Late at night, Meng Yin felt a warm touch on his forehead while he was sleeping.

She reached out her hand dazedly and slapped the thing covering her forehead.

Gu Ling knelt on one knee at the head of her bed, holding an oil lamp in one hand and gently stroking her forehead with the other, murmuring, "Why is your face so red?"

As if she heard his voice, Meng Yin opened her eyes reflexively and happened to meet Gu Ling's eyes who was looking at her.

"Ayin, did I wake you up?" he asked deliberately.

Meng Yin blinked her eyes, and after seeing who it was, she suddenly became much clearer, and a feeling of grievance suddenly surged in her heart.

She hugged Gu Ling, and Gu Ling immediately put down the oil lamp, fearing that he would hurt her.

"Gu Ling, someone wants to harm us..." Because she just woke up, her voice was soft and had a hint of tears.

"What?" Gu Ling sat on her bed, held her face with his big hands, and looked at her, "Ayin, what happened?"

Seeing that he cared about her so much, Meng Yin felt even more aggrieved and told him everything that happened during the day.

Gu Ling's face was extremely gloomy. He was silent for a second, then suddenly stood up, with murderous aura all over his body.

Meng Yin held his hand and asked, "Where are you going?"

Gu Ling turned around and said, "Kill those lazy people."

Meng Yin knew that he was talking about leaving her men behind to protect her, and was worried that he might hurt innocent people. She stood up in a hurry, but was tripped by the quilt entangled between her legs and fell directly towards Gu Ling.

Gu Ling was quick to act and held her firmly.

Meng Yin sat in his arms and stroked his cheek with her slightly cold hands: "Don't go, don't blame them, I asked them to look for other clues."

Gu Ling pursed her lips slightly, her dark eyes moving across her face.

Meng Yin had no choice but to lean over and kiss him on the mouth.

"This is not a simple matter. We will discuss it in detail tomorrow."

"Ayin, it's my fault that I failed to protect you." He held her and sat down, burying his head in her neck, his voice trembling a little.

Meng Yin shook her head: "How can I blame you? If you want to blame someone, blame those people. They even interfere with your relationship! They live by the sea and yet they interfere so much!"

Gu Ling raised his head, pressed his face against hers, and said, "From now on, I will take you with me wherever I go, and I will never leave you alone."

Meng Yin smiled and touched his nose with her finger, saying, "Silly boy, I'm not afraid. I've long anticipated that I'll face these storms with you."

Gu Ling still looked at her with pity. He hoped that Meng Yin could be free every day with him instead of living on the edge of a knife.

He leaned over, pressed his lips against Meng Yin's, and gently traced the shape of her beautiful lips.

Meng Yin blushed, but still responded to his actions.

She glanced at the ball on the table and whimpered a few times. Gu Ling raised his head slightly, and the two of them maintained an ambiguous distance.

"That ball, Gu Ling, do you know what it is?" Meng Yin said.

Gu Ling picked it up and took a look at it. "This is explosives."

"Explosives?" Meng Yin frowned and nodded.

Gu Ling took the thing into his arms and said, "This thing is not safe. Ah Yin, where did you get it from?"

"This belongs to Miss Han. It shouldn't be strange for her to have something like this." Meng Yin said, and suddenly yawned, "I'm so sleepy."

Gu Ling touched her cheek, his eyes full of tenderness: "Go to sleep, Ayin, I'll leave when you fall asleep."

-

After Meng Yin fell asleep, Gu Ling tucked in the quilt for her, leaned over and kissed her between the eyebrows, then left reluctantly.

He came to the outer courtyard and found Yiqing and the other two were there.

"Are you sure it was done by someone from Bishui Villa?" Yiqing asked.

Xiahou Yu shook his head: "It's not like you don't know Zhong Ziyi."

"Well, I am also more inclined to believe that someone framed Bishui Villa." Pei Xuanxi said.

