The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

The room was still silent. Xi Yu sighed helplessly and stood at the door waiting quietly.

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu with a stubborn expression, frowned slightly, and said anxiously: "Don't wait here."

Xi Yu's eyes were firm, and he replied without hesitation: "You three go first, don't worry about me."

Ouyang Linlin knew Xiyu's temper very well. She sighed helplessly and turned to walk towards Xiaohong and Song Shuwen.

She lowered her voice and said, "My husband asked us to leave first."

Song Shuwen looked serious, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Madam is right. We can't help here. Let's go out first and make a long-term plan."

The three of them walked slowly out of the inn with full of worry.

Every step seemed so heavy. Ouyang Linlin couldn't help but look back frequently, silently praying in her heart that Xi Yu would be safe.

Xi Yu lowered his head, standing awkwardly at the door like a sinner, his hands unconsciously clenching the corners of his clothes.

He raised his head and said with a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his voice: "This is really a helpless move. There is no other way."

Wenxuan pursed his lips tightly, his eyes full of entanglement and struggle. He was silent for a long time, and finally made way and said softly, "Come in."

When Xiyu stepped into the house, Wenxuan couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Her eyes were complicated, and she said in a trembling voice: "I believe in Dr. Song's medical skills, and I believe in your character, but...but I still can't accept the fact that you gave your body away like this."

The atmosphere in the room was solemn and depressing. Xiyu stood there, not knowing how to comfort Wenxuan, and just felt full of guilt.

But after a while, Xi Yu told himself in his heart, why should he feel guilty?
He did nothing wrong. He was doing this to save people out of necessity.

Wenxuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Let's not mention this matter again from now on. I can't possibly marry you, and I plan to remain single for the rest of my life."

Her tone was firm and her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

When Xi Yu heard this, his heart was shocked. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He could only stare at Wenxuan blankly. The room fell into deathly silence again.

After a while, Xi Yu laughed again and said, "I don't plan to let you marry me, just don't have any psychological burden."

Wenxuan rolled his eyes at Xiyu and said unhappily, "I just did something like that, I guess you'll be very happy."

Xi Yu was a little embarrassed and quickly waved his hands to deny: "No, no, don't misunderstand."

The two were in a stalemate when Wenxuan's face suddenly changed and he exclaimed, "Oh no! I'll miss the class again this time."

Xi Yu also frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It has come to this point, there is nothing we can do, we will just work harder to make up for it when we return."

Wenxuan bit his lip and nodded helplessly: "This is the only way."

At this moment, at Youzhou College, Wenxuan's class time had arrived, but he did not come to class.

Lu Su soon learned about this and felt very strange.

He frowned and asked everyone in the academy: "What is going on? Why didn't Wenxuan come to class?"

Dongfanghong became anxious when she heard the news. Her face turned pale instantly and she asked in a trembling voice, "Is Wenxuan missing?"

His heart was filled with worries, and all kinds of bad thoughts emerged involuntarily in his mind.

The other students were also talking to each other. "This is really strange. Teacher Wenxuan is always punctual and would not skip class without a reason."

"Could it be that he encountered some danger?"

The entire college fell into chaos and anxiety because of Wenxuan's absence from classes.

Dongfanghong told Lu Su anxiously, "I'm going out to look for Wenxuan. I don't have any classes this afternoon."

Lu Su frowned and said, "Do you know where Wenxuan went? Just go out and look for him."

Dongfanghong clenched her fists, her eyes determined: "No matter what, I have to go out. Even if I have no clues, even if it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, I can't just wait here. What if she is really in danger?"

Lu Su looked at Dongfang Hong's resolute expression and sighed, "Then you should be more careful and come back to let me know if you have any news."

Dongfanghong nodded, turned around without hesitation and ran towards the college gate. His figure cast a long shadow in the sunlight, with a heart full of worry and anxiety.

Dongfanghong galloped out on a horse, but at this time he didn't know where to go.

There are many forks in the road ahead, and each one seems to hide the unknown.

But his eyes remained firm, he held the reins tightly, with only one thought in his mind: he must find Wenxuan.

Even if there is little hope, even if the road ahead is filled with fog, he cannot stop.

The horse's hooves raised clouds of dust and the sunlight shone on his tense face.

The wind whistled in his ears, as if urging him to speed up.

Dongfanghong gritted his teeth, drove the horse forward, and his figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

In the inn, Wenxuan was full of regret and realized that all this was the result of his own playfulness. If he had gone back earlier, he might not have been caught in the rain and this would not have happened. "

Xi Yu comforted him, "Now that you're better, we have to hurry on our way. I'll go find Ouyang Linlin and the other two."

Wenxuan nodded, stood up, tidied his clothes, and followed Xiyu out of the room.

Ouyang Linlin and the other two were standing on a bridge outside.

