Ling Chenyu, the Prince Chen who calls himself a "hands-off boss", behaved out of character today.
He personally took to the battlefield and stepped into the misty and mysterious Ten Thousand Mountains.
The horse under him seemed to sense his master's eagerness.
The sound of horse hooves was brisk and powerful, and every step was precisely placed on the most solid ground in the mountains, as if even nature was applauding his sudden spirit of adventure.
"Li Fang, lead the way quickly!"
Ling Chenyu sat on the horse's back, stroking the horse's mane with one hand and patting Li Fang's shoulder with the other hand in a serious manner.
His eyes showed both anticipation for the unknown and some doubt about his followers' sense of direction.
After a while, he suddenly said:
"Li Fang, Li Fang, your navigation device must be more reliable. Don't let a prince like me become a lost lamb in the mountains."
Hearing this, Li Fang's mouth twitched and he thought to himself:
"Your Highness, your metaphor is truly unique, but could you please not joke around at such a tense moment?"
However, he still answered respectfully.
"Don't worry, my lord. Although my eyes are not as sharp as those of an eagle, I am still good at identifying directions in these 100,000 mountains."
The group of people shuttled through the mountains and forests.
Sometimes it flies through the dense forest, startling flocks of colorful birds.
Sometimes it crosses the stream, splashing crystal water.
Ling Chenyu's mood also fluctuated with the scenery in the mountains. Sometimes he was as excited as a child, and sometimes he frowned, worried about Liu Yaoyao's safety.
"Your Majesty, why did Miss Liu come to this deep mountain forest? Could she be here to practice some unique martial arts to protect you in the future?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Li Fang tried to break the deadlock with a relaxed tone.
When Ling Chenyu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, but then he pretended to be serious and said.
"Li Fang, it's a pity that you don't use your imagination to write a storybook.
However, Yaoyao has her own reasons, and I believe her. However, these 100,000 mountains are full of dangers, how can I not worry? "
As they were talking, the two had arrived at a steep cliff.
Beneath the cliff, the clouds and mist rolled endlessly like boiling milk, and the deep darkness seemed to be able to swallow up all the light.
Even the most daring people in the martial arts world would feel their hearts tighten and their legs tremble when standing on the edge of this cliff.
But Prince Chen Ling Chenyu remained calm and composed, as if that was not a bottomless abyss but a secret passage leading to treasure.
"Li Fang, stop dawdling. Your hesitation is enough to make us drink a pot of tea! The princess's safety can't wait for your slow-motion replay!"
There was a hint of joking in Ling Chenyu's words, but the determination in his eyes was unquestionable.
He patted the horse's back gently, and the horse seemed to sense his master's eagerness.
It neighed softly, as if to say, "Go quickly, the master can't wait any longer!"
Li Fang felt so bitter when he heard Ling Chenyu's words, it was three times more bitter than coptis chinensis.
While silently praying in his heart that the prince was safe, he accelerated his movements, wishing he could throw the equipment directly to Ling Chenyu.
"Your Majesty, your style of traveling whenever you want is really something that makes me both love and fear you. I am afraid that if something happens to you, our palace will be in chaos..."
"Chaos? Haha, that's perfect, let those housekeepers who only know how to drink tea and chat every day experience what it feels like to have their heartbeats speed up!"
Ling Chenyu laughed a few times, and the laughter echoed in the mountains, as if even the wind became cheerful.
Finally, Li Fang stuffed all the ropes and other equipment into Ling Chenyu's hands, and checked them carefully over and over again, fearing that there would be any omissions.
Ling Chenyu looked confident as he began to dress in an orderly manner. He looked so serious, as if he was a general about to go to the battlefield, not just on an adventure.
"Your Majesty, you have so much equipment that you can open an outdoor gear store."
Li Fang joked from the side, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Of course, I want to be Yaoyao's best husband!"
Ling Chenyu raised his eyebrows proudly, and then changed the subject.
"But having said that, Li Fang, are you ready? We are about to jump into this unknown abyss together!"
