40 Permission to Go Out

Nan Luo looked at his grandfather. "Grandpa, can we get out today?"

"Get out?" Old Master Nan was stunned. He looked at his son and daughter in confusion. "What do you want to do?"

"I want to pick present for Hua'er!" Nan Luo said seriously. Their birthday was in two days, so he wanted to make sure that he picked the best present for his sister. Even though there was such an unsavory meeting just now, he had thrown the incident to the back of his mind.

His twin sister is more important!

Old Master Nan rolled his eyes. "Can't you ask your servants to go?"

"I want to go by myself! They can't possibly know what kind of items I want!" Nan Luo protested.

"In that case, finish copying the book first."

"Grandpa, it's too much…."

"If you finish copying it, I'll allow you to go tomorrow."

Nan Luo gritted his teeth. He liked to run around on the field much more than studying those things. However, he had to adhered to his grandfather's rule if he wanted to go out. He nodded solemnly. "Fine, I'll copy it. Grandpa, you're not allowed to take back your promise!"

With that, Nan Luo rushed to copy as fast as possible. He had to finish it by today or he wouldn't be able to go tomorrow.

Old Master Nan shook his head and turned to look at Nan Hua, who was standing with her wooden sword. He took out several wooden knives and handed it to Nan Hua. "For now, we're going to learn how to throw knives first."

Throw knife?

Nan Hua looked at the knives then nodded. It was easy for her but she wanted to know whether there were any differences or not with what she had learned before.

Thus, the training began with Hou Liang taught her the method. It was not hard and Nan Hua didn't find any remarkable differences with the one she had already mastered. Since she already had good control over her body, the task became easier.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Several knives were thrown to the target at the front. It was not that far since Nan Hua's strength couldn't be compared to adult. 10 meters might be the limit for her current strength.

Tak! Tak! Tak!

"Bullseye." Hou Liang was dumbfounded. He was staring at the knives in his hand and felt that his months of training in the past was useless.

He had to train bitterly for such a long time and yet Nan Hua only needed a few incense stick of time in order to master the technique. The difference was really worlds' apart.

"Can we use moving target?" Nan Hua asked after she had hit the bullseye for more than 100 times. Her hand felt slightly numb but she should be able to do this for several more times.

"You want to try a moving target?"

"Mhm."

"Alright." Hou Liang took several pieces of wood that he had prepared at the side. He looked at Nan Hua and after seeing that she was ready, he threw one of them on the air.

Nan Hua's eyes were fixed on the wood. The moment it was in front of her, her hand had already moved and the knife flew towards the wood.

Tak!

It hit right in the middle.

Hou Liang was stunned. Nan Hua's precision was truly one of the kind. He believed that no other people who could possibly match with her.

"Again."

The training lasted for a day and when they finished, Hou Liang had another kind of admiration towards Nan Hua. He could see that she was tired and yet, she still continued to train.

Not only that, she was also training with both hands. Even at moving target, she hit the target with high precision.

"What do you think of her, Hou Liang?" Old Master Nan was watching from the side while doing his work. Even he nearly couldn't hide his pride.

"Young Miss Hua is a genius." Hou Liang had to admit it. Martial arts, swords, and knives. She was good at all of them. All she needed was time and practice in order to become even better.

Old Master Nan nodded in satisfaction. "Train her well."

"Yes, Master!"
