After the roasted fish meal, Daohua and her companions returned to Ningmen Pass.
On the way, Daohua asked Xiao Yeyang, "What did Lord Wu want with you?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and pondered for a moment, "I'll tell you about it later." No one could dispute His Majesty's uncle's decision, but after reporting the newly found gold mine, His Majesty's uncle might have additional rewards for him.
Seeing he wouldn't say, Daohua didn't press further, only saying, "The gold mine has been found, and your injuries have almost healed. I will leave tomorrow."
Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a moment and then nodded, "Alright."
There was no attempt to make her stay; the conditions at Ningmen Pass were somewhat lacking, and nothing was convenient. It was almost November, when the temperature would drop even lower, so it wouldn't do for Daohua to stay and catch a cold.
