The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Chapter 466, I Thought You Were Going to Kill Me!_1

By the time Yongwang brought Daohua up to East Mountain, it was already late afternoon. After all the turmoil, dusk was falling.

After laying Fan Lao down, Daohua ran towards the densely vegetated area. Using the cover of night and the foliage, she didn’t immediately vanish into her space this time but chose a large tree to climb.

Daohua stayed motionless, hidden in the nook where branches crossed. Her position was at least ten meters off the ground, making her hard to spot unless one looked up into the tree.

The people searching below had passed by in several waves. Even though no sound could be heard anymore, Daohua didn’t move, waiting until it was completely dark before slowly peeking her head out to look down.

East Mountain had returned to complete silence. She wasn’t sure if those searching for her had retreated or were lying in wait for her to fall into their trap.

Daohua patiently waited another hour, having some fruit from her space, before she climbed down from the tree and cautiously made her way back.

...

The journey was smooth, but upon reaching the area where she had encountered Fan Lao, she saw torches moving in her direction.

Daohua’s heart tightened. She scanned her surroundings, then started climbing a tree again. By the time she had concealed herself amidst the branches, the group of people was nearly upon her.

“Leader, who are those people really, and how did they find their way to Sishan Village?”

“It’s probably related to the girl brought back by One-eye earlier.”

“Damn it, One-eye has doomed us. Considering their skills and equipment, those people look like Royal Dark Guards. Our place can’t withstand scrutiny; exposure could mean our master’s death.”

“What do we do then? The newcomers are too skillful, and there are too many to kill.”

Daohua, listening from the tree, suddenly lit up at their words.

It must be Xiao Yeyang coming to rescue her!

Then she heard more.

“We can’t worry about that now. Let’s just hope One-eye’s group can delay them enough for us to transport the forged weapons out. Luckily, Fan Lao had a contingency plan and carved a route from the iron mine to the outside.”

“By the way, leader, after receiving the signal from Fan Lao this afternoon, we haven’t seen him since. Could it be that he…”

“Shut your mouth! Stop talking nonsense. Fan Lao is always wise and resourceful; nothing will have befallen him.”
