1295 Under the Night Sky (2)



Nan Hua's eyes flickered. "What makes you think I would want that?"

"I don't know." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and felt a sense of distance from the world from Nan Hua. It was as if she didn't truly belong to this world and would not care about what had happened here.

When he first came here, he honestly didn't care about anything. He only tried his best to gain power because that was the only thing he knew to do. Being careful and slowly climbed his way up was something that had been engraved into his bones because of his upbringing.

But things slowly changed.

He had been here for 10 years and in the past decade, there were many things that had happened and pulled him to be part of this world.

He was not just a passerby who landed onto this world unknowingly.

He had become part of this world.

"I can't do that," Nan Hua said after a while. Looking at Long Qian Xing's eyes, she could guess what he was thinking.

The two of them transmigrated here, so she could more or less guessed what he thought.

When she first came here, she also felt at loss and somewhat uncertain about what she had to do. But after a while, she simply adapted to this world.

She never wanted to go back.

In her previous world, she might be at the top as an assassin, but she had nothing that she treasured. Even her own life was something that could be treated lightly and being used as bet from time to time when she was doing her missions.

She never truly treasured anything.

She couldn't get away from that organization.

For her entire life, she was nothing more than a tool that could be used at will by those people to do the dirty work they didn't want to do.

Should what she had done come to light, she would be condemned by the entire world.

But she didn't care.

She had no families, no friends, no sense of belonging at all.

It was only after she came to this world that she found the sense of belonging that made her feel that she's wanted. That there were others who were willing to care for her without asking for anything.

All they wanted was for her to be happy.

But she herself didn't know what could actually make her happy. That emotion has long been abandoned by her and only slowly being regained bit by bit with her interaction in this world.

"That's good." Long Qian Xing chuckled.

Nan Hua watched Long Qian Xing's expression and knew that he never meant to truly destroy the world. They have something they cared for after coming to this world.

This world had become part of their lives.

The reason he asked that question might be because he just wanted to know her better. After all, there were things that they never actually talked about.

"Will you tell me more about your experience, General Xing?" Nan Hua asked slowly.

With her already changing so many things, Nan Hua knew that the path Long Qian Xing followed was no longer the same as what she had read before. There will be many differences in his choices and actions.

Perhaps, it was also what caused things to be different in this world.

Because the butterfly effect she had brought caused the differences in small things and eventually become bigger and bigger.

It was inevitable.

"If you want to know, you can ask me anything, Hua'er." Long Qian Xing lowered his eyes, looking at the young woman beside him.

She looked enchanting and beautiful.

Women at her age had started to bloom beautifully, maturing from a child to become a woman.

His mental age was already much older, but his physical body was 21 years old. He's still very young but he couldn't truly adapt to this age. Because he would always feel that he was much older.

Looking at Nan Hua, sometimes he felt that he was looking at a child.

A child he watched growing up.

"Has Fan Yi Kingdom begin to make their moves?" Nan Hua asked. She knew that Long Qian Xing was sent to the border of Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom not long ago. At that time, she heard that he accomplished a lot and even pushed the border further to the north.

While the increase was not every significant at this time, it might play a big role in the future.

"Fan Yi Kingdom?" Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "There are a lot of powerful people there if that's what you want to ask. However, they didn't treat us seriously in the war before."

"Didn't treat you seriously?" Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing, a bit confused.

If Fan Yi Kingdom didn't treat Long Qian Xing seriously, was they releasing water when they fought against Long Qian Xing? Considering that they lost their crown prince in order to stop the war, it didn't seem to be that way.

Why would the Emperor want to lose his son because of the war?

Long Qian Xing showed a faint smile. "I didn't mean that they're releasing water. They can't do their best because they're busy at two completely different fronts."

No matter how powerful Fan Yi Kingdom, having to face two powerful force, they would be overwhelmed. It was impossible for them to truly focus on Long Qian Xing because it was winter.

And winter is the time when the people at the north came to invade them.

The northern border has never been peaceful. Fan Yi Kingdom would always have to fight them every year in order to protect the people who lived there. It was also because of this that Fan Yi Kingdom was the one that rarely made any move.

They were busy with their own problems.

Problems that they couldn't solve easily because of their location and history.
