A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times

Chapter 31

Several short arrows flew in from the doorway, and several black-clad figures quickly dodged, although they were still hit, but not fatally.

Su Mo held a whip and stood at the doorway, with Sang Li, Xiao Han, and Xia Miaomiao standing beside her, each wielding a sword crossbow.

"Hmph, Wu Ying, I misjudged you!" Su Mo's eyes were cold as she swung the whip, engaging in a fierce fight with the black-clad figures, venting her anger by ruthlessly lashing at them.

"On these arrows, we applied poison. If you resist again, you will be poisoned to death!" Sang Li's icy voice echoed from the doorway.

Upon hearing this, the black-clad figures immediately stopped their actions.

Sang Li had anticipated this. If Wu Ying had informed Aunt San that they had escaped from the prison, she would definitely send people to kill them.

So they had prepared in advance, and Xiao Han had made the poison, while they all lay in ambush, waiting for their enemies to fall into the trap.

Su Mo swung the whip, entangling it around the neck of one of the black-clad figures and asked coldly, "Tell me, did Wu Ying inform you of our whereabouts?"

"We... don't know. We were just paid to do the job..." the black-clad figure hurriedly replied.

"Who gave you the money?!"

"We don't know. That person wore a mask, but their voice was that of a woman!" the black-clad figure quickly answered.

"Interesting, Aunt San, I want to see what your relationship with Wu Ying is!" Su Mo raised the whip and ran out. She was infuriated beyond belief. Little did she expect that after just meeting Wu Ying tonight, Aunt San's people would come looking for them!

"Mo Mo!" Sang Li wanted to stop her, but she couldn't. Su Mo had already disappeared.

"Xiao Han, Miaomiao, you handle these three people. I'll go find Mo Mo!"

Xia Miaomiao hurriedly grabbed her. "No, Sister Li, Mo Mo knows martial arts. We'll be even more worried if you go!"

"She's filled with anger right now, and I'm afraid Wu Ying might harm her! Don't worry, I've got this." Sang Li shook the sword crossbow in her hand.

"Detain these three individuals. Let's go together!" Xiao Han said. "Even if we have to die, the four of us will die together! I still have some poison powder. It might come in handy."

"Sister Li, even though I'm the burden among us, I'm not afraid of death! Besides, the fact that we've traveled through time is already outrageous. Who knows, maybe if we die, we can go back." Xia Miaomiao also spoke up.

Sang Li paused for a moment, then finally said, "Alright."

The three of them turned to look at the three black-clad figures, only to see them scratching their bodies vigorously, as if something was crawling on them.

"The poison must be taking effect!" Xiao Han said. "They must be feeling incredibly itchy."

"Ladies, we were wrong. Please give us the antidote!" one of the black-clad figures pleaded.

"Hiring assassins? If we don't teach you a lesson, you think we four girls are easy to bully?"

They tied up the three black-clad figures with ropes, making it impossible for them to scratch themselves, causing their discomfort to worsen.

...

Su Mo arrived at the Bai family's residence. At this time, almost everyone in the Bai family was already asleep, and there wasn't a single figure in the courtyard.

She climbed over the wall and went straight to Aunt San's room.

As Su Mo walked along the corridor, she suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the adjacent room.

Furrowing her brow, she looked up and realized that it was Master Bai's study.

Su Mo immediately walked to the doorway and pressed her ear against it to listen to the sounds coming from inside.

She heard faint footsteps approaching the door, so Su Mo quickly stepped aside.

The door opened quietly, and a figure dressed in black stepped out of the room.

Su Mo swung her whip, but the black-clad figure swiftly dodged, though not without being grazed by the whip. The black face mask on the person's face unexpectedly fell to the ground.

Su Mo looked over and sneered, "Aunt San, I was just about to look for you!"

"It's you again! How are you still unharmed?!" Aunt San exclaimed in surprise.

"Thinking of killing me? You're not worthy!" Su Mo coldly remarked as she continued to lash out with her whip, engaging in a fight with Aunt San.

Aunt San was forced to retreat under Su Mo's relentless strikes. Just as the whip was about to land on Aunt San's face, a figure suddenly flew over and grabbed Su Mo's whip with their hand.

"If you don't come out now, she'll beat me to death!" Aunt San glared at Wu Ying.

However, Wu Ying's face was completely covered, with only a pair of eyes showing.

"Heh, with your face so well-covered, should I pretend not to know you? Wu Ying, you've disappointed me!" Su Mo's eyes reddened slightly.

