989 Opposite Side
“You should have guessed it, Senior Sister Chen.”
“With how long you have known; you can actually stop it.”
“You haven’t done anything back then and even if there’s a possibility, it hadn’t happened yet.”
Chen Yuan chuckled when she heard Nan Hua’s answer. “For someone like you to trust your heart more than your rationality…. I don’t know whether I should be thankful for Master or feel sad for the other people who will suffer from our decision.”
Nan Hua looked at Chen Yuan without any ripples in her eyes. “My hand has always been stained with blood and it’ll never change.”
She’s an assassin.
The number of people who had died in her hand was uncountable. From using simple assassination missions, to bombing and even using mass destruction weapon, Nan Hua knew that she had killed millions of people.
In this world, the number of people she had killed be it directly or indirectly was also numerous.
Being an assassin, leader of an organization, and also part of the military, Nan Hua had already killed a lot of people. It was to the point that she felt numb when she saw unrelated people dying in front of her.
.....
“Whether they live or die, it’s their destiny.” Chen Yuan glanced at Nan Hua. Her eyes were unable to see anything, yet it seemed to be able to see through things. “My hands had been stained with blood and I wish to wash it by becoming a proper doctor. But as I had expected, it’s not possible.”
Nan Hua didn’t know what had happened to Chen Yuan in her childhood. She had begun gathering intel from various parts in Zhang Xu Kingdom, but many hadn’t reached her yet. Su Bai’s position in Zhang Xu Kingdom was not that stable yet to slip on the information.
But even if she didn’t know, she could guess.
The song that Chen Yuan played to her back then had told her part of Chen Yuan’s life story. The story of how a little girl who used to live happily was forced to face the harsh reality of the world.
“You care for Nan Family. I care for my brother.” Chen Yuan slowly stood up. She smiled faintly. “Farewell, Hua’er.”
They couldn’t be teacher and disciple anymore.
They couldn’t even be normal senior sister and junior sister.
Nan Hua could guess that what Chen Yuan wanted was revenge for her brother. Even though she felt that the relationship between Chen Yuan and her brother was not simple, she didn’t want to interfere in Chen Yuan’s decision.
They had their own life and their own path.
It was just unfortunate that after their path crossed each other, now their path was blocking each other.
“Farewell, Sister Chen.”
The two young women looked at each other before they left one by one. Chen Yuan left from the backdoor while Nan Hua left from the front door. They wouldn’t kill each other as they couldn’t do it.
But it didn’t mean that the people under them wouldn’t fight against each other.
