After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Chapter 141 Failure

Xia Nian stood there, her face pale under the moonlight, looking fragile and beautiful.

Xiahou Yu immediately turned around, sheathed his sword, and ran towards Xia Nian.

Qin Hanlin poked his head out to take a look in disbelief, and his eyes suddenly widened.

It's really Xia Nian! Nothing happened to her!

Xiahou Yu reached out to support her, and put away his anger: "Anian, why did you wake up?"

Xia Nian's eyes were still a little red, she must not have rested well. He regretted disturbing her rest and should re-examine her tomorrow.

Xia Nian shook his head and grabbed his sleeves with both arms: "Xiahou Yu, that person is not Xiao Xian, I remember."

Xiahou Yu frowned and asked, "But I saw him ask you out with my own eyes."

"That's right. I suspected it on the way. The way he spoke was very different from Xiao Xian. Later I noticed that he had no birthmark behind his ear, but Xiao Xian had one." Xia Nian analyzed calmly, his voice still a little hoarse.

Xiahou Yu's heart tightened. He was about to speak when Xia Nian said, "He took me to a small teahouse on South Street. I remember it was called... Bamboo Leaf Teahouse. He drugged me in the tea. But he didn't succeed. I knocked him out and ran away..."

"Stop talking." Xiahou Yu suddenly hugged her, "Anian, I won't fight with you anymore. You don't know how much I regret it."

Xia Nian's body stiffened slightly, and a faint mist appeared in her eyes. She hugged Xia Houyu back and said softly, "This is not your fault."

She had encountered such a dangerous thing, and now she was still comforting herself. Xiahou Yu slowly let go and grabbed her shoulders, the pain in his eyes seemed to overflow.

Xia Nian looked at Xia Houyu gratefully, thinking that she met Xia Houyu after she came out and it was he who saved her.

After listening to her expressionless narration of these experiences, Xiahou Yu just wanted to find the man who had offended him tonight and skin him alive.

He turned around and ordered Qi Sheng to take Xiao Xian away, and then take people to seal off the teahouse.

"He disguised himself as Xiao Xian to harm me just to sow discord between you. You must not be fooled." Xia Nian coughed twice and warned.

Xiahou Yu held her in his arms again, and stroked the top of her head with his big hands: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. If I had followed you, this wouldn't have happened."

Xia Nian closed her eyes. His warm chest was so reassuring. She actually felt aggrieved, but she endured it and didn't show it: "It's not your fault. To be precise, I was too careless."

Xiahou Yu stroked her cheek with his rough thumb and said, "It's windy outside, let's go inside."

Xia Nian nodded and caught a glimpse of Qin Hanlin outside. She didn't say anything and went back to the house with Xia Houyu.

Qin Hanlin stared at the ground in a daze - Han Liuyi's plan failed, and Xia Nian was fine.

Moreover, Xiahou Yu's behavior clearly put Xia Nian first, and she could calm Xiahou Yu down with just a few words.

"How could this happen?" she murmured to herself.

Fortunately, this matter has little to do with her, so she doesn't have to worry about it getting in trouble.

But in this way, the relationship between Xiahou Yu and Xiao Xian did not deteriorate, and Xiahou Yu even felt more sympathy for Xia Nian.

Not worth the candle.

Inside the room, Xia Nian was carried to the bed by Xia Hou Yu.

She took a sip of water, feeling lucky that she had escaped, and couldn't help but heaving a sigh of relief.

Xiahou Yu sat aside with a frown on his face, as if he was the one who was drugged tonight.

Xia Nian put down the bowl and saw a dark bruise under his eye.

She moved her fingertips slightly and reached out to smooth his beautiful eyebrows.

Xiahou Yu subconsciously grabbed her hand and asked worriedly, "Anian, are you still feeling unwell?"

Xia Nian shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just about tonight..."

Xiahou Yu's eyebrows turned cold: "This matter is not simple, and that person is not simple either, he can disguise himself."

Xia Nian recalled and found there was really no useful information, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"Anian, don't think about it. I've sent someone to investigate. You go to sleep first." Xiahou Yu tucked the quilt beside her legs. His voice was very gentle, and there was a strong attachment in his eyes.

Xia Nian grabbed his hand, his eyes flickering: "Xia Houyu, thank you."

Xiahou Yu forced a smile and said, "Don't thank me, An Nian."

-

Qin Hanlin sat down uneasily beside the bed, waiting for Han Liuyi.

The plan against Xia Nian failed, so she should have come to inform her.

