A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times

The man in black pulled out his sword and was about to stab down again when a handful of white powder suddenly spilled in front of him. The man in black immediately raised his arm to shield his eyes and retreated several steps.

Sang Li's eyes condensed as she immediately took out her crossbow and aimed at the center of the man in black's forehead.

"Ah!" The man in black let out a miserable shriek and fell to the ground.

The other two men in black looked at each other upon seeing this and charged at them again.

Gu Zhi looked up, his expression gloomy as his right pupil instantly turned crimson at this moment.

He suddenly flipped up and kicked the sword out of the man in black's hand. His body flashed as he slapped the man in black on the shoulder.

It was as if something surged out from his hand. The veins on the man in black's neck pulsated violently.

"Ah..." The man in black immediately grabbed his neck in pain and rolled on the ground.

The other man in black looked at the one rolling in pain on the ground, then looked at Gu Zhi.

Blood stained his lips as his eyes were sinister. The night breeze blew away the bangs covering his right eye, and that red eye looked strangely creepy.

His face was like an evil spirit from hell. The protruding veins on the back of his pale hand had all turned purple-red.

The man in black was so frightened that he retreated a step, not daring to move forward, and immediately fled!

At this time, Gu Zhi had his back facing Sang Li and the others, so Sang Li did not see his appearance. She only saw him slap that man in black.

Sang Li and Xiao Han immediately climbed up and ran over.

"Gu Zhi!"

When Sang Li ran up behind him, Gu Zhi's eyes had already returned to normal. His body went limp as he collapsed onto the grass.

Sang Li immediately supported Gu Zhi and saw the large amount of fresh blood on his chest, feeling extremely panicked inwardly.

"Xiao Han, come take a look at him quickly!" There was a sob in Sang Li's voice.

Xiao Han ran over and immediately took out hemostatic powder to sprinkle on Gu Zhi's wounds.

"Sister Li, don't worry. His wound is on the shoulder, he won't die."

"Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao, please save my mother!" Bai Yunhan said weakly to them from where he lay on the other side.

The two looked over. "Xiao Han, go take a look at them."

"Alright." Xiao Han immediately ran over.

Lady Bai was lying on the ground, having lost a lot of blood. She seemed to be on her last breath.

Xiao Han immediately went to check her wounds and found that she appeared to have been stabbed in the liver. The excessive blood loss meant she needed an immediate blood transfusion, as well as emergency surgery, or it would be very difficult to save her.

But now they didn't have the means for a transfusion or surgery here.

"Young Master Bai...your mother, she..." Xiao Han hesitated.

"Don't waste your efforts..." Lady Bai raised her hand, trying to touch Bai Yunhan's face.

"Mother..." Bai Yunhan grabbed Lady Bai's hand and pressed it against his own face.

Tears rolled down his pale face, looking especially mournful.

"Why? Why did it become like this?"

"I calculated everything...yet never expected that a legendary treasure map would attract these Jianghu people to target the Bai family..."

"Mother, I'll be joining you soon. Our whole family can be reunited now." Bai Yunhan choked back a sob.

Lady Bai looked at Xiao Han beside her. "Miss Xiao, please save Yunhan...He is a kind soul all his life, his fate should not end like this..."

Xiao Han's eyes also reddened. "I...we'll try our best!"

Lady Bai's hand went limp.

Afu, I still owe you. We'll settle it in our next life.

Perhaps no one knew to this day that Wang Fu harbored feelings for Lady Bai.

When Lady Bai was still a young miss, Wang Fu was already her bodyguard. She learned martial arts largely due to Wang Fu's influence.

Wang Fu had always kept his feelings well-hidden. He observed propriety and never showed any improper behavior.

He married and had children normally, so as not to cause Lady Bai any trouble. Thus Master Bai never doubted him.

Wang Fu's wife passed away early from illness. He never remarried either, having brought up Yi from young to be loyal to Bai Yunhan.

He protected Lady Bai all his life, and finally lost his life for her sake as well.

"Mother..." Bai Yunhan held Lady Bai's corpse and broke down crying.

He could not understand why a good family would become like this.

Why couldn't his father wholeheartedly love his mother?

Why must they scheme and kill each other when they were one family?

Why did his father have to hide the treasure map, harming all in the Bai family?

When Sang Li and Xiao Han brought Gu Zhi and Bai Yunhan back to Qinglin Courtyard, the sky was almost bright.

Xia Miaomiao and Yu Yifan heard the sounds and immediately ran out.

Seeing Sang Li and Xiao Han helping Gu Zhi and Bai Yunhan down from the horses, with Gu Zhi still unconscious and Bai Yunhan in poor condition as well, Xia Miaomiao's eyes reddened.

"Sister Li, Xiao Han, what happened?"

"Miaomiao, has Ying returned?" Sang Li immediately asked.

Yu Yifan quickly said, "Master and Martial Uncle have returned, though both are injured. The doctor is treating them!"

"That's good..." Sang Li breathed a sigh of relief. "Quickly bring Gu Zhi and Young Master Bai in!"

"Miaomiao, help bring my surgical tools over." Xiao Han immediately said.

"Alright!" Xia Miaomiao immediately ran inside.

Everyone became busy again, especially Xiao Han, treating several patients alone.

It was not until morning that they finally settled everyone.

"Xiao Han, how are Ying's injuries?" Xia Miaomiao asked worriedly, "Why isn't she awake yet?"

"Her injuries aren't serious. Just a gash on her waist that I bandaged up after stopping the bleeding. It's nothing major, but she didn't stop the bleeding promptly and exerted herself, causing blood loss and fainting."

Xiao Han paused, "However, Wu Ying's injuries are a bit severe. I saw many wounds on his face and body, seeming like he was tortured. There is some damage to his internal organs, but fortunately non-fatal."

"As for Gu Zhi..." Xiao Han looked at the dazed Sang Li. "I've stitched up his wounds already, nothing too serious now. As for why he's unconscious, it doesn't seem related to his injuries..."

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Sang Li looked up at her. "What are you trying to say?"

Xiao Han sat down beside her. "Sister Li, you saw it too last night. Gu Zhi knows martial arts. If not for him, we would have died last night!"

"What? Gu Zhi knows martial arts?" Xia Miaomiao was also surprised. "He looks so...frail..."

Sang Li paused before speaking. "I didn't expect he knew martial arts either. Let's ask him after he wakes up."

Last night, Gu Zhi protected them at the risk of his own life, nearly dying at the hands of the men in black.

She was not heartless. Even if Gu Zhi was hiding something from them, he did save them after all.
