The next day, just after daybreak, Tao Tao packed up and waited for Yiqing.

After much thought, she took out a pen and paper and left a letter for Yi An, writing that she already knew that all these things were his conspiracy, that she had been deceived, and told him that they would have nothing to do with each other from now on.

She wanted to confront him face to face, but Yi'an was too unfathomable and she couldn't imagine what he would do.

Tao Tao suddenly remembered the hair accessories that Yi An had given her before, which were still placed on the dressing table.

She picked up the hair accessory, stroked the peach blossoms on it with her fingers, and suddenly felt melancholy.

She was so stupid to believe him for so long.

If it weren't for Yiqing, I would probably have been kept in the dark and used as a pawn by him.

Tao Tao sighed and prepared to press the hair accessory on the letter and return it to him.

As soon as she turned around, Tao Tao bumped into a hard chest, which scared her.

"Yiqing, why are you walking so quietly?" Tao Tao glanced at him, and before she could take a step, Yiqing grabbed her wrist.

"Who gave you this?" Yiqing asked.

Tao Tao picked it up and said, "It was given by Yi An. I plan to return it to him."

Seeing Yiqing's face darken, she added, "I left a letter saying that we can no longer be friends."

Yiqing let go of her and said angrily, "You are so considerate."

Tao Tao chuckled: "Are you throwing a tantrum so early in the morning?" She put the hair accessories on the table and suddenly remembered that she had not returned the flower goddess costume.

"Oh no, the Flower Goddess has put me in Xiahou Mansion."

Yiqing waved his hand: "Who cares? It doesn't matter. You won't be able to wear it anymore anyway."

Tao Tao nodded helplessly: "Yes, yes, yes."

When Yiqing saw that she was done, he picked up Tao Tao's bag, jumped out of the window, and carried her out again.

"Why are we going this way?" Tao Tao felt like they were thieves.

Yi Qing was stunned, "I'm used to climbing through windows."

"..."

He picked up Tao Tao horizontally and flew away.

It was particularly cool in the morning. The breeze blew across her and Yiqing's faces, and Tao Tao felt as sweet as if she had eaten nectar.

"Aqing, I'm so happy." She said with a smile.

Yi Qing lowered his eyes to look at her smiling face, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Is it because you left that place?"

Tao Tao shook her head and nodded: "Well... and I can be with Nian Nian and the others again."

She paused and murmured sheepishly, "And being with you."

Yiqing's cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He stopped on the roof of a house and looked down at her. His clear eyes were full of tenderness for her: "Me too."

Tao Tao was already a little embarrassed, and when she heard him say that, she immediately buried her face in his chest in embarrassment.

Yi Qing let out low laughs from his throat, weighed the person in his arms, and flew away.

Halfway through the flight, Tao Tao discovered that they were not flying towards Xiahou Mansion, but towards the city gate.

Tao Tao soon saw the carriage from Xiahou Mansion. Meng Yin and Xia Nian were standing outside waiting for her, with Xiahou Yu next to Xia Nian.

To her surprise, the person driving the carriage was a girl.

A Shuo and Xiao Xian were also riding on horses.

Yiqing landed steadily and gently put Tao Tao down.

"Taozi!" Meng Yin immediately ran up and hugged her.

Tao Tao smiled and said, "Yin Yin, Nian Nian."

Xia Nian followed behind and said, "Taozi, Yinyin and I will help you put away your things."

Tao Tao took their arms and said, "Thank you. By the way, she looked around.

"Lin Yue, who saved Yinyin before, and the miracle doctor are also going to Xiaoyao City?"

Xia Nian shook his head and pulled her into the carriage: "I saw them a few days ago, but I haven't seen them since."

Tao Tao sat down and nodded: "Is that so." She looked at Qiao Yi who was sitting in front of her and asked, "Who is this girl?"

"Her name is Qiao Yi. She was sent by Gu Ling to protect me. She's going to Xiaoyao City with us," Meng Yin said while eating a bun. "We're finally going to Xiaoyao City and can see A Zheng!"

