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

"What's wrong?" Xia Nian asked, tilting his head.

Gu Huai became gentle and elegant again.

Xia Houyu shook her head: "It's okay, Miss Xia, go back and rest first."

Xia Nian nodded and turned to look at Meng Yin: "Yin Yin, hurry up and catch up."

"I'm coming." Meng Yin said. She walked to Gu Huai and said with a smile, "Thank you for today."

Gu Huai smiled gently: "It's just a piece of cake."

"I didn't realize you're quite good at martial arts." Meng Yin praised.

Gu Huai lowered his eyes slightly: "Am I weak in Miss Meng's heart?"

Meng Yin waved her hands repeatedly: "No, it's just that I think you are weak, so..." Her voice became lower and lower. For some reason, when she was explaining just now, she saw an expression on Gu Huai's face that she had never seen before.

Just now, the smugness on his face flashed away. Meng Yin was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was not the Gu Huai she knew.

"Miss Meng, what's wrong with you?" Gu Huai asked deliberately.

Meng Yin touched her head, thinking that she had been wrong. She and Gu Huai were not particularly familiar with each other. "I'm fine. See you tomorrow!"

"Okay." Gu Huai nodded.

Watching Meng Yin's back disappearing slowly in the yard, Gu Huaifei climbed onto the roof.

On the rooftop, Qiao Yi had been waiting there for a long time.

"Master Gu." Qiao Yi bowed his head.

"How's the investigation going?" Gu Ling tore off the disguise on his face, revealing a somewhat gloomy and handsome face underneath.

"We found out that the bandit has more than a dozen men under him," said Qiao Yi.

"Very good." There was a coldness in Gu Ling's eyes. He turned around and looked down. Meng Yin was holding Xia Nian's arm, and it was unknown what the two were talking about.

He withdrew his gaze and flew away.

The next day, Yi Mansion.

Ah Shuo came back from outside a long time ago, holding the things that Yi Qing had given him last night.

"Young Master." Ah Shuo handed the thing to him.

"Did you see A Yan beside Pei Xuanxi when you went there?" Yi Qing picked up the knife with one hand and took a look.

"No, there are only a few people in the shop." said A Shuo.

Since the store was almost closing when he went there last night, he had to show them the token before rushing to finish the work.

"Okay, go call Xiahou Yu and the others." Yi Qing said, turning and walking towards Tao Tao's room.

"Yes."

Yiqing looked at the sky. It was still early. He raised his hand and put it down again. Suddenly, the door opened.

"Yiqing?" Tao Tao looked up at him. Because she had just woken up, her eyes were still misty. "Why are you here?"

Yiqing calmed himself down and raised his hand: "This is what you wanted yesterday."

Tao Tao came to her senses immediately. She was overjoyed and quickly picked up the thing. When she opened it, she found that it was almost the same as she had described and the workmanship was even very fine.

Yiqing took a few glances. He knew the craftsmanship of Wanxianglou, so he directly asked Ah Shuo to take the token there.

"That's great, we can now dissect the body." Tao Tao said excitedly.

"Miss Tao, are you sure you want to do it yourself? We have someone who can perform the autopsy." Yiqing asked.

Tao Tao shook her head: "Let me do it, my expertise is more suitable for me."

"Then I'll take you there." Yiqing thought for a moment, "Do you want to have breakfast first?"

"No, let's go now."

"Okay." Yiqing looked at Tao Tao's small body and didn't expect her to be so bold.

The two of them came to the cellar. When the man in black saw Yi Qing coming, he immediately got up from the ground and bowed, "Young Master."

"Open the box and carry the body over there." Yiqing pointed to the wooden table next to him.

"Yes."

Tao Tao looked at Chunxue's body. She didn't feel scared, just a little dazed. She thought that she just followed the teacher's advice and took anatomy as an elective, but she didn't expect it would come in handy.

Tao Tao walked forward and put the things aside. She took out the veil she made last night from her arms, put it on, and started working.

"Yiqing, why don't you go upstairs and wait." Tao Tao looked up and said.

