He had heard about Adjutant Nan a lot from his subordinates. And after knowing about Nan Hua\'s identity, he asked them to investigate what they could know about this adjutant behavior and so on.

There was many information about Nan that Long Qian Xing didn\'t pay close attention before. In the past, he only thought that Nan was a body double and bodyguard that Old Master Nan arranged to protect Nan Luo.

Out of respect, he didn\'t investigate much.

After all, many of his men also came from various background and it was not easy for him to investigate other people\'s background. Especially in this era where it was human\'s words that held the highest position.

Who knew whether there will be lies?

It was harder to detect.

But from the information gathered, he found a few points about Nan Hua that he never thought before.

Knowing that Nan Hua often disappeared without telling anyone, he guessed that she would be leaving today. She had told him about her itinerary before, but she was not very clear about the time.

Long Qian Xing could only infer based on the information that he had gathered.

Because of that, he told his soldiers to prepare for their departure and waited here.

And after he came, he noticed the man who came out with bag and horse yet not leaving. It seemed that the man was waiting for someone else and Long Qian Xing guessed that he might be waiting for Nan Hua.

\'That man…\'

The way a person walked often revealed many things.

For those who were keen enough, they would be able to see that those who had high martial arts also learned how to conceal their footsteps\' sound. They would move without alerting their enemies.

But aside from those with high martial arts, those who learnt how to conceal their footsteps were assassins.

As his thought reached this way, he could remember that Nan Hua\'s sense of presence, footsteps, breathing, and behavior was more in line with that of an assassin. Rather than a martial artist, she gave off the presence that she was not a threat yet could be a threat if she wanted to.

High level concealment that was far above him.

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua deeply. He felt that the more he thought about it, the more things he found out about Nan Hua. In the past, he never thought too much and saw Nan Hua through the layered glass he gave himself.

He thought of her as a soft and little bunny.

But this little bunny was actually very fierce behind his back without him realizing anything and completely concealed everything from him.

With his high martial arts and the people who worked for him everywhere, it was not an easy task for Nan Hua to hide so many things from him. It was as if she knew who his men were and his behavior so keenly that she could hide many things.

A level of understanding that was far beyond their brief meetings could possibly give.

The more he knew Nan Hua, the more intriguing things became.

But no matter what, Long Qian Xing knew that it would not change the fact that she\'s Nan Hua, his little fiancée and also the heartless little girl who had her own goal and ambition. He didn\'t know when he started caring for her more, but he would not back away from his feelings.

At this moment, Nan Hua noticed his gaze and looked at him with questioning within her black obsidian pupil.

Long Qian Xing flashed a smile and then looked away.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes, feeling that Long Qian Xing was acting strange today. She didn\'t think that she had said anything weird to him, so what happened to him?

After a while, Nan Hua chose to put the matter to the back of her mind. There was no point dwelling on it.

…

The journey could be said to be relaxing. It was so much that the soldiers rarely felt that their commander was quite humane this time. Usually, they would have to go at the fastest speed possible, making a few new soldiers vomited because of the long exercise.

This time, they didn\'t feel that tired.

What they didn\'t know was that Long Qian Xing was enjoying the rare company of his little fiancée. It was rare for her to come, so when she did come, how could he not try to extend the time a bit more?

Though, he didn\'t dare to delay that much and only used a somewhat normal pace to go. After all, there were still military matters that he had to finish.

"Do you like to travel on your own, Adjutant Nan?" Long Qian Xing asked after their short lunch, which was only to stop for a while and take out their ration. It was not exactly a luxurious meal, but it was enough to fill their stomach.

They would only stop and cook when it was night time. Everyone in the army was already familiar with this arrangement.

"It\'s normal." Nan Hua was not used to be with other people.

It was mostly because of her bad experience when traveling with her so called comrades in her past life. Everyone wanted the merit for themselves so that they would be allowed to live longer even though many of them didn\'t even know why they still persisted.

There were even times when they break down during mission and had to be left behind to die or they would drag the others down. Everyone was selfish and only cared for themselves and the mission\'s completion.

If the mission was not completed, they couldn\'t return or they would be punished with death.

If their so called comrades fell, they would not care in the slightest bit.

That was the previous relationship that Nan Hua had with others. There were no one who could be trusted nor treated with real sincerity.
