Time ticked.
Nan Hua casually walked around the area and bought some buns for her to fill her stomach. She didnt look that much different from any other ordinary youth with her makeup and outfit. However, her gaze didnt really leave the palace as she took a seat on nearby teashop.
The wall is too high for ordinary martial artist to breach.
This was one of the uniqueness of the palace. It was built with several layer of protection that would not allow intruder to get inside easily. Otherwise, how could they possibly guarantee the safety of the people inside?
Nan Hua watched the group motionlessly before moving towards the back area of the palace. This place might have high wall, but there was a small forest where they could take advantage of the trees. It was easier to sneak inside through this method, but they would also land in the area filled with guards.
It would turn into another night filled with battle.
*rustle*
The bushes moved and the face of a white fox appeared. Nan Hua looked at it for a moment as she wondered what in the world Lin Yuan did in this area. The only person she knew who kept white fox as pet was Lin Yuan and the others were several noble ladies.
F***! Bai Lan, where are you.
The fox cooed for a bit before moving forward. It naturally recognized Nan Huas scent because Nan Hua had stayed in Long Qian Xings Residence a few times. Her smell lingered there and Lin Yuan had taught it that those who were close to him and his friends were all good people.
Nan Hua bent down and lightly brushed her finger across the foxs head. The fur was soft.
Go back to your owner.
The fox looked at Nan Hua as its tail bristled a bit before turning around. It jumped across the area and soon, Nan Hua could hear the voice of Lin Yuan yelling in delight.
Bai Lan! Here you are! Didnt I tell you that youre not allowed to leave my side?
You say that Bai Lan will be useful?
That indifferent voiceLong Qian Xing.
I say that if theres any enemy, Bai Lan will definitely be able to detect them. Lin Yuans voice sounded dissatisfied. Are you thinking that Bai Yan will be able to attack them with her small claws?
Long Qian Xing passed a mocking gaze towards Lin Yun, not caring about what the young man would think. He only agreed to bring Lin Yuan here because this young man could not stop talking about how much he wanted to see the action in the first persons sight.
Lin Yuan even bragged that Bai Lan would be very useful.
Looking at the way it looked like, the fox was only good as Lin Yuans pet and not as tracking fox. Besides, Long Qian Xing never thought of relying on the fox to be able to detect the enemies coming to the palace.
Youre finally back to the Capital City. Are you done with your traveling?
More or less. Lin Yuan grinned. I gained free access to Zhang Xu Kingdom, so I can head there anytime I want now. Theres no need to sneak around and deal with so many troublesome people.
Good.
Lin Yuan was speechless.
Is that the only praise you have for me?
Long Qian Xing didnt answer and Lin Yuan felt that his friend was really very stingy. They hadnt seen each other for months but the other party didnt even praise him for the hard work he had done. It was not easy to get this pass, alright? He had to cozy up to so many annoying nobles.
It was all painstaking effort, alright?
Are you planning to stay here?
I have been training martial arts recently and I would like to see how much Ill fare. Lin Yuan grinned.
In that case, I wont protect you.
Eh? What? Dont be like that! I
Swish!
Long Qian Xing didnt bother with Lin Yuans rambling because there were several people rushing over towards them at this very moment. Swords slashing and the guard around Long Qian Xing also began to move.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Moving agilely, Long Qian Xing swiftly eliminated the assassin in front of him. His figure seemed to be flashing around as he appeared in front of the next one and killed the other party easily.
It didnt look like humans movement.
Lin Yuan stood rooted on the ground with his sword ready. On his shoulder, Bai Lan yawned and looked bored. She seemed to have guessed that Lin Yuan was all talk and no action.
Slash! Thud!
With Long Qian Xings lead, the assassins were unable to even get close to the palace.
They were eliminated so easily.
In the shadow, Nan Hua watched the massacre that was going on before moving to the opposite direction. He didnt need her help. With his skill, these assassins could be dealt very quickly.
Raising the cloth to cover her mouth and a hood to cover her head, Nan Hua stopped before a group of black clothed man. They were approaching the trees in order to be able to make a jump into the palace.
Swish!
The sword in her hand quickly slashed through the first assassin. Relying on the branches, Nan Hua jumped up and followed the other assassins as fast as possible.
Theres a guard!
Kill him!
On it!
Slash!
The assassin didnt even manage to react to Nan Huas speed. She swiftly killed the other assassins before reaching the leader who stood at the very top. The leader was stunned, but he turned around and swung his sword in desperation.
Swish! Slash!
Evading the attack to the side, Nan Hua swung her own sword towards the leaders neck. Blood splattered, tainting her already damp cloth with more blood.
At this moment, Nan Hua was basically covered in blood. There was no time for her to evade the splash because of her upward trajectory.
It stinks.
Standing on top of the tree, Nan Hua could see the view of the palace before her. It was indeed a very good place to sneak inside.