Xiaohong's eyes were particularly sharp, and she shouted excitedly: "Sister Linlin, look, it's Wenxuan and the Prime Minister coming this way!"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Linlin quickly looked over, and seeing this she knew that everything was fine, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

A relieved smile appeared on Song Shuwen's tense face.

Xi Yu walked over quickly and said to them hurriedly, "Hurry up and get to Youzhou by dusk tomorrow at the latest."

Ouyang Linlin nodded and said, "Okay, let's set off immediately!"

Next, the group quickly rode on horseback back to Youzhou.

On the way, Wenxuan drove his horse closer to Song Shuwen and said sincerely: "Dr. Song, thank you so much this time. Although I don't agree with this treatment method, you saved me after all."

Song Shuwen smiled heartily and responded: "Ms. Wenxuan, all this is arranged by God. If God didn't let us meet, I would have no chance to save you."

Wenxuan nodded slightly, looking at the distant sky, as if thinking about something.

The horses' hooves flew in the air, raising clouds of dust. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long shadows.

The crowd continued to move forward, the evening breeze blowing across their faces, bringing a slight coolness.

At this time, Ouyang Linlin said: "It has been a bumpy journey, but fortunately we are all safe."

Xiao Hong echoed, "Yes, I hope everything will go smoothly from now on."

Xi Yu looked ahead and said seriously, "Everyone, work harder and try to reach Youzhou as soon as possible."

Wenxuan also cheered up and shouted, "We will definitely arrive on time!"

As night falls, stars twinkle in the sky.

Accompanied by the moonlight, they rushed towards their destination without stopping.

By evening, Dongfanghong was exhausted. He dismounted from his horse and led the horse to an inn.

As soon as he entered the store, he weakly called out, "Waiter, give me a few jugs of wine."

As he spoke, he found a corner and sat down, slumping in the chair like a deflated ball.

After a while, the wine was served. He picked up a pot, tilted his head back and took a big gulp. The wine flowed down the corners of his mouth and wet his lapel, but he didn't care.

His eyes were blurry, his cheeks flushed, and he murmured to himself: "Wenxuan, Wenxuan, why can't you see my sincerity towards you?"

As he said this, he slammed the wine glass on the table, his face full of pain.

He took another sip of wine and thought to himself: She doesn't like me at all, and my love for her is doomed to be fruitless.

In order to maintain his image while teaching at the academy, he developed a serious demeanor and buried his longing deep in his heart. Now, with this wine, he can finally let go.

At this time, a guest nearby asked curiously: "Brother, you look so sad, what's the matter?"

Dongfanghong smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Alas, you won't understand even if I tell you. It is the word love that has trapped me." Dongfanghong drank another big mouthful of wine, her eyes becoming more and more blurred, and she muttered: "She never even looks at me straight in the eye."

As he spoke, he held his head in his hands, frowned, and his face was full of pain and helplessness.

People came and went in the inn, and the noisy sounds echoed in his ears, but he seemed to be in a lonely world.

He looked at the wine glass in front of him and laughed at himself: "I am such a fool. I know there will be no result, but I still miss her so much."

At this time, the guest spoke again: "Brother, there are many beautiful women in the world, why do you have to love only one flower?"

Dongfanghong raised her head, glanced at the guest, and said drunkenly: "What do you know? In my heart, she is incomparable."

As the night grew deeper, Dongfanghong's consciousness became increasingly blurred. He lay on the table, still muttering Wenxuan's name intermittently, and a tear actually slipped from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that he could not persuade Dongfanghong, the guest sighed lightly, said no more, and turned away to blend into the hustle and bustle of the inn lobby.

Dongfanghong was like a puppet that had lost its support. Her head tilted and she soon fell drunk on the table, still murmuring Wenxuan's name intermittently in an unclear voice.

Not long after, the waiter passed by and saw Dongfanghong lying motionless on the table. He walked over, shook him gently, and shouted, "Sir, sir, wake up!"

But Dongfanghong showed no reaction and continued to sleep soundly.

The waiter had no choice but to run to the shopkeeper and said anxiously, "Shopkeeper, there is a drunk customer over there, and he won't wake up no matter how hard we call him."

The shopkeeper was clacking away on his abacus. He looked up and glanced in the direction the waiter pointed. He said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. Just get him to a room. That way, you can ask him for the room fee tomorrow."

The waiter looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to disobey the shopkeeper's order, so he had to turn back.

It took a lot of effort to lift the unconscious Dongfanghong up, and with difficulty moved him to a room, threw him heavily on the bed, and then left panting, muttering to himself: "This guy is really heavy!"

The next morning, Dongfanghong woke up slowly and felt a splitting headache.

He rubbed his temples and tried hard to recall what happened last night, but found that his memory was a little fuzzy.

He sat up and looked around the unfamiliar room before realizing he was in an inn.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter's voice came: "Sir, are you awake? It's time to pay the room fee."

Dongfanghong looked confused. After a moment, he reacted and said awkwardly, "Wait a moment. I'll get it right away."

He fumbled about his body, found his purse, and paid the room fee.

