Chapter 288 – The Training Grounds
Nan San: "..."
Why did he get insulted when he was just asking?
However, he understood that this plan was indeed feasible. If it was discovered and failed, it meant that the mistake lies on him.
Nan Hua stood up. She looked at the dancers. Back in Heng Xing City, the assassins were a combination of both men and women. But in Wind City, she could see that the majority of the elites were the women.
"Show me your training room."
"Yes, Miss."
The dancers were still feeling a bit indignant about their new allocated job, but they obeyed Nan Hua's order. The training room was actually their practice room. All the dancers in this building were assassins without any exception.
Nan Hua's eyes landed on the two girls at the corner of the room.
"Miss, they're the recently new recruits. Because their skills are lacking, they still have to train and couldn't come out yet," one of the dancers explained.
"Nan Si."
Swish!
Nan Si appeared before Nan Hua. He was silently observing from the ceiling all this time and would only appear when he was called. After that, he would simply disappear back to his hiding place.
He disliked crowd and moreover, this was a place with a lot of strangers. He hated it so much.
"Does any of you can defeat him?" Nan Hua looked at the dancers.
The dancers were stunned then shook their head. Because their speed was slower than him and they couldn't detect him, if they had to have a faceoff with Nan Si, they would surely lose miserably.
Nan Hua nodded. "Fight with me in this place, Nan Si."
"Yes, Miss."
Swish!
Swish!
Twisting midair, Nan Hua landed on the ground and her dagger stopped beside Nan Si's neck.
"You should have evaded."
Nan Si was quiet. He knew that Nan Hua was correct, but there was no time for him to evade when he noticed that Nan Hua was coming at him. Because of his delayed reaction, he ended up bearing the brunt of Nan Hua's heavy landing.
"Yes, Miss."
Nan Hua looked at the fallen cloth and stepped closer to figure out the material. Her eyes flashed when she sensed the softness. "Where did you get this material?"
"Mast... I mean Nan San bought it from traveling merchants who come from the north."
"Are there more of the materials?"
"Yes, Nan San keep the leftover in the storage room."
"Bring me a bolt later. You can go now." Nan Hua then looked at the group of dancers at the side.
They were now standing petrified. Most of the time, they were at the passive end when they were facing Nan Si. After all, not a single one of them managed to guess where he was located at.
"Starting tomorrow, every night 7 of you will do mission in accordance to your strength. Split into 3 groups and finish 3 missions each night and you can take 50% of the reward." Nan Hua was silent for a while. "The other seven will continue to do their work in this building and teach those two."
"Yes, Miss."
The two girls were all looking at Nan Hua with their eyes widened. It was clear that they didn't expect that the girl who looked like she was younger than them would be even better than them.
Nan Hua was looking at the two of them as her mind rotated at high speed. An idea suddenly popped inside her mind.
"What's your name?"
"Xiao Xi."
"Ku."
Xiao Xi?
Hearing the name, Nan Hua was silent. Her mind was in a mess as she clearly remembered that in the original novel, Xiao Xi was the name of the other servant aside from Xiao Yun who would accompany Nan Hua all the time.. Even though there were two other servants, who were Mu Yan and Chu Yue, the two of them were said to usually stay behind and only follow very occasionally.
