Yi An saw her hesitation, he coughed twice, and said weakly: "It's okay if Miss Tao doesn't want to stay, Ah Qing is here, he can take you back."

Seeing how weak he was, Tao Tao shook her head and said, "I'd better stay and take care of you."

She hesitated just now more because she was worried about Yinyin and the others, but thinking that there was a miracle doctor in Xiahou Mansion, nothing should be wrong.

Yi An looked up at her and said, "Okay, thank you Miss Tao."

Tao Tao smiled and walked out.

Yi'an's expression changed instantly. He looked at his fingertips, which were white because he had used too much force.

He laughed at himself, never expecting that one day he would get hurt because of a girl.

The moment Tao Tao walked out the door, her eyes met with Yi Qing's.

Yiqing asked, "Have you left?"

Tao Tao shook her head: "Yiqing, you go back first, Yi'an needs someone to take care of him."

Yiqing took a few steps forward, and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Just let the servants do those things, why do you have to stay here?"

Tao Tao said gently: "Yian was injured because of me, how could I abandon him? Besides, I am a doctor."

Yiqing took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress his urge to carry her on his shoulders.

"Yiqing, it's late, you should go back and rest first." Tao Tao said again.

Yiqing felt extremely distressed. He regretted that he should have arranged someone to secretly protect Tao Tao, so that she would not have to stay here because of Yian.

He clicked his tongue irritably and turned to look at Ah Shuo.

"A Shuo, go back to Xiahou Mansion and tell them we won't be coming back."

Tao Tao was stunned: We?

Ah Shuo touched his head and hesitated: "Young Master, if you really don't want to go back, then that matter..." His voice became much softer.

Yi Qing looked at the situation in the room coldly and said, "I'm not going back. Just tell them."

Ah Shuo cupped his hands: "Yes."

Tao Tao's eyes widened: "Yiqing, do you want to stay here too?"

Didn't he hate Yi An? Why would he stay with him? Was it because of me that he chose to stay?

Yiqing walked up to her and said in a slightly gentler tone, "I'm worried about you."

Tao Tao didn't expect that her guess was correct. Her face turned red and she muttered softly, "What's there to worry about?" Then she ran into the house.

Yi An immediately noticed her red ears and cheeks. He sneered in his heart, but his face was still smiling: "Has the misunderstanding between Miss Tao and Ah Qing been resolved?"

Tao Tao took a sip of water, and her heartbeat finally slowed down: "Well, Yiqing is not an unreasonable person."

Yi'an stared at her, and when he heard her speaking for Yiqing, he couldn't help but clench his hands hidden under his sleeves.

"Haha, it seems that Miss Tao and Yiqing have a good relationship." Yi An said again.

As soon as Yiqing stepped into the room, he crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows: "Of course we have a good relationship, do you need me to tell you!?"

Yi An lowered his eyes: "Ah Qing is really young and energetic."

Tao Tao was afraid that the two would have another conflict, so she hurried forward and grabbed Yi Qing's arm: "Okay, go and rest."

Yian saw her grabbing Yiqing's hands, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Yiqing looked down at Tao Tao and said, "I'll wait for you."

Tao Tao was helpless, knowing she couldn't beat him, so she could only nod.

-

A Shuo returned to Xiahou Mansion alone, sighing in his heart.

The young master is going to have to overcome the emotional barrier.

He went inside and saw that the main hall was brightly lit, so he walked over and knocked on the door.

The door was opened, and the people inside were surprised to see that he was the only one back.

Xia Nian stood up and asked, "A Shuo, where is Taozi?"

Ah Shuo said, "Miss Tao stayed at Master Yi's house to take care of him, and the young master also stayed."

Several people nodded.

"By the way, the young master asked me to tell you that once everyone arrives tomorrow, the plan can begin." Ah Shuo said seriously.

Xia Nian looked at Xia Houyu and said, "Master Xia Hou, we have heard about Wushan from Yinyin. Can you tell us the details?"

