Chapter 450: Chapter 422, Yan Ying_1
Daohua arrived at Taohua Temple the second day, and Xiao Yeyang ca.
“Are you alright?”
Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua in front of him and gave her a once-over, making sure she wasn’t hurt before he allowed himself to relax. Then he couldn’t help but scold her, “What were you thinking? Facing an assassination, instead of running away you rushed in. What if sothing had happened to you?”
With dark circles under her eyes and a sowhat languid expression, Daohua replied, “Do you think I wanted that? It’s just my bad luck to encounter it. If I hadn’t dealt with those n in black, what if they decided to kill the witnesses afterward?”
Seeing that Daohua was lacking in spirit, Xiao Yeyang knew she must have been frightened by yesterday’s events. He took her hand and soothed her, “It’s alright now. I’ve sent soone to the scene. I guarantee there won’t be any traces left for soone to find.”
Daohua hastily asked, “Are you sure no one behind those n in black will find their way to Taohua Village? And they won’t discover that I was involved? In those stories, assassins like the n in black are supposed to be omnipotent.”
...
Last night, the mont she hit the bed, her mind was either filled with images of the n in black chasing down Taohua Village and annihilating it, or finding the Yan Family and wiping them out completely. She was so scared that she dared not sleep all night.
Xiao Yeyang let out a bit of a laugh, “You just said it, those are just stories. If assassins really were omnipotent, then the world would be in chaos. Alright, it’s over now, stop thinking nonsense.”
As he spoke, he paused for a mont and looked at Daohua sowhat helplessly.
“Yesterday’s events did serve as a warning to . Your luck, I don’t know if it’s good or bad. Last ti, it was kidnapping the princes… and this ti, you encountered an assassin. The frequency of such incidents is far too high. In that case, I’ll assign soone to stay by your side.”
Daohua was not very focused and didn’t catch what Xiao Yeyang said clearly, nodding her head carelessly. After she had nodded, she ca to her senses and asked, “Who do you want to place by my side?”
Xiao Yeyang: “Of course, soone who can protect you.”
Daohua’s eyes brightened, and she nodded repeatedly. Before, she would certainly have refused, but after yesterday’s events, she realized that when trouble ca, she didn’t have a single capable person at her disposal.
Qin Xiaoliu and Wang Manman were only good for everyday affairs. During an ergency like yesterday, the fact that they didn’t panic was already a great help to her.
It wasn’t long before the Hidden Guard Xiao Yeyang had sent to erase the traces ca back.
To completely ease Daohua’s mind, Xiao Yeyang took her to et the Hidden Guard.
The Hidden Guard repeatedly assured that all traces of yesterday’s fight had been erased and that no one would trace it back to them. Only then did Daohua’s tense emotions begin to relax.
Even though her master had done so cleaning yesterday, he wasn’t a professional, and so worries still lingered at the bottom of her heart.
“What do you think of the Hidden Guard that just went down?” After the Hidden Guard had left, Xiao Yeyang asked Daohua.
Daohua hesitated for a mont before responding, “Pretty good, but you’re used to him. If you give him to , won’t you be short of people?”
Xiao Yeyang smiled lightly, “As long as you think he is fine, that’s enough. I have more than one Hidden Guard.”
Not being dismissive, Daohua pondered for a mont and said, “I made up so dicinal pills when I had so free ti a few days ago. Let give you so.”
Xiao Yeyang was used to Daohua’s habit of returning the favor whenever she received sothing, and he nodded with a smile, “Sure, that would be great. I’ve had a lot to deal with lately and could use them.”
Daohua went back to her room and brought out several bottles and jars, placing them in a cloth bag and handing it directly to Xiao Yeyang, “The instructions and effects are written on the bottles.”
Xiao Yeyang took the cloth bag, glanced at it, and then gave it to De Fu, who was behind him, to hold.
Daohua sat down again and asked, “How’s the search for the gold mine going?”
At the ntion of the gold mine, Xiao Yeyang’s smile gradually faded, “We have almost searched through the three provinces and eighteen counties under the jurisdiction of Ningn Prefecture, yet there’s still no news.”
Daohua continued, “A few days ago, my father asked if you, my third brother, and fourth brother were looking for sothing. I told him about the gold mine.”
At this, Xiao Yeyang showed no sign of surprise, “Uncle Yan is the Magistrate of Ningn Prefecture; it was only a matter of ti before he found out.”
Daohua: “My father said the Jiang Family has also found sothing, and even Prince Duan’s people have been spotted within Ningn Prefecture.”
Xiao Yeyang was montarily taken aback before he chuckled, “Uncle Yan is indeed well-inford. Prince Duan’s people coming to Ningn Prefecture is sothing I only learned a couple of days ago.”
