A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

Seeing this, Su Aige showed no mercy and continued coldly:

I advise you to go back as soon as possible.

Obey your agreement with that person to avoid causing more unnecessary trouble.

......

The woman clearly hadn't expected Su Aige to be so resolute.

She bit her lip and glanced at Sun Shan and the other onlookers.

Seeing that no one seemed inclined to offer help, and that everyone was indifferent to the situation...

Several people even gave her disgusted looks, and a hint of resentment and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

Her original intention was to start with Su Aige, as she was the easiest to talk to among them.

But they all seem to be a group of cold and heartless people.

......

The woman knew there was no hope of escape.

Finally, he had no choice but to leave in resentment, his figure gradually disappearing into the crowd.

As for this little incident that just happened...

No one present took it to heart and quickly went back to their own business.

......

However, the very next morning, as Su Aige stepped out of the inn to go out, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

Thanks to the system's notification, she realized that someone was secretly following her.

So, Su Aige subtly gave Sun Shan a look.

......

Sun Shan understood immediately and whispered in her ear:

"They were sent by the man who bought the girl yesterday."

Sun Shan, as the top martial arts champion, possessed an extraordinary memory.

He has a photographic memory for people he has met only once, so he recognized the identities of these stalkers at a glance.

......

Upon hearing this, Su Aige's face instantly turned gloomy.

That woman from yesterday probably didn't have the ability to order around a man's attendants.

"It must be because my well-intentioned advice to that girl yesterday backfired and she harbored resentment."

That's why I instigated that man in brocade to send people to follow and retaliate against me.

Thinking of this, Su Aige couldn't help but feel annoyed and helpless.

......

And so, Su Aige strolled around the streets as if nothing had happened, before slowly returning to the inn where she was staying.

Today I originally planned to go to the vicinity of the county government office to inquire and see if the place was as peaceful as it seemed.

But I'm afraid that won't work today.

......

To her surprise, it wasn't until she returned to the inn that...

The trackers remained inactive, seemingly unwilling to take any substantial action.

Faced with this situation, Su Aige knew she couldn't just sit and wait to die.

After all, how can one guard against thieves all day long?

......

She turned her bright eyes,

His gaze fell on Guo Si, and he nodded slightly to her.

Guo Si understood.

Immediately afterwards, the two stepped out of the inn again.

Prepare to take the initiative and find out the true purpose of these people.

......

As for Xiao Wu and Sun Shan, both of them, judging from their temperament and demeanor, are martial arts practitioners.

Too conspicuous, clearly not suitable to go along.

Perhaps the person who was following them didn't make a move because they were afraid of Sun Shan and Xiao Wu.

As for Wang Er, Su Aige had already quietly made a decision deep in her heart: she did not want to get too close to him.

......

She made up her mind.

After I return to Beijing, I will definitely find a suitable opportunity to tell him everything frankly.

Recalling the past few days, I had intentionally or unintentionally flirted with Wang Er.

This led him to say some things that he found difficult to accept, causing Su Aige to sigh softly.

......

She was wrong.

People of this era

They won't be the simple couple I imagined.

Guo Si is like this, and so is Wang Er.

She knew all too well that a happy ending was unlikely for her and Wang Er.

Unless His Majesty is merciful and forgives her for the heinous crime of deceiving the Emperor…

......

Wang Er had clearly sensed the subtle change in Su Aige's attitude towards him over the past few days.

She always seemed to intentionally or unintentionally avoid being alone with herself.

Their interaction wasn't unusual, but it felt like they had returned to the way they were when they first met, the kind of friendship they shared.

Wang Er was filled with doubt, unable to understand why Su Aige would suddenly act this way.

But he really couldn't figure it out.

......

"Perhaps you've been too busy lately, Brother Su, to think of me."

Wang Er could only console himself with this thought.

However, when recalling Su Aige's actions before leaving the house,

The fleeting sense of comfort that had just risen in his heart vanished instantly.

......

Just now,

Su Aige first held the half-eaten candied hawthorn to Xiao Wu's mouth.

After letting him take a small bite, she put the candied hawthorn back into Xiao Wu's hand.

Seeing Su Aige's sly expression, Wang Er felt a pang of sadness.

......

Meanwhile, Guo Si, who was following Su Aige, was also pondering the relationship between Su Aige and Xiao Wu.

Although he was also full of curiosity

But he knew that with his current status, he had no right to ask for the reason.

So Guo Si just silently lowered her head.

She would steal glances at Su Aige every now and then, pursing her lips as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

In the end, he chose to remain silent and obediently cooperate with Su Aige as they moved forward.

......

Unbeknownst to them, the two slowly walked toward a quiet alley.

Clearly, their intention was to lure out the snakes and expose those who had been secretly following them.

as predicted,

As the two walked deeper into a secluded alley, they suddenly heard soft footsteps behind them...

......

Su Aige keenly caught the footsteps coming from behind her.

She exchanged a glance with Guo Si beside her.

Guo Si nodded in agreement, and unconsciously quickened his pace.

As their speed increased, the mysterious footsteps behind them also became more rapid.

......

They hurried along until they reached the end of the alley.

Su Aige stopped in her tracks, looked firmly at Guo Si, and gave a slight nod:

"The next step is up to you!"

......

Guo Sixin nodded knowingly.

He flashed forward like a ghost, rushing towards the two people who had been following him.

The movement was so fast, like lightning flashing across the night sky, catching everyone off guard.

......

Before the two could react, Guo Si had already unleashed a fierce attack.

Between the exchange of fists and palms, two muffled groans were heard, and the two pursuers instantly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Si worked quickly and efficiently.

They were bound tightly with the ropes that came with them.

After doing all this, Guo Si turned to look at Su Aige and asked softly:

"What should we do with these two people now?"

......

Su Aige pondered for a moment and replied:

"First, find out who they are, then teach them a small lesson."

Originally, the two of them planned to strip the two guys naked.

They threw it back at the owner's doorstep, so that the owner would lose face.

This also teaches the man in brocade a lesson.

Tell him that you are not someone he can afford to offend.

However, just as they woke the two men up,

Unexpectedly, the two of them seemed to have no fear at all.
