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

Ye Man wiped her tears and said, "What should I do? Where will he take Sister Tao..."

Meng Yin handed him a handkerchief and cursed: "That bastard, he took advantage of Taozi's kindness like this before!"

After hearing what Ye Man said, Xia Nian thought about it carefully and frowned, "He must have done something else. He used Xiao Man to threaten Tao Zi and wanted to kill Xiao Man just to prevent us from knowing that he did it."

She paused, her hands tightening around the handles of the chair. "Now that we know, he knows we will look for him... He will hide with Taozi for the rest of his life. What will he do to achieve his original goal? Let's give up looking for them."

Xia Nian looked at Xia Houyu inquiringly. Xia Houyu said, "Yi An is a man with too many thoughts. We didn't think he would get himself involved before, but the bridge was blown up because of him. Maybe he has several plans in mind."

Xia Nian supported his head with his hands uncomfortably, and there was silence in the room.

"Have you told Yiqing about this?" Meng Yin suddenly asked.

Gu Ling said: "Send him a message, asking him to be careful along the way. They are on their way back."

Meng Yin said: "Yiqing has a straightforward temper. You must hold him down and don't let him act rashly."

Gu Ling nodded and handed her the tea.

Meng Yin placed her arms on the table, her hands tightly gripping the teacup, her head lowered. It was not until Gu Ling grabbed her hand that she realized the tea was a little hot.

Tea can warm the body but not the heart. She, Xia Nian, and Xu Zheng all felt cold in their hearts.

The room was silent until the doctor came to treat Ye Man's wound.

Someone came to report along the way. Every time someone came, the three of them raised their hopeful eyes, but the news they received made them sigh, looking at the ground weakly and tiredly, or hanging their heads.

Xiahou Yu and Gu Ling tried to comfort them, but Xia Nian's face was pale and she didn't even lift her eyelids. Meng Yin could only reluctantly give Gu Ling a look.

This deathly silence lasted until noon, when the servant brought the food. Xiahou Yu and Gu Ling exchanged glances and began to persuade them to eat something.

Xia Nian waved his hand, looked at Ye Man who was sitting obediently beside him, and said, "Xiao Man was frightened, go eat quickly."

Ye Man pursed his lips, stood up and walked to her, whispering: "Sister Nian, you guys should eat too. Waiting like this... is not a solution."

Xia Nian wanted to refuse, but then she thought that Ye Man was shy and that if they didn't eat, he certainly wouldn't eat either. So she stood up, swaying a little, and was supported by Xia Houyu in time. She walked to the dining table and sat down. Just as she was about to call them to eat, Xu Zheng suddenly slammed the table and shouted:

"Damn! I have to eat. How can I find peaches if I'm not full?"

As she said that, she picked up a chicken leg and started chewing it.

Ye Man looked at her back and his nose suddenly felt sore. He hadn't seen her for such a long time and he never thought that this would be the case when he returned again.

Xu Zheng turned around and pulled him forward, and began to put food into his bowl, saying, "Eat. I haven't seen you for a few months. You've grown taller, but you still need to practice your courage!"

Ye Man's face turned red when she heard this. She lowered her head and ate the food she had picked up in big mouthfuls. She thought to herself: I am too weak. I need to eat well and become stronger! Only when I become as strong as them, I will not drag down the people around me... and I can protect them.

He ate very quickly and seemed to have a particularly good appetite. Meng Yin sat down immediately, picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of food. She gritted her teeth and said, "A Zheng is right. If we are exhausted, how can we find peaches?"

After saying that, she ate several mouthfuls of food in one gulp. Gu Ling, who was standing beside her, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gently advised her to eat slowly, constantly picking up food for her.

The sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding did not last long. The courtyard door outside was suddenly opened with a bang. Several people looked at each other and realized that Yiqing and the others had returned. However, they did not expect it to be so soon. It was not even afternoon yet.

When they got outside, they saw Yi Qing with an anxious look on his face, and Pei Xuanxi chasing after them from behind.

