The man continued to scream, and after just a few minutes, red, vein-like things broke out on his face.

The people around were terrified. Gu Ling stood up, clapped his hands, and looked around.

Those people lowered their heads, fearing that they would be the next one.

"This is the result if you don't follow orders." Lu Yun glanced at them, his face livid.

Gu Ling looked at him, and Lu Yun immediately understood. He took out paper and pen and asked the leader to write a letter to the mastermind behind them.

"Write, you succeeded, let them wait in peace." Gu Ling sat on the chair, supporting his forehead with his fingers and tapping his crossed legs.

The leader swallowed and didn't dare to look up at him.

He couldn't help but hate the person who had let them set up the ambush, while he himself sat on the couch enjoying himself and let them face this demon.

After the letter was written and sent out, Gu Ling stood up and rubbed his eyebrows.

He picked up the pouch at his waist and sniffed it.

There was still that sweet scent of jasmine in there, as if Ayin was right in front of him.

Gu Ling lowered his eyes, thinking about her very much.

Fortunately, they only have a few days left before they can return to normal.

Just when he was about to rest, Qiao Yi's carrier pigeon flew down.

Gu Ling frowned, feeling a little uneasy: Could it be that something happened to A Yin! ?

He reached out to take the letter and then realized that his hands were shaking.

Meng Yin's position in his heart has far exceeded his imagination.

Lu Yun was beside him and saw his trembling fingers, thinking that something big had happened.

Gu Ling took the letter and opened it quickly. Inside was Meng Yin's crooked calligraphy.

His heart was finally at ease, and tenderness appeared in his eyes.

"Master Gu, what happened?" Lu Yun asked from the side.

Gu Ling never took his eyes off the letter. He suppressed his inner joy and said, "No problem. Tell the brothers to take turns on duty at night."

"Yes." Lu Yun nodded.

Gu Ling walked into the room, raised the kerosene lamp, leaned against the windowsill and read the letter Meng Yin wrote to him.

The letter described her daily life over the past two days, some of her ramblings, and a lot of cute little emoticons.

It was as if his A Yin was standing in front of him, with lively expressions and exaggerated movements.

With a smile on his face, Gu Ling read Meng Yin's letter word by word repeatedly.

In the last paragraph, Meng Yin said that she felt the life without him was a bit boring, which made Gu Ling really want to go back to her immediately.

His Ayin, his Ayin can't live without him.

Gu Ling put away the letter, folded it neatly and put it in his arms.

Ever since he met Meng Yin, he truly felt that he was a living person who was cared for.

Meng Yin is a simple-minded person, and he actually feels a sense of belonging with her.

Gu Ling finally couldn't help it and sat on the couch with a sneer.

He decided that as soon as the matter in Wushan was over, he would express his feelings to Meng Yin.

Even though he said it many times in front of Meng Yin, it was not formal enough.

On the day when he officially took over the Soul Devouring Palace and became the patriarch of the Gu family, he asked for three matchmakers, six betrothals, and eight sedan chair bearers to make Meng Yin his only wife.

He belongs to Meng Yin in this life, and Meng Yin is also his, and will always be his.

Lu Yun was standing outside, drowning in the water, and had a clear view of Gu Ling's reaction.

He probably guessed who wrote the letter, and his worry grew even more.

Just like Qiao Yi's worries, Lord Gu has not yet officially taken over the Soul-Devouring Palace. Having a loved one means having a soft spot and weaknesses.

Xu Zheng and Pei Xuanxi have been in Xiaoyao City for several days.

These days, Pei Xuanxi took her to walk around the streets and ate a lot of delicious food.

But Pei Xuanxi had to go out today for something, and left A Yan to protect her closely.

Xu Zheng felt bored in the courtyard, so she wrote a letter to Xia Nian and the others and ran out to play.

Recently she has become fascinated with storytelling. The tone of the storytellers often makes her laugh, and Pei Xuanxi usually takes her to tell stories.

Now Xu Zheng saw that Ah Yan always had a stern face and was serious, so she couldn't help but wonder if he could laugh. So she took him to listen to books.

They went to a teahouse and ordered some candied fruits. Because of Pei Xuanxi's instructions, Ah Yan directly reserved a good seat.