Xia Nian joked, "You don't just want to see A Zheng, do you?"

Meng Yin chuckled: "Hey, don't expose me."

The carriage started on the road, they needed to get to Xiaoyao City as soon as possible.

Halfway through the walk, Yiqing couldn't help but come to talk to Tao Tao. He leaned over and asked, "A Tao, are you bored sitting inside? Do you want to come out and get some fresh air?"

Tao Tao lifted the curtain, smiled and shook her head: "Not tired." She looked down at the white horse under his crotch, "Yiqing, does your butt hurt when you ride a horse?"

Yiqing shook his head and said, "No, we are used to it."

Tao Tao nodded, smiled at him, and lowered the curtain.

Meng Yin inside was smiling like an auntie, stroking her chin and looking at her.

"Hey, Taozi, are you and Yiqing so close?" Meng Yin rushed to her side and hugged her shoulders. "Tell me honestly how far it has developed?"

Tao Tao's cheeks suddenly turned red. She gently pushed Meng Yin and kept stirring with her fingers: "What step?"

"Taozi, are you... together?" Xia Nian asked.

Tao Tao lowered her head and said, "I told him that I would give him an answer after this matter is over, but I am still a little confused now."

She raised her head, a layer of mist appeared in her almond eyes, "I'm still considering whether to be with him. If we are really together, I really want to have a result with him."

Xia Nian lowered his eyes and understood her concerns.

"Taozi just cares too much about the results." Meng Yin waved her hands and suddenly thought of something. "Oh my god, I remember they don't have the concept of dating here. They seem to get married directly!"

Tao Tao nodded and said, "I've thought about this too. If I decide to be with him, I will make it clear to him."

Meng Yin nodded and held her hand: "Taozi, don't suppress yourself too much. Do whatever makes you happy. We haven't even started to go back yet. It's okay for you to have a relationship first."

Tao Tao nodded and smiled softly, "Thank you Yinyin."

Meng Yin leaned on her shoulder: "Why are you thanking me? Haha."

After persuading Tao Tao, Meng Yin couldn't help but think of her and Gu Ling.

The two of them are extremely ambiguous now, so she should not break the veil for the time being.

Xia Nian took out the book the old man gave them, and the moment she opened it, golden light shone from inside.

"Oh my god, it's the same as last time!" Meng Yin exclaimed.

Gradually, the golden light disappeared. The three of them came forward to take a look, and it clearly stated what had happened in Ziyang City.

But it also wrote things they didn’t know, such as after the bridge was bombed, Zi Yang City cancelled the election for the Flower God Crown this year.

Xia Nian closed the book and put it back. She looked at Tao Tao: "Taozi, how did you deal with Yi An's matter?"

Tao Tao looked calm: "I didn't tell him in person. I didn't feel that way before, but now that I know everything, I feel that he is very scary and very good at disguising himself. I just left him a letter and left."

She thought for a moment and then added, "And I also returned the hair accessories he gave me before."

Speaking of this, Meng Yin on the side suddenly jumped up, eyes widened: "Hair accessories! Damn, how could I forget about this!"

"What's wrong?" Xia Nian asked immediately.

"The last time Taozi and I received hair accessories and bracelets, it was Yi'an and Gu Huai. They were together at the time. They couldn't be... in the same group?" Meng Yin frowned.

Xia Nian bit her lip and said, "We haven't seen Gu Huai for a long time, but they might really be in the same group."

She looked at Meng Yin, and their eyes met.

Meng Yin nodded heavily, remembering what she had heard Gu Huai say before.

"Tsk, what do you think of this old guy? Except for A Zheng, the ones we encountered when we first came here were not the other three demon kings." Meng Yin spread out his hands and fell on the cushion in despair.

"It caused us a lot of trouble."

Xia Nian pondered for a while and said, "Maybe... he can only send us to an approximate place, not to a specific person."

Meng Yin waved her hands resignedly: "Forget it, now that we have figured it out, we can use whatever tricks they have. Who is afraid of who?"

The two were amused by her and the atmosphere became lively again.
