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

From Xunyan’s previous words, we can know that she was sold to a brothel at a very young age, which is illegal.

Xunfu was so shocked by his gaze that he was speechless.

Gu Ling looked at him contemptuously, turned around and walked to Meng Yin and put his arms around her waist. Meng Yin made a face at the two of them.

When the city lord saw how things had turned out, he hurriedly said, "It's my fault. I didn't expect something like this to happen right under my nose."

Xiahou Yu crossed his arms over his chest, tilted his head and stared at him, smiling and said, "City Lord, if you can't handle this properly, you won't be able to hold on to your position. Why don't you return to your hometown to retire?"

The city lord panicked and said, "It will be done, it will be done. I will remember everything you said."

He looked at the people behind him and said, "Hold these two back! And you!" He pointed at the guard and said, "You don't need to come tomorrow."

The people behind started to move, and after a burst of ghostly howling, they quickly took the person away.

The city lord said to them in a teasing tone: "I will definitely clean up the city's atmosphere when I return, and not let you worry about anything. May I ask, apart from Sect Leader Yi and Master Zhong, are the other young men and ladies..."

Meng Yin nodded slightly, agreeing with his idea.

The city lord shrank his shoulders and realized that he was sweating coldly. Fortunately, nothing serious happened just now, so he didn't think he would be fired.

"You all came to Chaomu City, which really surprised me. I didn't have time to prepare anything. I wonder if you are free to come to my house for a gathering?"

Xia Nian said: "No need, I think the city lord has some things to deal with."

The city lord smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, young lady, don't worry."

He wanted to persuade them again. After all, they came here suddenly, and it was a good time to make connections. No matter what, it was always good to do a favor. At this time, Pei Xuanxi suddenly said, "City Lord."

The city lord looked at him and saw that he was handsome and gentle, thinking that he was the one with the best temper. He immediately smiled and said, "Master Pei, please speak."

Pei Xuanxi smiled and said, "Can we modify the city order and clean up the unscrupulous guards in three days?"

The city lord was stunned. Why did he feel that although this man was smiling, he would stab him with a knife in the next second?

"Yes, yes, I will definitely do it, Master Pei, don't worry."

Pei Xuanxi smiled as a reply.

The city lord wiped the cold sweat from his palms and flattered them a lot. A few people couldn't stand it, so they said a few more words casually and left.

On the way, Xunyan couldn't control her tears and kept wiping them with a handkerchief.

Tao Tao asked worriedly: "Xun Yan, are you thinking about your parents?"

They dealt with her parents right in front of her. After all, they were her biological parents, so Xunyan might inevitably feel sad.

Xun Yan shook her head and said with tears in her eyes: "No, Miss Tao, it's just... just..."

Xia Nian stroked her back gently and said softly, "It's okay, talk slowly, there's no rush."

Xun Yan nodded and choked up, "It's just that I didn't expect that one day there would be so many people defending me. I'm very touched. Thank you."

She paused and said, "It's just that I no longer recognize my parents. My current good life has nothing to do with them. I suffered a lot for them."

"That's right! It's better not to have such parents!" Xu Zheng said, "Don't be touched, we are friends, haha!"

"That's right, friends should help each other." Meng Yin said with a smile.

Xun Yan nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Yeah, I remember it."

A few people laughed and went to buy snacks together.

Zhong Ziyi was looking at Xunyan's back, thinking that she should not be sad, when suddenly someone grabbed his neck.

Turning his head, he found it was Xia Houyu. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you interested in that girl?"

Zhong Ziyi opened his eyes and coughed twice uncomfortably: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Still pretending." Xiahou Yu smiled faintly, "I never thought that you, who used to be so pure and unselfish, would actually fall in love with someone one day."

Zhong Ziyi said with all his might: "Humans have seven emotions and six desires..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiahou Yu smiled and said, "You admit it? What's there to be embarrassed about? From my experience, I can tell you that it's best to take the initiative."

