Sun Xiaoyuan, hiding inside, felt her heart about to leap out of her chest as she prayed inwardly, desperately hoping they wouldn't be discovered, but it seemed her prayers were ineffective.
"Captain, there's another hatch here."
Sounds of moving sacks came from outside, and after a while, Ye Wudao and Sun Xiaoyuan, hiding inside, heard a man's voice.
"What's this?"
The captain sneered at the corner of his mouth and tapped the hatch with his hand, finding it hollow inside; he then abruptly questioned the Water Hydra.
The Water Hydra thought he was blind, did he? If it had been any other time, he might have turned a blind eye, but now he had strict orders from above to search for a man and a woman from Hua Country suspected of smuggling themselves out via water routes. The appearance of these smuggling ships wasn't a coincidence; they were waiting here on purpose. Every passing vessel had to be inspected without exception.
