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

"Then what?" Gu Ling asked.

Meng Yin raised her hand: "Then I thought you really needed it, so I brought it to you."

She was actually very nervous. Would a man from a wealthy family like Gu Ling think this was cheap?

Gu Ling reached out and took it.

"You actually accepted it?" Meng Yin shouted in surprise. When she realized something was wrong, she quickly covered her mouth.

Gu Ling looked at her with amusement: "Miss Meng has brought it, how can I not accept it?"

Meng Yin smiled and said, "You should wear it every day. Maybe it can save your life!"

Gu Ling said calmly: "Really?"

Meng Yin put her hands on her hips: "Of course!"

Gu Ling raised his head again. Meng Yin had already run to the door. She stuck her head out and said with a smile, "Goodbye! Gu Ling, my good friend!"

After saying that, she ran away like the wind.

Gu Ling was a little stunned. This was the first time a woman smiled like this in front of him.

In the past, because of his reputation in the underworld, men and women would be terrified and stay away from him when they saw him.

Gu Ling put away the pendant and his eyes darkened - perhaps Meng Yin knew what kind of person he was and would not smile at him like that.

-

Meng Yin quickly returned to Narcissus Pavilion and told Xia Nian and the others what had happened.

"That's great! I feel like I'm not far from home!" Xu Zheng said excitedly.

"It seems that they have formed this awareness." Xia Nian felt somewhat relieved.

Meng Yin lowered her head, and what Gu Huai said emerged in her mind.

Tao Tao noticed that she looked strange and asked her what was wrong.

Meng Yin told them what she heard Gu Huai say at Gu Mansion.

Xia Nian thought for a moment and said, "So, Gu Ling, Xia Houyu, Yi Qing, and Pei Xuanxi will be the four great demon kings in the future."

Meng Yin nodded: "Yes, it is probably the four of them."

"Damn, this confuses me. How could a gentle person like Pei Xuanxi be given the title of Demon Lord?" Xu Zheng said in surprise.

She practiced martial arts with Pei Xuanxi these two days. Pei Xuanxi was so gentle and considerate that she felt a little embarrassed.

Meng Yin smiled like an auntie: "A Zheng, this is the first time I see you praising a boy like this. Tell me the truth, is there something going on?"

Xu Zheng waved her hands: "No, I won't fall in love!"

All three laughed.

Tan Xiang stepped forward and said, "Four sisters, we have prepared dinner. Do you want to eat now?"

Tao Tao walked forward, grabbed her hand and looked at it: "Tan Xiang, if your hand is injured, try not to get it wet, it will get infected." She turned to the counter and took out the medicine to apply to her.

Tan Xiang shrank his shoulders, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Xia Nian could see her fear. The girls must have been scared of being beaten and scolded. They were worried that they would be punished for a small mistake, so they were timid in everything they did today.

Xia Nian walked forward and gently held her shoulders: "Tan Xiang, you have to remember that we are equal. We are not here to be slaves. Don't feel too burdened, okay?"

Her voice was gentle, which eased Tan Xiang's mood.

Tan Xiang nodded, her big eyes filled with disbelief and gratitude.

Meng Yin walked towards the kitchen: "Everyone, serve the dishes together!"

Xu Zheng ran forward and said, "Look, I'm carrying six plates by myself!"

"A Zheng, you are such a reckless man, be careful not to fall!" Meng Yin shouted.

-

Inside Yiqing Mansion, four people were discussing the Lin family’s affairs.

"So my Yi family only needs to have a name." Yi Qing held the back of his head with both hands and said casually.

"It's good enough for the outside world to know that our four major families have joined forces. Before, people on the mainland always thought that the four major families were at odds with each other. This is a good opportunity to let those people see whether we can really get along or not." Pei Xuanxi smiled, with a hint of ruthlessness in his gentle tone.

"Okay." Gu Ling nodded. Some old guys in the underworld liked to laugh at the jokes of the four major families. This was a good opportunity to slap them in the face.

