The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439: Chapter 414, Passerby_1

Master Five and his party settled down in Taohua Village, taking over Daohua’s manor; they left early and returned late every day, hardly ever seen.

Life in Taohua Village went on as usual, with the villagers oblivious to their presence.

It was only at dinner time that Daohua could catch a glimpse of Master Five and his company.

“Time for dinner.” _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

Seeing Master Five and his companions arrive, Granny Gu’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal a touch of joy, while Daohua remained silent.

Now she was certain that her master, Granny Gu, and Master Five knew each other.

...

“Old friends…”

The fact that her master and Granny Gu knew people who carried out secret missions for the Emperor hinted that their past identities were far from ordinary.

Daohua was very curious about this, but no matter how she asked, her master and Granny Gu kept their lips sealed.

Although she felt some regret, she didn’t dwell on it too much; as long as these people did not threaten their safety, she didn’t care that much.

After dinner, Master Five moved into Xiao Yeyang’s room, while the others went down to the manor to rest.

Early the next morning, when Daohua woke up, these people had vanished again.

Watching them hurry back and forth, Daohua’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It seemed like Ningmen Prefecture might really have a gold mine unbeknownst to others.

Master Five and the others, including Granny Gu and Gu Jian, didn’t take seriously Daohua’s previous search for a gold mine to earn a reward; they all treated it as a young girl’s fanciful talk.

In the following days, Daohua didn’t bring up the matter again, and everyone else had pushed it to the back of their minds.

Now, seeing Master Five’s early departures and late returns, she began to ponder seriously.

Her space was fueled by the energy of grass and trees, and over the years, she had become very sensitive to this energy. She knew the aura of Jing Cao, and felt that if she really set her mind to it, she could find it.

However, she still harbored certain doubts about Master Five and his crew.

Even though they knew her master and Granny Gu, people change, and the two elders had always lived reclusively, unaware of the wickedness of the world.

Everything else would have to wait until Xiao Yeyang arrived.

“Master, are my third brother and fourth brother really alright?”

Days passed without Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao returning, and Daohua, worried, sought confirmation from her master once more.

Gu Jian assured her, “I can verify that they are not in any life-threatening danger.”

As for the rest, he couldn’t guarantee.

Clearly, whether it was Xiaowu or the four men who accompanied him, none were easy to deal with. The three kids were first tied up and then locked in a chest, giving their leader quite a hassle. It would be strange if they didn’t vent their anger.

It was only because he was protecting his little disciple that she wasn’t disciplined as well.

Daohua’s expression changed; if there was no life-threatening danger, did that mean there were other dangers?

Seeing his disciple’s concern, Gu Jian said again, “Those men are all capable; otherwise, the Emperor wouldn’t have sent them on a secret mission. Do you think their bodyguards are ordinary people?”

“Although your third brother and fourth brother have spent some time training in the army camp, it’s still far from enough. They’ve experienced too little, and some hardship will only benefit them without doing harm.”

Upon hearing this, Daohua asked no more, but thinking of Wu Jingyi’s smug and insincere smile when talking about her two brothers, she couldn’t help but worry about them.

Not dwelling on this any longer, Daohua looked down the mountain and muttered, “This Xiao Yeyang, why is he taking so long this time?”

In the past, when she arrived in the morning, that fellow was sure to hurry over by the afternoon.

This time she had released the hawk several days ago, and yet, there was no sign of him. Even if he was far away searching for someone, he should have arrived by now.

Hearing his disciple mutter, Gu Jian was silent and glanced toward the small mound near the wall of the courtyard.

Considering that Master Five and his group must not reveal their identities, he decided not to mention that the hawk had been buried.

Knowing his disciple’s personality, if she found out the hawk hadn’t delivered its message, she would surely seek other ways to communicate. To avoid any complications, it was better to wait patiently.

Over the next two days, Daohua busied herself with preserving snow pears while waiting for Xiao Yeyang.

Even after she had filled all the ceramic pots she brought, Xiao Yeyang still hadn’t arrived.
