Chapter 753: Battle Against Great General Nan (1)Unlike Old Master Nan who looked troubled, Nan Hua was as calm as ever. Her clear black eyes shifted to look outside. It was still summer and there were a lot of people walking around under the scorching gaze of the sun.
"Are you not worried, Hua'er?" Old Master Nan was helpless.
"He wouldn't be able to find anything." Nan Hua shifted her gaze back. Her black obsidian eyes looked extremely clear just like the surface of mirror. "And even if he did, he wouldn't think in this direction."
Old Master Nan was speechless.
He didn't know why his granddaughter was so confident in herself, but he felt that it was also good for her to know and be confident. He believed in her ability since he had seen for himself just what she was capable to do, but he was still worried for his granddaughter.
If she was pulled to get involved in the messy political scheme, he would not care about anything and barge in with his sword in his hand.
"Don't try to get involved too deeply. Those people are too annoying."
"I won't, Grandfather."
Old Master Nan sighed. He didn't want to control his granddaughter and looking at her gaze, he didn't think that he would be able to control her either.
"Speaking of Nan Family Residence." Old Master Nan switched the conversation. "You have several months of preparations, why did you only make rapid movement for the past two to three weeks?"
"It's the right time." Nan Hua was calm.
"Is it not because of you trying to retrieve your memory?"
Seeing his granddaughter's eyes were still without any ripple, Old Master Nan wondered what kind of news would be able to shake her up. Most of the time, even the most surprising piece of news didn't affect her at all.
"Luo told me."
"I see."
"You're not surprised."
"I know Luo."
In short: she could guess what her twin brother would do.
It was harder to control than sword and strained his body more than his age allowed him to.
"Come." Old Master Nan's gaze was sharp.
In the shadow, Hou Lin took a deep breath as his gaze focused on the two people in front of him. He knew that should the situation called for it, he would have to stop them.
When Old Master Nan turned serious, there were times when he couldn't control his strength well. He wouldn't want to hurt his granddaughter, but he wanted to teach her the difference between martial artist and a general.
This was the only method.
A true life and death battle.
"Pardon me."
Swish!
Nan Hua no longer hesitated and used her best speed to rush towards her grandfather. She naturally would not use her needles but rather her sword.
Clang!
The crisp sound of metal clashing with each other could be heard.
Nan Hua noticed that her sword was blocked, so she swiftly retracted it and then swung it forward again. Her reaction was swift and fast, aiming towards another vital point of her grandfather.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The moment they started fighting, Old Master Nan was focusing to defend from Nan Hua's attack. Her speed was very swift and if he dared to blink even once, he might lose her and then lost his life.
In terms of speed and reaction alone, Nan Hua was top notch.
But real battlefield was not only about defending.
Swish! Slash!