"There's no point in saying these things. Let's go to Bishui Villa tomorrow." Gu Ling said as he slowly walked towards the gate.

Behind the wall of the courtyard gate, Han Liuyi was thinking about what they said. Gu Ling held his breath, so she didn't notice.

Do they know anyone from Bishui Villa? Han Liuyi thought, stroking his chin.

A shadow enveloped her. Han Liuyi looked up and saw Gu Ling's frighteningly pale face and extremely black pupils under the moonlight.

"Mr. Gu...Mr. Gu, good evening." She immediately adjusted her expression, secretly sighing at the man's strong martial arts skills. She didn't even notice it.

"Ms. Han, what are you doing?" Yiqing suddenly appeared, folded his arms, and looked at her thoughtfully.

Seeing the two people's unsurprised looks, Han Liuyi realized that they had known she was here for a long time.

"I was just passing by. I didn't mean to listen to your conversation. Sorry." She smiled awkwardly, her fair little face looking particularly harmless, without any trace of lying.

"Really?" Gu Ling glanced at her indifferently.

"Okay, I'll go back first. Please tell Miss Tao and the other two that I'm very grateful to them for saving me today." Han Liuyi stood straight, raised his arms in a bow, and spoke very seriously.

Without waiting for their reply, she ran back.

Back in the house, she patted her chest with lingering fear.

They are going to Bishui Villa? Han Liuyi bit her lip, and shouted in her heart that something was wrong.

She had never expected that several of them would know the owner of Bishui Villa.

It seems that she has no choice but to take the risk.

She climbed through the window and returned to the inn as quickly as possible.

Lin Yue happened to come back from outside, and when he saw her, he almost thought he had seen her wrong.

"Liu Yi! Are you okay?" He was overjoyed and walked forward to grab her arm and looked all over her body.

Han Liuyi pulled him back into the house and said, "I'm fine."

Lin Yue frowned and asked, "What happened today? I saw you haven't come back for so long, I thought something happened."

She took out a pen and paper and told him what had happened while she wrote.

Lin Yue sat down and murmured, "So that's how it is."

He stared at Han Liuyi's delicate profile and said, "Liuyi, they saved you, and you still want to..."

Han Liuyi stopped and turned to look at him, her expression full of helplessness: "I can't help it, he is my father, how can I not stand by him?"

Lin Yue fell silent. This was indeed an unsolvable problem.

Just like he always stands on Liu Yi's side.

After Han Liuyi finished writing, she walked to the bed and whistled. A gray pigeon flew down and stood on the windowsill, turning its head constantly.

Han Liuyi put the letter on it, smoothed its fur, and said, "Give it to Nanmen Jian!"

The gray pigeon flew away, and she stood there looking at the full moon in the sky, feeling melancholy.

Lin Yue looked at her slender back and sighed in his heart.

-

"Is it so sudden? Are we going to Bishui Villa today?" Meng Yin suddenly stopped biting the bun and looked at Gu Ling with her clear big eyes.

Gu Ling reached out and tucked the hair on her cheek behind her ear, saying, "If it was really done by Bishui Villa, then we will destroy it and let the whole world see the consequences of playing tricks."

"Oh, I see." Meng Yin nodded and continued to eat the bun in her hand.

After packing up their things, they boarded the carriage to leave Lianyun City.

Xu Zheng leaned back on the cushion and sighed, "I didn't expect that we would have to leave Lianyun City so soon this time."

"I've only been in Lianyun City for a few days, and I've encountered so many things." Meng Yin couldn't help shivering when she thought of what happened yesterday.

"Let's help them find the jade slips." She stretched and crossed her legs comfortably.

"Girls, can I join you?"

The four of them looked at each other and drew aside the curtain.

Han Liuyi was riding on a horse, wearing a white tight-fitting waistcoat, looking so clean and neat.

"Ms. Han, how do you know where we are going?" Xia Nian looked at her and asked.
