Chapter 499: Chapter 467, Jinling Guard_1
Hearing Daohua’s words, Xiao Yeyang was somewhat helpless and amused. Just when he was about to say something, he realized that his hand, which was supporting Daohua, felt somewhat moist. Looking down, he discovered that his hand was covered in blood and instantly asked anxiously, “Are you injured?”
Daohua was still a bit out of it. Her nerves had been on edge these past few days. Because of her space, she wasn’t too afraid of the men in black, but she was just scared by Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang carefully helped Daohua sit down, then quickly took out a handkerchief to bandage her, asking while wrapping, “Besides the arm, have you been injured anywhere else?”
Seeing that Daohua was dazed and silent, Xiao Yeyang got frantic, touched her hands and felt that they were chillingly cold. He quickly took off his overcoat and draped it over her. After saying a word to the Hidden Guard, he scooped her up and briskly walked out of the stone cave.
The whole way, Daohua was eerily quiet. When they passed the caves where the villagers were fighting with the men in black, and upon seeing Yongwang crouching at the entrance of the cave, she finally came back to her senses.
Xiao Yeyang felt the front of his jacket tighten. Looking down, he saw Daohua looking at him with a bit of urgency in her eyes, which were still filled with fear. His heart instantly softened and he gently said, “What’s wrong?”
Daohua looked at the villagers inside the stone cave, “Xiao Yeyang, many of these villagers were captured. Don’t be hard on them.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded, “As long as they don’t make trouble, my men will not harm them.”
Daohua breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately thought of something else, hurriedly saying, “Xiao Yeyang, quickly send someone to look for another passageway leading to the outside, those men in black are trying to transport weapons out of here, don’t let them escape.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s expression immediately turned serious. He glanced at Defu who was following closely behind and said, “Tell Ang Yi to personally take people to search.”
Defu nodded his head and swiftly turned to leave.
Once the man had gone, Daohua spoke again, “Xiao Yeyang, I’m fine now. Put me down so you can attend to your affairs.”
Xiao Yeyang looked at the person in his arms. Her pale little face no longer had the lively brightness it once did, replaced by fatigue and the remnants of fear. He frowned and said, “Stubborn to the end, if I put you down now, can you even stand on your own?”

Daohua was silent. At this moment, her hands were weak, her feet were weak, and she had nearly used up all her strength during the confrontation with the man in black, Zhou Xuan. Afterward, she was also frightened by Xiao Yeyang, which left her completely depleted.
Seeing her listlessness, Xiao Yeyang softened his voice, “Don’t worry, you’ve already taken down most of them. The rest of the matters don’t need my personal attention.”
Hearing him say this, Daohua didn’t say more and let him carry her out of the Stone Tomb.
Upon leaving the Stone Tomb, he then adjusted to carry her on his back.
After that, with the Hidden Guard leading with a torch, Xiao Yeyang carefully followed, carrying Daohua on his back.
The mountain path was difficult to navigate, and it was night. Xiao Yeyang was highly focused, fearful of tripping and falling with the person on his back. Before long, a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead.
Daohua saw this and wiped off his sweat with her sleeve, then couldn’t help asking, “Am I very heavy?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s expression relaxed, talking about such matters meant she must have come out of her shock, he smiled and asked, “What do you think?”
Daohua pouted, “I am asking you.”
Xiao Yeyang smiled and gently jostled Daohua, “I think it’s manageable!”
“Manageable means what? Heavy?”
“Decide for yourself!”
“I definitely think I’m not heavy.”
“Then you’re not heavy.”
“Humph, you’re so indecisive.”
“So, what if… you are heavy?”
“I can’t be bothered with you.”
“Just relax and lie there, I could carry two more of you.”
By the time Xiao Yeyang got Daohua down the mountain, she was already drowsy and sleepy.
At this time, Yan Wentao had already taken control of the village with his men; the men in black were either dead or captured. Seeing Daohua on Xiao Yeyang’s back, he hurried over.
“What happened to Daohua?”
Xiao Yeyang made a silencing gesture, then spoke quietly, “She got a bit injured. Quickly find a clean room to treat her.”
Yan Wentao immediately said, “Knowing we might not leave tonight, Dexi has already set up a room for you. Let’s go there!”
Xiao Yeyang nodded, then followed Yan Wentao to the room.
“Be careful!”
As soon as Xiao Yeyang placed Daohua on the bed, she woke up startled and upon seeing Yan Wentao, a smile appeared on her face, “Third brother, you’re here too!”
