1054 The Worth

Lin Yuan put down his thoughts and looked at Long Qian Xing. "Say, with your status, you can actually find other more beautiful and capable women. Why are you so hung up on one person? You haven't even seen her that many times."

Long Qian Xing passed a glance at Lin Yuan and snorted. "I'm not a playboy like you."

"...When did I become a playboy?"

"Most of your customers are women."

"That's because my goods are more suitable for them!"

Long Qian Xing ignored the fuming Lin Yuan and walked to his temporary desk. There were various skin maps that he had drawn during his time here. After all, they were in a war and knowledge of the terrain was extremely important.

He drew a small circle around the area where the temple was located.

'How did she reach there?'

It was another question that Long Qian Xing couldn't understand. Yi Shui Temple was surrounded by countless battles between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom. In other words, it was the frontline.

Ordinary people would never be at the frontline.

They would be evacuated first from the area or moved to a much saver location to ensure that they wouldn't be involved in the battle. Of course, it would be a different case when they were fighting to conquer a city.

The citizen wouldn't have time to move out.

'Did Nan Luo bring Hua'er with him?'

That was a possibility. Even though Long Qian Xing didn't know Nan Hua's martial arts or anything like that, he knew that she's a good doctor. Compared to ordinary doctor, she was far better.

If Nan Luo really needed a doctor, it wouldn't be that strange for her to follow him around.

But that still didn't answer most of his questions.

"Hey, are you going to keep ignoring me?" Lin Yuan asked, a bit vexed.

"Aren't you busy?" Long Qian Xing asked back. "You said that you're only going to stay for half a day before going again."

Lin Yuan choked.

He felt that he had indeed dug a grave for himself. When he came here, he did say that to Long Qian Xing because his plan was only to pay a short visit to his old friend before going again for his business.

But he felt like Long Qian Xing was the one who couldn't wait to kick him out.

Damn it!

"Fine, if you don't want to answer." Lin Yuan huffed and walked out. "But I'm staying here for the night! It's already late."

Long Qian Xing looked outside and saw that it was still evening. He shook his head and focused on the map in front of him again.

It was not like he didn't want to answer Lin Yuan.

It was because he himself was not entirely sure the reason as to why he just wanted one person.

But when he thought of being with anyone else but Hua'er, Long Qian Xing couldn't imagine it. He didn't want to either. Her worth couldn't be measured with money at all. No matter how much Lin Yuan was willing to pay, Long Qian Xing knew very well that he wouldn't trade it with her.

He sighed deeply.

When did he fall so hard like this, even he didn't know.

But he felt relieved for finding Nan Hua. At the very least, he had the confirmation that she is still alive. Before this, even he wondered whether she was still alive.

Even when all the analysis showed that she was still alive, Long Qian Xing still felt a bit uneasy.

This time, he will never let her go.

...

Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were both speechless when they heard that Nan Hua was fetching his niece. They even wondered who among them could possibly have children...

Aside from Feng Ao Si who turned 20, the two of them were both still too young.

It was then they realized that the niece she talked about was the child of her senior sister's brother.

They felt relieved.

If it was one of them, they were planning on going straight to Old Master Nan and gave this shocking report. They were sure that the person in question would be whipped until he was unrecognizable by Old Master Nan.

A pity.

It was neither one of them.

Only the Heaven knew how much they actually wanted to see each other getting beaten up so badly.

They also wanted to see Nan Hua's niece, but they had to return to their army. They promised that they would find some time in the future to gather again, but for the time being, they had to go back.

Nan Hua departed on her own.

One of the letters that Chen Yuan gave to her was actually a request.

A request for her to take care of Chen Yuan's niece.

After leaving Chen Family, Chen Ye got married to a young woman in a small city. She latched onto him because of his future prospect while he liked her because of her beauty. At the very least, that was what Chen Yuan thought of them because she didn't think that the two of them actually loved each other.

In any case, after receiving the news that Chen Ye was dead, the woman abandoned their two years old daughter and returned to her family. If not for Chen Yuan finding about the young girl, she would have died because of hunger.

In the letter, she asked for Nan Hua to take care of her.

It was because Chen Yuan knew very well that she wouldn't be able to do that.

And it was also the last request Chen Yuan asked from Nan Hua as her senior sister and also her teacher.

Tep.

Nan Hua stopped in front of a small cottage in the middle of nowhere. She looked through the window and saw a little girl barely three years old was playing with some toys in her hand.

The little girl was alone.

Nan Hua suddenly stepped back.

Swish!
