After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"What!? So you deliberately lied to me last night?" Meng Yin glared at him angrily after hearing Gu Ling's explanation.

Gu Ling held her hand tighter and asked with a smile, "How did Ah Yin fall for his trick?"

Meng Yin curled her lips: "What he said is exactly what I was worried about!"

"Don't worry." Gu Ling grabbed her white fingers and played with them in his hand.

Yesterday, since Gu Ling was not at home the whole afternoon, Lu Yun did not tell Gu Ling what Zhang Su had told them until the evening.

Lu Yun was his confidant, and he had long known that he had to get rid of Zhang Su, but he had never expected that he would be so stupid as to go to Lu Yun to do things for him. Hearing this news, Gu Ling could not help but sneer.

It just so happened that he had no excuse to get rid of Zhang Su, so he took advantage of this opportunity. He thought those old guys in the palace would not dare to say anything.

"So Zhang Su's goal is to alienate you and your servant? I thought he really wanted me to leave!" Meng Yin said.

"If I don't kill them, the master and servant will be alienated. If I kill them, people in the palace will think that I am not a good candidate and I am killing innocent people indiscriminately." Gu Ling explained.

"Zhang Su is an undercover agent, and he only knows how to do these things." Meng Yin said angrily, "Then why did you do that on purpose yesterday? Did you just want to quarrel with me?"

Gu Ling leaned his head against her shoulder and said, "No, I originally thought that A Yin would not listen to him."

Meng Yin lowered her eyes. It was normal for Gu Ling to think this way since he didn't know she would leave in the future.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that she looked strange, Gu Ling raised his head and reached out to lift her chin.

"Hmph, if I didn't come to see you today, would we be doomed?" Meng Yin asked.

"No." Gu Ling shook his head, "I was planning to come to you after I finished my work today."

He lied. He deliberately asked Qiao Yi to call her, hoping to take the opportunity to take her away and let her stay with him forever.

"Then why did Ayin suddenly change his mind?" he asked.

"Because I think that since I like you, I have to try my best to stand with you!" Meng Yin made an encouraging gesture, full of fighting spirit.

"Okay, whatever Ayin wants to do, I will support her." He said, playing with her hair.

Meng Yin pushed him and stood up.

"Qiao Yi, come in for a moment."

Qiao Yi pushed the door open and came in, bowing and saying, "Miss Meng."

Meng Yin walked forward, took her arm and walked aside.

"Qiao Yi, spread today's events to the palace and the outside world. The main point of the propaganda is that Gu Ling is careful and cautious. When encountering a suspicious case, he will investigate it thoroughly before taking action. He has the behavior and character of not tolerating any sand in his eyes."

"Yes, Qiao Yi understands." Her eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Meng Yin with a hint of guilt.

"Hehe!" Meng Yin clapped his hands, feeling very proud.

After listening to Gu Ling today, she realized that Gu Ling had not neglected his career at all. In fact, the majority of people in the palace supported him, and the rest were just wavering.

If the two of them work together in the future, won’t the position of Palace Master be easy to obtain?

Meng Yin smiled secretly, not noticing that Gu Ling was slowly approaching her from behind.

He hugged her and asked softly, "Ayin, what are you laughing at?"

Meng Yin turned around and winked at him: "Laugh, I finally have a boyfriend!"

He's a handsome, rich, possessive man with muscular abs. She loves him to death.

Gu Ling smiled, reached out to grab her chin, bent down and kissed the corner of her lips.

"Gu Ling! You hooligan!" Her face instantly turned red and she pushed him away and stepped back.

"Didn't Ayin kiss you first?" His face was white and tender, and he was very thick-skinned.

"You!" Meng Yin was so angry that she could only hit him with her fist.

While the two were playing upstairs, Zhang Su in the dungeon had been tortured to death by the poisonous insects.

Before his death, Lu Yun told him that Gu Ling just wanted to get rid of him and deliberately spread rumors about his absurd life so that he would come to him.

"Zifei, come with me to meet someone outside." Yian walked outside the yard and said to the people who were practicing sword inside.

"Yes, sir." He put away his sword and followed.