As she expected, when her anxiety reached its critical point, Han Liuyi opened the window and jumped in from outside, scaring Qin Hanlin.

"What should I do? Xiahou Yu is very angry." Qin Hanlin stood up with a pale face when he saw her coming.

Han Liuyi was relatively calm. She said, "Don't worry. We didn't leave any evidence."

"That's good, but why didn't the plan succeed?" Qin Hanlin breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried.

Han Liuyi said: "A small incident happened. You don't have to worry. This has almost nothing to do with you."

Qin Hanlin held the handkerchief in her hand, thinking of Xiahou Yu's appearance in the yard, she was still frightened, and said with a trembling voice: "I don't want to continue... Xiahou Yu is too scary, he didn't even let go of his confidants, let alone me."

Han Liuyi sat down next to her and said softly, "That's why you don't have to worry about him showing mercy to Xia Houjing."

Qin Hanlin opened his mouth slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly.

Han Liuyi smiled brightly, and her clear pupils flashed a strange light under the candlelight.

She stood up, her back straight, not angry about the defeat.

"I'm leaving now. I'll find you if I need anything." After she said that, she left immediately.

-

The next day, Xia Nian slept until the afternoon. When she opened her eyes, she suddenly found her hand being held warmly. She tilted her head and met Xia Hou Yu's eyes.

His eyes were still clear, but there was an unconcealable sadness in them. Seeing Xia Nian waking up, he felt more attached to her and forced himself to suppress the slight worry.

"Anian, you're awake. Do you want some water?" he asked quickly.

Xia Nian shook her head, staring at him with dry eyes. She was silent for a long while before speaking: "Xia Houyu, didn't you get any rest last night?"

Xiahou Yu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled harmlessly and said, "I'm afraid you'll be scared at night, so I'm here to guard you."

Xia Nian's fingers paused, and then she realized that he was holding her tightly with both hands, as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

"Don't worry, I'm fine now." She said, her eyes softening.

Xiahou Yu nodded, helped her sit up, and poured her a glass of water.

"How is it going? Did you find out anything last night?" After drinking the sweet water, Xia Nian became much more sober and immediately asked about what happened last night.

Xiahou Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said: "Qi Sheng found the jade pendant of Bishui Villa on the street below."

"Bishui Villa?" Xia Nian pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Han Liuyi had mentioned this sect before.

"Didn't Master Yi say that this sect rarely causes trouble? Why did he bother to sow discord between you and Xiao Xian?" Xia Nian expressed the doubts in his mind.

Xia Houyu held her arm tightly and said, "This matter is not simple. They deliberately framed Xiao Xian just to kill two birds with one stone."

Xia Nian lowered his eyes. It was indeed as Xia Hou Yu said.

Xiao Xian is Xiahou Yu's confidant, and she is the person Xiahou Yu likes. If that person really did something to her in front of Xiao Xian, Xiahou Yu would definitely not show mercy.

For Xia Nian, her body and mind were devastated, Xiao Xian lost his life, Xiahou Yu lost his confidant, and it was impossible for Xia Nian to be with him.

No matter how you look at it, they are not losing out.

"But Bishui Villa...why do this?" Xia Nian breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was careful enough.

"Whether this was done by Bishui Villa is one thing, but what's more important is that someone in the martial arts world is targeting you." Xiahou Yu's breathing was a little heavy, because he brought danger to Xia Nian.

Xia Nian was speechless for a moment, but she was more worried about Tao Tao and Meng Yin.

They really have that kind of relationship with Gu Lingyiqing.

Xiahou Yu pursed his lips and decided to discuss the matter with the other three people. However, those three people received the news on the jade slip and went out to verify it. They would not be back until a day later.

"Xiahou Yu, take me back to Yi Mansion. I need to talk to Yinyin and the others about this." Xia Nian said, lifting the quilt, "I need to change clothes."

Xiahou Yu suddenly laughed and said, "Anian, I actually changed the clothes you are wearing for you."

Xia Nian said nothing, just looked at him silently, with no emotion visible in her beautiful eyes.

"Well, it was the maid who changed it..." Xiahou Yu muttered as he stood up, "A Nian's eyes were so fierce."

After saying that, he walked out of the room quickly.

Xia Nian looked at the ponytail hanging behind him. Like everyone else, he looked listless. She was amused and suddenly laughed out loud.

Xiahou Yu naturally heard it, he just raised the corner of his mouth and closed the door.

No matter what, as long as Anian is happy.
