Chapter 948: If and Only If

*rustle*         

"Could you please spare him?"     

"Why?"     

"He\'s Mu Fang, my cousin."     

Nan Hua looked at the youth in front of her and withdrew her sword. She never knew the full list of people who were actually inside this organization. In fact, she only knew that they were children of nobles, but she didn\'t know which one.     

And with the Capital City so chaotic back then, there was simply no way for her to find out about this matter back then. She was busy to take care of other more important things.     

"Thank you."     

Mu Sheng Xi quickly came forward and looked at his cousin. He wanted to touch the other part, but Nan Hua raised her sword to block it.     

"He\'s only knocked out, but once he regained consciousness, he\'ll start to attack you again," Nan Hua reminded in a cold tone.     

"That\'s…" Mu Sheng Xi looked at the youth in front of him and gritted his teeth. "Tie him up and bring him back."     

"Yes, Young Commander Mu!"     

Nan Luo watched as the soldiers began to work before returning to the camp. He had heard about what happened to the Mu Family, but he never expected things to turn this way.     

The Mu Family was destroyed.     

That was a fact.     

But not everyone was killed from that incident. He knew that there were two small families aside from General Mu\'s family who were spared. How they fared afterwards was not something he knew.     

All that he knew was that they were still alive and probably living in the Capital City. But now that he had seen this, he thought that there must be someone who had escaped from the execution back then.     

"Which family is Mu Fang come from?" Nan Luo pondered aloud.     

Nan Hua turned to look at Nan Luo and then replied, "He\'s from the third family, who\'s also spared aside from the fourth family."     

The fourth family was Mu Fei Jiu\'s father\'s family. From what Nan Hua knew, Mu Fei Jiu might have not finished dealing with the Mu Family because the third family was spared back then. She was still taking her revenge against them.     

Looking at Mu Fang, Nan Hua could guess that Mu Fei Jiu might have been the one who pushed the youth to be in this state.     

"Nan?" Nan Luo noticed that Nan Hua\'s gaze seemed strange.     

"For these children to be able to become a doll, they had to show their resolve first." Nan Hua turned to look at Nan Luo. "And to show that resolve, they have to kill the person closest to them."     

Nan Luo could feel chills on his back when he heard Nan Hua\'s words.     

He thought that these youngsters were simply forced or taken away. But from the way Nan Hua said it, these people would have to pass the test first before they were taken to the location?         

"Wha…?"     

"That\'s to ensure that they can survive the test for a long time." Nan Hua didn\'t know the exact detail and only the report after everything was done from what she had read. The details were completely omitted because Long Qian Xing was not participating directly in this matter.     

He was still at Wei Da Kingdom\'s territory to defend against Wei Da Kingdom\'s soldiers who wanted to take their territory back.     

This matter was handed to Mu Sheng Xi.     

"That\'s terrifying." Nan Luo frowned. He looked at Mu Fang and came to a realization. "If he has to kill the person closest to him, what happen to the third Mu Family?"     

"I don\'t know."     

Nan Hua didn\'t keep tabs of the third Mu Family. She could send people to inquire, but she had the feeling that even if she didn\'t do that, she knew their fates. Even if there was still someone who was still alive from their family, their condition was barely enough for them to sustain for living.     

It would be a miserable life for them.     

Mu Fei Jiu is cruel to her enemies because she didn\'t want them to have any chance to hit her again in the future.     

Their life would be very bad.     

Nan Luo didn\'t say anything else.     

When they returned to the camp, they quickly divided the work. Nan Hua ordered Nan Luo\'s soldiers to help her searching for herbs to treat the poisoned soldiers. Not all of them could be saved but most of them only ingested a small amount.     

They were still treatable.     

Nan Luo himself was busying himself to help Nan Hua while observing the soldiers who were working. If they dared to laze around, he would make sure that he punished them hard enough.     

At the same time, Feng Ao Si was building tent and also basic defense tools for them to stay for the night. He and his soldiers were working hard to make sure that they built enough for everyone.     

There were a lot of soldiers there.     

Feng Ao Kuai helped to treat the injured and when Nan Hua was done with the antidote, he helped to deliver them.     

Mu Sheng Xi\'s soldiers were guarding and scouting the area to make sure that they were save. Since his soldiers were numbered the most, more than half of them were staying in the camp to guard in turns. While they were not working, they would be resting for a while.     

They wouldn\'t dare to relax too much as they had just been ambushed.     

The work arrangement helped them to finish everything quickly.     

"It\'s done for the time being." Nan Luo stretched his hand. "Where\'s Young Commander Mu?"     

"He\'s staying with his cousin brother." Feng Ao Kuai wiped his hand that was dirty with blood. He also helped to treat the injured, which was why he was also quite tired. "I have given the antidote, but it didn\'t work too well."
