Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Hearing this, Yan Qianqian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then if you want to return to Shenyi Gu, do you also have to go through the illusion array?"

Yun Lan smiled faintly and nodded, replying, "Of course, but we have our own method of breaking it. The array master will tell us the method, so we can enter and exit the illusion array smoothly."

"However, this method of breaking it cannot be easily passed on to outsiders, after all, the illusion array was set up to protect the secrets and safety within the valley."

After hearing this, Yan Qianqian seemed unsatisfied with the answer, and she continued to press, "Then what if one of you betrays the group and brings outsiders through the illusion array?"

Yun Lan's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Such a situation has indeed never happened. However, if it really happens, then the barrier is definitely not something anyone can enter at will."

"To enter the barrier, one must meet specific conditions: either possess a token, or possess the bloodline of the valley master. That is why we suspected Yan Jie, thinking he might be my grandfather's grandson through a daughter."

"After all, he has no token, so the only explanation is that he possesses the valley master's bloodline."

Standing beside them, Yan Jie listened quietly to Yun Lan's explanation, and a feeling of emotion surged in his heart.

He sighed, "This illusion array and barrier are actually so miraculous and complex, truly astonishing! No wonder Shenyi Gu has always maintained such a mysterious veil, unknown to the outside world."

Yun Lan agreed with Yan Jie's sentiment, nodding as he said, "That's right. This illusion array and barrier are not only an important barrier guarding the secrets of the valley, but also a solid protective umbrella for us. Their existence allows Shenyi Gu to remain apart from the noise and turmoil of the outside world, maintaining that tranquility and mystery."

The three chatted and laughed merrily in the carriage, time passing quickly, and before they knew it, they had already arrived at the inn at the foot of the mountain.

Yan Qianqian excitedly lifted the carriage curtain and immediately saw the familiar inn, shouting loudly, "Second Aunt, it's that inn ahead!"

Wei Shengsheng heard her voice and immediately slowed the carriage, stopping the carriage first when they reached the inn.

Yan Qianqian turned to Bai Yunlan and said, "Second Brother, we'll get off first to tidy up our things, you wait in the carriage for a moment." Bai Yunlan smiled and replied, "Alright."

Yan Qianqian and Yan Jie jumped down from the carriage together, while Wei Shengsheng had already ridden her horse up to Yan Qianqian. Yan Qianqian hurriedly said, "Second Aunt, wait a moment, we'll be right there." Wei Shengsheng smiled and answered, "Alright, no rush."

Next, Yan Qianqian led Yan Jie quickly into the inn. They quickly settled the lodging fees and tidied up their luggage. At this moment, the shop assistant led out two horses, one was Yan Qianqian's Xiao Hong, and the other was Yan Jie's Xiao Ni.

Yan Qianqian skillfully took hold of Xiao Hong, and Yan Jie easily took hold of Xiao Ni. Yan Qianqian nimbly mounted her horse in one fluid motion. Watching them, Wei Shengsheng couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my, you two ride really well!"

Yan Qianqian smiled proudly and said, "Of course, these were all given to us by my father!"

Wei Shengsheng smiled and said, "That's perfect, the three of us riding horses together will definitely be fun!" Yan Jie looked at the road ahead and said to Wei Shengsheng, "Second Aunt, I'll still ride a bit slower, otherwise sitting in the carriage would be steadier."

After hearing this, Wei Shengsheng smiled and replied, "That works too, so that little brat won't start shouting inside the carriage by himself."

Thus, Yan Jie turned back into the carriage and rode together with Bai Yunlan. Meanwhile, Yan Qianqian rode with Wei Shengsheng, going at the very front of the group to clear the way for everyone.

At first, Wei Shengsheng specially took care of Yan Qianqian, riding side by side with her.

However, not long after, Wei Shengsheng surprisingly discovered that no matter how fast she rode, Yan Qianqian could keep up closely. This made Wei Shengsheng instantly excited, she picked up her whip and gradually increased her speed.

Yan Qianqian sensed Wei Shengsheng's change, thinking she just wanted to ride a bit faster, so she also increased her speed. But who could have imagined that Wei Shengsheng rode faster and faster, and finally even began to gallop recklessly.

Seeing this, Yan Qianqian felt somewhat worried, fearing that Wei Shengsheng galloping like this would cause trouble. So, without hesitation, she urged her horse to catch up. Finally, Yan Qianqian caught up to Wei Shengsheng.

However, Wei Shengsheng had no intention of slowing down, and instead shouted excitedly at the approaching Yan Qianqian, "Qianqian, let's have a horse race!"

Yan Qianqian responded with a worried expression, "Second Aunt, please be careful! Running too fast and too far, Grandpa Bai will worry!"

Wei Shengsheng said with a relaxed expression, "It's fine, we're both grown up, what is there to worry about? Since I'm in high spirits now, how about we have a horse race? Whoever reaches that tree first wins!" As she spoke, she pointed her finger toward a large tree in the distance.

That tree was indeed very eye-catching, it was exceptionally sturdy, like a crane standing among chickens, appearing particularly conspicuous in a forest. As soon as Wei Shengsheng's words fell, she shot out like an arrow leaving the bow, with such speed that it was astonishing.

Seeing this, Yan Qianqian did not dare to be slow, and hurriedly waved her whip, chasing with all her might. Although she was slightly a step behind, her speed was not slow either, and she soon shortened the distance between herself and Wei Shengsheng.

Wei Shengsheng looked back and saw that Yan Qianqian was almost catching up to her, so she immediately increased her speed again, galloping away like a gust of wind. Seeing this, Yan Qianqian could only grit her teeth, use all her strength, and chase desperately.

As the speed increased, Yan Qianqian only felt the wind whistling by her ears, as if it wanted to blow her ears off. She even felt that this might be the fastest she had ever ridden a horse in her life.

Meanwhile, the people in the two carriages were not idle either. Bai Yunlan seemed to be unable to sit still anymore, so he went and sat beside the driver, leisurely appreciating the scenery outside the carriage.

Yan Jie, on the other hand, poked his head out of the carriage, also curiously looking at the world outside.

He saw Wei Shengsheng and Yan Qianqian racing horses not far away, and running farther and farther, so he smiled and said to Bai Yunlan, "Second Brother, look how fast Second Aunt is running, she's almost out of sight!"

Bai Yunlan smiled faintly and replied, "It's nothing, my mother has always been like this, she is just so hasty and impetuous."