Xu Zheng suddenly collapsed, sniffed, rushed to Pei Xuanxi and hugged him.

Pei Xuanxi comforted her gently, and Xu Zheng sobbed as she recounted what had happened.

Yi Qing first glanced at everyone, his light-colored pupils trembling constantly, and asked in disbelief: "A Tao...hasn't been found yet?"

Gu Ling shook his head and said, "When we found that place, they had already run away."

Yiqing asked again: "Is there any news later?"

Gu Ling still shook his head.

Yiqing remained stunned, his chest heaving up and down, his heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to break free.

Xia Nian asked hurriedly: "Master Yi, did you notice anyone suspicious on your way back?"

Yiqing shook his head in a daze and said, "No, I came back on horseback. I took small roads with few people. Did he know that he was going to die, so he took Ah Tao with him?"

As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and ran outside. Fortunately, Xiahou Yu arrived in front of him in time to stop him. Before he could speak, he took the lead and said, "Yiqing, calm down! It's not a good idea to rush now. We have searched the whole city. Maybe he took Miss Tao to other places. You know Yi'an. Where would he go? Think about it."

Yiqing was panting, his eyes red, and he managed to calm down and think, "How did he take Ah Tao away?"

Meng Yin stepped forward and repeated Ye Man's words.

After hearing this, Yi Qing strode over to Ye Man, lifted him up by the collar, and angrily said, "You are so useless!"

Ye Man closed his eyes tightly, silently accepting his upcoming punch.

Meng Yin stopped him and said, "Yiqing, now is not the time to talk about this."

Gu Ling also held his shoulders and frowned, "Calm down."

Yiqing felt his temples throbbing. He let go of Ye Man, who slid to the ground, hugged his knees and cried, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Yiqing frowned painfully, covered his forehead with his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "Calm down? How can I calm down? Ah Tao was scared by him before, and she already has a trauma... She must be very scared. Originally, I would have taken action against him after solving Xijiang... I was careless, otherwise Ah Tao would not have..."

Xia Nian said: "Perhaps he knew that you were busy with the affairs of the Western Frontier, and took Taozi away at this time. He was so deliberate, I don't think he would hurt Taozi."

"He may be near Qinglong City. Now we know that he took Taozi away. He knows that we will look for him all over the continent, so he will definitely do something." Meng Yin said.

Yi Qing took a deep breath, sat down in the corridor, and said, "We need to search Yi Mansion, Guandao, and the other cities. Have we sent out the notice?"

Xiahou Yu said: "Yes, but we are worried that he will not take Miss Tao to these places."

Pei Xuanxi said: "I think so too. Yi'an has always been careful in doing things. He would not be unprepared. I'm just afraid that now that he knows that I'm wanted, and he's bringing Miss Tao with him..."

The faces of several people turned pale. Pei Xuanxi did not continue, but they knew what he meant. Yi An did things in an unreasonable way. If he saw that the matter was exposed, both sides would be destroyed. This would be the worst result.

Yiqing stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"I'll bring more people to search in all possible places."

His voice was a little vague and mixed with anger, and his tall and thin figure looked particularly lonely.

Meng Yin shook Gu Ling's arm, and Gu Ling understood and said, "Ayin, I will take people with me too. You can rest in the mansion. Duan Yan and Qiao Yi will accompany you."

Xiahou Yu waved his hand to call a maid over, and asked her to help Xia Nian. He went back to the room and put on his sword, saying, "I've been fed up with Yi An for a long time."

He looked at Xia Nian and said softly, "A Nian, take good care of yourself."

After saying that, he flew onto the roof and followed Yi Qing in front of him, with Gu Ling following closely behind.

Pei Xuanxi was suddenly distracted. It suddenly occurred to him that since meeting Xu Zheng, their relationship seemed to have returned to the way it was before.

Xu Zheng said: "Pei Xuanxi, let's go!"

Pei Xuanxi came back to his senses and said, "Okay, A Zheng, do you want to come with me?"

Xu Zheng nodded angrily: "I must break his ribs with my own hands!"
