Chapter 205 Chen Hongtao's Letter
However, Chen Xin'er was unaware of what was happening at home. She, Lin Feng, and Xu Tian were on their way to Jinyan City. Their hearts were filled with anticipation and hope, not knowing what awaited them.
The sun shone brightly on the earth, warm and shining. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a breath of fresh air. Chen Xiner looked into the distance, her heart filled with longing for the future. Little did she know, a huge storm was waiting for her.
The Chen family's bounty caused a stir in every corner of Jinyan City. People speculated about Chen Xiner's whereabouts, and some with ulterior motives began to make their own plans.
Across the vast expanse of land, the sound of horse hooves, like the rapid beat of drums, shattered the tranquil atmosphere. Lin Feng, Xu Tian, and Chen Xin'er galloped at full speed, their figures appearing remarkably resolute in the sunlight. They were nearly reaching Jinyan City, their hearts filled with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation for the unknown that lay ahead.
Lin Feng rode his horse, his posture erect, his eyes gleaming with determination and courage. His long hair fluttered in the wind, his black robe rustling in the breeze. He gripped the reins tightly, his gaze constantly scanning his surroundings, ever vigilant. He was filled with worry for Chen Xiner, wondering why the Chen family had issued a bounty for her capture.
Xu Tian followed closely behind Lin Feng, a hint of excitement on his face. After a series of trials and tribulations, his strength had reached the level of a sixth-grade Grandmaster, and he exuded a powerful aura. His eyes were filled with longing for the future, and he secretly vowed to follow Lin Feng and carve out a niche in this challenging world. However, he was also worried about Chen Xiner's situation.
Chen Xin'er, on the other hand, seemed troubled. A hint of worry crossed her beautiful face, her eyes revealing a longing for her family and uncertainty about the future. She knew her choice might bring trouble to her family, but she couldn't give up on her love. She gripped the reins tightly, secretly resolving to return home and find out the truth.
Suddenly, a piece of news hit them like a bolt from the blue. The Chen family had issued a bounty for Chen Xiner's capture and brought back to the family. Lin Feng and the other two were immediately bewildered. They didn't know why the Chen family had made such a decision.
"What's going on? Why did the Chen family take you back?" Lin Feng asked with a frown, his eyes full of confusion and worry.
Chen Xiner shook her head. She had no idea what was going on at home. "I don't know, but I have to go home and take a look. Whatever it is, everything will work out once I get home." Her tone was firm, her eyes revealing a resolute look.
Lin Feng and Xu Tian looked at each other. They knew that Chen Xiner's decision was correct. At this time, escaping was not a solution. Only by facing it bravely could they find a solution to the problem.
However, just as they were about to continue walking towards Jinyan City, a man from the Chen family suddenly rode over on horseback. This man was none other than Chen Yu. When Lin Feng first came to the Chen family, he was chased and killed. When he reached the gate of Jinyan City, Lin Feng was almost killed. In the end, Chen Yu passed by and saved Lin Feng.
Chen Yu, 24, was now a Half-Step Grandmaster, just one step away from Grandmaster status. He possessed talent comparable to Chen Xiner, yet he remained a mere servant of the Chen family. He rode a majestic steed, his posture slender and his eyes radiating a calm and confident expression. His long black hair was tied back, and his face, chiseled and defined, exuded a sense of fortitude.
When Chen Yu arrived in front of Chen Xiner, he stopped, took out a letter, and said, "Miss, this is something the patriarch asked me to give you. He has now emerged from his confinement." His voice was deep and powerful, his face expressionless. His eyes revealed a hint of respect, full of respect for Chen Xiner, the eldest daughter of the Chen family.
Chen Xiner took the letter with a puzzled look on her face, then asked, "Grandpa is out of quarantine? Then why are you writing to me?" Her eyes were filled with confusion and uneasiness, not knowing what the letter might contain. Her fingers gently stroked the envelope, her heart filled with nervousness.
Chen Yu said, "I don't know either." His tone was calm, as if he didn't care about the matter. But a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. He knew Chen Xiner was in a dangerous situation and didn't know what fate she would face when she returned.
Chen Xiner then eagerly opened the letter, her eyes filled with nervous anticipation. Lin Feng and Xu Tian also watched her quietly, awaiting her reaction. A gentle breeze blew past, ruffling Chen Xiner's hair. Her beautiful face looked particularly stunning in the sunlight.
Lin Feng, standing by, cupped his fists and said to Chen Yu, "Brother Chen, we meet again." His eyes were filled with gratitude and respect. If Chen Yu hadn't come to his rescue, he might have died long ago. His voice was filled with emotion, as if he was recalling the thrilling scene of that year.
Chen Yu nodded slightly and said, "Brother Lin, how are you? I didn't expect you to be so powerful." His eyes revealed a hint of surprise and admiration. He knew that Lin Feng must have gone through many hardships and obstacles in the past few years to achieve what he has today. He was full of admiration for Lin Feng, but also felt confused about his own future.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you're too kind. I've just been lucky these past few years." His tone was modest, but his eyes revealed a confidence and determination. He knew that his strength was gained through continuous hard work and struggle, not luck.
By this time, Chen Xiner had finished reading the letter, and her expression had become somewhat complicated. She didn't know how to face her family's decision, nor did she know where her future would lead. Her eyes revealed a hint of confusion and pain, and her heart was full of contradictions.
"Xin'er, what's in the letter?" Lin Feng asked with concern, his eyes full of worry. He saw that Chen Xin'er's face was not right, and he was even more worried about her safety.
Tears welled up in Chen Xiner's eyes. She looked at Lin Feng and said, "My father told me not to return to the Chen family until I've settled my engagement with the Nine Phoenix Pavilion. He also told me that he'll keep sending people to capture me. He also hopes that you, Lin Feng, will protect me. If I'm captured, I'll have no choice but to marry the Young Master of the Nine Emperor Pavilion."
Lin Feng felt a surge of guilt upon hearing this. He knew it was all because of him. He secretly clenched his fists, thinking that in this situation, he could only go to the capital and ask the Emperor for help. But he still gently comforted Chen Xiner, "Xiner, don't worry, I will definitely let you return to the Chen family." Chen Xiner nodded, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
