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

Meng Yin asked: "Can't we arrange for someone to ambush on the mountain in advance?"

"There is a small path leading there, but even if we use light skills to get up there, we won't have enough time." Gu Ling climbed in through the window and said.

Xu Zheng asked hurriedly: "Did you catch anyone?"

Pei Xuanxi shook his head and said, "I think Yi An has been preparing for this these days."

Xu Zheng rubbed her hair irritably and cursed, "What the hell does that idiot want to do? Damn it!"

Pei Xuanxi said: "Let's go together tonight."

Several people nodded.

After leaving the restaurant, it was much darker outside than usual, with dark clouds covering the city, and it seemed as if a downpour would begin at any time.

Xia Nian still felt something was wrong. What was the purpose of Yi An's action?

As she was thinking, she was suddenly carried onto a horse, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a group of people wearing Zhan Yue Pavilion uniforms behind them.

Without further ado, they had to rush to the Cliff of Death.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, it was already completely dark. The wind blew the leaves, whistling in their faces, and all three of them were feeling uneasy.

After a dull day, it finally started to drizzle, mixed with wind, blowing against them, making them feel cold and frightened.

The road gradually became flat and passed through a sparse woods. The three people's eyes suddenly widened. Meng Yin wiped the rain off her face and had to believe the two people standing in front of her.

In the rain, Yi An was holding a woman in his hands, standing on the edge of a cliff. Wasn't this woman "Tao Tao"!

Her eyes were covered with a cloth, her hands were tied behind her back, and her mute point was pressed. Her lips were open but she could not speak.

The three of them were so nervous, did Yi An really intend to die together with Tao Tao? !

Xun Tao, who was controlled by Yi An, was confused at this moment. Her hands were tied and she couldn't move. The cloth on her face didn't fit her well. She could open her eyes and barely see a group of people approaching quickly.

The sound of horse hooves trampling grass and mud, raindrops fell on her face, mixed with her tears, and then fell into the soil.

She clearly understood that they were not here to save her.

In the afternoon, Yi An suddenly found her and asked her to repay his kindness.

She lowered her head and asked, "Sir, please tell me. Xun Tao will do her best."

Yi An stretched out his hand to her and said gently, "Then, give me your life."

Before she could react, her acupuncture points were pressed, her eyes were blindfolded, and she was brought to this place.

Along the way, Xuntao finally figured it out.

She is not Tao Tao's substitute, she is a tool. The purpose of Yi An saving her is to die here today instead of Tao Tao.

Why? Xun Tao thought, it was because of those people in front of him, they obviously didn't come for him.

It was useless for her to struggle. She was already heartbroken and had to admit that there must be something missing in her fate. No one in the world loved her.

"Peach!" Xu Zheng shouted.

From the white cloth, Xun Tao saw her red figure running towards here, and then being pulled back by someone.

Taozi? Her name is Xunyan. They had mistaken her for Tao Tao. The biggest difference between her and Tao Tao was her eyes, which were also covered.

Yi An pulled her again and shouted at the others, "If you want me to die with her, come here!"

Xia Nian tried his best to remain calm and asked, "What are you going to do? Are you going to go through all this trouble to take Taozi with you to die?"

Yi An narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Miss Xia, you are right. Since I am going to die anyway, why don't I take my beloved with me?"

As he said this, he picked up the dagger and pointed it at Xunyan's neck.

Meng Yin shouted anxiously: "Wait, you like Taozi, so you have to treat her like this?!"

Yi An looked at Yi Qing, laughed a few times, and said, "I love her, but she is with the person I hate the most, so let's die together!"

"This lunatic!" Meng Yin cursed inwardly.

Now that Yi An had held her hostage, they dared not act rashly.

"Let her go!" Several people heard Yi Qing's trembling voice, and saw him take a few steps forward and stretch out his hand. The jade slip with a faint green light swayed in his hand.

"Let her go, I'll give you the jade slip and I'll sign a document not to attack you." Yi Qing said.

He said this to Yi An, but his eyes were fixed on Xun Yan. His anger was about to reach the top of his head, but he had to remain calm.

