I traveled through time with my best friend.

After saying that, he fell backwards. Mu Qi's eyes widened and he immediately went forward to grab Jiang Xue.

However, a figure quickly surpassed her and caught Jiang Xue who was about to fall.

Wang Ziyan started fighting with Muqi in the back.

Mu Qi saw that the situation was not right, and after seeing Pei Zhijin pull Jiang Xue up, he immediately retreated.

Jiang Xue didn't expect that it was Pei Zhijin who saved her. Looking at Pei Zhijin's cold face, she said cautiously: "You..."

Pei Zhijin let go of Jiang Xue and said to Wang Ziyan, "Let's continue on our journey."

"Hey, don't go." When Jiang Xue was about to grab Pei Zhijin to explain, an arrow flew towards Pei Zhijin from somewhere.

"Be careful!" Jiang Xue shouted and was about to stand in front of Pei Zhijin.

Pei Zhijin immediately pulled Jiang Xue aside, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly dodged the flying arrow.

Wang Ziyan hid aside and shouted to Pei Zhijin: "Oh no, they are chasing us."

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue with a slightly worried look in his eyes, and said coldly: "What are you doing now? Do you know that if you stand in front of me, it will cost you your life?"

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin in panic and said, "I...I didn't think so much."

"Leave quickly." Pei Zhijin let go of Jiang Xue and said coldly.

When Jiang Xue heard Pei Zhijin asking her to leave, she immediately shook her head and said, "No, I'm not leaving. I came here to explain to you what happened last night. I..."

"I don't want to listen." Pei Zhijin interrupted, then looked at Wen Yu who was standing beside him and said, "Send her back to Jiang's house immediately."

"Yes."

"No, I won't leave." Jiang Xue grabbed Pei Zhijin's sleeve.

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue's nervous expression, and felt a slight pain in his heart. He then shook Jiang Xue off and said, "Jiang Xue, you've already used me. What else do you want to use me for by approaching me now?"

"No, I didn't take advantage of you."

"Enough, I don't want to listen to you now, leave now!" Pei Zhijin's eyes were cold.

Jiang Xue paused, looking at Pei Zhijin's resolute eyes, her heart ached for some reason. Wen Yu reminded her, "Miss Jiang, let's go quickly."

At this time, Wang Ziyan was already fighting with the people sent by the Queen Mother. Atong hid in a corner nearby. When Pei Zhijin turned around, he didn't even look at Jiang Xue. He just fought with those people without looking back.

Jiang Xue had no choice but to follow Wen Yu away, but she did not go far. Instead, she hid aside and watched. She had to explain clearly what happened last night. She didn't want Pei Zhijin to misunderstand her.

The fighting gradually stopped. After the last man in black fell, Wang Ziyan put away his folding fan and looked around. Then he looked at Pei Zhijin who was holding a sword and asked, "Where is Miss Jiang?"

"Let's go." Pei Zhijin said calmly, and when he was about to put away his sword, Jiang Xue ran over from not far away.

"Pei Zhijin, what I said last night was not from the heart. I don't like King Cheng at all, and I didn't make any deal with King Cheng."

Pei Zhijin's hand holding the sword tightened inexplicably, and he looked at Jiang Xue with a pair of cold eyes, "Your business has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin's reaction and was obviously very unconvinced. Seeing that Pei Zhijin didn't believe her, she felt very uncomfortable and tried her best to explain, "King Cheng wanted me to do something for him, but I really didn't promise him. I never gave King Cheng any useful information about the treasure map."

"Are you done?" Pei Zhijin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Xue swallowed her saliva and nodded, "Yeah."

"Wen Yu! Send her back immediately!" Pei Zhijin suddenly shouted loudly to Wen Yu, then turned around and left with his sword in hand.

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin who was unmoved and didn't know what to do for a moment. Suddenly she looked at the sword in Pei Zhijin's hand. Now... there was probably only one way.

Thinking about it, he quickly moved in front of Pei Zhijin and asked, "Pei Zhijin, what should I do to make you believe me?"

Pei Zhijin didn't expect Jiang Xue to be so persistent. Even though he had given her the cold shoulder so many times, she still followed him relentlessly.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Xue seemed different from last night. It was no longer charming and cold, but had a bit more warmth and innocence.

Before Pei Zhijin could open his mouth, he heard Jiang Xue say, "What do you want me to do to believe what I say? I really have no relationship with King Cheng. If I do, I, Jiang Xue, will die a miserable death!"

Pei Zhijin's eyes were moved. He could see Jiang Xue's sincerity. Seeing Jiang Xue's anxious eyes looking at him, he finally said softly, "You don't have to be like this. It's not that I don't believe you."

"Do you believe me?" Jiang Xue's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Wang Ziyan watched Pei Zhijin finally give in, and he heaved a sigh of relief, crossing his arms and walking to the side of the two of them, "Hey, look at you, a grown man, but you are so hypocritical, and you have to make Miss Jiang chase you and say it several times."

Pei Zhijin rolled his eyes at Wang Ziyan, then put the sword back in his hand.

Jiang Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Pei Zhijin still didn't believe her, then she would have to suffer some physical injuries in exchange for Pei Zhijin's sympathy. Fortunately, it didn't come to this.

"What happened between you and King Cheng last night?" Wang Ziyan asked Jiang Xue as he looked at her.

Jiang Xue glanced at Pei Zhijin. She knew what Wang Ziyan meant by asking this. He wanted her to tell Pei Zhijin the truth. But how should she explain the two selves in her body now?

Just as they were about to speak, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out from around them, each holding arrows and crossbows and pointing them at them.

Pei Zhijin and Wang Ziyan immediately became alert, and Jiang Xue looked around.

Then there was a sound of clapping.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Jiang Xue felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

Then the applause stopped, and a man in a black robe came out from behind the man in black. The eyes of several people widened slightly.

"Cheng Wang?" Wang Ziyan asked.

Li Lingxuan looked at them with a smile on his face, then looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Xue'er, you have a really good plan. You used this trick of catching a turtle in a jar really cleverly."

Jiang Xue frowned slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by catching a turtle in a jar?"

Li Lingxuan stopped smiling and looked at Jiang Xue in confusion, "Didn't you say that after the Queen Mother's men were dealt with, I would come out and catch them all in one fell swoop? Xue'er, do you want to give all the credit to me?"

"You..." Jiang Xue looked at Li Lingxuan with a smug smile in his eyes, and then cursed: "Shameless, I didn't do that at all?"

"Xue'er, I know you want to get rid of Pei Zhijin, so I'm here to help you. After we get rid of them, I'll take you back and bring you into the palace in a sedan chair to be your princess."