"Sir, are we going to see Mr. Han again?" Zifei asked.

Yi An nodded: "That's right, although the Xiaoyao Sect was eliminated, he was not affected."

"Who is this Mr. Han?" Zifei asked subconsciously.

"All I can say is that he is not an ordinary person." Yi An said.

Zifei nodded and looked up to see a dispute happening in front of him. A woman dressed in red and green was standing among a group of men in linen clothes, and was pushing a petite girl.

"Young Master, why don't we change the route? Yichun Tower seems to be ahead." He walked to Yi'an and said softly.

Yi An glanced over there calmly and said, "No problem."

Zifei nodded, and the two of them walked forward slowly without even looking at the group of people.

Yichunlou is the brothel here, and their situation is probably a forced sale.

Yi An was thinking about other things. The girl rushed forward and threw herself at his feet, hugging his legs as if she had seen a savior.

"Young Master!" Zifei shouted and reached out to pull the woman away, but was stopped by Yian.

The girl was covered in mud, and now she grabbed Yi An, staining his light-colored clothes. Yi An wanted to grab her neck, but he was stunned the moment the girl raised her head.

His heart, which had been wrapped in ice, suddenly melted, and he helped her up with trembling hands.

The people from Yichun Tower stepped forward, and a big man suddenly pulled the woman's collar from behind.

"Master, save me!" she cried out, her almond-shaped eyes were red, as if she had been crying for a long time, and her cheeks were red and swollen, probably because she was beaten.

Yi'an's eyes seemed to be welded to her face, and Zifei was also stunned, because this girl actually looked 80% like the Miss Tao that the young master asked him to inquire about!

The moment Yi An saw her face, he almost doubted his eyes. Tao Tao was still in Yi Qing Mansion, how could she have fallen into the mortal world?

The woman in slightly revealing clothes twisted her hips and walked forward, chuckling, "Sir, I'm sorry to make you laugh. This girl was newly bought yesterday. She tried to escape today but we caught her. Why don't you go inside and take a look?"

"How much?" He didn't even look at the woman, but just looked at the girl.

She hunched her shoulders and looked at him pitifully. This face and these eyes looked very much like her.

"Sir, do you mean... to buy her?" the woman said with a smile.

"Yes." Yi An glanced at her, and the woman felt an inexplicable chill on her back. This man seemed gentle, but he gave people an unreasonable feeling of oppression.

She pointed with her finger: "This number."

Yi An looked at Zi Fei: "Give it to her."

Zifei took out the silver and handed it to the woman.

The woman took the money and the big men followed her back, leaving only three people at the scene.

"Thank you for saving my life." The little girl crossed her arms and looked at him with trembling eyelashes.

Yi An curled the corners of his mouth and reached out to touch her cheek.

She stretched her legs a little. The man in front of her was handsome and gentle, but the look in his eyes was strange, a mixture of joy and sadness, as if he had known her for a long time.

She bit her lip and looked at him silently.

"Zifei, go tell him that I have something to do today and we can discuss it another day."

"Yes."

After Zifei left, he gently stroked her delicate chin with his fingers, which was covered with some dirt.

"Come with me, okay?" he asked softly, his voice bewitching.

The girl blushed, she was sold by her family to pay off debts, and now she met a kind-hearted person who saved her, she couldn't go back to that wolf's den!

"The young master bought me, so I should go with him," she said.

"So good." Yi An took off his coat and put it on her.

I wish she could be as good as you.

-

After returning home, Yi An asked someone to prepare hot water and gave her his clothes.

After washing, Xunyan put on much larger clothes and went to find him barefoot.

Yi'an was drinking in the study. When he heard the knock on the door, he let her in.

She was still a little scared. The white shirt seemed like it would fall off her at any time. When she walked forward, the clothes slipped off her shoulders, revealing her round and plump shoulders underneath.

Xunyan stood there, twiddling his fingers nervously.

Yi An raised his eyelids to look at her. The person in front of him kept changing, from white clothes to pink clothes, from uneasy to gentle and lovely.

He suddenly laughed and murmured to himself: "A Tao..."
