I traveled through time with my best friend.

When the person following behind saw the two people separate, he hesitated, not knowing who to follow.

"Brother, which side should we follow?" the subordinate asked.

The leader was wearing a grey coarse cloth and carrying a candied haws stick on his shoulder. He watched Lin Yiyi's back gradually disappear in the crowd.

He said in a cold voice: "Look, that woman should be easy to catch. You go catch the woman first, and I'll catch the man."

"Yes."

That subordinate then led four of his men and walked quickly towards Lin Yiyi, while the leader moved quickly towards Wang Ziyan while shouting "selling candied haws".

Lin Yiyi walked towards the deserted alley while browsing the ornaments nearby. She stopped in front of a stall that sold masks. The stall owner smiled and said, "Girl, the Flower Festival is coming soon. Do you want to pick out a nice mask?"

Lin Yiyi looked at the stall owner, "Flower Festival?"

"Yes." Seeing that Lin Yiyi seemed to have never heard of it, the stall owner smiled and said, "Is this your first time in Anzhou?"

"Yes."

"You're in luck. In Anzhou, we hold a flower festival every three years. There will be a bridal sedan parade in the evening. It's so lively. On the night of the flower festival, there will be many handsome men and women wearing masks on the street, expressing their feelings to each other through the masks."

The stall owner felt that he had said too much, so he simply said: "Well, to put it bluntly, the Flower Festival is the time for girls to find their ideal husbands."

Seeing that Lin Yiyi was alone, the stall owner asked, "Do you have a man you like? If so, it's not easy to express your feelings to him in person. You can express your feelings through the mask during the flower festival. In that atmosphere, maybe you will succeed."

Lin Yiyi watched the stall owner speaking hard in order to sell his masks, and then she looked at the masks awkwardly.

Those masks all looked very delicate. Lin Yiyi then picked up a fox mask and said, "This one looks good."

"You have good taste, this mask is loved by many girls and is also the best seller."

When Lin Yiyi heard this, she looked at the stall owner and said, "So a lot of girls bought it?"

"Yes." said the stall owner happily.

Lin Yiyi immediately put down the mask and said, "Then I don't want this one anymore." Then she looked at the other masks.

The stall owner quickly said, "The girl can take a look at other masks. These masks I made are very beautiful."

Lin Yiyi looked at the mask while paying attention to the movements behind her. Seeing that those people seemed anxious, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Then he picked up the top red mask, on which was a lifelike red spider lily.

Lin Yiyi picked it up and tried it on her face. The red mask covered her bright eyes, making her skin look like cream and revealing her pink lips. The red spider lilies on it seemed as if they were printed on her face, making her look bright and mysterious at first glance.

The stall owner quickly took out a bronze mirror and pointed it at Lin Yiyi, saying in amazement: "Girl, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen wearing this mask. It suits you very well."

Lin Yiyi looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied, so she said to the stall owner: "I want this."

"Got it."

The stall owner happily put down the bronze mirror.

Lin Yiyi took off the mask and looked at the azure mask beside her, which was dotted with a few pearls. It reminded Lin Yiyi of the mermaid in the deep sea, cold and otherworldly.

"That...I want it too."

The stall owner happily wrapped the mask and said, "You have a good taste, young lady. These two masks are my most proud works. Wearing them will surely help you find your ideal husband."

Lin Yiyi took the mask and handed the silver to the stall owner. She didn't know why, but when she heard the stall owner say that, she always thought of Wang Ziyan in her mind.

He shook his head and asked the stall owner, "When is the flower festival you mentioned?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"Thanks."

"Go slowly, girl!" the stall owner shouted to Lin Yiyi who was already walking away.

Lin Yiyi held the two masks in her hands, and her mood became cheerful as she thought that she could go to the flower festival with Xueer the day after tomorrow. It would surely be very lively.

His ears suddenly moved slightly, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer from behind, "It seems like it's time to get down to business." After saying that, he quickly stepped into the alley on the side.

The person following behind saw Lin Yiyi turn into the alley next to her and hurriedly followed her, but the alley turned out to be a dead end and Lin Yiyi was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are the people?" asked the leader.

"Everyone, are you looking for me?" Lin Yiyi's voice came from above.

Several people immediately looked up and saw Lin Yiyi sitting casually on the eaves, looking at the people below with amusement in her eyes.

The people below immediately became alert, and the leader looked at Lin Yiyi and said, "Miss, do you want to come down by yourself or do we catch you?"

Lin Yiyi curled the corners of her mouth and stretched out her hand, saying, "No need, I can get down by myself." Then she turned around and landed steadily on the ground.

The leader looked at Lin Yiyi's light figure, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and blurted out: "You can do Qinggong?"

"Well, I know a lot more. Do you want to try it?"

A subordinate beside him reminded him, "Brother, this woman might be good at fighting."

"What are you afraid of? How powerful can a woman be?"

When Lin Yiyi heard this, a chill rose in her eyes. She looked at the leading man and said, "Hey, if you underestimate a woman, you will suffer a great loss. You might even lose your life."

The leader looked at Lin Yiyi with a cold look in his eyes, and then ordered: "Quick battle, catch her!"

After he finished speaking, the three men behind him walked towards Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi looked at the three people approaching, moved her neck slightly, looked at the person walking in front, and then kicked him.

"Ah!" One of the men was kicked to the feet of the leader.

The others immediately became alert upon seeing this. Lin Yiyi yawned and said, "Too slow. Why don't you all... come together?"

Seeing this, the leading man drew out the dagger from his sleeve and shouted, "Let's attack together!"

As they spoke, the four of them attacked Lin Yiyi together.

In a short while, the four men were knocked to the ground by Lin Yiyi and groaned in pain.

Although Lin Yiyi's eyes were smiling, there was a hint of coldness in her smile. She stepped on the back of the man who had just taken the lead and said in a cold voice: "Now... we should talk about... who do you belong to?"

Although the leading man was stepped on, the stubbornness in his eyes did not fade at all. He turned his head to look at Lin Yiyi and said, "Hmph, you won't know." As he said that, he bit the poison hidden in his mouth and died instantly.

Seeing this, Lin Yiyi quickly squatted down to sniff his breath, frowning, "It turned out to be a dead soldier."
