Returning to the Roaring Dragon Valley

Thud!

Dan Chen raised his hand, pushed aside the wooden plank covering his hiding place, and set it aside. He turned to look at the young girl by his side.

"How are you holding up?"

"I'm fine," the young girl with the Ruan surname smiled shyly. She climbed out of the underground hiding spot together with Dan Chen. She looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and fell silent for a moment before asking, "Dan Chen, where do we go now?"

"We can't go to the west gate of Tianyun City; there are probably still many people waiting for us there," Dan Chen said, bending down to pick up the wooden plank from the ground. He placed it back over the hole they had hidden in earlier and covered it with dirt. "We dug this pit during the brief time the caravan was stopped by the black-clothed assassins, and then Li Zi'an covered it up. We managed to evade the assassins' detection."

"But why are you covering it now?" The young girl with the Ruan surname asked, puzzled.
