353: The Real Headquarter

The Real Headquarter

In the middle of the journey, Fei Mao couldn't stand it any longer.2

"Miss, can't we use torch?"

"If you want to be attacked, you can use it." Nan Hua was calm.

Attacked?

Fei Mao was dumbfounded.

On the other hand, Nan Hua had long noticed that there were a lot of bats over here. They were most likely the type that would get attracted by light, thus they didn't use any torch in this place when they were walking.

There was also a rope that could be used to guide them, so they didn't really need any torch here.

The journey only took half an hour but for Fei Mao, it was extreme hell. He really didn't wish to enter any dark and narrow place anymore in the future. It was already more than enough that he was tortured by Nan Hua when he was bypassing the cave.

"There's light."

"We're here." Si Mo Fan didn't seem to be surprised to see Fei Mao's reaction. In fact, most of the new members who came here for the first time would be like him. They would be eager to see the light once more.

He turned his head to look at Nan Hua and Nan Si. The two of them were still silent and walked in unhurried pace. There was no impatience nor eagerness. It was as if they were simply walking in an ordinary road.

Looking at these two, Si Mo Fan only sighed.

They seemed as if they were living in the darkness and thus, they have no qualms for anything.

As they walked out of the cave, Nan Hua looked at the valley before her. The cave was going down, so she could guess that this was rather lower than the area when they entered before. But what she saw still surprised her greatly.

The forest was very rich and there were a lot of houses placed in the steep hills. The way it was making use of the rocks and the foundation there to make the building was amazing. Many of them were sticking and seemed to be flying, but it was also stable enough to let the building stand there and not moving.

There were many people who said that there were cities at the edge of mountains with countless pictures depicted that.

However, it was only now that Nan Hua knew that the drawing was the truth. Not only that, those drawings definitely couldn't compare to the real thing that she was seeing now. The houses were going down until it reached the valley below that was covered in mist.

It looked beautiful and mysterious.

"Ah Bai?"

Nan Hua blinked her eyes when she heard the call. It was only now she was paying attention to the young man's name. For a moment, a wall in white color appeared inside her mind.

Did they not think this name too feminine for a boy?

(Bai = white)

Si Bai's lips twitched when he heard his mother calling. He looked at his mother helplessly. "Mother, didn't I tell you not to call me like that?"

At this moment, a woman was walking towards them from the wooden road at the side of the mountain. She was dressed in light green dress with a basket in her hand. Her pale brown eyes looked in her son's direction with gentleness. But when she saw the others who came with her son and husband, her eyes looked sharper.

"Mo Fan, this is?"

"This is Miss Hua. She's Traveling Doctor Liu apprentice. I asked her to come here to check on you." Si Mo Fan looked at the woman helplessly.

The woman, Yan Xi, was feeling a bit displeased by her husband's sudden decision, but she still nodded her head. She looked at Nan Hua and beckoned for her to follow her. "In that case, shall we go back?"

"There's no need." Nan Hua looked into the distance. It was night time, but she could guess that she didn't have much time to stay here anymore. "I can't stay here for long and I only need to check your pulse, Madam Yan."

Madam Yan?

The others all looked at Nan Hua in surprise. Si Mo Fan hadn't even introduced his wife's name yet and Nan Hua had already known her name? How in the world she did that?

Yan Xi looked at Nan Hua then glanced at her husband. Seeing her husband nodding his head, she stepped forward and stretched her hand out. Truth to be told, she didn't know what was wrong with her because it was only recently that she felt a bit unwell and unable to do anything properly.

The doctor in this place didn't know what was wrong with her, so her husband has been anxious.

Nan Hua stretched her hand and pressed on Yan Xi's wrist. Her dark obsidian eyes flashed for a moment. No wonder that her master failed to save her when he came a few years later. At that time, it was indeed too late.

"Miss Hua?"

"I don't have enough time to prescribe medicine now." Nan Hua then turned to look at Si Mo Fan. "Do you really want me to say it here?"

Si Mo Fan could see from Nan Hua's eyes that the matter was not simple at all. He broke a branch at the side. "Write it on the ground."

Nan Hua arched her eyebrows and only wrote one word on the ground:

Poison.

The moment Si Mo Fan read that, he nearly burst out of rage. His wife had always stayed in this valley with very little access to the outside world. With the cause of her sickness being poison, didn't it mean that there was a traitor close to them.

Beside Si Mo Fan, Si Bai's face turned ashen. "How do you know?"

"It's up to you whether to believe it or not." Nan Hua was not worried. When her master came here, he would definitely come into the same conclusion. She looked at the row of buildings with pity. If only it was possible, she wanted to stay here for a bit longer.

"I'll come back later. Settle this matter first."
