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

Lin Yue took Han Liuyi to the outskirts of the city, and Han Liuyi stopped only when she could no longer hold on.

Seeing beads of sweat on her forehead, Lin Yue squatted down and said, "Liu Yi, I'll carry you."

Han Liuyi shook her head and sat down against the tree trunk.

"Brother, you should go back. I will definitely be punished if I go back. Miao Xin is dead, and his father may not cooperate with us anymore."

Lin Yue said: "Don't worry, Master loves you so much, he won't make things difficult for you, and it's not your fault anyway."

Han Liuyi said, "I am alive, but he is dead. Xijiang will definitely be angry with us." She tilted her head and looked at Luo Ye helplessly, "Did they receive the letter, so you came to help us?"

Lin Yue nodded and said, "Yes, luckily I arrived in time."

Han Liuyi sighed silently, and the two were speechless for a moment, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

Lin Yue stepped forward, held her shoulders and shook them: "Liu Yi, let's not go back! Let's go, anywhere is fine!"

Han Liuyi looked at him blankly and said, "Leave? Where can I go? If I leave, what will happen to Daddy?"

Lin Yue said: "Liu Yi, don't you want to live a good life? Let's go to a place where they can't find us, and stay together for the rest of our lives. You don't have to wear a mask anymore, okay?"

Speaking of masks, Han Liuyi realized that she had not disguised herself, and hurriedly pulled off the strap on her clothes and tied it around her chin to cover her face.

"Brother, I can't leave. My mother died when she gave birth to me, and it was my father who raised me to this age. How can I abandon him and go on my own?"

Her originally bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of haze.

Lin Yue's lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't say anything. Could he persuade Liu Yi to leave the father who had raised her since she was a child? Obviously not.

Han Liuyi suddenly sat up, grabbed his hand, and said, "Brother, go on your own. I'll say you died to protect me. They won't doubt it. Find a place to live well."

Lin Yue frowned and looked at her, unable to believe that these were words spoken by his junior sister.

He said, "Liu Yi, I can't abandon you. Let's go back together. I will be with you no matter what punishment you take."

Han Liuyi bit her lip and lowered her head in bewilderment. Lin Yue helped her up, and when he saw the tears on her face, he smiled bitterly and reached out to wipe them away for her.

"Why are you crying? Have you forgotten what we said when we were little?" Lin Yue squatted down and motioned for her to come up.

Han Liuyi obediently lay on him, her arms tightly grasping his neck.

"I said I will always protect you and support you."

The wind blew these words gently into her ears, but her heart couldn't help but feel heavy.

Han Liuyi leaned lightly against the back of his neck, letting the autumn breeze dry her tears.

Looking at the unfamiliar self in the mirror, He Xiaozhou asked in disbelief: "Will they really not recognize me?"

Miao Ke said: "As long as you don't get close to Gu Ling or other disguise masters, no one will recognize you."

He stood up and patted He Xiaozhou on the shoulder. "You don't need to do anything. Just find out the time when Gu Ling took the jade slip, and lead the way to find Miss Meng on the day we attack the Soul Devouring Palace."

He Xiaozhou's eyes widened, his pupils trembling slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you catch her, can you hand her over to me?"

Miao Ke glanced at him and said, "Okay, you want revenge? I'll give you an idea. When you threaten Gu Ling with her, you can do something."

He turned and walked towards the door, but suddenly stopped and turned to look at He Xiaozhou: "I guess... since his beloved girl was insulted in front of him, he wouldn't care about anything else, right?"

He Xiaozhou didn't say anything. To be honest, he was still a little scared. He knew all of Gu Ling's methods. If the plan failed, he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.

But with Miao Ke's help, the Soul Devouring Hall was missing two halls because of the last incident, and when Gu Ling went to get the jade slip, there were only a few people left in the hall, so the possibility of success was greater.

He Xiaozhou said: "I know what to do!"

Miao Ke smiled and pushed the door open to go out.

