1024 Winter Battle (2)
“Han Yuan City?” Nan Hua glanced at Yu Jin as her steps left traces on the snowy ground. Now that it was winter, there was more snow on the mountain. It was colder but for them, there was not much different. Their martial arts allowed them to fare better even in such weather.
“Yeah, I’m deployed there.” Yu Jin played with the letter, contemplating whether she should follow the arrangement or not. If she had to be honest, she didn’t like being ordered by other people.
Even though the Mountain Tribe and Fei Yang Kingdom was in a cooperative relationship, Yu Jin still didn’t like the idea of following someone else’s order. She had been in around this area for the past few months, occasionally moving to another place in accordance to what she wanted.
Now, they asked her to go there.
“Will you go?”
“I think that I should go.” Yu Jin sighed. “Well, we’ve been in a stalemate for a long period of time. I don’t think that there will be any merit in actually following this order.”
Nan Hua: “...”
The defense that Prime Minister Lei deployed had been quite effective so far. Because of that, Fei Yang Kingdom failed to infiltrate deep into their territory and had been locked in a stalemate.
They tried many things, but so far, there hasn’t been any significance progress.
.....
“Will you come along?”
“Mhm.”
Yu Jin looked at Nan Hua thoughtfully. There was something that she was curious about. “You’re already 16 years old by now, right? From what I know, noble ladies are usually getting married at this age, but you don’t seem to have any arrangement from your family.”
Nan Hua didn’t answer.
She had the arrangement, but since she was playing dead, there was no way she would return. Besides, the battle had just started and only when she was here did she manage to expand Dark Moon Organization’s influence more.
If she was in Nan Family Residence, she would never be able to have such freedom.
The life of a noble lady was not exactly suitable for someone like her.
“Tsk, my little sister didn’t want me to hug you now,” Yu Jin complained.
“Maintain your image, Jin Jie, you’re out in the open.” Nan Hua glanced at Yu Jin. She had never accepted any of Yu Jin’s hug anyway.
“There’s only Ah Shan here.”
Wu Shan’s lips twitched and felt like face palming. He was the person who knew the best how different his older sister was when she was when they were alone and when there were other people.
He only came here to inform that there were some people from Dark Moon Organization who had arrived....
But seeing his older sister and younger sister fooling around –ugh, correction, his older sister tried to fool around with his younger sister, he couldn’t bring himself to say that. He could only stand at the side like a statue.
“Ah Shan, any other news aside from the report?” Yu Jin asked.
“There’s someone from Dark Moon Organization who come. She brought this token with the word ‘gen’ written on it.”
“Name?”
“She said that her surname is Xi.”
Xi?
Nan Hua instantly recalled Leader Xi. Most of the time, Leader Xi would be staying in the valley beside Dark Moon Organization’s headquarter and handled many things from there. She didn’t really like to fight and would prefer some management task, which was why Nan Hua had never moved her out.
It seemed that Leader Xi was bored that she traveled far to the West towards Mountain Tribe’s area.
“...How many people fall asleep on the way?”
Wu Shan smiled bitterly. “Around 40 people.”
“... I’ll see her.”
Nan Hua walked to the outer area. Normally, guests were not allowed to enter too deeply and Nan Hua only reached this base because she sneaked in back then.
Yu Jin arched her eyebrows and cracked her fist. If it was anyone other than Nan Hua’s people who dared to brazenly come here, she would make them taste her fist. She snorted and followed Nan Hua out.
