A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times

"What? But it's so hot, Wu Ying! I'm telling you, where we're from, it's very normal to bare our arms and legs! Our outfits when you first saw us were the norm for our place!" Su Mo explained to him.

Wu Ying frowned, his eyes looking at her with some displeasure, "From now on, you cannot dress like that!"

"..."

Doesn't seem like it, but this Wu Ying is quite possessive!

No, he's from ancient times, so he definitely doesn't understand like her, a modern person.

Oh well, I won't argue with him about it!

Just as Su Mo was about to say something, Wu Ying suddenly grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers.

Then, Su Mo felt a cool sensation sweeping through her whole body, instantly refreshed and much less hot!

Su Mo looked at him in surprise, "Wow, how did you do that?"

"It's simple. Anyone with inner power can do it."

Su Mo seemed to have discovered a new world, "Wow! So your so-called inner power, not only can heat things up, but also cool things down?"

"..."

"Can you teach me? And also your lightness skill, teach me that too, okay?" Su Mo smiled at him.

Wu Ying was rather puzzled, "You're so good at fighting, yet you don't know lightness skills?"

"Yeah, if I knew lightness skills, I'd definitely be even stronger! You'll teach me, right?" Su Mo held his hand as she looked up at him.

Wu Ying looked at her little face, as if it had some magic power, he inexplicably reached out and pinched her cheek.

Su Mo was stunned, not expecting him to make this move.

Wu Ying's gaze fell on her lips, and suddenly he felt his heart beat faster.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he backed away somewhat flustered.

"You..." Su Mo looked at his series of actions, seemingly understanding something.

She raised the corners of her mouth and took another step closer to him, intentionally saying: "Wu Ying, you lecher!"

"..."

"You actually have indecent thoughts about me?"

"I...don't!" Wu Ying denied guiltily and immediately walked away.

"You do, you do! Just now you clearly did!" Su Mo laughed as she chased after him.

In the evening, the sky was filled with the glow of sunset.

It cast the entire Lan City in a peaceful and auspicious light.

Today, after dealing with matters at the money shops, Bai Yunhan went to Wenge Pavilion with Yi and Fang Qing.

But they discovered all the doors at Wenge Pavilion were closed.

The three entered the courtyard, finding it silent, lacking the previous lively laughter and chatter.

Even the peppers and herbs that were previously drying outside were gone.

"Huh? Where are Sister Su and the others?" Yi asked in puzzlement as he knocked on the door.

"Looks like no one's here." Fang Qing said.

Bai Yunhan had a bad feeling and walked over to directly push open the door.

The room inside was tidy and in order.

"Did they go out?" Yi asked in confusion.

"Doesn't seem like it. Many things are missing."

Bai Yunhan scanned the room, and a letter on the table caught his eye.

He immediately went over and picked up the letter, hastily opening it.

The elegant handwriting entered his vision.

[Young Master Bai, thank you for taking us in during this time. Now that Old Master Bai's matter has come to an end, my sisters and I should also leave the Bai family. Please forgive our sudden departure, until we meet again. Sang Li]

Yi and Fang Qing came over and also saw the contents of the letter.

"What does this mean? Sister Su and the others left?" Yi said in surprise.

Fang Qing's face also flashed a hint of loss. "How could they leave so suddenly without a word? This is too abrupt!"

Bai Yunhan knitted his brows. Just earlier, Sang Li had said they would open some chess and card parlor, and that she would make a proposal for him to see. How could they just up and leave like this? Did something happen?

"Where could those four girls have gone?"

Bai Yunhan clenched the letter in his hand. "Send people to look for them immediately!"

"Yes!"

Bai Yunhan had been dizzyingly busy these past few days, leaving early and returning late every day.

Today, because he had to send people to look for Sang Li and the others, he immediately returned to the Bai residence.

Just after entering the courtyard, Wang Fu called out to him.

"Young Master, the Lady is looking for you and is waiting in the rear garden."

"Alright." Bai Yunhan looked at Wang Fu, "Uncle Fu, those four ladies left so suddenly without a word. Send some people to look for them."

Wang Fu hesitated. "Young Master, since they've left, they must have a reason. Now that Old Master's matter is over, they have no reason to keep staying at the Bai residence."

Bai Yunhan knitted his brows. "They must have encountered some trouble, otherwise why would they leave so abruptly?"

"Young Master, after all, they are outsiders. Do you plan to keep them in the Bai residence forever?" Wang Fu retorted.

Bai Yunhan seemed to understand something. "Was it you who made them leave?"

Wang Fu didn't say anything.

Bai Yunhan knew Wang Fu didn't have that authority, so Lady Bai must be involved. He immediately strode towards the rear garden.

"Han'er, you've returned? Come, sit." Lady Bai sipped some tea while looking over portraits of some young ladies.

"Mother, was it you who made Sister Sang and the others leave the Bai residence?" Bai Yunhan confronted Lady Bai as soon as he arrived at the pavilion.

The smile on Lady Bai's face disappeared. She looked at Bai Yunhan and sternly said, "How dare you speak to your mother in this tone?"

"..." Bai Yunhan realized his tone was somewhat harsh just now. He lowered his eyes, "I'm sorry, Mother. It's just that they weren't living at our residence, so why did you make them leave?"

"Han'er! Those girls have unclear backgrounds. Do you plan to support them for life? If others find out you're keeping four girls outside, which family's daughter would still be willing to marry you?!"

"That's not even comparable. Where did I keep them? I only let them live at Wenge Pavilion, how is that so disgraceful? We were merely friends!"

Lady Bai coldly said, "Since you were only friends, then it's only natural there would be a time of parting!"

"But they did help us out, how could you be in such a hurry to drive them away?"

"Pa!" Lady Bai slammed her hand on the table. "Enough! When they left I gave them quite a bit of silver, so I was benevolent to the end! Han'er, don't think I don't know you have feelings for that Sang Li! I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"

Bai Yunhan looked at Lady Bai, feeling like she had become a different person.

His eyes flashed with disappointment. "Mother...you weren't like this before..."

Upon hearing these words and seeing Bai Yunhan's disappointed gaze, Lady Bai felt her tone was too harsh.

"Han'er..." Lady Bai softened her voice and walked over to grasp Bai Yunhan's hand.

"You came back and immediately started questioning me. As a mother, it doesn't feel good. I didn't drive them away, they chose to leave themselves. And to show thanks, I gave them quite a bit of silver."

Bai Yunhan looked into Lady Bai's eyes, with a trace of doubt. "Really?"

Lady Bai smiled at him. "Of course it's true. Come, sit."

Lady Bai pulled him to sit down.

"These are some young ladies from prominent families that the matchmaker found for you. Take a look, see if any catch your fancy." Lady Bai had a smile on her face. "I think this Miss Chu looks outstanding and her family background is not bad either. She matches well with you."

Bai Yunhan's expression was blank. He didn't even glance at those portraits.
