When Haha Nu saw Li Yuan, he was stunned at first, then he sneered: "Hmph! Isn't this Li Wu? Why are you here? Are you here to escape the wildfire too?" His tone was full of sarcasm and provocation.

Li Yuan ignored Haha's sarcasm and looked around anxiously, looking for Li Jimian. Finally, deep in the cave, she saw the familiar figure - Li Jimian was curled up in a corner, looking tired and haggard.

"Brother!" Li Yuan shouted in surprise. She quickly walked to Li Jimian and hugged him tightly. "I finally found you! Come with me, there is a cave here where we can hide from the forest fire!"

When Li Jimian heard Li Yuan's voice, he was startled at first, then he opened his eyes. When he saw Li Yuan's face, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes: "Yuan'er? Why are you here? Are you also here to avoid the wildfire?" There was a hint of fatigue and weakness in his voice.

Li Yuan shook her head, her eyes revealing a hint of determination: "No! Brother, I'm here to save you! I know Shen Tunan is planning to set fire to the mountain, and I can't watch you die here! Come with me, let's leave here together!" As she said that, she took Li Jimian's hand and was about to walk out.

Li Jimian was shocked when he heard this. He stared at Li Yuan with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears. However, when he saw Li Yuan's determined eyes, he knew that all this was true. He was moved and held Li Yuan's hand, with a choked voice: "Yuan'er... Thank you... Thank you for saving me..." As he said this, he followed Li Yuan out.

At this moment, Ha Hanu blocked their way: "Hmph! Want to leave? Not that easy! Li Wu, you still haven't settled the debt you owe me!" His tone was full of threats and malice.

Li Yuan felt nervous when she saw this. She knew that Haha Nu was not easy to deal with, but she couldn't let him block her way. So, she gritted her teeth and said to Haha Nu, "Haha Nu, I don't have time to settle accounts with you now! If you still care about our old relationship, please make way for me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" There was a hint of determination and firmness in her tone.

Haha was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Li Yuan to be so determined. He stared into Li Yuan's eyes, as if to see her true thoughts. Finally, he snorted and made way for her: "Okay! Li Wu, I will let you go today! But next time we meet, don't blame me for being ruthless!" With that, he turned and left the cave.

The autumn wind was howling, but the cave was warm. Li Jimian and Li Yuan sat opposite each other, and both of them had a complicated look in their eyes. The firelight illuminated their faces and also the entanglement in their hearts.

"Yuan'er, I must marry another woman." Li Jimian's voice was low and firm, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. "This is for the benefit of the family and for my mission."

Li Yuan felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard this. She understood Li Jimian's situation and his choice. However, she could not accept this fact. She raised her head and stared into Li Jimian's eyes, her voice choking with sobs: "Brother, you clearly know my feelings. Why do you treat me like this? Why do you want to marry another woman?"

Li Jimian lowered his head. He couldn't face Li Yuan's questioning. He knew that his choice was hurtful to Li Yuan, but he had no choice. He could only grit his teeth and whispered, "Yuan'er, I'm sorry. This is a choice I have to make. Moreover, I plan to be an enemy of Xuan Youyan."

Li Yuan was shocked when she heard this. She stared at Li Jimian with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears. She knew that Hyun Woo-ryeon was Li Jimian's ally and his most important partner. She didn't understand why Li Jimian made such a decision. She anxiously grabbed Li Jimian's hand, with a hint of tears in her voice: "Brother, are you crazy? Why do you want to be an enemy of Hyun Woo-ryeon? Do you know how much danger this will bring to you?"

Li Jimian raised his head, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Yuan'er, there are some things you don't understand. I can't tell you the reason, but this is a choice I must make. Go away, leave me. I don't want to see you again." As he said that, he pushed Li Yuan's hand away, turned around and left the cave.

Li Yuan was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't understand why Li Jimian treated her like this, nor why he made such a dangerous choice. She could only watch Li Jimian leave, her heart filled with endless pain and loss. Peng Ni stood aside, watching all this silently, his heart also filled with loss and helplessness.

Outside the cave, it was already dark. Peng Ni stared into the distance, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that the entanglement between Li Yuan and Li Jimian could not be resolved, and he also knew that he could not stay here any longer. So, he made up his mind to leave this place that made him sad.

"I want to go to China." Peng Ni's voice was low and firm, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination, "There is nothing here worth staying for."
