He glanced at her and said matter-of-factly, “We need to find a place to take shelter from the rain; it looks like it’s about to start pouring any minute now.”
And it wasn’t going to be a light rain.
Having said that, he swung himself onto the horse and grabbed Su Yan’s arm to lift her up.
This time, he placed her behind him, instead of in front.
Once Su Yan had wrapped her arms around him tightly, he began to gallop at full speed.
If his guess was correct, a downpour would arrive in a matter of moments.
They were too late to return to the manor, so they had to find a nearby residence to take shelter temporarily.
Chu Yuxiao was right — it took only a few minutes for the sky to darken.
Then came the howling wind and flying sand and stones.
The wind was so strong that even Zhui Feng, a steed of exceptional caliber, struggled to advance, gradually slowing down.
Sheltered behind Chu Yuxiao, Su Yan, too, could feel the powerful wind, sometimes so strong that she couldn’t keep her eyes open.
She understood now why he had put her behind him — he wanted to shield her from the wind.
Clutching his waist tightly, Su Yan buried her face into his broad back, feeling incredibly cozy under his protection.

But she wasn’t scared at all because he was by her side.
She believed that no matter how severe the storm, he would always protect her…

Chu Yuxiao cracked his whip on the horse’s back, quickening their pace.
After walking through the raging storm for a full incense stick’s time, they finally spotted a few farmhouses.
They knocked on the door of one, briefly explained their situation.
The hospitable peasant couple invited them in to shelter from the rain and settled Zhui Feng in their stable.
The farmer’s wife, noticing their handsome features and sumptuous clothes, guessed that they must be from a wealthy background.
After leading them into a bedroom, she also found some fresh clothing for them to change into.
Even in plain, simple clothes, the two were unable to conceal the nobility and elegance that characterized them.
And Chu Yuxiao, now dressed in commoner’s garb, showed no trace of embarrassment or discomfort; he remained calm and serene, ever agreeable.
