Chapter 1376 Lin Family
It was not easy to maintain the poison’s mist and there will be disciples who were tasked to burn the medicines/poison with fixed time. That way, the poison in the mist would not dissipate.
At most, it would weaken slightly from time to time.
“Don’t get lazy!” An elder looked at the group of disciples who just came back. “Go and study!”
“Yes!”
The disciples all put down their basket and then ran towards one direction. Nan Hua was blending with the others, following them to the library and handed the name’s token to register their attendance.
“Lunch at the middle of the day as usual.” The elder who guarded the library looked at the disciples before returning to read his books.
The disciples from Lin Family all nodded and then walked towards the row of books. They had no intention of disturbing the elder and got punished.
‘Books.’
Nan Hua looked at the various bamboo scrolls and looked at it. She recognized many of them as the same books as the one her master asked her to read. There were also some books that she had only seen for the first time.
The collection was quite vast.
This made her wondered who actually write so many books like this. However, she guessed that many of them would not survive the harsh times and might disappear in the passage of time.

It would be a pity.
There were a lot of valuable information here.
Nan Hua continued to walk deeper and saw that the stairs to the second floor was guarded by an elder. It seemed that if she wanted to go up, she needed to have enough status or something like that.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Since she had no intention to stay in the Lin Family for a long period of time, Nan Hua didn’t go there and instead looked at some other books that she had not read. She started to read the content and learned the few things inside.
Mixing the herbs like this, the effects, and so on.
There were some things that could only be learned by those who were born in Lin Family and it was quite important in the study of poison.
The library was very quiet.
So quiet that Nan Hua wondered whether it was possible for these disciple to relax a bit or not. Looking at it, they were all studying as hard as possible for the sake of their future. Because those at the bottom would only be married away and be used for the sake of Lin Family.
They had no right to say anything in regards of their future.
‘A very stiff atmosphere.’
Rather than saying that these people liked to study, it was more like to say that they were forced to study. Unless they wanted to have their live shackled for their entire life, they will work hard to change it.
They were all young people who had high hopes for their future.
How could they be willing to stay at the bottom?
Unless they had lost all hope, no one would be willing to give up without trying to do something. If they were diligent and talented enough, they would be able to have a chance to get out of this place.
Dong!
“Lunch,” some of the disciples murmured.
Nan Hua followed the disciples to the canteen. Looking at the food in front of her and the fact that they had to take the food they wanted to eat on their own, Nan Hua’s eyes narrowed. She was also very sensitive to smell.
All the food… was poisoned.
It could be said that all the descendant in Lin Family had to live their lives with digesting poison into their body and trained their body to live with it. Even if their own lifespan would be reduced because of it, they didn’t dare to disobey and could only follow.
The amount of the poison here would not kill them as long as they have immunity.
However, they would definitely feel the pain.
Nan Hua watched the food in front of her and silently took a little bit. She herself would not die because of this little amount of poison. Her body had long been conditioned so that she would not be poisoned easily.
After she had finished eating, Nan Hua left.
She was one of the few who left earlier, but the others didn’t seem to care. After all, in this harsh competition location, everyone just wished that they could stand out from others and showed their remarkable result.
Rather than disappearing amongst those who had no place at all.
‘The elder’s location is…’
Nan Hua’s eyes narrowed when she walked closer to the higher area. There was walls covering the area and prevented others from sneaking inside. Some guards could be seen patrolling from time to time.
Should she stay here for a bit longer as Lin Hao?
But Nan Hua knew that these children would go back to their home at night and it was possible for Lin Hao’s parents to notice that she was not their son. After all, there were some small habits that were hard to imitate.
Not to mention, Nan Hua didn’t know Lin Hao that well and only knew some of his information.
In front of the closest people of him, Nan Hua knew that the chance for her to get found out was as high as 50%.
She couldn’t take that chance.
‘In that case, I’ll sneak inside and try to assassinate Lin Sun.’
There were only two highest rank researchers in Lin Family, Lin Sun and Lin Xia. The one who will make the poison was Lin Sun while Lin Xia was researching something else that Nan Hua didn’t know.
Tep!
Sneaking past the guards, Nan Hua entered the inner compound.
Looking at the poison mist in front of her, Nan Hua’s eyes widened slightly. The air in the inner compound was heavier.
‘They’re extracting poison here to prevent any intruder?’
How vicious.
