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

Two men lifted Tao Tao up, and one of the bearded men smiled and said, "Boss, we need to catch a few more. This girl is so pretty, it would be a shame to give her to that guy!"

The man he called the boss slapped him on the head and cursed, "You are stupid! With money, what kind of woman can't you touch? We are still three or four short, we have to hurry, otherwise we will all be dead if that guy gets angry!"

The bearded man touched his head and said "oh", and the next second, a stone hit him in the face.

"Who!" He covered his face and shouted, then looked up and saw a man in blue squatting on the wall of the alley with a stone in his hand.

"I'll give you three seconds to let her go." Yi Qing lowered his eyes and looked at the two of them, saying coldly.

"Where did you come from, pretty boy? You want to be a hero, right?" the bearded man pointed at him and yelled.

Yiqing flicked his finger lightly and hit his eye accurately.

"Ah! My eyes..." The bearded man covered his eyes and screamed in pain.

The man next to him saw that Yiqing was a martial artist and his martial arts skills were probably better than theirs, so he quickly said, "Hey, young man, I don't think we have offended you. We are all from the underworld, so why don't we..."

"From the underworld?" Yi Qing stood up, folding his arms across his chest, "Who says I'm from the underworld?"

He jumped down and kicked the man in the chest.

The man didn't expect that he would attack without saying a word, and he fell to the ground violently. Yi Qing was quick to pick up Tao Tao who was leaning against the wall.

The man spat out a mouthful of blood: "You... who are you?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? You kidnapped someone in broad daylight? Tell me, who ordered you to do this?" Yi Qing held Tao Tao in one hand and drew his sword from his waist with the other.

The man stared at him and said nothing.

Yiqing grinned. He just liked to torture such tough guys.

The bearded man next to him picked up a dagger and attacked him.

Yiqing raised his leg and kicked him on the genitals, "You won't tell me, right? Then your thing is in danger." He slashed the bearded man's pants with his sword. The sword reflected a creepy light, which scared the bearded man so much that he kept begging for mercy.

"No...no! Please, I'll tell you everything!"

"Yes...it was Pan Huyang's son. Pan Guang asked us to do it...He bought a dozen girls, saying that he wanted to use their blood to make medicine, but he was still short of ten. So he asked us to come out and kidnap ten of them and take them back. Don't kill me! Don't kill me..." He cried out, almost peeing his pants with fright.

Yiqing's eyes suddenly widened. He had heard that the city lord here bullied men and women long before coming to Zhaoding City. He didn't expect that his son dared to be so rampant and completely inhumane!

Yiqing looked at their disgusting faces, then looked at Tao Tao in his arms.

She closed her eyes tightly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she bit her lips nervously.

Yiqing looked at the back of her neck, a streak of green was particularly obvious on her fair skin. He remembered what the two beasts had just said, and with a sharp knife, he cut their tendons in their hands and feet, and pressed their mute points.

Yiqing took out a cylindrical object and shot it into the sky.

With a whoosh, a red light appeared in the sky.

Within a few minutes, several people wearing the same clothes arrived here.

They had a round token hanging around their waists with the word "Qian" written on it.

"Young Master." Several people bowed and saluted.

"Take these two back and lock them up. Remember, don't alert the enemy." He said gritting his teeth.

"Yes!"

Yiqing retracted his sword, bent down, picked up Tao Tao, and flew away.

He took Tao Tao into the private room of his restaurant, laid her on the couch, and pressed several of her acupoints.

Tao Tao frowned and slowly opened her eyes.

"Ah!" Yi Qing looked down at her, which scared Tao Tao.

"Master Yi... why am I here?" Tao Tao propped herself up and felt a pain in the back of her neck, "It hurts..."

Yiqing folded his arms and said calmly, "You were kidnapped and happened to meet me."

"Kidnapping?" Tao Tao's already big eyes widened even wider.

She had a sad face and said aggrievedly, "Why am I always kidnapped?"

As Tao Tao spoke, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Yiqing was stunned when he saw her eyes turn red. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he said, "It's not your fault. I have already dealt with those two guys. You don't have to worry."

Tao Tao looked at him, and her watery eyes made his heart soften.

"Why did they kidnap me?" Tao Tao asked.

Yiqing didn't want to hide it from her and told her what the man said.

"What!?" Tao Tao covered her mouth and stood up.

"What's wrong?" Yiqing saw her big reaction and thought she was scared.

Tao Tao told him about Xia Nian and Meng Yin's hiring of someone.

"I see." Yi Qing nodded. He looked at Tao Tao and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I have my own way."

Tao Tao bit her lip and sat down. She believed in Yiqing's ability, but this matter... might really require their help.

Suddenly, she smelled the scent of soul-calling grass again.

"By the way, I came here specifically to see you." Tao Tao sat down and said.

"Looking for me?" Yi Qing raised an eyebrow, "What do you want me for?"

Tao Tao took a deep breath: "Will you be angry if I tell you?"

She was almost certain that someone wanted to harm Yiqing.

"That depends on what it is." Yiqing said truthfully.

Tao Tao nodded and told him about the soul-calling grass.

"It's normal that you can't smell it. This is one of my abilities. I was born with a very sensitive sense of smell. Ordinary people can't smell the soul-calling grass at all." Tao Tao saw that he clenched his fists and hurriedly comforted him.

"Someone wants to harm me." He suddenly let go of her hand with an indifferent expression.

"Who... wants to harm you?" His reaction made Tao Tao a little worried.

She thought he would be angry, smash things, and order people to call a doctor, but she didn't expect him to react like this, as if he found this harmful trick very normal.

"I can roughly guess it." A figure emerged in his mind, his good second uncle - Yi An.

Tao Tao grabbed his arm and said, "Don't worry. You don't have those symptoms now, which means the soul-inducing grass hasn't harmed you yet. We just need to find the source of the soul-inducing grass in time."

Yiqing glanced at her fair wrist and smiled slightly, "Are you not afraid of me now?"

Tao Tao was stunned. Why wasn't this person on the same wavelength as her?

"I wasn't really afraid of you before..." Tao Tao said stubbornly.

"Then why are you hiding from me?" Yiqing asked.

Tao Tao felt a little helpless. Why did this grown man in front of her keep focusing on this question? The important thing now was whether she was afraid of him or not?

"That's not the point!" She raised her voice slightly, hoping he would be more serious. "Do you usually come into contact with anything?"

Yiqing pondered for a while and shook his head: "No, I usually live alone."

Tao Tao bent down, moved closer to him, and sniffed his chest.

Yiqing's ears turned slightly red, his body stiffened slightly, and he turned his head away uncomfortably.

"If you soak clothes in water filled with soul-calling grass, they will also be stained with the smell." Tao Tao raised her head and looked at him.

Yiqing suddenly remembered that his clothes were washed by a girl named Banmeng.

Originally, there were people in the church who specialized in washing clothes. Later, Wang Yuan rescued a girl from outside, whose name was Ban Meng. He said that the girl was homeless and wanted to find a job for her. So she stayed in the church and specialized in washing clothes.

Yiqing clenched his fists and was almost certain of his thoughts.
