Chang Yaozu felt a pang of heartache.
He immediately put down a bag and hugged Xu Yu tightly: "Yu'er, don't worry, God is on our side. You've suffered so much, God surely hopes that you will have a better future! We will definitely be able to return to the capital safely!"

"The train can't move! What do we do now?" Chang Yaozu's heart ached.