"Take the initiative?" Zhong Ziyi raised his eyebrows. "Brother Xiahou...is this how you begged Miss Xia that day?"

Xiahou Yu did not shy away from the question and said directly: "Of course."

After hearing what he said, Zhong Ziyi actually started to think about it seriously.

The three of them didn't expose Xiahou Yu. The last one who succeeded was even here passing on his experience to others.

When the five people came back, Xiahou Yu let go of him and quickly went to find Xia Nian.

Zhong Ziyi was still thinking with his head lowered when suddenly a piece of oil paper was handed to him. He looked up and saw Xunyan's smiling face with a few tears on her face. When Zhong Ziyi saw it, he couldn't help but reach out to wipe them away for her.

Xun Yan was stunned, blushed, and whispered, "Thank you. Do you want to eat?"

Zhong Ziyi took it, but his eyes were fixed on Xun Yan's red ears.

After spending these days together, he really fell in love with Xunyan. She was sensitive and easy-going, and he cared about every time she frowned.

But does Xunyan have the same feeling towards him? He knows that Xunyan cares a lot about his past. Will she reject him because of the huge gap between their status? Or will she not have that kind of feeling towards him at all, but just ordinary gratitude?

After all, he saved her at that time, and it is very likely that Xun Yan would marry him in order to repay her kindness.

Zhong Ziyi thought for a long time and decided to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Xun Yan.

If she really only has feelings for me as a friend, then it's not a bad idea to pledge my love to her...

He is not pursuing fame or fortune, and it is nothing if he is just being willful this time.

But is this considered forcing her? I never force anyone.

If I want to pledge my love to you, I need Xunyan's consent. It doesn't count as forcing you, right?

Zhong Ziyi took a peek at Xun Yan's profile and made up his mind to keep her by his side.

When they returned to the house, a girl in a small jacket ran towards them and threw herself into Meng Yin's arms. Meng Yin looked at her carefully and said with a smile, "Ayan, is everything settled?"

Duan Yan blinked and said, "It's all right, it's all right, I can finally have fun. My brother insisted that I go with him, saying that he wanted to train me, which pissed me off."

Meng Yin said: "Don't be angry, I have prepared something good for you."

"Great! Thank you, Sister Yin!" Duan Yan let go of her playfully and looked around, "Where is my good disciple?"

Meng Yin said, "He's still outside. When he came back just now, he said he was going to buy something." An idea suddenly occurred to her, maybe this thing was for Duan Yan.

Duan Yan responded and went to the inner courtyard with a few others to talk.

While walking on the road, Duan Yan suddenly asked, "Hey, where's Qiao Yi?"

Meng Yin said, "I don't know either. He should be with Fu Nian, right?" She looked at Xia Nian, who said, "I don't know either. Fu Nian is running around all day and I can't see him."

As they were talking, they saw Fu Nian in the corner of the inner courtyard.

He was squatting on the ground, holding a branch in his hand and drawing something. He looked like he was drawing circles alone and crying.

Several people couldn't help but laugh, and Xia Nian stepped forward and asked, "Fu Nian, what are you doing?"

Fu Nian turned around and said with a sad face: "Madam, Qiao Yi ignored me."

Xia Nian held back her laughter and asked, "Why am I ignoring you?"

Fu Nian said: "I don't know either. I was just angry for a while, and she ignored me. I don't like her getting close to other men. Is that wrong?"

Several people were shocked. They didn't expect Fu Nian to be more straightforward than modern people.

Meng Yin thought for a moment and said, "You don't understand Qiao Yi. Think about it, you two have nothing to do with each other now, so how can you be so jealous? Besides, Qiao Yi is a straightforward person, so she will take it seriously if you are joking, so..."

Fu Nian had an expression of eagerness to learn, and Meng Yin smiled, "So you have to find a good time to talk to her properly."

Fu Nian thought for a moment and said, "But I don't know if she likes me as well."
