While writing to Ye Jing, Liu Huizhou pulled out a letter he had received not long ago, which he had not yet opened.
He always assumed the carrier pigeon was delivering a letter from his junior sister, and thus never read it.
But after opening it, he found out that his master had sent a message long ago, saying that his junior sister had secretly run down to find him and hoped that he could go to find her.
Liu Huizhou suddenly tightened his grip, causing the letter to wrinkle slightly, and a sudden wave of regret rose in the man's heart.
If he had read the letter and found his junior sister back then, would this have prevented this from happening?
Liu Huizhou picked up his pen and wrote a letter, telling his master that his junior sister had been taken away by villains and that he was preparing to go and rescue her, but he was outnumbered and outmatched.
As Liu Huizhou wrote this sentence, his pen lingered in his hand.
He had always thought that he was quite skilled in martial arts among the younger generation, but now he realized that he couldn't do anything on his own.
First, Shuyue was kidnapped, and now it's his junior sister who's been taken away. But there's nothing he can do about it.
But if it needs to be written, it still needs to be written.
After tying the letter to the carrier pigeon's leg, Liu Huizhou watched the pigeon fly away and felt a pang of sadness.

Liu Yin noticed that the sounds outside had suddenly quieted down, so she lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Suddenly, the crowd became restless. Yuncheng had excellent feng shui, and the people who grew up here were all good-looking, but they had never seen anyone as beautiful and fragile as this.
Xie Nanzhou glanced back, then slowed down and rode his horse alongside Liu Yin.
"You rest for a while, and I'll take you to see the lanterns here tonight," Xie Nanzhou said gently.
Today is a perfect day, as tonight is Yuncheng's annual Lantern Festival, a day when unmarried men and women can pledge their love.
On this day, if a lantern is presented and accepted, it is considered a declaration of love. This is a long-standing custom in Yuncheng.
Although Xie Nanzhou had never participated before, he understood this point.
Liu Yin looked up at the smile on his face and nodded, "Mm."
The man clearly restrained his emotions, but after Liu Yin agreed, he couldn't help himself and his anticipation grew.
