“Your past built the present you, but it shouldn’t be a shackle for your future.” A peerless assassin, codename Hua, received her last big mission after nearly died in an avalanche. Everyone knew that the Nan Family had a long missing daughter who only recently returned. She was raised in the village and didn’t have common sense of the nobility daughter, inviting mockery all over the Green Planet. Hearing various jokes about this daughter, they only shook their head and feel that she was not worthy of the Nan Family. However… Those who bullied her were bullied back by others suddenly. Those who wanted to hurt her suddenly got oppressed. Those who tried to harm her fell unlucky and got hurt instead. Nan Hua watched this all with an innocent look. They didn’t know that the one who put them in this predicament is precisely the unsightly young miss they looked down upon. Everything was doing well, but why did her supposed indifferent fiancé paid so much attention to her? Shouldn’t he just focus on the examination and his career in the military? A while later, Nan Hua saw Long Qian Xing staring at her gently and smiled back. ... Story set in fictional world with some advanced technology.

Brat

<Ding!>

<Your information had been updated. Thank you for participating in the examination, Miss Nan Hua. Please take care.>

After the sentence was given, Nan Hua was teleported out. There were many others who were also doing their examinations. When they got out, some were dejected, some were excited, some were indifferent.

Among these many people, Nan Hua didn't stand out at all.

She walked to the front of the hall and saw Long Qian Xing, who was waiting there and called out, "Young Master Long."

"You're done?" Long Qian Xing raised his head and smiled faintly. "How's your result, Young Miss Nan?"

"I reached 1-6," Nan Hua replied and showed a bright smile as if she was happy and delighted with this result.

Long Qian Xing was surprised, but it was quite rational. After all, there was no way Nan Hua grew up from baby to be 17 years old without any improvement in her mental strength. Even if she was living in the village without proper training meditation method, her mental strength will also grow passively.

"Congratulation. You're amazing, Young Miss Nan."

Nan Hua nodded happily. "Thank you, Young Master Long."

"Shall we continue training?"

"Yes."

Long Qian Xing thought of Nan Hua's result and felt that it was quite good. Nan Hua's improvement when learning under him yesterday was quite fast and 1-6 was already far above the rank of ordinary people.

Even for the soldiers, having such high mental strength was also something that was envied.

Not all soldiers had such high mental strength.

"Mental strength can be strengthened through three methods." Long Qian Xing walked with Nan Hua while explaining, "The first method is through meditating and following the method that had been taught. There are many meditation methods and Nan Family should have the exclusive one for you that's better than the one widely circulated.

The second method is to let it grow on its own through your life. When one grew older, their mental strength will also grow stronger. This in turn will allow them to be able to adapt to the world. You can say that they're growing up.

The third method is to forcefully grow the mental strength. The method to forcefully grow it varied, but it's wildly accepted to the purposely advanced and accidentally advanced."

Long Qian Xing paused when he reached this point. "There are some medicines that can be used but they're mostly illegal."

Because forcefully strengthening one's mental strength will cause some irreversible effects on them and might even cause deaths in some worst case scenario.

Thus, the use of the medicine had been banned.

"I know, Young Master Long."

"Remember not to forcefully raise your mental strength. Your mental strength growth is already very good," Long Qian Xing reminded once again.

"Yes."

"Good. Now, I'll continue to teach you the method…"

The day passed by quietly with Nan Hua practicing with Long Qian Xing. The two parted peacefully and promised to meet each other again tomorrow.

When Long Qian Xing came out of his cabin, his face turned black when he saw his grandfather was waiting for him.

"Grandfather, this is my room."

"I know." Old Master Long looked at his grandson leisurely.

Long Qian Xing felt headache. "Why are you here?"

"I want to know how your progress with that girl from the Nan Family is. Your mother is already thinking of arranging some blind dates if you're not satisfied with her."

Long Qian Xing's expression sank when he heard his grandfather's words. Thinking about his mother, he felt more headache because he really couldn't do anything about her. He always felt that dealing with women were very tiring, especially his mother.

Because his mother truly cared for him, Long Qian Xing really couldn't bear to go against his mother so openly and forcefully.

"I'm only 21 years old and aren't you talking about the baby kiss something?" Long Qian Xing sneered.

Old Master Long shrugged. "Ask your mother."

Long Qian Xing was irritated. "I'm just teaching her for the second time. There's nothing special."

"…You really only teach her?"

"What do you think I'll do?" Long Qian Xing looked at Old Master Long and rolled his eyes. He didn't have interest to touch an underage girl, got it?

Old Master Long snorted. "I thought that you'll like her and…"

"Grandfather, I'm still very tired after the two assassination…"

"You damn brat! Go to sleep!" Old Master Long felt that his grandson was truly trying out his patience.

Knowing that the two assassinations had touched his bottom line, Long Qian Xing just had to mention this matter.

What an annoying brat.

Walking out of Long Qian Xing's room, Old Master Long snorted slightly. While Long Qian Xing didn't tell him anything, but he could guess that Long Qian Xing was not completely indifferent to Nan Hua.

He knew his grandson well.

For those whom Long Qian Xing didn't care about, Long Qian Xing would not even bother to spare another glance on them.

While Nan Hua's position might be only good impression on Long Qian Xing, at the very least, it was still something.

But how it would develop in the future was something that Old Master Long didn't know.

Only time will tell.
