244 Master and Disciple

"Hua'er?" Nan Luo was startled.

Nan Hua pointed at the back. "I'll help them."

"Why?"

Why?

While Nan Hua was unfamiliar with the word family and friends, she still has a master who taught her in the past. He was the very person who taught her everything that she knew and took care of her. Even though it was only for a limited period of time, he helped her a lot.

"He's my Master."

There was no other reason.

The carriage abruptly stopped as Nan Hua opened the door, looking at the back with a calm and indifferent expression. Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai had taken out their weapons while looking at the back.

"I'll cover you." Feng Ao Kuai waved his bow.

Nan Luo nodded.

Nan Hua furrowed her eyebrows. "You two don't have to come."

"You're our sisters, how can we sit idly when you're braving dangers?"

While the children made the decision to stop, Old Master Nan also asked the driver to stop. He didn't have any plan to participate in the fight as he watched the three children chose to collaborate together. His eyes showed a hint of smile.

Clang!

"Master, stay inside." Shan Yu had come out and brandished his sword. He was not much of a martial artist… but he should at least protect his master.

Traveling Doctor Liu was relatively calm. He was looking at his pursuer as a smile formed on the corner of his lips. "It seems that they've caught us off guard this time."

"Master, this is not the time for dawdling."

"I know."

"Can I use that thing, Master?"

"No." Traveling Doctor Liu looked at the front where there were a lot of people. He didn't want to put those soldiers who came with Old Master Nan and his little disciple in danger. They were not worthy of him using such drastic measure yet.

"Alright."

Clang!

The men stepped forward and clashed with Shan Yu. Shan Yu furrowed his eyebrows. Even though his master had already conditioned his body many years ago and he himself had many experience, he had to admit that the assassins who came today were not rookies.

They truly meant it.

Clang! Slash!

Several men in black rushed in. Shan Yu furrowed his eyebrows and stepped forward to block one of them. However, another one that was near him managed to slip past him towards the carriage.

"Master!"

Swish!

"I can take care of myself." Traveling Doctor Liu smiled. A needle had flown from the tip of his finger effortlessly. It looked as if he was not dealing with enemies but rather patients.

Beside him, Kuang Shen was expressionless. After losing his family members, he was no stranger to these battles anymore. He knew very well that his life would never be in peace anymore and that his life would always hung on a thread.

"Stay here."

"Yes, Master."

Traveling Doctor Liu glanced at the other side. As he was about to attack, a small shadow had moved and cut the assassin in front of him into two. Afterwards, the small shadow moved to the side.

Kuang Shen was stunned. "That's…?"

"Hua'er." Traveling Doctor Liu didn't seem surprised. In fact, he had already guessed as much when he checked Nan Hua's pulse. Her pulse showed high vitality and strength far surpassed any other children her age. Even most males might not be able to be as strong as her.

Well, excluding some terrifying monster.

Slash!

Nan Hua moved swiftly. Before the men could even notice what was going on, they felt pain and the next second, all they could see was darkness. As an assassin herself, Nan Hua was very proficient at hiding her presence and attacked when her opponent was caught unprepared.

Thus, it was easy for her to deal with the enemies on this side.

Jleb!

Feng Ao Kuai finished the assassin who hid on the trees. He glanced to the other areas, scanning carefully for anymore ambush. From the way it looked like, the majority of people who came here were close combat assassin.

It meant that his next target should be those who were aiming for his little cousin.

"Gah!"

Slash!

Not far from Feng Ao Kuai, Nan Luo was busy protecting the archer. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai, who was standing on top of the carriage with exasperation. "Can't you hurry and finish them all?"

"Just do your job properly."

Nan Luo: "…."

Profanities were rampaging inside Nan Luo's head. He originally wanted to be like Nan Hua, rushing forward and took care of the enemies. But knowing that Feng Ao Kuai's weakness would be close combat since he was taking the role as an archer, he had to stay behind.

This made him feeing utterly depressed.

"You're not allowed to turn around." Old Master Nan walked out of the carriage and looked at his grandchildren helplessly. But at the same time, he felt warm in his heart.

With this, Nan Hua had inevitably exposed the fact that she could do martial arts. Thus, all the assassins who came here had to die!

"Master, do you want me to stop Young Master?" Hou Liang furrowed his eyebrows. In his opinion, there was no need for the Young Miss and the two Young Masters to make a move by themselves.

"No need." Old Master Nan knew that Nan Hua just wanted to help her Master with her own strength. He wanted her to be able to do whatever she wished, so he would not stop her and only helped her to clean up the mess.

Besides, Hou Lin was also already busy cleaning up those who were hiding.

"Yes, Master."

The other soldiers didn't dare to turn around as per Old Master Nan's order. Even though they were curious, Old Master Nan didn't allow them to see it.

It would be better for lesser people to know Nan Hua's real skill even though he trusted the soldiers he brought with him this time.

Slash!

Dancing across the road, Nan Hua swiftly eliminated the assassins. She moved very fast and all they could see was her afterimages after she had moved to another place. Watching their teammates died one by one without being able to do anything was so devastating.

Right now, the assassins began to doubt their lives.

Thud! Thud!

"Clear." Nan Hua glanced at the forest. There was someone else who was killing the assassins over there. He seemed to be one of her senior brothers.

Thud!

"That's quite taxing." Shan Yu wiped his sweat when he didn't notice anyone coming close. When he turned around, he froze. Seeing the dead bodies around Nan Hua while she stood there peacefully was enough to give him a shock.

Dressed in white colored dress, Nan Hua looked like a pure flower in the midst of the cruel sight of the battlefield. Dead bodies fell around her, blood stained her sword, but there was none on her dress.

The image was contrasting.

Yet it was beautiful.

Probably, Shan Yu would never be able to forget the image of his junior sister in his entire life.

"Hua'er."

"Master," Nan Hua answered when she heard her Master called. He pulled the door towards the carriage and beckoned for her to come closer.
