Chapter 988: Chen Yuan’s Decision

Nan Hua knew that Yu Jin must have found out because Nan Hua wanted to hasten the process so quickly. However, she didn\'t expect Yu Jin to ask directly.         

"I see." Yu Jin looked at the city and then at the valley. "Without you, fighting against those two will be harder. But since Great General Ji is still in critical condition, I don\'t think that he can give proper order. With Great General Ji falling, Fan Yi Kingdom might be in difficult situation."     

Not necessarily.     

It was what Nan Hua wanted to say, but she chose to refrain from saying anything. Great General Ji was already advanced in age and had limited capability. And Nan Hua knew that it was almost his time to go.     

But with Great General Ji\'s losing and failure, the one who would rise was his student.     

And he was also the very person who would bring Fan Yi Kingdom up. With capabilities far more than his teacher, he will eventually become the pillar that held Fan Yi Kingdom in his palm.     

But it was not the time yet.     

That youth was still studying and wouldn\'t appear so soon.     

"I\'m borrowing the merchant\'s ship towards Han Yuan\'s City." Nan Hua then turned her body. "I\'ll be back soon."     

Han Yuan City was located not far from the border. However, it was far more to the west compared to this city. The only method for them to reach that city was through the small river because it would be too hard otherwise.     

And that city was connected to several other cities as the West of Zhang Xu Kingdom through the river route.     

The river was rather small, but they indeed connected to many cities.     

"Alright." Yu Jin shook her head and sighed. Since Nan Hua would leave, it meant that she wouldn\'t be able to see her little sister for a long time. Even though she had guessed that Nan Hua had a plan when she came to approach her back then, she still felt reluctant to part with this cute little sister.     

If the other commanders were to hear Yu Jin\'s words, they would definitely be speechless.     

How could that killing machine be called cute? They felt that Princess Jun was scarier than anything!     

…     

Nan Hua walked out of the building and looked at Fei Mao. After attracting Great General Ji\'s attention for a while, they retreated again. Most of the people who followed Fei Mao were assassins, they were not that proficient when it come to a long term battle.     

"Miss." Fei Mao knelt on the ground.     

"You did good." Nan Hua nodded. "They can retreat for now to the bases Su Bai had set up. When it\'s necessary, call them to help again."     

"Yes, Miss."     

Fei Mao bowed then disappeared once more. He took a deep breath when he could no longer see Nan Hua. No matter how many times he interacted with Nan Hua, he could always feel sense of oppression and fear from the bottom of his heart.     

It was not like he didn\'t like Nan Hua, but he feared her from the bottom of his heart. The fact that he was beaten up so badly in the past wouldn\'t change so easily.     

\'Forget it, I better finish the mission as soon as possible.\'     

Being an errand boy for such a long time, Fei Mao had long gotten used to Nan Hua\'s daily operation. In fact, she felt that it was rather usual for now.         

After Nan Hua talked with Fei Mao, she didn\'t directly return and instead walked to the small district in the city. The city was not that big, but it was separated in several types of area.     

The area where she walked to was eerily quiet.     

She stopped in front of a small teahouse and then walked inside. There was only one person who was there, sitting quietly with a long bamboo stick beside her. Her eyes were closed as she played with the cup in her hand.     

"Senior Sister Chen," Nan Hua greeted unhurriedly.     

"Junior Sister Hua." Chen Yuan put down the teacup. "For you to play such prank in front of Junior Brother Kuang, he must have been devastated."     

Nan Hua was calm. "With our relationship, I don\'t think it\'s necessary for him to know."     

Nan Hua and Kuang Shen could be said to be enemies yet not at the same time. Because of Nan Hua\'s father, Kuang Shen had lost everything dear for him when he was young. But at the same time, the two of them were senior brother and junior sister under the same master.     

They couldn\'t interact normally.     

And neither side was trying that hard in order to be recognized by the other party. Thus their relationship has always been quite awkward.     

"True." Chen Yuan opened her eyes, which seemed to be looking in Nan Hua\'s direction, yet her pupil couldn\'t focus completely. She\'s still blind and had long accepted it, but she would still open her eyes from time to time.     

"Have you decided to participate, Senior Sister Chen?"     

"Just like you have your reason, I too, have things that I don\'t want to lose." Chen Yuan was still as calm as ever. "Unfortunately, because of our background and belief, we\'ll have to stand at the opposite side."     

Nan Hua was silent.     

Neither side speak or do anything for the next minute and merely look at each other. If they wanted to fight, they could have done that from a long time ago.     

But they didn\'t.     

For Nan Hua, Chen Yuan is her senior sister and also her teacher.     

For Chen Yuan, Nan Hua is her junior sister and also her disciple.     

Could they easily point their sword to each other neck? From the very beginning when they met, they had known that the other party came from different kingdom. And the two kingdoms had hostile relationship. Despite knowing that, they still interacted with each other.     

And now, they knew that they wouldn\'t attack the other party.     

In the end, it was Chen Yuan who broke the silence. "How long have you known?"
