The Young Swordsman of Dalu

Wenfei buried the ashes of Feng Yumian and Feng Yuwan together. He stood in front of their graves and gazed at them for a long time. He looked up and thought, "Perhaps the majestic Kunlun Mountains are the best place for them. May you rest in peace here."

"Wenfei, let's go back and reunite with our father and the others," Wenjie said.

Wen Fei knelt down and bowed three times towards the grave, then looked at Feng Kuo.

"Feng Kuo, are you sure you want to go find your father?"

"Wenfei, don't forget what you told my aunt."

"This is my own business; you should consider your own situation."

"What do you mean by that? Let's go!" Wenjie urged.

The group traversed mountains and valleys back to the grasslands. Wen Tao had made all the necessary preparations and was about to lead Feng Datian and his people to join the army's march.

Wenjie led Feng Kuo ahead, with Shangguan Xingyun following behind. Wen Fei was preoccupied with his thoughts the whole way. He didn't know how to deal with the situation he was facing. He felt that his current predicament was the same as before he transmigrated, and his relationship with his father had reached a point of tension.

“Father! Fourth Brother is back!” Wenjie said, bowing.

"You've come back just in time, let's go!" Wen Tao didn't even glance at Wen Fei.

Wenjie looked helplessly at Wenfei, who simply lowered his head and remained silent.

"Father!" Feng Kuo saw Feng Datian being locked in the prison cart.

"Kuo'er, what are you doing back here?" Feng Datian complained when he saw Feng Kuo return.

“My aunt is dead. Wherever my father is, that’s where I will be,” Feng Kuo said stubbornly.

"You child, wouldn't it be better if you just stayed that way?" Feng Datian said with heartache.

“I knew I couldn’t hide anything from you,” Feng Kuo laughed.

Wen Tao ordered the army to set off, with Wen Fei following behind. Wen Jie, worried about Wen Fei, silently stayed by his side.

"Second Brother, I'm fine, don't worry. Changsheng is with me." Wenfei forced a smile.

“Wenfei, your father also had his difficulties back then,” Wenjie comforted him.

"Second Brother, Changsheng, you two go ahead. I want to be alone." Wenfei just wanted to be by himself.

"Okay, just call me if you need anything." Wenjie went to the front.

"Fourth Young Master, you need to think more positively," Changsheng said with heartache.

“Don’t worry about my immortality, go,” Wenfei said.

"How is Wenfei?" Shangguan Xingyun asked.

"I'm in a bad mood," Wenjie sighed.

"No one would feel good in this situation." Shangguan Xingyun squeezed his legs against the horse and rode forward.

"Did you already know?!" Wenjie slapped his horse's rump and chased after it.

"What good is knowing? It can't stop things from happening. He can only heal himself slowly," Shangguan Xingyun said.

"I hope he can get through this soon," Wenjie said with some worry.

Wen Tao's army sent letters of thanks to various tribes in the Western Regions along the way, expressing their gratitude for recognizing the situation and refraining from rash actions when capturing the Feng siblings, which made the operation very successful.

Wen Tao's army traveled for three days and finally arrived at Beijiang City.

Outside the city of Beijiang, Li Chaoyang led all the officials in the city to come out and greet them.

"Your Highness, is everything going smoothly?" Li Chaoyang asked.

"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, the Feng family father and son have been escorted back. Feng Yumian committed suicide out of fear of punishment," Wen Tao said.

"Good! Mission accomplished! Let's return to the city!" Li Chaoyang waved his hand and entered Beijiang City with Wen Tao.

"Oh no! Wenfei is missing!" Wenjie waited at the city gate until the army had entered the city, but he still couldn't find Wenfei.

"Isn't he behind us?" Shangguan Xingyun asked anxiously.

"I saw him behind me when we were at the border, but he disappeared in just a moment! It's driving me crazy!" Wenjie was extremely anxious.

"Second Young Master, didn't Wenfei come back with you?" Li Wei asked as he came out of the city.

"He's gone." Wenjie was very frustrated.

"Young Master Wen, you're back!" Liang Feiyan also came out of the city to greet him.

“Yes, Miss Liang.” Wenjie looked at Shangguan Xingyun.

Shangguan Xingyun did not meet his gaze and said, "Feiyan, it is only you who have come!"

"Sister Shangguan!" Liang Feiyan and Li Wei called out.

"Sister Shangguan, where did Wenfei go?" Li Wei asked.

“He was just behind us, but now he’s disappeared. Maybe he’ll be back soon,” Shangguan Xingyun said.

"You little rascal, all you do is run around!" Li Wei complained.

"Let him be, he might just show up in front of you soon," Liang Feiyan joked.

"Sister Feiyan is ignoring you! I'm going with Sister Shangguan." Li Wei said, pouting.

"Let's go into town!"

Wenjie was worried about Wenfei. After watching everyone enter the city, he turned around and rode his horse to the border.

"Second Young Master, what should we do?" Changsheng was so anxious he was about to cry.

"Wenfei, where have you been?" Wenjie shouted.

After Wen Tao's army reached the border, Wen Fei took the opportunity to enter the territory of the Northern Dynasty, intending to find his master, Ji Wuchang.

In the Northern Dynasty, inside the imperial palace, the new emperor was about to ascend the throne. The eunuchs and palace maids were all busy, and the entire palace was bustling with people, presenting a new scene.

Inside Qingyuan Palace, Murong Xuan, his hair disheveled, screamed madly. The eunuchs and palace maids dared not approach, letting him shout wildly.

When Murong Bo arrived at the gate of Qingyuan Palace, he saw Murong Xuan acting crazy in the courtyard. The eunuch hurriedly knelt down on the ground.

"Has he gone mad?" Murong Bo said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” the eunuch replied.

"You must treat him well. If anything goes wrong, I will not forgive you!" Murong Bo was unsure whether his decision was right or wrong.

"Slave, you obey!"

"Tomorrow is the day the new emperor ascends the throne, Lao Ji, let's leave tomorrow!" Jin Yuanying said.

"I can't wait," Ji Wuchang said with a smile.

"Finally, I can unload this heavy burden and walk out of this deep palace with peace of mind. I'm finally free," Jin Yuanying thought to himself with his eyes closed.

"Your Majesty, the new emperor just went to Qingyuan Palace."

"Go in."

"No, I just told the servants to take good care of that person in Qingyuan Palace."

"Okay, back off!"

"Old Ji, Murong Bo is quite capable." Jin Yuanying was very satisfied.

"Has Murong Xuan really gone mad?" Ji Wuchang asked.

“I’m too old to manage this anymore, let the young people take care of it!” Jin Yuanying said.

"Great attitude!" Ji Wuchang gave a thumbs up.

"Get lost! Do you still have anything on your mind?" Kim Won-young said with a smile.

“If I had to say who I’m worried about, it would be my apprentice Wenfei. Although we haven’t known each other for long, it feels like we’ve known each other for ages. This kid has a special kind of talent about him. He’s the successor I’ve been searching for for many years. If no one inherits my skills, all my decades of hard work would be wasted. Luckily, I met him. I hope he can get through this hurdle on his own,” Ji Wuchang said.

"That kid is really good, you've made the right choice in taking him as your apprentice!" Jin Yuanying also gave a thumbs up in praise.

Wenfei quickly arrived outside Yuxuan Palace. He hesitated, unsure how to express his confusion to his master. He was conflicted.

"Never mind him, let's go in first!" Wenfei made up his mind, looked around, and then leaped over the palace wall.