Wu Ying was taken aback, not expecting Su Mo to recognize him.

"What is your relationship with her, after all?!" Su Mo questioned.

"Heh, what relationship?" Aunt San laughed and reached out to hold Wu Ying's arm. "Tell me, what relationship is it?"

"Let go!" Wu Ying said coldly.

Aunt San reluctantly released her grip. "Wu Ying, you better think carefully about your own identity!"

Wu Ying lowered his eyes and let go of Su Mo's whip.

With teary eyes, Su Mo said, "So, those three people who came to kill me today were acting on your orders, right?"

Wu Ying furrowed his brow and looked at Aunt San, who shifted her gaze uneasily.

"Since we've already obtained the treasure map, if we don't leave now, the Bai family will discover us!" Aunt San changed the subject.

"Do you think it was just a coincidence that you were able to enter the study so easily?" Bai Yunhan's voice came from outside the courtyard.

They all turned their heads and saw Bai Yunhan leading a group of people, with torches in their hands, entering the scene. Sang Li, Xia Miaomiao, and Xiao Han followed Bai Yunhan.

"Su Mo, are you alright?" Sang Li worriedly asked.

Su Mo walked over, her voice somewhat broken, "Sister Li, I'm fine..."

Sang Li embraced her and patted her head. "Good girl, I was afraid you would act impulsively."

"Aunt San, you've infiltrated the Bai family for two years, even going so far as to kill my father, all for this treasure map?" Bai Yunhan's voice carried a chill. "My father treated you well, didn't he? Who exactly are you?"

"Bai Yunhan, do you really think you and your people can deal with the two of us?" Aunt San sneered.

"Is that so?" Bai Yunhan clapped his hands, and a row of arrows rained down from the opposite rooftop, landing at Aunt San's feet.

"You..."

"These people have long been lying in ambush, waiting for your move."

Bai Yunhan looked at Wu Ying, his eyes filled with confusion. "Wu Ying, no, I should call you... Bai Yi Chen, my dear cousin."

Su Mo and the others looked at Wu Ying in astonishment. Wu Ying was Bai Yunhan's cousin??

"You recognized me a long time ago?" Wu Ying said in a deep voice.

"Since the first time I saw you, I felt that your eyes were familiar. When the doctor treated your injury, I noticed the mark on your wrist. I just wanted to see what you were up to by entering the Bai family. I never expected that you were in cahoots with Aunt San!" Bai Yunhan explained.

Wu Ying removed the black face towel, revealing a three-dimensional and sharply defined face. However, there was a bluish-purple mark on his cheekbone that didn't match the rest of his face.

"Your face..." Bai Yunhan was surprised when he saw it.

Not only him, but even Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao were astonished.

"Bai Yunhan, aren't you surprised to see me still alive?" Wu Ying coldly looked at him.

"You came to the Bai family... for revenge? Did you order Aunt San to kill my father?" Bai Yunhan asked.

"You're wrong. Bai Zhen's death has nothing to do with him!" Aunt San sneered. "This person has no heart. Even when his parents died tragically, he didn't seek revenge. I just couldn't stand it anymore, so when I came to the Bai family looking for the treasure map, I thought I would avenge him. Wu Ying, you should thank me!"

Wu Ying looked at Aunt San with a murderous gaze. "Ru Yue, don't think that we're from the same sect, and I won't kill you!"

"Yes, Wu Ying, you've always been merciless when it comes to killing. But why don't you go and kill your enemies? Don't forget, your parents were killed by Bai Zhen. Everyone in the Bai family here is your enemy!" Aunt San taunted.

Wu Ying seemed provoked. He grabbed Ru Yue's neck and said sternly, "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"

"Bai Yi Chen, it was indeed my father who wronged Uncle and Aunt. If you want this treasure map, you can take it." Bai Yunhan stepped forward, getting closer to Wu Ying. "We had such a good relationship when we were young. I don't believe you would really kill me! Now that my father is dead, let all grievances come to an end. Can we agree on that?"

Wu Ying didn't know what to feel. He had never thought of killing Bai Yunhan, or anyone from the Bai family, for that matter.

He was just an emotionless killing machine, without hatred and love. In his eyes, there were only the tasks given by the Dark Cabinet's leader.

"As for this treasure map, it's just a legend. Do you really think there's something in this world that can distort time and space, bring people back to life?" Bai Yunhan's words shocked all four of them.

Sang Li immediately rushed forward and grabbed Bai Yunhan's arm, excitedly asking, "What did you say? Time and space distortion?"
