Astral Flower-Chapter 121: Target Appeared

Those who heard their conversation would think that they were in Twilight City for fun. And those who knew their real intention would feel their lips were twitching at their action.

...

<Monitoring room>

It was precisely what happened in the monitoring room. Nan Hai Yan and another general was watching and the general’s expression turned strange when he watched the monitoring.

If he didn’t know that this was in the middle of the Spring Group Competition, he would think that these two were playing around in Twilight City. Their action looked very natural as if the older brother wanted to bring his younger sister around and introduced all the fun in Twilight City.

Their banter also sounded very natural as if the two friends were just here to have fun.

But if he looked closely, he could see that Long Qian Xing was sweeping his gaze across the room naturally from time to time. It was clear that this young man was also very vigilant while he maintained the funny conversation with Nan Hua.

"Cadet Long Qian Xing is really remarkable." The general sighed.

Nan Hai Yan pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. No matter how much he disapproved of his father’s plan, he had to admit that seeing Nan Hua having fun like this was something that he longed too.

The report stated that Nan Hua had to work hard in that small planet because living was difficult.

Now that she was back in Nan Family, Nan Hai Yan couldn’t wait to give all the best for her. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He wished to make up for the loss of time the two of them had experienced over the years.

And seeing Nan Hua happy was also important.

Even if he might not be the one to bring that smile to her face.

In that case, he will let Nan Hua interact with Long Qian Xing for the time being.

But the complaint still had to be filled.

Hmph!

...

<Virtual World, Twilight City>

Nan Hua held the ice cream in her hand, licking the sweet cream and blinked her eyes. The taste in the Virtual World was very vivid. It was as if she was truly eating ice cream and not something that actually didn’t exist.

It was truly a wonder how technology could achieve this much in such a short period of time.

"Do you like it?" Long Qian Xing asked.

"It’s sweet," Nan Hua replied.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows and nodded. He also bought an ice cream for himself, but if he had to be honest, he didn’t really like sweet food. It was too greasy in his mouth and even though this was not the real food, it still didn’t feel that good for his tongue.

Ding!

There was faint notification sound in his mind.

Lowering his head, Long Qian Xing looked at the information Long Shi Yu sent to their communication channel. It seemed that he had found the other members of the two teams where their targets were located.

Unfortunately, the location of one team was simply too far while the other one was quite nearby.

"So close," Nan Hua muttered.

"It’s indeed very close." Long Qian Xing nodded. "This mall is quite popular."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and looked at the glass in front of her, right behind Long Qian Xing. Even though this was a through glass, there was still reflection that could be seen about things behind her.

From this alone, Nan Hua could determine why Long Qian Xing said that the mall was popular.

There were other teams who were coming here.

"Targeting us?" Nan Hua asked.

"Perhaps." Long Qian Xing chuckled, there was a glint in his eyes.

The second stage could also be said to be the hunter and be hunted competition. Because in this place, they could be become the hunter or become the hunted instead. Of course, they were also allowed to counterattack to eliminate their pursuer.

In this case, they could obtain half of the points.

They could target their pursuer and obtain half of the points. But if they were targeting others, they wouldn’t get any point. Because in this competition, the others didn’t have any relationship with them.

Though, cooperation was also possible.

It was just that Long Qian Xing was not very interested in participating seriously in this competition today.

Nan Hua herself was only here for the sake of participating and showing some of her potential that would allow her to act less. Hiding so much of her strength was really hard and in order to adapt well in the Nan Family, she needed to show more of her abilities.

Even if it might not reach her real abilities, it would be enough for her to show what she was able to do.

This would open up for more possibilities.

Though, there would be more people who were watching her at the same time.

"They’re here." Long Qian Xing’s eyes narrowed when he saw these people were moving from one group to another group who were nearby.

From the way it looked like, they were targeting each other.

But the problem was that Long Qian Xing had no prior knowledge of these two teams and thus couldn’t determine whether they could also target them or not.

After all, they only got the information of their target and not their pursuer.

And previously, each and every single one of them were separated. They didn’t even see the faces of those from team 54 because that team was on the other checkpoint.

When everyone gathered before, they didn’t even know who will pass to the second stage, so there was no time to memorize all 80 teams.

It was also a considerable task for them.

"Get down!" Long Qian Xing warned and quickly moved below the table.

The next moment, there was sound of gunshots followed by screams from the people who were nearby.

It was clear that they were planning on eliminating their target as fast as possible.