After Xu Zheng sat down, A'yan was still standing behind her, his body as firm as a pine tree.

"Hey, A'yan, please sit down!" Xu Zheng turned her head and said.

Ah Yan shook his head and said, "The owner of the building told me to take good care of Miss Xu. Miss Xu is the master and I am the servant. We cannot sit at the same table."

"What the hell?" Xu Zheng was shocked when she heard this. She stood up and patted his arm. "Sit down when I told you to."

A'Yan dodged to the side, feeling uneasy about Xu Zheng's contact.

"I'll go." Xu Zheng put her hands on her hips, "Okay, I'm the master, right? Then I order you to sit down now."

"..." Ah Yan raised his pair of cold eyes, a little hesitant.

"If you don't want to sit, let's go outside and have a duel. If you win, you don't have to sit!" Xu Zheng gestured with his fist and said through gritted teeth.

Ah Yan nodded and sat down.

It is unknown whether he can beat Xu Zheng, but he definitely cannot beat his own master.

And he wouldn't hit a woman.

Xu Zheng nodded with satisfaction. As soon as she sat down, she saw the waiter running up to her, wiping his sweat and looking apologetic.

"I'm sorry, miss, this seat... has been reserved by a guest," he said.

Xu Zheng stood up suddenly: "How is it possible? There was no one there when we arrived!"

The waiter rubbed his hands, it was indeed true, but their store couldn't afford to offend that person!

"How about this, I'd like to change your seat?" said the waiter.

Xu Zheng narrowed her eyes and slammed the table: "Impossible, first come first served!"

The waiter looked a little embarrassed. Ah Yan at the side said, "Who wants this seat? Please ask him to come and talk to you in person."

The waiter nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Xu Zheng sat down and drummed the table with her fingers angrily.

"Ayan, do you know who it is?" she turned her head and asked.

Ah Yan thought for a while and said, "I'm not really sure either."

"Tsk, no matter who he is, I won't give up this position." Xu Zheng curled her lips, her face full of disdain.

With a bang, the door of this private room was suddenly kicked open.

The two looked towards the door and saw a woman in red, followed by a tall man with rugged features.

The woman had a heroic look and a sword on her waist. She held her head high like a proud red-crowned crane.

Xu Zheng narrowed his eyes, stood up and walked towards them.

"Who kicked the door?" she asked.

"What can you do about me?" The woman folded her arms in front of her and looked at Xu Zheng.

"Tsk, who are you? You're so nice." Xu Zheng fanned the air in front of her, as if she smelled bad.

The woman's face darkened. The burly man behind her stepped forward, pointed at Xu Zheng and said, "How dare you talk to our second in command like that!?"

"Second in command?" Xu Zheng smiled, "I've never heard of him."

When Xiao Ruiniang saw her attitude, she immediately became furious. Since her Xiaoyao Sect had grown stronger, no one had dared to talk to her like this.

She was about to lose her temper when the waiter immediately ran to Xu Zheng.

"Miss, you'd better leave quickly. That person is Xiao Ruiniang, the second in command of the Xiaoyao Sect. We cannot afford to offend her!" He whispered beside Xu Zheng, fearing that the people opposite would hear him.

Xu Zheng raised her eyebrows and deliberately said loudly: "Really? What the hell is the Xiaoyao Sect?"

"What did you say!" Xiao Ruiniang stretched out her sharp nails and pointed at Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng hardly even glanced at her. Xiaoyao Sect? Wasn't it the sect that Pei Xuanxi mentioned was colluding with that old man? If she took out the Pei family token, these two would be scared to death.

"I was wondering what's wrong with you?" Xu Zheng fiddled with her fingers, smiling playfully.

“Don’t think you are…” The man behind walked forward. He was so heavy that several people felt the ground shaking when he walked.

Xiao Ruiniang stretched out her hand to stop him and glared at Xu Zheng fiercely.

"Don't be impulsive. She dares to do this, there may be some powerful force behind her." Xiao Ruiniang said.

The man suppressed his anger and nodded.

Xu Zheng looked closely and saw his dark neck, which was covered with tiny, dense pimple-like things.

She rubbed her arms. It had been many years since she had taken a bath.

Xiao Rui Niang snorted coldly, and before leaving with the man, she did not forget to say something harsh: "Don't let me catch you."