-

The rebellion in the palace had been cleared out, and it seemed that there were fewer people there.

Meng Yin asked: "There are so few people in the palace all of a sudden. Should we advertise and recruit some experts?"

Gu Ling said: "Don't worry, someone will come from the branch hall in two days."

Meng Yin nodded, played with a strand of hair hanging in front of him with her fingers, and said, "Are you going to get the jade slip tomorrow?"

Gu Ling held her hand and kissed her lightly on the lips: "Yes, Ayin, I will be back as soon as possible."

Meng Yin said softly, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. Then we can go find them."

She thought about the letters she had written to several people, but had not received any replies yet.

"Gu Ling, it's time to rest." Meng Yin said.

Gu Ling sat up, and Meng Yin followed suit. Their shadows blended and separated behind each other, very close.

After blowing out the lights, there was still some moonlight in the room. Gu Ling turned around and saw Meng Yin smiling with her eyes curved. He stretched out his hand, but Meng Yin dodged, grabbed the quilt and crawled in.

Gu Ling touched her forehead with his palm gently, then turned sideways to tuck the quilt in.

Hugging her with a clear conscience, Meng Yin leaned on his shoulder and asked, "By the way, how did you deal with those two people?"

Gu Ling said: "It's late, Ayin, I'll tell you tomorrow."

Meng Yin curled her lips and squeezed his palm in dissatisfaction: "Am I someone who would be afraid?"

Gu Ling smiled and said, "No." He leaned down a little and rubbed her forehead with his cheek. "He was beheaded and his head was hung at the city gate for public display."

Meng Yin thought of what happened that night, frowned, and said, "He's cruel enough. He's worthy of being the man I like."

The smile on Gu Ling's lips widened. He liked the way Meng Yin praised him and only had eyes for him, which made him feel extremely happy.

"So I have to be ruthless too." Meng Yin said.

Her tone was sly, half serious and half joking. Gu Ling could imagine the mischievous brilliance in her bright and round eyes.

But he was still worried and said, "Duan Yan and Qiao Yi will stay to protect you. Don't hurt yourself."

Meng Yin said lightly: "Don't worry, although Duan Yan is a playful kid, her martial arts skills are not bad, not to mention Qiao Yi."

Gu Ling said: "They have been in the palace since they were young, so their martial arts must be strong."

Meng Yin said: "Okay, anyway, don't worry, just take the jade slip with peace of mind, and when you get the jade slip--"

"Let's get married." Gu Ling took over the conversation.

Meng Yin had the same idea. If they got the jade slip and got married, then Taozi and the others would come to Qilin City.

I guess I'll have to attend two wedding banquets by then. Meng Yin thought to herself, her thoughts quickly drifted away, she slowly closed her eyes, and her breathing became even. Gu Ling originally thought she was unhappy, and was about to pretend to kiss her, but she had already fallen asleep.

He pursed his lips and smiled, and couldn't help but think of the scene when they got married.

Times have really changed. He would never have dreamed of these things a few years ago.

When he thought of the oath, his heart suddenly ached. Gu Ling frowned and hugged the person in his arms tighter.

In the cool autumn days, some are happy and some are sad, some are reunited and some are separated.

-

At daybreak, Gu Ling got up quietly, leaned over and kissed her blushing cheek, then looked at her lingeringly for a while before leaving.

An hour later, Meng Yin slowly woke up. The maid came to help her wash and dress. After a quick wash, Meng Yin called Duan Yan and Qiao Yi.

Duan Yan yawned and said, "They left so early today that I was woken up."

Meng Yin bit the bun and looked at her suspiciously.

Duan Yan was not assigned to look for the jade slip, so why was she woken up? Did the brother and sister live together? Or was the noise outside the yard too loud?

She didn't think too much about it and said to Qiao Yi, "Qiao Yi, go tell Gu Huai to wait for me at the restaurant where we met last time."

"Yes." Qiao Yi accepted the order.