"I'm ready, my lord!"
Li Fang took a deep breath. Although he was nervous, there was determination in his eyes.
None of the guards behind him were terrified.
As the prince's follower, you must keep up with the prince's pace, no matter how difficult the road ahead is.
The group of people moved forward slowly, one in front and one behind, along the edge of the cliff until they found a relatively flat place.
Ling Chenyu looked back at Li Fang, and a tacit understanding and trust that needed no words flowed between the few of them.
"Three, two, one, jump!"
Ling Chenyu shouted, then jumped into the clouds first, leaving behind only a handsome back and laughter echoing in the mountains.
Li Fang stumbled and almost failed to keep up with Ling Chenyu's graceful landing trajectory.
He dusted himself off and shouted in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, your Qinggong is truly astonishing. I almost thought I should make a tablet for you that reads 'Looking for the Missing Prince'!"
The corners of Ling Chenyu's mouth twitched even more violently.
"This guy is always challenging my bottom line of humour."
He turned around with a serious look and spoke nonsense in a serious manner.
"Li Fang, how can you mortals guess my lightness skill? Are you questioning my wind control skill?"
When everyone heard this, they all tried to hold back their laughter, and the atmosphere instantly became tense yet inexplicably funny.
The group slowly walked towards the thatched cottage which was a bit shabby but full of stories. Ling Chenyu's gaze involuntarily fell on Yueya's grave, and his expression became soft and complicated.
He sighed softly, as if he was reminiscing about the past, or looking forward to the future.
"Is this the place where Miss Crescent Moon rests forever? What a pity."
Ling Chenyu spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his tone.
"From now on, I will send people to burn more paper money for you, thank you for protecting Yaoyao."
Upon seeing this, Li Fang immediately put away his playful smile and spoke seriously.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will keep this in mind. If I have the chance in the future, I will plant flowers in front of this grave, so that Miss Crescent's resting place will be full of vitality and color."
"Hey, Li Fang, when did you become so artistic? Did you secretly learn some poetry or song?"
A straightforward brother in the team joked, causing everyone to laugh.
Ling Chenyu shook his head, the faint smile on the corner of his mouth was like a flower blooming inadvertently in spring, warm and subtle.
He looked around. This rare tranquility and harmony brought long-lost peace and joy to his weathered heart.
He patted Li Fang's shoulder gently, with just the right amount of force, neither losing dignity nor intimacy, and said with a smile:
"Alright, Li Fang, your Jianghu dance has come to an end for now. We have to get down to business. Hurry up and use your sharp eyes to search for our princess!"
When Li Fang heard this, he immediately stopped his weird dancing posture and patted his chest in a serious manner, as if he had accepted some sacred mission.
"Don't worry, my lord. I will launch a carpet search right away. I guarantee that not even an ant will be spared, let alone our beautiful princess!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, but then they all took action and began to search carefully inside and outside the thatched hut.
They searched through every box and even the thatched roof, for fear of missing any clues.
However, as time went by, a cruel reality gradually emerged before everyone.
There is no trace of Liu Yaoyao here.
The furnishings in the thatched hut were simple and old, and covered with dust. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
There was a faint musty smell in the air, which contrasted sharply with the vibrant campfire atmosphere outside.
Ling Chenyu frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure.
The journey to find a wife is indeed long and full of uncertainties.
Liu Yaoyao’s disappearance may be just a small episode in their long journey.
He looked around, his eyes firm and deep.
"Don't be discouraged, since there are no clues here, let's look somewhere else. Liu Yaoyao must be waiting for us somewhere."
Seeing this, Li Fang immediately agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty is right! Our princess is so smart, how could she be easily abducted?
She must have wandered off on her own and forgotten the way home. Let's just keep searching along this valley, and we'll definitely be able to find her!"
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and the haze in their hearts was swept away.
They cheered themselves up, packed their bags, and prepared to continue their journey to find Liu Yaoyao.
