Chapter 868: The Abandoned Child, Hui Ling

Chapter 868: The Abandoned Child, Hui LingThere were several battles that occurred, but Nan Hua was not interested in the battle. She simply watched from the sides as Ji Han Yu led the men from Dark Moon Organization to take care of the few small tribes around this area.

Truthfully, there were other bigger tribes further to the west, but Nan Hua didn't want to deal with them.

At least not now.

It was not the time yet.

Swish!

Swiftly sidestepping to the side, Nan Hua calmly evaded the attack from Hui Ling's dagger. The dagger was naturally given to him since the time Nan Hua allowed him to stay with her.

This was only the second day.

And Hui Ling had already tried to attack her again.

Nan Hua was not surprised and looked at Hui Ling, who tried to kick her. She simply moved her hand slightly and then grabbed his ankle.

Nan Hua increased the force in her grip and Hui Ling's face changed slightly. He grimaced in pain and nodded.

Thud!

When Nan Hua released her hand, Hui Ling swiftly retreated. He knew that he was not Nan Hua's match and had no intention of courting death. Nan Hua herself didn't care that much about Hui Ling and looked down at the bamboo scroll in her hand again.

Hui Ling looked in Nan Hua's direction for a while before busying himself to find some herbs. He naturally didn't fully trust Nan Hua, but he knew that if Nan Hua wanted to kill him, she could do it within moments.

So, he chose to stay obedient.

"Young Miss," Wan Xiong greeted as he walked closer. He had naturally seen their fight just now and felt a bit compelled as to why Nan Hua would allowed such an impudent brat to linger around her.

But she didn't.

The very first reason was naturally her grandfather. Nan Hua knew how much Old Master Nan loved Fei Yang Kingdom and had seen him struggled to defend it. If she were to cause chaos internally, her grandfather wouldn't be happy.

Even if he supported her, he wouldn't be so peaceful inside.

Having her own son died in front of him last time had already caused Old Master Nan to be in disarray and low mood. Even though he tried to hide it, Nan Hua could still detect the somewhat downcast mood he had.

Old Master Nan cared so much about her.

So Nan Hua would also take care of what her grandfather treasured. She didn't want to see him sad again.

Even if she didn't love Fei Yang Kingdom as much as Old Master Nan, Nan Hua still feel that it was good for her to have a root, a place to belong.

In her original world, she was an orphan.

And her only place to go back was the organization that trained her and treated her as a tool. Even if she was not treated as a human being, Nan Hua had no other place she wanted to go either.

Thus, she never thought about finding a place to truly belong because finding her parents in the world with so many people was unrealistic. They have abandoned her too, which meant that they didn't want her.

Since her parents didn't want her, Nan Hua didn't want them either.

But it was different here.

She had a true family, friends, a kingdom where she belonged, and also her own organization that she could control.

Knowing the trajectory of history through the novel she read, Nan Hua knew that there were things that she had to keep the same if she wished for Fei Yang Kingdom to be the final winner. If she were to destroy the kingdom's foundation, she would also lose her roots.

When she had more power in her hand, Nan Hua understood very well that her every action would affect more people and even the big picture.

That was why, she had to think more carefully before picking any action.

She could not afford to make a mistake.
