Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Brother Long?"

"This is sugar." Long Qian Xing beckoned for her to eat it.

Nan Hua looked at the small white ball in front of her and then picked it up before putting it inside her mouth. The sugar immediately melted inside her mouth, filling it with sweetness.

Long Qian Xing smiled when he saw the light within Nan Hua's eyes. He had long realized that this girl was someone with very little expression, so he always paid more attention to her eyes. It seemed that the little girl like the sweet.

"Do you like it?"

"It's sweet."

Traveling Doctor Liu watched their interaction and blinked his eyes. For some reason, he felt so old right now. These two were actually just brats, right? But why did he feel like seeing normal couple's interaction rather than two childish brats?

Little did he know, the soul of both of them were already adults… young adult and adult.

How could they possibly interact with each other as if they were children? It was already hard enough for them to act on daily basis to be able to pass as the 'real' one.

"Be good. I'll be going now." Long Qian Xing smiled. He didn't have much free time and only came here because he wanted to check on Nan Hua. Seeing that she was fine, he felt relieved.

Nan Hua nodded.

Traveling Doctor Liu didn't want to disturb Nan Hua any longer, so he also departed after saying a few more words to her.

Nan Hua finally had some peace, so she read some books that her Master left for her. At dinner, her family members were concerned about her that they nearly forgot about the fact that Feng Qian Shao was about to leave.

The next day, Feng Qian Shao left with Long Qian Xing.

"General Chi and Commander Chi is staying in Wind City for a week or two until General Feng come with the princess from Zhang Xu Kingdom." Nan Luo stretched his hand.

It was then Nan Hua recalled the agreement was about exchanging princess. She had forgotten about this point. The princess from Zhang Xu Kingdom would marry Emperor Yang Zhao as his concubine…

Come to think about it, has Emperor Yang Zhou selected the Empress, yet?

If Nan Hua was not wrong, he hadn't.

Though, she was not sure the reason why.

"Hua'er, you've just recovered, so you should rest more. Don't forget that you can't do any strenuous activities yet." Nan Luo looked at his twin sister worriedly. He didn't want his twin sister to put herself in danger over and over.

It was so devastating to see.

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. She was perfectly fine and it was time for her to pay a visit to Dark Moon Organization, cleaning them up for the preparation to eliminate those spies.

Since some of them were still alive, they would surely try to escape today after the security was lessened. With two generals and several commanders in the city, it was very hard for them to leave.

"Mhm."

Seeing Nan Hua returned to her quarter earlier, Feng Ao Kuai was sure that she was planning something for the night.

"Cousin Ao Kuai, what are you doing there?" Nan Luo was confused.

"It's nothing." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his cousin and wondered whether Nan Luo would figure out Nan Hua's habit sooner or later or not. Nan Hua was not really covering up her action in front of them but those who didn't know her wouldn't know it.

He rubbed his nose, thinking about the matter of the night.

Forget it, he shall continue with his punishment first.

Swish!

In the middle of the night, Nan Hua slipped away. Those who saw her would definitely think that going out from a commander house was as easy as slipping away from an abandoned house. There was not even a single one of the guard who was alarmed from her action.

They didn't even realize that the First Young Miss of Nan Family was no longer in her room.

In the Red District.

Nan San was resting on the main hall. He was the one in charge of this business, so he rarely went out. However, the number of dancers who were attending to him had lessened.

This made him a bit pissed off, but he kept his temper on the outside.

"Mr. Fei, what's the task for today?" Nan San asked the young man who was hiding behind the shadow.

"Eliminate the people from Zhang Xu Kingdom."

"Huh? Why do you even want me to eliminate them?" Nan San was speechless.

Fei Mao didn't even bother to look at Nan San. "This is Miss's order."

"Alright."

Being defeated once, Nan San knew that it wouldn't do him any good to openly go against Nan Hua's order. Thus, all that he could do was to make sure that he followed the order well.

"How many dancers should be left behind this time?"

"Leave enough to serve the customers. The rest should go and start to eliminate everyone on this list."

"Give it to me…." Nan San was stunned when he saw the names on the list. He looked at Fei Mao in disbelief as he stood in front of Nan San. "Are you seriously want us to kill them? We're going to alarm the entire Wind City!"

"Is that a problem?"

Nan San was stumped. Is that a problem? Is that a problem? It was obviously a problem! Their organization was not one to spread their names out!

Also…

"We have a branch in Zhang Xu Kingdom too." Nan San rubbed his forehead.

"We're not making enemies out of them but only eliminating them prior to the large battle." Fei Mao simply looked at Nan San without much interest.

Nan San was speechless.

"If you don't want to, you can leave."

When the cold and somewhat immature voice sounded, Nan San felt his body turned cold. He wanted to turn around and yet at the same time, his body was frozen stiff. Even if he wanted to fight, his body still could remember that painful memory.

Why is she here?
