I traveled through time with my best friend.

Jiang Xue was surprised after hearing this. "You mean...he is from your Pei family?"

"Yes." Pei Zhijin nodded.

Jiang Xue was completely confused. Why were people from the Pei family here?

"Let's go." Pei Zhijin said lightly.

Jiang Xue was confused and had no choice but to follow Pei Zhijin and continue walking forward. The corridor was terribly quiet, so quiet that she could even hear the two people's breathing.

"Well..." Jiang Xue paused, thought for a moment and said, "After you find these treasures, is the next step to deal with the Queen Mother and King Cheng?"

Pei Zhijin walked in front with a frown on his face, then he said calmly, "It's better for you to know less about those things."

"If I don't know now, it will cost me my life." Jiang Xue said directly, and then took two quick steps and walked side by side with Pei Zhijin. The faint firelight shone on Pei Zhijin's profile.

"Master Pei, we are now on the same side. If you lose, I lose too."

Pei Zhijin stopped and looked at Jiang Xue. His eyebrows were deep and his eyes were dark. Hidden in the dim light, Pei Zhijin looked even colder and less approachable.

"Um...that...of course I hope that you can win." Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin with a smile.

Pei Zhijin's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he said, "Since you are on my side, I will protect your life. As for other things, it is not your concern."

When Jiang Xue heard this, her eyebrows moved, and she looked at Pei Zhijin with a smile and said, "Does your Excellency mean that you will always protect me?"

After hearing this, Pei Zhijin suddenly felt heat coming towards his face and his heartbeat quickened.

Although the firelight was dim, Jiang Xue still saw that Pei Zhijin's face seemed to be red, so she tiptoed towards Pei Zhijin and pointed at his face curiously and said, "Sir, why are you blushing?"

Pei Zhijin touched his face and it seemed a little hot.

"I..." Pei Zhijin choked.

Jiang Xue put down her tiptoes, turned around and laughed quietly. Lord Pei was really easy to tease.

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue with her back to him, and then he realized that he had just been teased by Jiang Xue. His eyebrows immediately fell, and he said to Jiang Xue: "Is it funny?"

"Funny." Jiang Xue couldn't help but nodded. Then she realized that the voice that had just asked her was Pei Zhijin's. She hurriedly covered her mouth and turned around to look.

"Hehe, I am touched. I am touched to have the protection of Master Pei."

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue's bright smile, as if the woman in front of him could always affect his emotions.

Jiang Xue straightened her voice, put down her hands and talked about business: "Master Pei, I hope we can fight side by side. I don't need anyone's protection, and you don't need to protect me like a woman like Han Qingqing."

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue as she spoke seriously, and then he realized that Jiang Xue in front of him seemed to be indeed different from other women. She was strategic, smart, and did not rely on anyone.

"How is it?" Jiang Xue asked Pei Zhijin.

Pei Zhijin nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiang Xue then retracted her serious expression and asked, "Then Sir Pei, can you tell me if you have any problems in the future?"

"kindness."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue pointed ahead with a smile in her eyes and said, "Then let's continue on our journey."

Pei Zhijin took the lead and walked in front, followed by Jiang Xue. Looking at Pei Zhijin's broad back and tall figure, Jiang Xue couldn't help but shook her head, muttering, "No, she decided to get Pei Zhijin. Just watching without doing anything is not her style."

As for Lin Yiyi, after being abducted, she was placed in a secret room and left alone. Lin Yiyi searched for all possible mechanisms in the secret room, but still couldn't find a way out.

Lin Yiyi patted the stone door in frustration. Why did this person kidnap her here? There was no one in sight?

Just as she was thinking about it, the stone door in front of her suddenly moved. Lin Yiyi immediately looked over vigilantly and saw an old man in tattered clothes holding the unconscious Wang Ziyan in his hands.

Lin Yiyi frowned, drew out the soft sword from her waist and pointed it at the old man, saying coldly: "What are you going to do? Let him go."

The old man looked at the prince banquet in his hand, threw it in without mercy, and then clapped his hands and said, "Give it back to you, this kid is really making people noisy."

Lin Yiyi quickly ran to Wang Ziyan and patted his face with a worried look, "Wang Ziyan, Wang Ziyan!"

The old man had messy black and white hair, a long beard, and dark skin. Seeing Lin Yiyi calling Wang Ziyan all the time, he scratched his ear impatiently and shouted at Lin Yiyi: "Stop making so much noise. If you keep calling me, I will make him really unable to get up."

Lin Yiyi stopped talking, looked up at the old man, picked up the sword in her hand and pointed it at the old man, saying sternly: "What do you want to do?"

Although the old man was fat, he was very agile. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yiyi's sword was in the old man's hand.

The old man was playing with the soft sword in his hand. He flicked the sword with his clumsy fingers and the sword broke immediately.

"It's boring. This broken sword is not fun at all."

Lin Yiyi was shocked when she saw that the old man in front of her could break a sword with just a snap of his fingers. Her nerves were tense. If the old man wanted to kill her and Wang Ziyan, wouldn't it be easy?

The old man looked at Lin Yiyi who was staring at him, and quickly moved in front of Lin Yiyi. Then he looked at Lin Yiyi with a smile on his face and said, "You are so funny, girl, your name is Yiyi?"

Lin Yiyi took a step back, clenched her fists, and said nothing.

The old man seemed unwilling to give up until he got the answer he wanted, and kept questioning Lin Yiyi.

"Girl, why don't you speak? Are you mute?" The old man stared at Lin Yiyi with his round eyes.

Lin Yiyi knew that she couldn't run away, so she nodded and said, "So what?"

"Hehe." The old man laughed innocently, then turned around and sat on the steps not far away, with one leg raised. "It's a good name. I like it, old man."

Lin Yiyi looked at the old man in front of her who was always smiling and had no murderous aura. Her expression relaxed a little. Before Lin Yiyi could react, the old man moved closer to her again.

"How about you become my disciple?"

Lin Yiyi: ".....Is there something wrong with this person's brain?"

Unable to wait for Lin Yiyi's answer, the old man asked impatiently: "How is it? How is it? How is it?"

Lin Yiyi was so angry that she asked directly: "Are you sick?"

The old man was stunned by Lin Yiyi's scolding. The air froze for a few seconds. The old man laughed again and pointed at Wang Ziyan and said, "If you take me as your master, I will save him."

Lin Yiyi looked at Wang Ziyan and thought that Wang Ziyan’s poison had just been cured, so did he still need him to do it?

The old man's voice sounded again, "I just fed him poison."
