Chapter 351 A New Breakthrough
Tang Xia looked at Ye Yifan and said, “I put you in the most important position because l trust you. You have to guard the back carefully. If anything happens to me, I trust that you will come to save me immediately, right?”

Ye Yifan listened to what Tang Xia said and had no choice. He knew that Tang Xia’s decision could not be changed, so he could only give in.

Ye Yifan said to Tang Xia solemnly, “Tang Xia, you must take good care of yourself and protect yourself. If there is something you can’t handle, you must leave immediately, understand?”

Seeing that Ye Yifan had compromised, Tang Xia heaved a heavy sigh of relief and comforted him.

“Don’t worry, l will be fine. I’m just going to take a look. If something goes wrong, I will come back immediately. Besides, Mu Chengxuan will take care of me. Don’t worry.”

Seeing that Tang Xia was rational enough, Ye Yifan glanced at Mu Chengxuan and said seriously, “No matter why we ended up working together and no matter what our relationship is, we are on the same frontline and we need to face this situation together.”

Ye Yifan paused for a while and continued. “I hope that now we can completely put aside the grudge between Cross-era and the Time-travel Bar and also our prejudice against each other. After all, in this current situation, we must unite to fight against the enemy.”

Then Ye Yifan put on a pleading expression and said sincerely, “Please take care of Tang Xia for me, please.”

Ye Yifan had no choice. He was really afraid that Mu Chengxuan would have bad intentions towards Tang Xia. If he did and Ye Yifan was not around, what could he do?

After saying this, Ye Yifan lowered his head and glanced at Mu Chengxuan seriously. Then he bowed deeply to everyone.

Tang Xia, who was standing by his side, was even more upset when she saw this.

Tang Xia knew that she was owing Ye Yifan more and more, and she had no way to compensate him.

However, Tang Xia knew that all these were inevitable. Once she had someone in her heart, no one else could squeeze into another position in her heart.

Mu Chengxuan was stunned for a while. He looked at Tang Xia, whose expression showed that she was full of guilt, and then looked at Ye Yifan, whose expression showed that he was pleading him. Mu Chengxuan said earnestly, “Don’t worry. No matter what happens, Tang Xia is a woman after all. I will take good care of her. Don’t worry, just guard the back and wait for our instructions.”

Then, they packed up the things they would need when they go out and walked out with several reliable people. Ye Yifan looked at them getting further and further away with a worried look on his face.

After walking out of the door, Mu Chengxuan did not know what to do. He looked at Tang Xia and asked, “Tang Xia, where should we go? What should we do now?”

Tang Xia looked far away and then turned back to Mu Chengxuan and said, “I want to try my luck by going to that place where l met that abnormal system-assigned man for the first time. I want to see if he only appears in that place. If he does, that would be great.”

Mu Chengxuan nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go.”

“Last time we saw that abnormal system-assigned man there, we were suddenly surrounded by other system-assigned men. This time, we should be careful. It’s important to find that abnormal system-assigned man, but we still need to protect ourselves. If we are in danger, we should retreat as soon as possible and then discuss countermeasures after we get back to the castle.” Tang Xia reminded him.

“Don’t worry, we’ll follow your arrangement. After all, you’re the only one who has met that abnormal system-assigned man.”

Mu Chengxuan and the others all agreed. While talking, they arrived at the street where they previously saw the abnormal system-assigned man.

When they walked to the corner of the street, she suddenly found that there were very few system-assigned men there. There were only a few system-assigned men wandering around the various street corners. They would also leave the place and repeat again.

For some reason, when Tang Xia saw such a scene, she was suddenly certain that the abnormal system-assigned man must be here. Her intuition was just so inexplicable.

Tang Xia said to everyone, “I think that the abnormal system-assigned man must be around here. Let’s all look for him. Everyone, we must be careful.”

“Yes, okay.” Everyone also replied in a low voice.

Just like that, the group formed into a small circle. Tang Xia led the way in the front while the others followed her behind. Mu Chengxuan would guard the back and ensure the safety of the team.

But even so, there were still dangers.

Tang Xia had carefully passed by a corner on a street and just when her teammates behind her were about to pass, she realized that several system-assigned men were charging towards her.

Obviously, Tang Xia and her team had been discovered by the system-assigned men in this area.

They had no choice. Tang Xia, Mu Chengxuan, and the rest killed a few of the system-assigned men with as minimal moves as possible.

After making sure that the surrounding area was safe, they stopped to take a good rest for their exercised bodies and ease their extreme nervousness.

Tang Xia understood that now, they could only be more careful. Fortunately, there were only a few of them this time. If they had alarmed all of the system-assigned men…

Tang Xia turned around and looked at the rest of the people. She knew that if they really encountered a large number of system-assigned men, the whole team would die here.

