Zisch!
In the darkness, Nan Hua could sense several people moving quickly towards the residence before her. They sneaked in through the side door and hurried over to one of the few buildings there.
"Stay here," she commanded.
"Yes," was the reply.
Nan Hua then leapt down and stealthily made her way towards the same building.
Cai Yun Shao and Fei Mao followed her at a distance, while Hou Lin, a bit further away, did his best to remain unseen. From the moment he had followed Nan Hua to the cloth store, his heart had been uneasy.
Seeing her now among so many powerful assassins made him feel as if his heart had plunged into a deep abyss.
'Will the Young Miss be alright?'
Despite knowing Nan Hua's strength from countless training sessions together, his concern lingered. She was just 9 years old, soon to be 10. It was understandable to be afraid that she might not handle herself well among so many seasoned individuals.
Yet, he dared not proceed further.
Tep!
