A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times

"Wu Ying, you and Su Mo wait for me outside. I'm going to check the woodshed in their backyard," Wu Ying said.

Su Mo thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Su Mo and Sang Li went out of Fu Hua Building first and waited outside for a while before Wu Ying came out.

"How is it? Is Gu Zhi there?" Sang Li immediately asked as she walked up to them.

Wu Ying shook his head, "He should have been rescued by someone. I saw people from Fu Hua Building also looking for him in the backyard."

Sang Li lowered her head a little, her tone tinged with a hint of worry, "Was he saved by his family?"

"Probably. Gu Zhi is likely from the Miao Territory and holds an important position there. Zhu Mu, including those two people from Fu Hua Building, were most likely killed by them," said Wu Ying.

Sang Li didn't say anything. Su Mo walked up and pulled her arm, "Sister Li, don't worry. Since his family came to rescue him, it means he will be alright."

"I know. Let's go back first," Sang Li said lightly.

Sang Li was not feeling well. Shouldn't she be very happy that Gu Zhi's family found him? But she didn't know why, she couldn't feel happy at all now.

Their fate ends here. She only hoped now that he would be safe and sound.

On the way back to Four Beauties Pavilion, Sang Li had been absent-minded. Unexpectedly, in front of a medicine shop, she bumped into a lady in pink.

That lady in pink was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to Sang Li either. When they collided, Sang Li staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground. Luckily, Su Mo reacted quickly and caught her.

However, that lady in pink fell straight to the ground, scattering the medicine bundle she was carrying everywhere.

"What are you doing? Can't you watch where you're going when walking?" the lady in pink wailed a little angrily.

"I'm so sorry..." Sang Li immediately walked over to help her pick up the medicine bundle from the ground and helped her up, handing over the medicine bundle she collected.

Seeing Sang Li's decent attitude, the lady in pink just glared at her and reached to take the medicine bundle from her hand.

But when she was taking over the bundle, her eyes suddenly caught sight of the bell bracelet on Sang Li's wrist.

Her expression changed abruptly.

"Sorry about just now, miss," Sang Li handed over the bundle and then turned to leave.

Only after Sang Li left did the lady in pink react. She immediately touched her waist.

"When did it disappear? How could the little tribal leader's bell be in her hand?"

The lady cast a look in Sang Li's direction and saw the three of them entering Four Beauties Pavilion.

She looked up at the signboard of Four Beauties Pavilion, frowned, and immediately left with the medicine.

...

The lady walked for quite a while, entered a relatively secluded inn, and went straight up to the second floor to push open the door into a private room.

Inside, a man in gray was sitting on the edge of the bed, with some horrifying bugs crawling on his fingers.

And lying on the bed was none other than Gu Zhi. His complexion looked unwell, seemingly in poor condition.

The man brought his hand close to Gu Zhi's protruding wrist vein and pricked it with a needle. Blood oozed out. Sensing the smell of blood, the bugs followed the blood and crawled into Gu Zhi’s body.

"Ku Li, how is our young tribal leader doing?" The lady put down the medicine bundle and walked to the bedside.

"The young tribal leader seems to have gone berserk from cultivation. The mother Gu worm in his body is almost dormant. My Gu worms also failed to wake it up," said Ku Li as he withdrew his hand.

At this moment, Gu Zhi lying on the bed frowned, seemingly in anguish, as if tormented by nightmares. His forehead was beaded with fine sweat.

"Sis...Sis...Sis..." Gu Zhi's faint voice came.

"What is he saying?" The lady leaned over to listen more clearly.

"Sis, don't drive me away..."

"Sis, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill him..."

"Looks like he's calling for his sister," said Ku Li.

"Sister? But the young tribal leader doesn't have a sister! The tribal leader only has him as a son!"

"Sis!" Gu Zhi was suddenly startled awake from the nightmare. He sat straight up from the bed, panting, still not fully recovered from the nightmare.

Seeing him awake, the lady happily walked over, "Gu Zhi, you're awake? How are you feeling? Do you remember anything?"

Gu Zhi looked up at the two of them and immediately shrank back into the bed, looking very frightened, "Stay away from me!"

He personally witnessed these two giving Gu worms to someone. Too horrifying!

The lady frowned and glanced at Ku Li next to her, "Still no memory?"

Ku Li sighed, "Cai Na, why don't we just take our young tribal leader back directly? I think the tribal leader would have a way to restore his memories."

"Looks like that's all we can do now..."

"I'm not the young tribal leader you're looking for. You got the wrong person. I'm not him!" Gu Zhi hastened to say.

If he really was from the Miao Territory, then Zhu Mu's death would be related to him. His sis would surely detest him then!

"You are Gu Zhi, the young tribal leader of the Miao ethnicity, and my, Cai Na's, future husband. You will remember sooner or later!"

Cai Na glanced at him. The difference between him before and after losing his memory was like two different people.

Hearing the words "future husband", Gu Zhi wrinkled his brows and said solemnly, "Don't spout nonsense!"

"Whether I'm spouting nonsense or not, you'll know once your memory comes back!"

Gu Zhi immediately got out of bed, intending to leave this place.

But Cai Na grabbed him by the arm, "Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm not the young tribal leader you're looking for. Let go of me!" Gu Zhi shook off her hand angrily.

"Young tribal leader, you can't leave!" Ku Li immediately blocked the door. "Without your memories and martial arts now, it's dangerous for you anytime."

"It's none of your business to interfere with me. Let me out!"

But Ku Li didn't budge. Cai Na walked over with a smile, "Young tribal leader, you can't get away. Be obedient and come back to the Miao Territory with us tomorrow!"

Gu Zhi paused, knowing he couldn't get away now.

He sat back down on the bed, putting on a cold face, and said coldly, "Since I'm the young tribal leader, shouldn't you be listening to me?"

"As long as you come back to the Miao Territory with us, we will certainly listen to you."

"Fine, I'll go back with you," Gu Zhi said.

Cai Na smiled at him, "That's more like it. How could you, the Miao ethnicity's young tribal leader, suffer hardships here?"

Gu Zhi paused and looked at them. "Did you kill Zhu Mu?"

Cai Na said nonchalantly, "Yes! How dare he sell you, the Miao young tribal leader, to Fu Hua Building? Doesn't he deserve death?"

Cai Na suddenly recalled something and exclaimed in realization, "It seems your bell must have accidentally dropped into Zhu Mu's place."

"Bell?" Gu Zhi suddenly remembered that the silver bell bracelet was still with Sang Li.

"That's right. Today I saw your bell worn on the wrist of a girl. I have to retrieve it!" Cai Na suddenly said.

Gu Zhi was taken aback. He didn't expect Cai Na to have met Sang Li. He deliberately said, "It's just a bell, unimportant."

"That won't do! That's no ordinary bell. It's the symbol of your identity and it can control Gu worms too. If not for us finding that bell by chance at the pawn shop, we couldn't have found you."
