Chapter 865: Personal Matter and Group Matter (2)

"Everything is settled." Si Mo Fan finally finished talking and left the area. The three leaders would pay a visit each month to give report and for the antidotes that Nan Hua had prepared.     

There were more than enough for them to take for years.     

She had left all of them with Yan Xi.     

Nan Hua nodded. "You should go back first."     

"Are you going with Ji Han Yu? Be careful that he might attack you from behind. That b*stard like to do sneak attack."     

"Si Mo Fan! Stop slandering me right in front of my face!"     

"Who's the one who attacked the leader when there's an attack a few years ago?"     

"That's because you're the one who don't pay attention to your steps! If you had stepped another step, you would have fallen into that damn trap!"     

"What trap? You're the one who slandered me…."     

Swish!     

Nan Hua swiftly moved away from the two of them. Just from their quarrel each day, she had learned many of their embarrassing past that they would never possibly leak out themselves.     

"Fei Mao."     

"Yes, Miss?" Fei Mao had been following them, but his skills were not good enough to stay at the frontline. This caused him to stay at the back until Si Mo Fan and the others finished their negotiation.     

"We're going to West Valley. Tell Ji Han Yu to come when he had settled his matters."     

"Yes."     

Fei Mao watched as Nan Hua and Nan Si disappeared into the distance. Their speed was simply too fast for his eyes to follow. He sighed internally before looking towards the quarreling duo.     

The two of them had much higher rank than him.     

It was already a blessing for him to be able to see them up close because of his mission as an errand boy for Nan Hua.     

Swish!     

Nan Hua traveled first towards the West Valley. Xia Mountains spanned for a very wide area. There used to be wars between the four kingdoms in this place, but then many of them chose to retreat.     

The Xia Mountains didn't have much resources.     

On the contrary, they were very tall and hard to conquer. As a result, those people usually passed by the valleys and only the tribes or some organizations were staying in the higher ground.     

It had become silent agreement for them not to cross each other.     

The West Valley was not far from where Night Rat Organization settled. It was right beside it and all Nan Hua had to do was to run for a quarter of an incense stick. And to sweep the area, she would have to walk towards the north east direction.     

Based on the length, she should be able to finish walking and checking within three incense sticks of time at most.         

'Let's just start.'     

The road was uneven, but Nan Hua estimated that horses would still be able to pass through. Probably they wouldn't be as fast as they were on flat road. It was more than enough for war horse.     

West Valley was filled with grassland.     

Some were higher than others, but it was still possible to see through to a distance.     

Once battle started, things wouldn't be as quiet as it was right now.     

Swish!     

At that moment, Nan Hua felt danger. She stopped in her track and bend her body to the back as a shadow passed through in front of her. Her eyes narrowed as she took out her dagger and swung it towards the direction of the shadow in front of her.     

Swish!     

It only hit the air.     

There was no time for her to take a closer look to her opponent as Nan Hua jumped to the side, evading the next attack. She knew that whoever attacked her was a person, but the way he moved was very similar to that of a beast.     

The attack was proven to be futile.     

As Nan Hua moved away, she noticed that the one who attacked her was a young boy. He was smaller than her and dressed in tattered clothes. There was some kind of wild aura around the boy as he dashed towards her.     

Fast and swift.     

That was the impression Nan Hua got from the young boy.     

However, Nan Hua was also not that slow. Her body moved in accordance to avoid the boy as her hand swiftly moved forward.     

Swish!     

Her dagger passed through thin air.     

The boy's danger perception was really high that it was hard for Nan Hua to touch him even if she wanted to.     

Her eyes narrowed as she saw the boy claws reaching close.     

Screech!     

The claw reached the dagger and her hand. However, Nan Hua ignored the pain as she kicked forward.     

Bang!     

The boy sommersaulted midair and landed quite a distance away. He held onto his stomach while looking at Nan Hua with a wild and dangerous look. It was clear that he was not going to let this off easily.     

Nan Hua stared at the young boy, taking a closer look at his body size and also movement.     

For all she knew, the boy was as fast as her.         

It wouldn't be easy to avoid him, but it was not completely impossible. His desperate means felt more like someone who was forced to live through this way and it was not his entire decision.     

Unavoidable battle.     

It was unpleasant.     

Swish!     

Nan Hua pushed herself to the limit as her senses followed the movement of the boy. Her eyes wouldn't be able to keep up and she didn't want to depend on it either. A true assassin knew how to use every part of their body.     

Slash!     

The dagger slashed on the boy's arm as he jumped back. He looked at Nan Hua warily as if trying to gauge whether it was worth it to attack or not. But in the next moment, he jumped towards Nan Hua with his claws ready to attack once more.     

Jerking her hand to the side, Nan Hua threw several needles towards the boy.     

Jleb! Swish! Swish!
