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

Meng Yin had nothing to do, so she went to the restaurant first and didn't let Gu Huai wait for her.

She sat in a chair, drinking tea leisurely.

The door was pushed open, and Gu Huai saw Meng Yin sitting in a chair in a daze.

"Miss Meng," he said, "I've been waiting for a long time."

Meng Yin shook her head. She didn’t wait long.

When she saw Gu Huai, she thought of what he said and shuddered unconsciously.

"Thanks to you for what happened last time. Thank you." Meng Yin thanked sincerely.

Gu Huai sat down and said, "You're welcome. I volunteer."

Meng Yin looked calm and said, "What reward do you want? You helped me, so I must thank you."

Gu Huai supported his forehead with two fingers and lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking.

After a while, a smile appeared on his fair face. He was about to speak but was interrupted by Meng Yin.

"Please don't say anything like pledge your love to me. Although you like me, I only like Gu Ling, so you should give up. Think about it, I will still be your sister-in-law in the future..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly realized the subtle relationship between the three people and was stunned for a moment.

Gu Huai felt a little bitter in his heart, but he still smiled: "No, I don't want any reward. I will get what I want in a few days."

Meng Yin stood up and said with wide eyes: "Please don't do anything bad." She sat down and muttered: "I persuaded Gu Ling for a long time before he didn't do anything to you."

Gu Huai naturally heard her words and couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking, "There's no need for him to do anything."

"No, I just think that maybe something good will happen in a few days," he said.

Meng Yin smiled and said, "That's right, now that everything is done, how can there not be good things?"

She suddenly smelled an indescribable scent, sweet yet pungent, an indescribable feeling.

Glancing at Gu Huai's still pale face, she thought, maybe that was the medicine Gu Huai took.

Meng Yin said: "Gu Huai, is your illness serious? I'll ask a miracle doctor to come and help you."

Gu Huai said: "It's okay, it's just an old problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain inside and a fishy-sweet taste in his throat.

At this time, Ah You happened to push the door open and said, "Sir, it's time to go back and take medicine."

Gu Huai stood up, holding back his discomfort, and said, "I'll go back first."

"Oh, okay." Meng Yin said. Why did she feel that Gu Huai looked even paler than before?

Gu Huai tried his best to support himself on the table so that Meng Yin wouldn't find out anything.

When they reached the door, he turned his head and looked at her again, with some strange feelings in his eyes, which scared Meng Yin so much that she lowered her head and pretended not to see it.

When they got to the street, Ah You said worriedly, "Sir, you are in such a bad condition. You should go out less often. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Gu Huai said: "It's okay. Has the person I asked you to find prepared the things?"

Ah You said, "Everything is ready, sir, but...are you sure you don't want to discuss this with Miss Meng?"

Gu Huai shook his head, his tone light but full of determination: "No need, she won't agree, and she will hate me."

Ayou was puzzled. Since he knew that Miss Meng would hate him, why did he still do it?

"Yes, sir." Ayou said, and he suddenly remembered something else, "Sir, there is news that... they brought people to Qilin City, could it be..."

Gu Huai sneered: "I know what they want to do. They want to take advantage of Gu Ling to get the jade slip to attack the Soul Devouring Palace. What a bunch of idiots."

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, and another possibility emerged in his mind.

So what if they attacked the Soul Devouring Hall? There are also branch halls. When Gu Ling gets the jade slip, everyone in the hall will listen to him, and Pei Xuanxi and the other two will help him. They must have other purposes!

Meng Yin's smiling face flashed before Gu Huai's eyes. He understood that the last plan was Meng Yin's idea. They should know how important Meng Yin was to Gu Ling, and they wanted to capture her to threaten Meng Yin!

Gu Huai turned around and wanted to go back and tell Meng Yin, but on second thought, he stopped.

Aren’t these people’s actions giving themselves opportunities?

His fingers moved, but in the end he didn't go.

He said in his heart: "Sorry, let me be selfish just this once."