Seeing that Xiahou Yu had been staring at the evidence of the Lin family's crimes, Pei Xuanxi asked, "Does Master Xiahou have any questions?"

Xiahou Yu shook his head and said calmly, "This Lin Xuan... doesn't seem to be guilty of a crime punishable by death according to the law."

Yiqing looked at it and asked, "Any questions?"

Xiahou Yu's mouth curled up, and his tone seemed very relaxed: "If there is a problem, he must die."

The three of them looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to object.

-

The next day, the Lin family was still convicted by the four major families. The evidence of the crime was posted at the law enforcement field, and the new city lord announced the execution. Yiqing, Xiahou Yu, Gu Ling, and Pei Xuanxi, from arresting the Pan family to eliminating the Lin family, never formally attended such an occasion.

In other words, until now, no one in the world knows what the heirs of the current four major families look like.

Their deeds in Zhaoding City spread quickly, and people in the martial arts world began to suspect the discord among the four major families.

When the Lin family was executed, only Lin Bao was beheaded.

Somehow, Lin Xuan was beaten to death the night before his execution, and his body was thrown out to feed the dogs the next day. When outsiders heard about this, it was rumored that he could not bear the punishment and committed suicide.

-

Xiao Xian sat in the chair, unable to concentrate on the book at all.

His mind kept popping up the way Xiahou Yu dealt with Lin Xuan last night. That chilling look made him certain that Xiahou Yu really had feelings for Xia Nian.

Xiao Xian sighed, not knowing what Xia Nian was thinking.

The next morning——

Xu Zheng got up from the bed in a daze and wanted to go to the toilet.

As she walked into the yard, she saw a blurry figure in front of her.

"You are...that old man!" Xu Zheng pointed at him and shouted.

The old man didn't seem to expect to be seen. He hurriedly put down what he was holding, turned around and ran away.

Xu Zheng immediately chased after him, shouting, "Don't run! You old bastard, let us go back now!"

Xia Nian was awakened by her voice. He opened the door and saw Xu Zheng chasing after the old man. There was a book on the table.

"You old bastard...ah!" Xu Zheng opened the door and chased outside, and unexpectedly bumped into someone's chest.

"Miss Xu, what's wrong with you?" Pei Xuanxi supported her.

Xu Zheng touched his forehead and asked in confusion: "Pei Xuanxi? Why are you here? Did you see an old man just now?"

She was only wearing a waist-baring T-shirt and shorts, with her hair loose. Pei Xuanxi took one look at her and immediately took off his coat and put it on her.

"I'm here to deliver a letter. I want to tell you that I have to go to Ziyang City for a few days, so I won't be able to teach you Qinggong during these days." Pei Xuanxi said.

Xu Zheng was still thinking about the old man and nodded repeatedly: "Ziyang City? Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Pei Xuanxi nodded: "It's cold outside, Miss Xu, please go in quickly, and put on this coat first."

Xu Zheng patted his shoulder: "Thank you, Brother Pei!"

Seeing Pei Xuanxi and A Yan leaving, Xu Zheng ran out and looked at the street, but the old man was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm so angry. Who exactly is this old guy? Pei Xuanxi said he didn't see him. Could he have disappeared out of thin air?" Xu Zheng muttered to herself. When she returned to the yard, she found Xia Nian flipping through the book left by the old man.

"Niannian! I didn't catch the old man, he ran away." Xu Zheng said gritting her teeth.

Xia Nian looked up and saw that she was wearing a coat that was obviously not the size for her body, so she asked, "Whose coat is this?"

Xu Zheng sat down with her hands on her hips: "It's Pei Xuanxi, he just happened to come to see me."

"Mr. Pei? What does he want to see you about?" Xia Nian asked.

Xu Zheng said: "He said he would go to Ziyang City for a few days, so he won't be able to teach me Qinggong during these few days."

"Zi Yang City!" Xia Nian raised her voice a little. She looked at the table of contents in the book and the second title happened to be Zi Yang City.
