The pursuers quickly caught up, and when they passed through the courtyard, they did not stop, continuing down the next alley.
The courtyard didn't seem to have enough room for two adults to hide, so there was really no need to stop and search.
They managed to avoid the pursuers for now.
But it wasn't time to relax yet; to avoid the pursuers running back, they had to stay quietly in the tree for a while longer.
Xie Qingci stood steadily with both hands on two branches, watching the pursuers leave, and looked up to ask if Yu Xia was afraid of climbing so high.
When he turned around, he found her already lying on the trunk, starting to count money.
"..." He stayed silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Sis, are you okay?"
Yu Xia didn't look up: "I'm fine, you keep an eye out below, I'll count the money."
He swallowed his concern, staying obediently on guard.
Yu Xia was quite excited at this moment, holding more than a hundred in cash, they were almost breaking even.
