Yang Ji took advantage of Chen Jue's absence and came to the door of Chen Jia's room. He knocked gently. Chen Jia opened the door and was surprised to see Yang Ji.

"Mr. Yang, is there anything wrong?" Chen Jia asked.

Yang Ji looked at Chen Jia with tenderness in his eyes.

"Miss Chen, I want to talk to you. I know you may find me annoying, but I really like you. I hope you can give me a chance to prove my sincerity."

Chen Jia shook her head and said, "Mr. Yang, I have told you many times that I don't have that kind of feeling for you. It is impossible for me and my brother to be separated."

Yang Ji said unwillingly: "Can't you give me a little hope? Even just a little bit."

Chen Jia looked at Yang Ji, feeling a little reluctant. She knew that Yang Ji was a good person, but they were not destined to be together. So, she decided to have a good talk with Yang Ji and make him give up completely.

"Young Master Yang, listen to me. Jue and I grew up together and have been through a lot together. When I was very young, I accidentally fell into a river and it was Jue who jumped into the river and saved me without hesitation. He was just a child at that time, but he was very brave and responsible. From then on, I knew that Jue would be my lifelong support."

Yang Ji listened quietly, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

Chen Jia continued, "Another time, we encountered a pack of wolves in the mountains. In order to protect me, Jue led the wolves away by himself. He was seriously injured, but he never complained. He always put my safety first, and for me, he could do anything. Master Yang, can you understand the relationship between us?"

Yang Ji was silent for a long time, then he sighed softly.

"Miss Chen, I understand. I am too persistent. I wish you happiness."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Chen Jia looked at Yang Ji's departing back, feeling somewhat emotional. She knew that her refusal might make Yang Ji sad, but there was nothing she could do about it.

After Chen Jia returned to the room, Chen Jue just came back.

Chen Jue noticed that Chen Jia looked a little strange, so he asked, "Sister, what's wrong? Is that Yang Ji bothering you again?"

"No, I just talked to Yang Ji and made him give up completely."

"He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"No, Yang Ji is a good man, but we are not destined to be together. I told him about our past, and he should understand."

"Sister, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. We will never be apart."

"Ajue, it's great to have you. We have been through so much, we must be fine in the future."

Chen Jue nodded and said, "Yes, sister, we will. When we return to Kyoto, we will start a new life."

Chen Jia and Chen Jue decided to give part of the money to the escort agency as a token of their care and help along the way. They found the captain of the escort team and expressed their gratitude.

"Captain, thank you for your care during this period. We would like to give you some money as a thank you," said Chen Jia.

The captain declined, "No need, it's not easy for you. We are all together by fate, and we should help each other."

"Captain, please accept this. This is a small token of our appreciation. If we have the chance in the future, we will definitely repay you."

Finally, the captain accepted the money. Chen Jia and Chen Jue said goodbye to the escort team and set off on their journey home.

Along the way, Chen Jia and Chen Jue were in a very relaxed mood. They finally got rid of Yang Ji's entanglement and could go home with peace of mind.

"Ajue, what do you think will happen after we return to Kyoto?" Chen Jia asked.

"Sister, don't worry. We will definitely be able to live a peaceful life. We can find a quiet place to live and do something we like."

"Yeah, I hope so. But after going through so much, I think we should cherish our current life more."

"Sister, you are right. We must be good to each other in the future and never let each other get hurt again."

After a long journey, they finally returned to Kyoto. When they walked to the gate of Kyoto, they saw a familiar figure waiting for them there. This person was Wei Lang.

When Wei Lang saw Chen Jia and Chen Jue, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"You are finally back! I have been waiting for you."

"Wei Lang, why are you here?" Chen Jia asked.

Wei Lang said, "Ever since I learned that you were in danger at the bottom of the cliff, I have been very worried about you. I sent people to look for you everywhere, but there has been no news. These days, I have been looking forward to your safe return day and night."

Chen Jue wanted to decline Wei Lang's kindness and said, "Wei Lang, thank you for your concern. But we don't want to trouble you. We can handle it ourselves."

