nNan Luo turned his head around but he couldn't see anything. Just as he was about to ask again, Old Master Nan had already spoke out.

n

"You can come out, Hou Lin.

"

n

"Yes, Master.

"

nSwish!

nA figure, completely dressed in black appeared next to Old Master Nan. He didn't emit any presence, to the point that even if one were to stand before him, they wouldn't even notice him.

nNan Luo's eyes widened. He then turned to look at Hou Liang.

"Hou Liang, why is your brother look so different?

"

nHou Liang:

"…

" is that the point?

nThe two of them did look quite different. Hou Liang looked fierce and his build was that of the large one. It could be said that he completely looked like a big soldier with fierce temperament.

nOn the other hand, Hou Lin's built was very slender. He was also a bit shorter and seemed to be the type that would not be noticed even if he were to walk around. They couldn't see his face, though, but their assumption was that the two of them would look very different.

nOld Master Nan looked at his granddaughter.

"Hua'er, you can sense him?

"

n

"Yes, isn't he always stay near you, Grandfather?

" Nan Hua replied back. Her pitch black eyes were staring back without any ounce of fear.

nFor the past few weeks, Old Master Nan felt that he didn't know his granddaughter at all. At first, he thought that she was a good girl, who's very obedient. She might be quiet, but that only made one wanted to pamper her even more.

nBut now that he saw her talent, he felt that he had been neglecting his granddaughter too much in the past.

nHou Lin might look like an ordinary person, but he was a person Old Master Nan had trained specifically to do covert business. With Hou Lin's presence erasing skill, it was hard for even a master of martial art to detect him.

nAnd yet, his granddaughter knew.

nShe always stared straight at the location where Hou Lin was even though Hou Lin moved several times before he called him out.

nOld Master Nan sighed.

"Why do you want to learn from him?

"

n

"Because I want to be stronger but I won't be able to use swords in front of others.

" Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

nIt was true. Seeing a young girl carrying sword would be highly eye catching. Not to mention, she might attract trouble from the high class society that always seemed to try to keep up their appearances and so on.

n

"What weapon do you want?

" Old Master Nan asked after a while.

n

"Needles.

"

nNeedles?

nNan Luo blinked his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Do you want to become a doctor, Hua'er?

"

n

"Those who can use needles are not only doctors, Luo.

" Nan Hua turned to look at her twin brother and said softly.

n

"Really?

"

n

"Yes.

"

nOld Master Nan was silent for some time as he watched the two of them. He naturally wished for the twins to be happy. At first, he was thinking of grooming Nan Hua to become a female general but her words from today…

n

"If that's what you want, then I'll prepare needles for you! You can even pick many sizes!

"

n

"Thank you, Grandfather.

"

n

"Silly girl, why do you thank me? I'm your grandfather, so you don't have to be so polite.

" Old Master Nan couldn't help it but lightly poked Nan Hua's forehead tenderly. Even though he knew that she was training martial arts, he was always being so careful around her as if he was treating a precious vase.

nOf course, if it was Nan Luo, he would already be sent for a beating.

n

"Mhm.

" Nan Hua nodded slowly. She didn't know why but she felt warm when her grandfather cared for her like this. It was strange.

n

"Since Hua'er ask for needles, can I ask for dagger?

" Nan Luo then shamelessly change the conversation.

n

"You brat! Didn't you say that you'll accept whatever I give you?

"

n

"Ah! I don't want more training,

" Nan Luo wailed in agony.. Any present but training was fine! He already felt like dying from the training that Old Master Nan gave to him.
