1377 Eavesdropping

Seeing how high the defense was, Nan Hua's eyes flickered. Her gaze finally landed on the incense burner at the side and guessed how this area had such high toxicity.

Swish!

She had to finish her job as soon as possible.

Running inside, Nan Hua noticed several elders who were inside. They were all people with high position within the Lin Family. After all, only those with enough status would be allowed to enter the inner compound.

Nan Hua stopped.

"There are another one who died on the outer compound."

"Who is it?"

"I don't know his name. He should be one of the concubine child, only 5 years old."

"Tsk, the young generation are getting weaker and weaker. Those who are of age should hurry and get married so that we would not have our people reduced so much."

"What's the use of having so many children but they're weak and couldn't even withstand a little bit of poison."

"Right."

In the name of training, countless children had died in Lin Family. Nan Hua had read the report and hearing the conversation of these two elders, she knew very well that they only cared for the Lin Family inheritance.

They had suffered when they were young and now they let the younger generation to suffer in the same way.

Only those who were strong enough would be able to survive.

The cycle never ended.

Nan Hua stayed still on her place, waiting for them to leave. Her black obsidian pupil was staring straight to the front. The way these people treated their descendant was truly something that she could never accept.

The pain, suffering, and desperation that a child had to endure in order to live was inhuman.

When they grew up, they just wished others to suffer the same way as them.

Not having any love or care, they were all raised simply for the sake of the inheritance of the Lin Family.

"Oh, you're also here, Fourth Elder Lin."

"I was paying a visit to Master Lin Sun. He said that he should be able to have a breakthrough soon."

"Right, he's using the new flower that was planted at the back. Master Lin Xia crossbreed the flowers and had some success. Master Lin Sun is taking them in order to try the new method."

Crossbreed?

Nan Hua's eyes flickered.

The fact that plants could crossbreed to create more variants was something that she also knew. However, she didn't expect that there will also be some people who do the crossbreed in this era.

After all, the technology and theory hadn't been truly developed at this time.

Recalling the fact that the Lin Family ending through the novel she read before, Nan Hua could guess why this crossbreed matter was slowly forgotten in time. No one would truly have the time to care for it.

"It succeed? I thought that it will fail again."

"I'm not sure, you have to ask Master Lin Xia about it."

"She agreed with giving the flower?"

"No. She argued a lot with Master Lin Sun about this, saying that these flowers are not for him or something. I just finished calming them down…."

Drap! Drap! Drap!

"Master, the number of disciples didn't match up! There might be an intruder."

"What? Find him soon!"

"Yes!"

"Damn! There are more and more people who are trying to sneak into our Lin Family." Fourth Old Master Lin's face was black. "It's already the 7th time this year."

Nan Hua who was hiding narrowed her eyes. It seemed that she was not the only one who was trying to take care of the Lin Family. No wonder that these elders were all very impatient to have more people in Lin Family.

Every time there was an assassination or something like that, the number of people in Lin Family would decrease.

Even though the intruder kept on failing, it was harming both sides.

'I guess it's time to move.'

Swish!

No longer hiding, Nan Hua dashed towards the few elders in front of her. Several needles appeared between her fingers and with a jerk of her hand, headed towards these few elders in front of her.

Swish! Jleb! Jleb! Jleb! Clang!

Thud! Thud!

"Who's there?!"

More than half of the elder fell down as the needle hit deep into their vital point. Falling down to the ground, they were all died without knowing the reason.

The rest of the elders were fast enough to either avoid the needle or strike back with needle too.

Nan Hua didn't answer.

She had already arrived in front of one of the elder, her right hand holding a dagger, which was swung horizontally.

Slash!

It cut open the elder's stomach.

Another elder rushed forward to help but Nan Hua side stepped to the side calmly and her left hand jerked, sending a needle straight towards the elder's forehead.

Jleb!

One move was enough to kill the elder.

"Who the hell are you?"

These elders looked at Nan Hua with fear in their eyes. There were a lot of people who had broken into Lin Family many times in the past. But this was the first time they saw someone who could still move around so well even with the poison in this area.

Not to mention, this skill was definitely not something that an ordinary person could possibly have.

This assassin in front of them had to be famous!

Nan Hua didn't bother to answer. Several needles had appeared once more, jerking towards the last three elders left.

Swish! Jleb! Swish!

Two elders reacted in time and the last one was missed. He knelt on the ground and saw Nan Hua had arrived.

"No…"

Slash!

The dagger cut down the throat without any pause.

Nan Hua then looked at the last two elders, Fourth Old Master Lin, the real leader of Lin Family and someone she didn't know.

Fourth Old Master Lin looked at the side and the other elder charged forward. "Die!"

Swish!

The few needles were avoided easily.