As Chen Jue spoke, he shook his head slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Wei Lang said hurriedly: "Chen Jue, you can't say that. The current situation is very dangerous. King Jin and King Zhao have been secretly sending people to assassinate you. It is too unsafe for you to come back alone. I will protect you and bring you to the capital safely. You must trust me."

Chen Jue hesitated for a moment. He knew that he was going to meet the prince, and now they were indeed the two of them coming back alone and were in a dangerous situation.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, Wei Lang, thank you for your help."

They got on the carriage prepared by Wei Lang.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little awkward. Chen Jia and Chen Jue didn't know what to say, and Wei Lang was also a little nervous.

Wei Lang was the first to break the silence and said, "Chen Jue, Chen Jia, you must have suffered a lot at the bottom of the cliff."

Chen Jia forced a smile and said, "Yeah, but it's all over. Luckily we are lucky enough to come back alive."

As Chen Jia spoke, she reached out and smoothed her hair.

Chen Jue continued, "Wei Lang, this time it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't been waiting for us here, we wouldn't know what to do."

Chen Jue nodded slightly, his eyes full of gratitude.

Wei Lang waved his hand and said, "We are friends. This is what I should do. Don't worry, I will definitely protect your safety."

However, despite Wei Lang's words, the atmosphere in the carriage was still awkward. They didn't know how to continue the topic and could only remain silent.

The carriage was moving slowly on the streets of Kyoto, and Chen Jue and Chen Jia were feeling very complicated.

After Chen Jue was hurriedly taken away by the prince's men, Chen Jia stood there, feeling a little worried and uneasy.

At this time, Wei Lang came forward and said with a smile: "Miss Chen, don't worry too much. Chen Jue will go to see the prince, there will be no problem. I am a little tired after escorting you all the way. I wonder if we can go to the Duke's Mansion to have a cup of tea and rest for a while?"

Chen Jia was slightly stunned. She wanted to refuse. After all, she was not very familiar with Wei Lang.

However, Wei Lang escorted them all the way back and helped them a lot at this critical moment, so it was difficult to refuse his request.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded gently and said, "Mr. Wei, you are too polite. Please come into the Duke's Mansion and have a cup of tea."

Wei Lang showed joy on his face and followed Chen Jia into the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke's Mansion was elegantly decorated, exuding a noble atmosphere. Chen Jia brought Wei Lang to the living room and ordered the servants to prepare tea.

After a while, the tea was served. Chen Jia bowed slightly and said, "Master Wei, please have some tea."

Wei Lang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised: "Good tea, the tea from the Duke's Mansion is indeed extraordinary."

Chen Jia smiled faintly and said, "Master Wei, you are too kind. Thank you for your escort today. If it weren't for you, we don't know what troubles we would have encountered."

Wei Lang put down the teacup, looked at Chen Jia, and said sincerely: "Miss Chen, you don't have to be polite. I am just doing my best. I have always been worried about your safety. Now that I see you return safely, I am relieved."

Chen Jia felt touched. She didn't expect Wei Lang to be so loyal and righteous.

She said softly, "We will always remember Master Wei's kindness. If we have the chance in the future, we will definitely repay you."

Wei Lang smiled and said, "Miss Chen, you are too polite. Chen Jue and I are also friends. It is natural for friends to help each other."

The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. However, Chen Jia was still worried about Chen Jue, wondering what kind of situation he would encounter with the prince.

Wei Lang seemed to see through her thoughts and comforted her, "Miss Chen, don't worry too much. Chen Jue is smart and intelligent, and is deeply trusted by the prince. Nothing will happen."

Chen Jia nodded and said, "I hope so."

Just then, a servant came running over and whispered something in Chen Jia's ear.

Chen Jia's expression changed slightly. She stood up and said to Wei Lang, "Master Wei, I'm sorry, there are some things in the mansion that I need to deal with. Please sit here for a while, I'll be back soon."

Wei Lang nodded and said, "Miss Chen, please go ahead."

After Chen Jia left the living room, Wei Lang sat there alone, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