Hence, Tang Xia led the team more cautiously and they carefully avoided the areas that each system-assigned man was looking out for one after another. They carefully crossed the streets and Tang Xia stopped at a corner.

Mu Chengxuan did not know why the team suddenly stopped moving forward. He asked Tang Xia in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly stop? Did you find anything?”

Tang Xia made a gesture asking him to be quiet. She pointed at the dessert shop on the opposite side and said in a low voice, “I think there must be someone in this shop, but I’m not sure if it’s that abnormal system-assigned man.”

Seeing that Tang Xia was about to walk towards the dessert shop, Mu Chengxuan quickly stopped her.

“Wait a minute. Let’s have a quick break for a few minutes to restore our strength. If something really happens later, at least we will have the strength to escape.”

Tang Xia realized that she was too rash. Looking at the ‘comrades’ around her who seemed to be very tired, she had to agree with Mu Chengxuan’s suggestion. After all, she could not allow her negligence to bring loss to others.

Hence, Tang Xia, Mu Chengxuan, and the rest looked around their surroundings. After making sure that they were safe, they rested where they were. Everyone drank some water and restored their physical strength. After all, they might have to escape at any time.

After resting for a while, Tang Xia noticed that everyone was well-rested, so she whispered to them, “I’ll go and have a look. You guys keep a lookout for me. Look at my gestures.”

After saying that, Tang Xia looked towards the dessert shop. As expected, Tang Xia found a figure in the shop through the reflection of the glass panel.

Hence, Tang Xia made a gesture for everyone to keep quiet and walked carefully towards the dessert shop on her own.

Tang Xia knew that the road ahead was dangerous, but no matter what happens, she could not retreat at this point in time. Her discovery this time around would determine everyone’s fate.

Hence, no matter how frightened Tang Xia was, she had to muster up the courage and walk towards the dessert shop one step after another.

Halfway through, a system-assigned man passed by her. Tang Xia was so scared that she quickly hid behind a building. After waiting for a while and making sure that there were no other movements, she set off again.

Then, Tang Xia made a gesture for them to follow her. Mu Chengxuan led the rest to quickly catch up to her. He was very careful of fear that many system-assigned men might suddenly appear out of nowhere.

This was not a joke. Facing so many system-assigned men would really make one’s hair stand on end.

After reuniting with Tang Xia, Tang Xia asked everyone to wait there and went into the shop alone.

Mu Chengxuan realized that Tang Xia wanted to enter the shop alone and wanted to stop her. However, when he thought about how he was so close to the dessert shop, he could only pull her arm and shake his head, indicating that he also wanted to accompany her as he would be worried.

Tang Xia understood Mu Chengxuan’s intention. She smiled and patted his hand, indicating that he could be rest assured she would be fine on her own.

Looking into Tang Xia’s determined gaze, Mu Chengxuan understood that she insisted. Eventually, he could only let go.

Mu Chengxuan thought that if something happens, he must be the first to rush in and get Tang Xia out. Otherwise, he would be too ashamed to face Ye Yifan if something really happens to Tang Xia.

Mu Chengxuan watched Tang Xia walk away. As he watched her approaching the dessert shop one step after another, his heart beat faster and faster. He was afraid that something would happen.

Tang Xia was walking forward nervously and carefully. The closer she was to the dessert shop, the faster her heartbeat was. Tang Xia quickly calmed herself down.

Just like that, she walked into the dessert shop while comforting herself.

Just when Tang Xia stepped into the door of the dessert shop, she smiled. Wasn’t the one in front of her the abnormal system-assigned man whom she had been searching high and low for so long?

However, Tang Xia still did not dare to be careless. After all, she did not know the specific situation of this system-assigned man. If he suddenly went crazy and attacked her, it was still fine. However, if he gathered other system-assigned men just like the last time, they would have no way out.

Tang Xia observed this system-assigned man carefully and dared not to be careless at all.

Tang Xia felt that his behavior was very strange. He was just standing in front of the dessert cabinet looking at the dessert. He just watched quietly and did nothing.

Tang Xia did not understand why. So, she continued to observe as she wanted to know more.

After all, the more she knew, the more help they could get to leave this situation.

Tang Xia approached him carefully one step after another. She studied him carefully and observed each and every single detail.

Hard work always pays off. Just when Tang Xia’s eyes were extremely sore, she suddenly discovered that this abnormal system-assigned man had some business cards in the pocket of his coat. The corner that was protruding out of his pocket showed the name and it said ‘Gu Ze’.

Tang Xia inferred that those business cards probably belonged to this abnormal system-assigned man. Hence, she stepped forward boldly, hoping to talk to him and see if she could successfully communicate with him.

Tang Xia asked cautiously, “May I ask if your name is Gu Ze?”
