Chapter 953 Attacks at Dawn


    Nan Luo pushed those unreasonable thoughts to the back of his mind. When he was young, he would have never thought about this. But as they grew up, he could deeply feel this sense of unwillingness within him.


    But he also understood that time couldn''t stop.


    He would have to grow up and be on his own.


    After mulling for a bit more, Nan Luo then fell into deep sleep.


    The night was quiet.


    Tep.


    Nan Hua opened her eyes. It was still dark, but she could sense based on the temperature that it was already morning. Sun will rise soon enough, illuminating everything on its pathway.


    ''There''s someone.''


    Her instinct had been honed ever since she was young. Being in the condition where dangers were everywhere, there was never a time where she truly rxed. Even when she was sleeping, her body was still paying attention to her surroundings and its change.


    The slightest bit of noise that was deemed to be unusual would wake her up.


    Nan Hua stretched her hand and shook her twin brother''s body.


    "Luo."


    Nan Luo opened his eyes and frowned. He could hear the warning in Nan Hua''s tone and realized that there must be an intruder. Groaning internally, Nan Luo swiftly took his sword and then walked to the door.


    His eyes watched the corridor.


    Swish!


    The faint movement from the window prompted Nan Hua to leapt. She stretched her hand and grabbed the other party''s hand before mming him to the ground.


    Bang!


    The loud sound naturally rmed the others.


    At the same time, Nan Hua sensed another person was rushing towards the window. Her body moved swiftly and took out her sword, knocking the person in front of her easily.


    Thud!


    While Nan Hua was dealing with the two intruders from the window, Nan Luo tackled the person who was about to rush in from the door. He kicked the other party and pulled his arm, knocking the sword to the ground.


    "A child?" Nan Luo asked in surprise.


    The person whom he attacked was smaller than him, so he guessed that he must have been a child. Well, at most, he would be a young man just like Nan Luo.


    "More dolls."


    Nan Hua checked their pulses and shook her head. When these people were given the order to attack, the one who gave order must have known that they wouldn''t be able to live for long.


    The most they could live was only an incense stick of time.


    Even if they survived and given some medicines, it could only prolong by a few more incense sticks and then they would die.


    The cost of the medicines was even more expensive.


    And at this condition, it was impossible to interrogate these children because they would never be able to give any good information. At most, they would only be able to utter some nonsenses.


    "They''re already at theter stages?" Nan Luo asked as he dragged the young man he knocked out. He lit up the candle so that they could get more lights before it was sunrise.


    "Yes."


    "That''s too bad."


    Nan Luo could only watch as Nan Hua checked the second person and eventually killed him. If Nan Hua didn''t do anything, they would suffer because of the drawbacks from the drugs.


    Which one was better, Nan Luo himself didn''t know.


    *Drap* *drap* *drap*


    "Luo! Are you alright?"


    "I''m fine." Nan Luo turned around and saw Feng Ao Si. He blinked his eyes when he saw that Feng Ao Si was drenched in mud. Just what in the world did his cousin do to make him look like a mess?


    Before long, Feng Ao Kuai came while dragging a body behind him. He looked at his older brother and looked like he was so tired. "Brother, I think it''ll be better if you don''t destroy the wall whenever you go."


    "I… I only use a bit too much strength." Feng Ao Si flushed.


    Nan Luo was speechless.


    He looked outside and guessed that Feng Ao Si must have fallen onto the garden outside. As for why he was filled with mud… the servants must have just watered the garden or there was a bucket of water that Feng Ao Si knocked.


    "Luo."


    "Yes?" Nan Luo turned his head when he heard Nan Hua calling.


    Nan Hua took out several needles and pointed at the youth who attacked Nan Luo. "He hadn''t been using the drugs for a long period of time. I can suppress it a bit, but he''ll still suffer from the withdrawal symptoms."


    "Uh… can you speak clearer?" Feng Ao Si was confused.


    "In other words, we can interrogate him when he wakes upter. I don''t think I''m that patient, let me pick a bucket of water."


    While Nan Luo was busy to pick up a bucket of water, Nan Hua fed some medicine to the boy and used acupuncture to help him a bit.


    Before long, Mu Sheng Xi also came.


    Of course, Feng Ao Si was dragged by Dai to wash up. His current appearance was so shocking that everyone would definitely look in his direction. And after that… *cough*


    "Will this seed?" Mu Sheng Xi asked.


    "We can try." Nan Luo grinned. In any case, they didn''t have any other choice but to try this.


    Ssh!


    Sshing water on top of the youth, the youth immediately wake up. He was tied on a chair and struggled a bit as he coughed the water.


    He looked at the people in front of him with frown.


    His head was dizzy and there was some kind of desire to sleep. For some reason, he felt really tired.


    "Who… are… you?"


    "He can speak a proper sentence." Feng Ao Si was amazed. He didn''t want to miss this out, so he came even when his hair was still wet and dripping. Behind him, Dai was doing his best to make Feng Ao Si looked presentable, yet he felt utterly helpless.


    "I''m Young Commander Mu," Mu Sheng Xi started. "Can you introduce yourself?"
