Nan Hua flexed her hand.
She felt that she was growing a bit impatient right now. The most important she needed as an assassin was patience. It was because she had to strike her opponent at the most vulnerable moment.
And this moment would only appear for a brief time.
An assassin would have to be prepared to attack at that very short moment so that they would never be defeated.
But Nan Hua realized that when she had her family that she wanted to protect, her patience was not as good as before. Back then, she didn't have any important identity or anything to protect as she was nothing more than a tool.
Even if they caught her, even if they knew it was her, she didn't care.
All that mattered was that the mission completed.
This was the reason why she could have a perfect mission record. And it was also the reason why a lot of people feared her when they heard her codename. No one dared to compete with her anymore when they heard that she was assigned a specific mission.
Because they knew that they would lose.
But it was different here.
Nan Hua couldn't be as reckless as she used to be where she didn't care about anything, not even her own safety. If she was hurt, her family would nag her and felt heartache for her. If she recklessly revealed her identity, her family members would be targeted because of her.
There were restrains.
But even if these restrains existed and made it harder for Nan Hua to finish her mission, she still preferred to have it without any at all. Because this had also allowed her to feel the warmth that she never received before.
The feelings that she didn't know she still have.
It had allowed her to retain the last bit of humanity left inside her.
"We'll deal with him," Nan Hua said softly. "Even if we can't deal with him now, it didn't mean that we wouldn't be able to deal with him forever."
Yu Jin raised her head and saw Nan Hua's calm black obsidian eyes. She closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down. This wild side of hers has always been dormant because she didn't want to scare her men.
She had caused a lot of problems when she was young. And one of them was her volatile temper. When she was angry, she could truly become a beast who would attack other people without restrain.
"You're right. I don't believe he'll be able to contend against us forever." Yu Jin's eyes flashed with determination. She would defeat that d*mn monster no matter what. Even if she had to turn into a monster to defeat him, she would make sure to get her revenge for him killing her men.
Nan Hua nodded.
She noticed that it was almost dawn, so they should prepare for the war.
…
Fang Sheng Lin walked into the camp and the soldiers all parted into two ways, clearly giving him the way inside. No one dared to stop him even though many of them didn't recognize him.
Fang Sheng Lin raised his eyes, his dark brown pupil stared straight at the Sixth Prince. It didn't look any different from an ordinary gaze, but the Sixth Prince could feel the hidden killing intent and bloodlust coming from the person in front of him.
His body shivered unconsciously.
"I don't want to fight unworthy opponent." Fang Sheng Lin snorted.
His goal was to achieve the highest attainment in martial arts as fast as possible. There was no point in fighting against opponents who were too weak. Thus, he would rather probe their strength first.
"You should tell me the next time you want to do this. If you're not careful enough, you might fall for their trap." Prime Minister Lei waved his hand.
"Yeah, yeah."
The casual tone clearly told them that Fang Sheng Lin didn't pay much attention to Prime Minister Lei's words. It was actually to be expected considering that Fang Sheng Lin was not actually interested in the military affairs.
All he wanted was to get stronger.
Prime Minister Lei waved his hand to dismiss the others. They had to prepare for the war in front of them.
…
The war continued.
And in this battle, the dominance that the Mountain Tribe showed for the past few weeks were greatly reduced. It was to the point that even the soldiers could feel it very well.
