Chapter 272 – The Lin Family

"I know."

When Nan Hua first come under Traveling Doctor Liu, he had already warned her about that. In fact, it was also the reason why Nan Hua dared to come under him and learned medicine for the past few weeks.

"That\'s good, then." Chen Yuan looked at Nan Hua with her unfocused eyes. Her pupils didn\'t seem to focus at all, making her look strange. In the next moment, she closed her eyes as it was more comfortable for her rather than trying to act as if she still could see.

Whether she closed or open her eyes, it made no difference to her.

"The others might not like Nan Family."

"Due to war?" Nan Hua was not surprised. With her grandfather being the famous general, he must have made a lot of enemies during his youth. It would be impossible for the other disciples not to hate him if they came from a family who participated in war.

Chen Yuan smiled. "Yes."

"If they want to challenge me, I\'ll not shrink away. I just hope they will not involve Master." Nan Hua was calm and composed.

"They will not. Everyone respect Master greatly." Chen Yuan tapped the table. "Senior Brother Yu is around. Do you mind having a small bout with him? He has been anxious since a long time ago."

"I wouldn\'t mind."

"I see. Please do it outside."

"I understand."

Nan Hua walked out of the small hut and walked towards the gate. She knew that her fifth senior brother was watching from a distance and prepared to attack without any intent. It was one of the few methods that she had also learned.

Hide your killing intent.

Those who were sharp would be able to sense it even from a distance away. It was as if they have eyes on their back and would be ready to evade even if it looked like a perfect assassination.

Swish!

For a moment, Nan Hua\'s figure blurred before she appeared two feet away from her original position. A knife landed near the path where she stood before, piercing the ground deeply.

There was no other attack as Nan Hua safely walked out of the area.

Chen Yuan was sitting inside the hut. She didn\'t move from her position until there was a knock behind her. "Senior Brother Yu?"

"It\'s me."

"You two are really similar." Chen Yuan pursed her lips. She relied on her other senses because she couldn\'t see. However, she always failed to detect both Nan Hua and Yu Zheng Xi.

Yu Zheng Xi, the fifth senior brother, pursed his lips. "You know what the Lin Family is planning but you do nothing."

"It\'s not my business." Chen Yuan let out a faint laugh. "I come here to live in peace and not to get involved in political matters. Don\'t force me to participate when I don\'t want to, Senior Brother Yu."

"I won\'t force you. I\'m just surprised you didn\'t tell the others."

"Let fate works." Chen Yuan stood up silently. She faced Yu Zheng Xi as her smile turned brighter. "The only person who I respect will only be Master and Master alone. I have no reason to help you nor the others."

Yu Zheng Xi didn\'t say anything else. He simply turned around and left.

Yes, they were all disciples under Traveling Doctor Liu. However, that identity was not enough for them to forget about their background and who they were. The fact that they all came from different kingdoms, have different belief, and very different from one another will never change.

…

Bang!

"I said that I don\'t know." Lin Qiang looked at her husband with teary face. Her makeup was a mess and she looked ugly, but she didn\'t care in the slightest bit. What she was worried about was that her husband didn\'t trust her.

Feng Qian Bo looked at his wife and felt exhausted. His brother, his father, and many others were all waiting for answer. The fact that they were able to imitate the badge so exquisitely told him that there might be something else behind this.

But he didn\'t know what it was.

"Qiang\'er… then can you please tell me where you come from?"

"I come from a village." Lin Qiang pursed her lips. "I can\'t remember very clearly what happened before I live there. I\'m saying the truth."

"This…"

Feng Qian Bo tried a few more times but all the answer was negative. Lin Qiang truly didn\'t know anything and didn\'t seem to be able to provide any useful information.

Outside the room, Feng Ao Kuai was listening while leaning on the wall. They had already inspected the servants but didn\'t find anything useful. The two servants were not behaving strangely and only did their work as usual.

Beside him, Nan Luo was playing with the badge.

"This is not going well." Feng Ao Si walked in their direction. "There are two more servants that we found lead to but they committed suicide."

Feng Ao Kuai was not surprised. When he found out that servant yesterday, it was because Nan Hua pointed in that direction secretly. He then noticed the servant was trying to get away, so he made a move.

These servants all preferred death than leaking out the information.

Why?

Nan Luo pursed his lips. "Is there even any Lin Family in Fei Yang Kingdom? From what I know there\'s none at all."

He didn\'t mean that there was no household with surname Lin. What he was talking about was the fact that there was no powerful family with surname Lin in Fei Yang Kingdom.

Feng Ao Kuai was silent for a moment. "There\'s a powerful Lin Family."

"Where?"

"Not here." Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Luo. "In Zhang Xu Kingdom\'s north area, there\'s Lin Family."

Zhang Xu Kingdom\'s north area?

Both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si wore blank look.. Zhang Xu Kingdom itself was located at the north of Fei Yang Kingdom. If it was at the north of Zhang Xu Kingdom, wouldn\'t it be very far away from where they were located at?