Xiahou Yu and the other two frowned. After the jade slips were taken, they would be put into the secret room of the sect. However, Yiqing's jade slip was in his hand. He must have thought of exchanging the jade slip for Tao Tao a few days ago and had someone bring the jade slip.

Yi An shouted, "Yi Qing, the Qianji Sect only recognizes your face now. Are you giving me the jade slip to tell them that I am plotting to usurp the throne?"

Yiqing clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from being squeezed.

He tried his best to suppress the anger rising between his brows and said, "If you release Ah Tao, I will agree to any condition."

Yi An curled his lips and said, "Yi Qing, you have come to this day. No wonder Ah Tao likes a young man like you. It turns out that she is a love-struck person."

As he spoke, he pulled Xunyan closer, his lips pressed against her ear, and he scratched her neck with the knife.

Blood flowed out, and Yiqing suddenly became anxious.

"Don't hurt her!" he shouted, "What conditions and demands do you have? Tell me!"

Yi An said with a smile: "Yi Qing, you have been treated as a child of destiny since you were young. You have been worshipped by others and you have everything you want. Have you ever experienced the feeling of living under someone else's roof?"

This is true. Among the four, Yiqing and Pei Xuanxi grew up in a better environment. Yiqing was cared for by his parents since he was young, and everyone in the family hoped that he would inherit the family business, but this also cultivated his arrogant and rebellious character.

Pei Xuanxi came from a good family and no one in the clan competed with him. He was spotted by the owner of Wanxiang Tower when he was a child and grew up in Wanxiang Tower, receiving praise and attention.

Xiahou Yu and Gu Ling each have their own difficulties. Both of their parents died early, one has to deal with a nosy aunt, and the other has to compete with his cousin.

"If it weren't for the Yi family, do you think you would be able to stand here and tell me all this?" Yi Qing said coldly, "All elections are fair. Just because you are not as skilled as others, you are going to blame others?"

Yi An said: "I don't blame you at first, I blame the person who promised to let me inherit the Yi family, that is, your grandfather. Unfortunately, he died. It's not too much for me to blame you, right?"

"This idiot!" Xu Zheng cursed in a low voice, "It's impossible to communicate with him. What if he drags Taozi to dance with him?"

Xia Nian held her back, his eyes fixed on Xun Yan.

She had just felt that something was wrong. Why did Yi An cover half of Taozi's face and not let her speak? If she was allowed to speak, Taozi would cry and they would be even more anxious. Wouldn't that be more irritating to them?

A thought popped into Xia Nian's mind - could it be that this person is not Taozi at all?

She looked carefully at the face of the person in front of her. It was dark and raining, so she couldn't see clearly. Just judging by the figure and the exposed lower half of the face, she looked exactly like Taozi.

But she still felt something was wrong.

Xu Zheng was already extremely anxious. Pei Xuanxi blocked her way with one hand and said, "If you let Miss Tao go, the four of us will sign a written agreement and will not do anything to you."

Yi An sneered, looked at Gu Ling, and said, "Written agreement? To him, this thing is just a useless piece of paper, right?"

"He won't!" Meng Yin said quickly, "He won't read the document, but listen to me, as long as you release Taozi, I won't let him do anything to you."

Gu Ling met his gaze and said, "I will do as A Yin said and will not do anything to you."

Yi An laughed even more happily and said, "Miss Meng, do you think I haven't heard about your deeds? You two are really a perfect match."

Meng Yin gritted his teeth and cursed out a lot of curse words in his mind.

He looked at Yiqing and said with a smile: "How about this, if you cut off your arm, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, I will consider not taking Ah Tao with you to die."

After these words were spoken, everyone present turned pale.

Yiqing is a martial artist. How will he live in the future without an arm?

But Yiqing said without hesitation: "I promise you, you let go of Tao first."

Yi An smiled and put down the dagger.

There was a clanging sound as Yiqing drew out his sword. The silver-white sword shone with a sharp, cold light under the rain.

Xia Nian was about to persuade him to wait when he saw Pei Xuanxi's fingers move slightly, as if he was preparing to use a hidden weapon.
