The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

At the same time, Qiu Yu was leading Xie Fei through the layers of clouds and mist, heading towards the top of the empty mountain. His steps were steady and powerful, and each step seemed to contain a certain rhythm, which complemented the continuous autumn rain.

Xie Fei was held hostage by Qiu Yu, and her eyes were filled with anger and helplessness. She tried to resist, but Qiu Yu's martial arts were so profound that she couldn't escape at all. Now, she could only hope that Hao Yu could notice her predicament and come to rescue her in time.

"Qiuyu, where are you taking me?" Xie Fei couldn't help but ask. Her voice sounded particularly cold in the autumn rain, but it also revealed a subtle tremor.

Qiu Yu didn't look back, but said calmly: "Let's go to a place where there are only two of us. There, you can tell me the secret of 'Jiaowei'."

"Don't even think about it!" Xie Fei gritted his teeth and said, "I will never betray my family and country."

Qiuyu chuckled, and that chuckle sounded particularly strange in the autumn rain. "Xie Fei, do you think you are loyal? In this chaotic world, what can loyalty bring? Power, wealth, or love? I tell you, only when you control your own destiny can you be truly loyal."

Xie Fei was startled when she heard this. She had never thought that Qiu Yu would have such profound insights. She couldn't help but begin to doubt whether her loyalty was really meaningful. But she quickly shook her head and dispelled these distracting thoughts from her mind.

"Qiu Yu, you are wrong. Loyalty is not a bargaining chip to be exchanged for anything. It is a belief and a responsibility. I am willing to give everything for my family and country, including my life."

Qiu Yu paused for a moment, and turned to look at Xie Fei, with a complicated look in his eyes. He had never seen such a determined look, which contained both anger and indomitable will. He couldn't help but start to wonder if he could really shake Xie Fei's faith.

But soon, he withdrew his gaze and continued to move towards the top of the empty mountain. He knew that only there could he find the real answer. And Xie Fei was just a key to his search for the answer.

On the top of the empty mountain, clouds and mist lingered, like a fairyland. But in this fairyland, endless dangers were hidden. Qiuyu brought Xie Fei to the edge of a cliff, where there was a protruding rock, and on the rock was a guqin. The guqin was simple and elegant, and it was the legendary "Jiaowei".

"Xie Fei, look." Qiu Yu pointed at the guqin and said, "This is the 'Jiaowei' that your family has guarded for generations. But it is not just a guqin, it also hides a huge secret. A secret that can change the situation of this chaotic world."

Xie Fei was shocked when she heard this. She had never heard of such a secret of "Jiaowei". But she knew that Qiuyu would never reveal this secret easily. She had to stay calm and look for a chance to escape.

"Qiuyu, what exactly do you want?" Xie Fei asked calmly.

Qiu Yu smiled slightly, and that smile revealed a strange charm. "It's very simple. As long as you tell me the secret of 'Jiaowei', I will let you go."

Xie Fei shook his head. "I won't tell you. You can't get any information from me."

Qiu Yu's face darkened slightly, but soon returned to calm, "Xie Fei, don't force me. I have countless ways to make you speak. But I don't want to hurt you, after all..."

He suddenly stopped talking here, as if there was something difficult to say. Xie Fei took the opportunity to say: "After all, what? Qiuyu, you don't actually want to be my enemy. You are just pursuing a goal that you think is right. But do you know? Sometimes, the goal is not the most important, the process is the key to everything."

Qiu Yu was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought that Xie Fei would have such profound insights. He began to re-examine his actions and purposes, wondering if they were really worth the price he paid.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, bringing the sound of bells from the distant palace. The sound of the bells was melodious and profound, as if telling some ancient legend. An inexplicable impulse suddenly surged in Qiu Yu's heart. He wanted to give up everything and return to the world he once knew.

But he knew that he couldn't turn back. He looked at Xie Fei deeply, then turned and walked towards the cliff. "Xie Fei, you are right. But I can't turn back. I will find the secret of 'Scorched Tail', no matter what the cost."

After saying that, he leaped off the cliff, leaving Xie Fei alone on the top of the cliff, looking at the endless clouds and the sound of the distant bell.

In the palace, Haoyu and Wei An had already learned that Qiuyu had taken Xie Fei to the top of the empty mountain. They immediately assembled the most elite guards and martial arts masters to rescue Xie Fei.

Haoyu rode on his horse, holding a long sword, his eyes were firm and cold. He had only one thought in his mind: no matter what, he had to save Xie Fei. She was not only his best friend, but also his only concern in this chaotic world.

Wei An followed closely beside Haoyu, his face also full of worry and determination. He knew that this battle was not only to rescue Xie Fei, but also to maintain the stability of the court and the peace of the country.