Walking out of the room, Dongfanghong looked at the bustling street outside the inn, and the annoyance in his heart was still there.

He secretly made up his mind to bury his feelings for Wenxuan deep in his heart and cheer up again.

Dongfanghong quickly rushed to the college, where classes had just started. He breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing was delayed.

But he still came to Lu Su's office first.

When Lu Su saw him, he quickly asked, "Have you found Wenxuan?"

Dongfanghong looked frustrated, shook his head, and said heavily: "No, there is no clue at all."

After hearing this, Lu Su also sighed, frowned, and paced back and forth in the room. After a moment, he said, "If it doesn't work, report it to the police."

Dongfanghong responded, turned around and left the office.

Lu Su then hurried out to report to the authorities, but when he arrived at the governor's mansion, he found that Guan Yu was not there again. He was filled with anxiety and had no one to vent, so he had to return in frustration.

Along the way, Lu Su felt extremely heavy-hearted. All kinds of dangers that Wenxuan might encounter kept appearing in his mind, and his steps became heavier.

When he returned to the academy, his face was gloomy, and he had a lot of worries but no place to vent them.

After the first class, Dongfanghong ran to Lu Su in a hurry and asked anxiously, "Have you reported to the police?"

Lu Su hung his head, sighed and said, "Guan Yu is not here. I heard he has been gone for a long time. I don't know where he went."

Dongfanghong was so anxious that she stamped her feet when she heard this. Her brows were knitted tightly together. Her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness. Her heart seemed to be on fire. "What should I do? What should I do?"

Seeing Dongfanghong so anxious, Lu Su patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Wenxuan will be fine. Maybe he just wanted to play around and hid somewhere."

Although he said this, Lu Su's eyes were somewhat evasive. He knew in his heart that he didn't even believe what he said.

Dongfanghong knew that Lu Su was comforting himself. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, muttering to himself: "If only it were really as you said..."

Finally, Lu Su frowned and said with a firm look, "This is not a solution. We need to post a missing person notice. Whoever finds Wenxuan will be rewarded handsomely."

Dongfanghong's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly, "Okay, let's do it!"

As a result, many sticker announcements soon appeared in the streets and alleys of Youzhou City.

People gathered around the announcement, whispering to each other.

"Who is this Wenxuan?"

"I don't know, but it looks very important. There's actually a big reward for it."

For a time, the entire Youzhou city was in turmoil because of these missing person notices.

At this moment, Wenxuan and others were still on their way non-stop.

Wenxuan's face was full of anxiety and he sneezed several times in succession.

She muttered, "I'm sneezing now. I guess the person who needs me is thinking about me. It's a pity that there are no telephones in this ancient time, so there is no way to contact me."

Xi Yu comforted him, "There's nothing we can do about it. I'll explain it to everyone when we get back."

Ouyang Linlin was listening at the side and thought what they said was very strange.

"Phone? What is this?" She was full of doubts, but seeing that everyone looked hurried, she did not ask, but silently quickened her riding speed.

However, they were getting closer and closer to Youzhou, and Xiyu's mood also improved a lot. He let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "I have been away from Youzhou for a long time, and I am finally coming back."

Wenxuan looked ahead and said, "Yeah, I don't know how everyone is doing."

Ouyang Linlin smiled and replied: "You'll know when you get back."

The group continued to move towards Youzhou with anticipation.

It was almost noon when they finally arrived at the border crossing in Youzhou.

Xi Yu's face was filled with joy, and he said loudly: "Finally I'm back!"

Wenxuan also breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

The soldiers at the border crossing immediately saluted them. One of them said respectfully, "Prime Minister, Liu Bei's envoy once sent someone to deliver a letter, which has been kept here."

Having said that, he presented the letter to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu took the letter, waved his hand and said, "I understand. I'm a little tired now. I'll read it after I get back."

The crowd did not stop for long and continued walking towards the city.

After entering the city, the bustling streets were bustling with people, but Wenxuan had no intention of appreciating it.

She looked up inadvertently and found that her disappearance had become a big deal. A large notice had been posted in the college with her name and characteristics clearly written on it.

She smiled bitterly and said to Xi Yu: "You see, my previous worries turned out to be correct. This has caused a big mess. I don't know how to explain it when I go back."

Xi Yu looked at her worried expression and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, just explain everything clearly."

Wenxuan sighed, feeling uneasy, not knowing what would be waiting for her.

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu and said sincerely, "Husband, why don't you go back and explain it with me? Maybe we can explain things more clearly."

Xi Yu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Let's not talk about the treatment. The process is really difficult to talk about, and talking about it will cause unnecessary trouble." Wenxuan said.

Xi Yu couldn't help but covered his mouth and laughed, his eyes curved into crescent shapes: "Don't worry, Wenxuan, of course not. We just need to know the truth about this matter, and we won't say anything nonsense."

They quickened their pace and hurried towards the direction of the academy. (End of this chapter)