Xiahou Yu and Pei Xuanxi looked at Gu Ling at the same time. Meng Yin must have heard this from him. It seems that Gu Ling really cares about Meng Yin.

"Okay. Here's what happened. A few days ago, Brother Pei and Brother Gu received news that many people have disappeared in Wushan recently."

Xiahou Yu paused and continued, "We sent people to investigate and found that those people disappeared on the path to Wushan."

Pei Xuanxi nodded and continued, "That's right. Wushan has a complex terrain. The only way to get in safely is by taking that path. And people who go to Wushan usually have only one purpose, which is to find the precious herbs there."

"Herbs?" Xia Nian and Meng Yin exclaimed.

Gu Ling looked at Meng Yin and nodded: "Many precious medicinal herbs grow in Wushan, and many people specialize in this business."

"Yes, according to the news, those who took the path disappeared at night and early morning. Later, someone passed by that path at night and saw with his own eyes that a lot of fog suddenly emerged from it." Xiahou Yu said.

"Didn't you say this matter is related to Brother Pei?" Meng Yin asked.

Pei Xuanxi nodded. "Just a few days ago, the family of the missing person went in to look for him and found a hidden weapon from the Wanxiang Building in the bushes. Later, rumors spread that the Soul Devouring Hall and the Wanxiang Building wanted to monopolize the resources of Wushan, so they designed a plan to prevent these people from going to Wushan."

"Some people also say that it was because of the conflict between the Soul Devouring Hall and the Wanxiang Building that they ambushed each other during the battle for Misty Mountain, which resulted in innocent people being hurt." Gu Ling said.

Meng Yin was puzzled: "Just based on these, can you say that it was you who did it? Anyone can buy hidden weapons, right? Just based on the mist, can you say that it was done by the Soul Devouring Hall?"

Gu Ling's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said, "Too many people will talk nonsense, not to mention that someone is deliberately against us."

"In fact, it's obvious that it's targeting you. There are actually so many people in the world who believe it." Xia Nian frowned.

Xiahou Yu looked at her and said, "In recent years, there are more and more sects in the martial arts world that are dissatisfied with the four major families. There are villains behind the scenes who are interfering."

Meng Yin and Xia Nian looked at each other. They had already guessed that it was probably the person who wanted to divide them.

"It's okay. We have already thought of a solution." Gu Ling said with a calm expression.

He looked at Meng Yin opposite him, knowing that they might have to be separated from his A Yin for a while.

Xu Zheng sat on the chair, yawning constantly.

After listening to them talking about this, she felt overwhelmed and soon fell sleepy.

Pei Xuanxi chuckled, stood up and said, "It's late, let's go to bed first."

Xu Zheng quickly agreed: "Yes, I'm so sleepy."

Everyone stood up and walked outside.

Gu Ling followed Meng Yin and pulled her little finger.

Meng Yin turned around and was not angry. She waited until everyone had left before she approached Gu Ling.

Gu Ling had an obvious smile on his face, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Ayin?"

Meng Yin pulled his arm and they came to the yard.

"Gu Ling, does this incident have a big impact on you?" Meng Yin frowned and asked, "And will you be in danger?"

Gu Ling reached out and gently pinched her cheek, grinning, "Ayin, are you worried about me?"

Meng Yin rolled her eyes and hit him: "Of course I'm worried about you!"

Gu Ling pinched her chin with his fingers and leaned closer to her: "It's not us, it's me."

Meng Yin was speechless and had to compromise: "Okay, okay, I'm worried about you."

In fact, she was more worried that this matter would create a rift between them.

But Gu Ling's behavior left her with no choice.

Gu Ling released her chin and pulled her into his arms.

Meng Yin was stunned. Gu Ling was pressing on the back of her head. Now she was pressed against Gu Ling's chest and could clearly hear his heartbeat.

There was only a faint smell of herbs on him, and Meng Yin felt very safe when he held her in his arms.

Gu Ling's pleasant voice came, with a doting tone: "Don't worry, I won't leave Ayin."

Meng Yin paused, feeling vaguely uncomfortable.

But she wants to leave him.
