A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times-Chapter 88: She wants to see Gu.

"So, does that mean there are no more clues now?" Su Mo asked.

"There is a treasure map that provides a clue. It's in Miao territory. I should go to Miao territory in a few days," Wu Ying said.

"Miao territory?" Su Mo unconsciously looked at Sang Li, "Where in Miao territory?"

"The Gu clan," Wu Ying also looked towards Sang Li. "Gu Zhi should be of Miao ethnicity. Miss Sang, could you help ask him if he knows where the treasure map is?"

Sang Li hesitated for a moment. "I'd like to help you, but Gu Zhi has regained his memories and already returned to Miao territory."

"That works out perfectly. I'll go find him," Wu Ying said.

Because Wu Ying missed Su Mo so much, he returned to Lan City for a bit instead of going straight to Miao territory.

"Ah? You're leaving again?" Su Mo pouted. "You just got back!"

"I'll stay for two days before leaving," Wu Ying reassured as he stroked her head.

"Why don't I go with you?" Su Mo looked at him. She really didn't want to part from him.

"What about your few friends then?"

Su Mo hesitated. Her three friends didn't know martial arts. If she left, what would they do if someone bullied them?

Sang Li looked at the two of them. A thought suddenly came to her mind.

They could go to Miao territory together!

That night, Sang Li deliberately went to find Su Mo and the others to discuss this.

Su Mo was naturally happy. She had wanted to stay by Wu Ying's side to begin with.

Xia Miaomiao looked at Sang Li and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Li, you want to go to Miao territory just for the treasure map?"

Sang Li was silent for a moment before finally saying, "I won't hide it from you. The night Gu Zhi left, he cast a spell on me."

"What?" All three were somewhat surprised.

"Has your body felt unwell at all then?" Su Mo hurriedly asked. "Xiao Han, go check on Sister Li!"

Xiao Han helplessly said, "I can help with various injuries, illnesses, poisons, and more, but regarding spells from Miao territory, they truly exceed medical knowledge. I really can't do anything!"

Sang Li indifferently shook her head. "I'm fine. It's just...I think of him almost every moment. I don't even know if this spell will affect my body."

"Why would he cast a spell on you? Doesn't he like you?" Xiao Han couldn't help but ask.

"Because when I said I never harbored feelings for him, he cast it on me in anger. I didn't want to tell you at first, afraid you'd worry, but now that the treasure map is also in Miao territory, we have to go get it.

We have no clues on how to return home, so getting the treasure map might give us a lead. As for the spell on me, if we go to Miao territory, we can ask if there's a way to break it."

"Then that means we must go to Miao territory!" Su Mo said. "This kind of spell definitely isn't good. We have to break it!"

After discussing, they decided to go to Miao territory with Wu Ying.

Everyone returned to their own rooms. Sang Li stood by the window, looking at the crescent moon in the sky. Her mind was filled with Gu Zhi.

She said so many reasons, but there was still one she didn't admit out loud.

She wanted to see Gu Zhi. She wanted to very much.

Perhaps it was the spell affecting her, but she truly wanted to see him.

Recalling her interactions bit by bit with Gu Zhi these past days, Sang Li's eyes turned red.

Gu Zhi, I'm sorry.

Her previous contradicting feelings of wanting yet not daring to respond to him had tortured her each day.

Sometimes she would wonder if she had been too rational. Why couldn't she be more carefree like Su Mo?

She rarely showed emotion on her face. Her sisters sometimes didn't know what she was thinking.

Sang Li ah Sang Li, you've been clever your whole life yet still couldn't escape the word 'love'.

In their world, Sang Li would forever be 'someone else's daughter' in other's eyes. Relying on her own abilities, she had skipped grades and became an executive at a top listed company by twenty-five.

Naturally, she was never lacking in wealthy suitors, but she remained level-headed, only interested in making money and not men.

Yet she never imagined she would fall for a man five to six years younger than her who was a fictional character.

Sang Li gave a bitter laugh. She raised her wrist and looked at the silver bell bracelet.

"Gu Zhi, if you and I were people of the same world, I would have stood unwaveringly by your side no matter what."

...

Early next morning, Su Mo went to find Wu Ying and told him they wanted to go to Miao territory together.

Wu Ying was puzzled inwardly. "Su Mo, you all seem...quite interested in the treasure map?"

"Ah, such a mystical thing, of course we're interested! And Gu Zhi likes Sister Li. With Sister Li taking action, it'll be easy to obtain it. Then you won't have to take as big of a risk!"

Wu Ying hesitated but didn't ask further.

Two days later, they set off towards Miao territory.

Other than Yu Yifan who stayed behind to watch Four Beauties Pavilion, the four sisters went with Wu Ying.

Su Mo was very curious the whole way, taking many photos.

After jolting in the carriage for a few days, Su Mo went from initial excitement to complete exhaustion now.

"Oh..." The carriage suddenly stopped.

Su Mo hurriedly stuck her head out. "Wu Ying, are we there? If we're not, I'm going to be jolted to death!"

"Me too! Modern transportation is just too inconvenient. A plane would get us there in two hours, yet we've been traveling for days!" Xiao Han also couldn't help but complain.

"This is a village below Yu Ling Mountain. Half an hour more and we'll reach Li City of the Miao people," Wu Ying said.

"What? Half an hour more?" Su Mo lifelessly laid back down in the carriage.

Sang Li got up and asked, "Should we disguise ourselves before entering the city?"

Wu Ying looked at Sang Li and nodded. "Miss Sang is right. The Miao people don't really welcome outsiders, so we can't enter the city like this. It's getting late too. Let's find a farmstead to stay at for the night and enter the city tomorrow morning."

Sang Li was already prepared. She took out two packs from the carriage, "I brought some Miao clothing. We can disguise ourselves now to avoid strange looks."

"Wow, Sister Li. When did you prepare this? No wonder you brought so many clothes!" Su Mo said.

They changed inside the carriage. Xia Miaomiao even braided their hair. After changing, they got off the carriage, and Wu Ying went in to change too.

When Wu Ying came out, Su Mo sized him up and couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected, he looks good in anything!"