Yiqing shook his head. "I'm right here. Miss Tao, please let me know if you need anything."

Tao Tao nodded and started to fight as if no one was around.

Tao Tao checked the body first. There were no needle holes or anything like that, so the poison probably wasn't administered through that method.

She was extremely serious, frowning from time to time, her hands moving constantly. Yiqing lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a tenderness in his eyes that he had not even noticed.

He couldn't help but be curious about Tao Tao's life experience. She looked so cute and always smiled gently, but she was very good at this kind of thing.

Most people would not dare to look at such a horrific corpse again, but she was so timid, yet she directly cut open the belly of the corpse.

Yi Qing was watching intently when Tao Tao screamed in surprise.

"What's wrong?!" Yiqing ran forward and held her waist with his right hand.

Tao Tao's eyes opened wide and she pointed at the corpse. Yi Qing looked over and frowned.

The organs in the corpse were badly damaged, and there were even a lot of maggot-like things crawling around. The scary thing was that they made a squeaking sound and turned into black smoke in the blink of an eye.

"This is..." Tao Tao looked up at Yi Qing.

Yi Qing said in a deep voice: "I know this poison, it comes from the Soul Devouring Hall."

"Young master, Master Xiahou and Master Gu are here." The man in black ran down and said.

"Let's go up and talk to them first." Tao Tao said. She didn't know what the poison was, but she could tell them about the condition of the corpse.

"Okay." Yiqing nodded.

-

In the yard, Xiahou Yu, Xia Nian, Meng Yin, Gu Huai and He Fu were waiting for them.

"Taozi!" Seeing Tao Tao coming out, Meng Yin ran up and took her arm.

"Yin Yin." Tao Tao pulled off her veil.

"Taozi, has the autopsy been completed?" Xia Nian asked.

Tao Tao nodded hesitantly: "I think it's over..."

Several people looked at her in confusion. Yiqing stepped forward and told them about the condition of the corpse, glancing vaguely at Gu Huai behind him.

"It's the Gu family! It must be them!" After listening to Yiqing's description, He Fu suddenly shouted.

Tao Tao leaned close to Xia Nian's ear and asked, "Did he rest at Young Master Xiahou's house last night?"

Xia Nian nodded and said softly, "Yes, because he wanted to know the situation. We met Mr. Gu on the street."

Meng Yin frowned and asked, "How do you know it's the Gu family?"

He Fu looked at Gu Huai, his eyes filled with anger: "Only people from the Gu family have this kind of poison!"

Gu Huai looked at him calmly, "You are wrong. Just because he is from the Gu family doesn't mean he is from the Soul Devouring Hall. Only people from the Soul Devouring Hall have this poison."

He Fu covered his head and shouted in pain: "That's Gu Ling, it must be him...it must be..."

Meng Yin said with a smile: "This reason is a bit far-fetched, even if Gu Ling has such a thing, as the heir of the Gu family, what reason does he have to kill these people?"

He Fu's eyes were red, and he said, "It's rumored in the martial arts world that Gu Lingxin is as vicious as a snake and a hypocrite. What if he just thinks it's fun? Even if it's not him, but someone from the Soul Devouring Hall, he can't be separated from him!"

Meng Yin was somewhat speechless and retorted, "Gu Ling is not as bad as you say, and this kind of poison is not necessarily only possessed by people from the Soul Devouring Hall, right?"

Although she didn't know what the Soul Devouring Hall was, she could guess roughly that it was most likely some underworld organization related to the Gu family.

Gu Ling, who was disguised as Gu Huai, looked at her silently, with a trace of ripples in his eyes.

She didn't expect that he only saved her once, and she would defend him in front of so many people.

He couldn't help but wonder, if his true face was revealed, would she still stand by him so resolutely?

"Brother He, how do you know that Gu Huai is from the Gu family, one of the four major families? Have you known for a long time that we are also from the four major families?" Xiahou Yu raised his eyebrows, slightly curved the corners of his mouth, and looked at him teasingly.

Xia Nian glanced at him and smiled helplessly - with the surname Xiahou and their actions last night, it would be hard for others not to know.
