey.

Changsheng was also very excited to see Wenjie: "Second Young Master!"

"Wenfei, Changsheng, are you alright?" Wenjie asked with concern.

"We're doing great! Right, Changsheng?" Wenfei said with a smile.

"Let me see," Wenjie said, putting Wenfei down. "You've gotten quite a bit stronger."

"Of course," Wenfei said, showing off his biceps.

"I just talked with Uncle Ji for a while. He said you guys are working very hard, keep up the good work, and believe in yourselves that you are the best," Wenjie encouraged.

"Second Brother, we will definitely try our best. Where did you come from this time, Second Brother?" Wenfei asked.

Wenjie told them about what happened in the northern border region, and Wenfei's eyes were full of envy.

"That was so exciting, it's a pity I wasn't here," Wenfei said.

Wenjie looked at Wenfei with concern, his eyes full of affection: "You are still too young and do not know the dangers of the world."

“I understand, Second Brother,” Wenfei said.

"Don't think about the martial world right now. Focus on mastering your skills, and the martial world will be right in front of you," Wenjie said.

"I'll listen to my second brother," Wenfei said.

Wenjie and Wenfei had lunch and were about to leave.

“Wenfei, our father, you know he doesn’t express his love for you, and sometimes he’s too harsh on you, but he does it all for your own good. Don’t hold a grudge against him, okay?” Wenjie said.

"I won't take it to heart. My second brother and grandma's love is enough. I don't care about anything else," Wenfei said.

"You! You'll never grow up," Wenjie said affectionately.

"Second Brother, can't we stay one more day?" Wenfei was reluctant to see Wenjie leave.

"I need to go back to Nanshan to tell my master about the situation in the northern frontier, so he won't worry. Don't worry, I'll come to see you again when I pass by here another day," Wenjie comforted him.

The two brothers parted ways; Wenjie rushed back to Nanshan, while Wenfei returned to the valley to continue practicing his skills.