Meng Yin, Duan Yan and Qiao Yi went out for a walk until the afternoon before returning. Meng Yin pulled and dragged the two of them to try on many skirts, and then bought them for them with a wave of her hand.

The three of them were playing around, and in the evening, someone suddenly came from outside with a message.

Meng Yin ate the roast chicken and asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant said, "There's a young man outside, he said he was someone close to Master Gu, he said he had something to tell the young lady."

Meng Yin subconsciously thought it was Ayou. Thinking that Gu Huai had already thought about the reward he wanted, she let him in.

After a while, Ah You came into the house and said, "Miss Meng."

Meng Yin asked: "Ayou, has your master decided what reward he wants?"

Meng Yin thought to herself: Gu Huai is quite thin-skinned. He was too embarrassed to talk to me alone, so he sent Ah You here.

Ah You shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with this matter. Miss Meng, our master asked me to come and borrow a set of clothes from you. He just redeemed a girl on the road. Her figure is about the same as yours. Now the shops are basically closed, so the master asked me to ask the girl for help."

"Is that so?" Meng Yin swallowed the candied haws, "Qiao Yi, go to my room and get a new set."

She looked at Ayou and said, "Tell your lord that you don't have to return it. I don't have enough clothes to wear."

Ah You nodded, took a few steps forward, and whispered, "Miss Meng, our Master would like to ask one more question, have the remaining evildoers in the palace been cleared out?"

Meng Yin said: "It's clean now. Tell him to worry less and take good care of himself."

Ah You smiled and said, "Yes, but the young master has always been careful. It was night time, so if someone ran away, it is not impossible that they were confused."

Meng Yin was stunned. Somehow, that figure flashed through her mind again.

The dress was brought over, Ayou took it, thanked him and left.

Meng Yin was still thinking, but Ah You's words reminded her of something wrong. Who was that figure that night? Why did he run away?

They definitely weren't from the First or Second Hall. Those people were surrounded in the middle. They must be the people following them. But there was no reason for them to suddenly run away.

Could it be someone who was not involved in either side?

As the sky darkened, Meng Yin felt a little uneasy. She waved to Qiao Yi to come over and said, "Qiao Yi, go and call them to the front to gather. I need to check on them."

Qiao Yi looked outside and said, "Madam, now?"

Meng Yin said: "Yes, there is no time to lose."

Qiao Yi nodded and immediately stood up to call for help.

Duan Yan asked in confusion: "Sister Yin, why are you checking on us all of a sudden? Didn't we count the people this morning?"

Meng Yin suppressed her uneasiness and said, "I'm worried about one less or one more."

When she said this, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside, and the rustling sound was a bit creepy. Duan Yan couldn't help but shiver.

For no reason, there is one more or one less person. It's so weird.

-

Ah You handed the things to Gu Huai and said, "I have delivered all the messages, sir."

Gu Huai put the clothes on the table, stroked the collar with his slender fingers, and said, "Is the hint in place?"

Ah You said, "Yes, Miss Meng is so smart, I think it won't be difficult for her."

He hesitated again and said, "Sir, aren't you worried that something might happen to Miss Meng?"

Gu Huai said: "I'm worried. I'll tell her in the evening."

"But... don't you want to..."

Gu Huai chuckled: "I won't let anything happen to her, but I want Gu Ling to think that something happened to her."

Ayou scratched his face. He really couldn't understand what his master was thinking.

Gu Huai picked up the clothes and said, "Go tell the hired tailor that the style can be simple, but it must be exquisite. The fabric is ready and it will be made according to this size."

Ah You took it and said, "Yes, sir."

He stepped back, Gu Huai sat on the chair, and turned to look at the lonely moon outside the window.

He would be unwilling to leave alone like this.

Gu Huai raised a faint smile. Ah Yin, if I tell you this and help you save the Soul Devouring Hall, will you hate me less?

He picked up the teacup, swirled his fingers gently, and saw the fragrant tea leaves inside. He thought to himself, "He has everything in this life. I only ask for you."
