[Ouyang Jian: Xiaochun got an upset stomach from eating stewed chicken in Fulai County yesterday, and today the heavy snow has triggered a fever.]

Ouyang Jian stood up and made way for Xia Yuan.

[Ouyang Jian: We suggested finding a doctor for him in Yongning City, but he insisted on going to the Heyang Sect and having them pay for his treatment. Who would have thought he'd suddenly faint and fall off his horse?]

Xia Yuan gently removed the cloth covering the person's face, revealing a baby face flushed red from the fever. The eyes were tightly closed, and the person looked very young, about the same age as He Shi.

Xia Yuan turned around and waved to the person behind her.

In just a few breaths, Bai Yushen walked over.

[Bai Yushen: Senior Sister, you were looking for me?]

[Xia Yuan: Third Junior Brother, there are still some Rejuvenation Pills left over from before we left. Go and fetch one to stabilize the child's condition.]

Bai Yushen didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went back to get a small porcelain bottle.

Xia Yuan took off her sheepskin gloves, poured a small brown pill from the bottle, put it into Ouyang Chun's mouth, and used her internal energy to help him swallow the medicine.

After feeling the effects of the medicine take hold, Xia Yuan stood up.

[Xia Yuan: He'll wake up in less than fifteen minutes, but the fever won't go down. You need to get to Heyang Sect as soon as possible to find a doctor, lest he become delirious from the fever.]

Ouyang Jian rubbed his hands together and secretly moved closer to Xia Yuan.

[Ouyang Jian: Miss Xia, thank you for your timely rescue. My name is Ouyang Jian, you probably haven't heard of me before...]

Xia Yuan's lower face was covered by a snow-white fox fur coat, and her phoenix eyes curved slightly as she looked at Ouyang Jian.

[Xia Yuan: I know you. Your father is Senior Ouyang Jufeng. We met once earlier this year when my master asked him to forge a bow.]

Ouyang Jian's eyes widened slightly, his young and inexperienced face filled with excitement.

[Ouyang Jian: Miss Xia, I didn't expect you to remember me, I...]

Bai Yushen stood to the side and took a step forward without making a sound.

[Bai Yushen: Cough, Senior Sister, we should go. Junior Sister and Junior Brother are both terribly cold.]

Ouyang Jian then realized that there was a burly young man standing behind Xia Yuan, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

[Ouyang Jian: Hahaha, look at me, I'm so excited I've forgotten the important matter.]

He took Ouyang Chun from Ouyang Yebing and grinned at Xia Yuan, showing his big teeth.

[Ouyang Jian: Let's not disturb Miss Xia's journey. You should hurry on your way; it's too cold here. We'll meet at the Heyang Sect later.]

Ouyang Yebing, who had been standing quietly to the side, bowed deeply to Xia Yuan and Bai Yushen.

[Ouyang Yebing: Thank you very much for the rescue by the two young heroes of the Chu family.]

Xia Yuan returned the greeting.

Xia Yuan: You're too kind. It was just a small favor, nothing to mention.

After saying that, she led Bai Yushen back to the official road.

Chu Yunsi and He Shi sat on their horses, while Chu He stood on the ground, leaning on his sword beside them.

Seeing Xia Yuan and Bai Yushen return, he tugged at the reins and nimbly mounted his horse.

Xia Yuan and Bai Yushen mounted their horses one after the other. Xia Yuan lightly flicked the reins and gave a soft shout.

[Xia Yuan: Giddy up!]

The horse spurred its hooves and continued galloping into the distance.

Not long after they left, He Yu saw the three members of the Ouyang family also riding their horses onto the official road.

Ouyang Jian carried Ouyang Chun in his arms, and the two rode ahead on a horse. Ouyang Yebing led the empty horse behind them, heading towards Heyang Sect.

Just as He Yu was about to follow, he caught a glimpse of someone riding a horse in the distance behind him, seemingly pulling a carriage.

She controlled the perspective and changed direction.

The group of people who came from afar were moving very slowly.

At the front were two men on horseback, dressed in a very smart manner, followed by a huge carriage pulled by four fine Suoyuan horses.

The wood used for the carriage frame was beautiful in color and grain, and the whole body was carved with a picture of all living beings. Two hollowed-out bamboo lanterns hung in front of the carriage door. Even in the dead of winter, the bamboo lanterns were as green as new, swaying left and right in the wind and snow.

The coachman was very tall and somewhat hunchbacked. He was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, so his face was obscured.

He Yu's perspective was fixed on the side of the official road. The carriage drove steadily past her, the windows tightly closed, and two people, a man and a woman, followed behind on horseback.

These people are interesting.

He Yu caught up with them.

She zoomed in on the image, peered closely at the carriage for a long time, and then hissed.

Good heavens, the carriage frame is actually made of Dalbergia odorifera!

This is what people commonly refer to as Hainan rosewood. In the real world, it is a precious wood known as a "national treasure." How could it be so casually made into a horse-drawn carriage?

I originally thought the Chu family was already quite wealthy, but compared to this mysterious, unseen tycoon, they're still far behind...

He Yu couldn't help but sigh that, no matter what world it is, the gap between the rich and the poor is unimaginable.

The wealthy man remained remarkably composed, perhaps because his expensive carriage was exceptionally comfortable. In any case, the four horses and the carriage moved leisurely along the official road, braving the freezing wind and snow, as if they were taking a stroll.

He Yu wasn't in a hurry. He followed behind them, occasionally rotating his view to admire the exquisite carriage from various angles.

If only I had a camera, I could take pictures to remember the moment...

After walking for a while, He Yu suddenly remembered something. She opened the map and found that a small area of ​​the map ahead, named "Heyang Sect," had been lit up.

He Yu was taken aback, then realized that He Shi and the others had arrived at their destination. So he decisively abandoned the leisurely, beautiful carriage and clicked on the location name on the map, which took him to Heyang Sect.

The Heyang Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the number one sect in the world. The large open space in front of the sect was kept very clean, and a magnificent and unique gate stood on it.

A square shape was carved out of a natural marble slab that was about two zhang high, three zhang wide, and seven chi thick. The outside and inside were wrapped with fine golden nanmu wood and carved into a magnificent gate. The wood and stone were integrated wonderfully, and the whole gate was as if it were a single, natural piece.

He Yu broadened his horizons during this long trip.

She sighed inwardly, her gaze falling on He Shi and his group of five who had dismounted and were standing in front of the gate. Xia Yuan, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was exchanging pleasantries with Elder Hu.

[Hu Fucheng: Everyone, please go with A Yuan to rest. The sect leader has arranged a banquet this evening, and I will send someone to pick you up then.]

Xia Yuan nodded.

Xia Yuan: Then we won't disturb Elder Hu any longer, we'll take our leave now.

An inconspicuous young man who had been following Hu Fucheng walked over and led the five people through the gate into the interior of the Heyang Sect.
