I traveled through time with my best friend.

As soon as she finished speaking, the snake in Jiang Xue's hand flew out. The movement was so fast that two people fell to the ground with foam at the mouth in an instant.

The people behind stopped in horror when they saw this and looked at the two people lying on the ground. They saw a green snake sticking its head out from the neck of one of the corpses, and the people behind were so scared that they stepped back one after another.

The green snake slowly spit out its tongue, raised its body high, and prepared to attack.

Mu Qi looked at the snake in front of him and didn't dare to move. Jiang Xue clapped her hands and said, "Be good, come back."

The green snake immediately turned around and crawled towards Jiang Xue. Pei Zhijin watched the snake coil around Jiang Xue's hand again, frowning, as if he had not expected Jiang Xue to be able to control a snake.

Jiang Xue looked at Mu Qi, then her eyes turned cold, and she said, "Whoever wants to come up, feel free to come up. It just so happens that it hasn't eaten enough yet."

Hearing Jiang Xue's words, Mu Qi's men retreated as if they were afraid of losing their lives. Mu Qi certainly didn't want to die in vain, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"

After Mu Qi and the others had left, the little snake in Jiang Xue's hand obediently hid in her sleeve. Pei Zhijin watched the snake slide in and asked, "Will the snake... not bite you?"

Jiang Xue shook her arms and said with a smile, "No, it won't bite me."

Pei Zhijin wanted to ask Jiang Xue how she drove the snake, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He said, "If that's the case, let's go."

Jiang Xue nodded, "Let's go."

The two of them were walking on the road. Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin, who was silent and serious all the way, and she knew that he was still thinking about what had just happened. She was only thinking about getting rid of Mu Qi's people and forgot about Pei Zhijin's thoughts.

Looking at Pei Zhijin's attitude now, could it be that he is afraid of me and is on guard against me?

"Ahem...Um, Master Pei?"

"what's up?"

"You..." Jiang Xue wanted to ask him if he was on guard against her, but then she changed her mind and felt that it was inappropriate, so she organized her words and said again: "Master Pei, I...that...just now...the snake was..."

Pei Zhijin stopped and looked at Jiang Xue with deep eyes, "Go on."

Jiang Xue closed her mouth, really waiting for her to explain. This man... is really patient.

"I originally studied poison arts. How can I make poison if I don't know how to control a few poisonous creatures? Don't you think so, sir?"

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue who was smiling at him. Of course, he knew those principles, but looking at the snake in Jiang Xue's hand, he was afraid that he would hurt Jiang Xue, so he asked, "Will those poisonous creatures get out of control?"

"No." Jiang Xue quickly shook her head.

Pei Zhijin's expression finally calmed down, and he said softly, "It's good that it's not happening."

Jiang Xue said angrily, "Then sir... have your doubts been resolved?"

Pei Zhijin denied it, "I have no doubts, you are the one who wants to say it." Then he continued walking forward.

Jiang Xue: "...You were clearly waiting for me to explain, but now you're pretending not to care. Men can also say one thing and mean another."

"I can hear everything you say." Pei Zhijin's voice came from the front. Jiang Xue immediately smiled and shouted, "I mean the lord is handsome." Then she immediately trotted behind Pei Zhijin.

Mu Qi hid in the dark and watched the two people's backs gradually go away. The subordinate beside him said worriedly: "Sir, the prince only asked us to kill Pei Zhijin and bring back Miss Jiang. Now we want to kill them both. Will the prince blame us?"

"What are you afraid of?" Mu Qi looked at his subordinates with sharp eyes and said, "Jiang Xue has betrayed the prince. If we don't get rid of her, won't she harm the prince?"

"But......"

"I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong. Now you just need to listen to my orders." Mu Qi interrupted his men and said coldly.

The subordinate paused, then nodded, "Yes."

When Wang Ziyan woke up, he saw Lin Yiyi sitting cross-legged on the stone bed beside him with her eyes closed, looking very uncomfortable.

"Yiyi!" Upon seeing this, Prince Yan immediately stepped forward.

Pei Chong was lying on the side drinking. Seeing Wang Ziyan about to run forward, he warned her, "If you go up now, she might die."

Wang Ziyan paused, then frowned and looked at Pei Chong who was lying beside him, and asked coldly: "What did you do to her?"

Pei Chong took a big sip of wine, then wiped his mouth and looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "You are an idiot, can't you see that she is practicing?"

Wang Ziyan looked at Lin Yiyi again, and only then did he feel the inner strength around Lin Yiyi. He couldn't help but be surprised, "This inner strength... is dense and long, and it keeps coming..."

Then he looked at Pei Chong in disbelief, "Are you from the Pei family?"

"Hey, you know a lot." Pei Chong sat up and said, "Looking at your attire, you must be a rich kid from some wealthy family. But since you know I'm from the Pei family, you must be from the capital?"

Prince Yan said as he walked up to Pei Chong and bowed respectfully, "I am Prince Yan, a junior from the capital..."

Before Wang Ziyan could finish his words, Pei Chong interrupted him and said, "People from the Marquis' Mansion."

Prince Yan then looked at Pei Chong and asked, "What's your name, junior?"

"Just call me old man."

Wang Ziyan stood up and sat next to Pei Chong, smiling and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Pei Chong."

"How did you know that?" Pei Chong looked at Wang Ziyan with interest.

Prince Yan immediately said, "When I was a child, I often heard my father mention the great achievements of you, father, and the late emperor."

"This old guy still loves to show off." Although Pei Chong said this, he was still very pleased in his heart. He didn't expect that the old guy still remembered all this.

"Senior, was it really you who killed the man who took the Wuji Pearl?"

Pei Chong took a sip of wine, looked at Wang Ziyan and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"I heard from my father that the owner of Fengyun Tower took the Wuji Pearl and wanted to save his wife. As a result, the people were living in misery and the world was almost turned upside down. Thanks to you, he didn't succeed."

Pei Chong smiled bitterly after hearing this, "That old guy really doesn't shy away from telling you everything."

"Really, senior?" Wang Ziyan looked at Pei Chong impatiently.

Pei Chong's eyes flashed with a dark light, and then he looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "So what if you know? That happened more than ten years ago. There's no point in talking about it now."

Seeing that Pei Chong was unwilling to talk, Wang Ziyan stopped asking and had to suppress the doubts in his heart. Then he sat down, supported his head with one hand and looked in the direction of Lin Yiyi.

"Why did you choose Yiyi, Senior?"

Pei Chong also looked in the direction of Lin Yiyi and said like a treasure: "Because only she can learn this skill."

Wang Ziyan turned around in confusion and asked, "Your power won't hurt her body, right?"

Pei Chong narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Ziyan, "Boy, do you like her?"
