Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua then looked at the four assassins as she thought about what she was going to do with them. Keeping them in the residence was naturally out of the question. It was too troublesome to keep them here.

"Do you want to live or die?"

The assassin was stunned. He looked at Nan Hua with his brows furrowed. "What do you want us to do?"

The assassin in front of her was quite smart.

"What's your name?"

"Fei Mao."

Nan Hua nodded. "I want you to show me around your branch place in the future."

Fei Mao, the assassin in front of Nan Hua, was stunned. He looked at the girl in front of her but couldn't discern anything from Nan Hua's indifferent expression. "Dark Moon Organization is not to be taken lightly… Miss."

"I can handle them." Nan Hua was not worried. She looked at Fei Mao. "Return to Dark Moon Organization's branch and stay there. Do some simple missions. I'll contact you when I visit Heng Xing City in the future."

But that future would need for her to wait for Old Master Nan's return and for her to settle some other matters first.

Fei Mao was silent for a moment before he nodded. "I understand."

Nan Hua took a pouch with her left hand. "I already divided the portion inside for a year's time. You can drink it once a month when you start to feel pain in your heart."

In his heart?

Right now, Fei Mao started to feel terrified of Nan Hua but he still took the medicine that Nan Hua gave to him. He really wondered what kind of medicine that Nan Hua gave to him.

"One more thing, visit Su Yu Po and do to him what he asks you to do."

"Yes."

Hou Lin watched as Nan Hua turned the assassin into her allies in a matter of few sentences and felt a bit speechless. He wondered what Old Master Nan would say when the old man returned later when he found out that Nan Hua had started to rope the people around her to work for her.

And the person she recruited was actually the assassin who tried to kill her.

He felt that Nan Hua really have weird interest in terms of people whom she recruited. First, she picked that pitiful official who had no prospect. Now, she picked an assassin whom he could beat up easily.

"How about the other three?" Fei Mao asked.

Nan Hua turned to look at the three assassins and shook her head. "They're worse than you."

Fei Mao: "…" should I be glad that my skills are better than my teammates or sad because it made me the prime target?

"Miss, could you… allow them to live?" Fei Mao asked tentatively.

Looking at Fei Mao, Nan Hua pointed to the pouch she had given to him. "You can arrange it in accordance to what you want. I give you 36 doses."

36 doses meant three years if he only ate it by himself. But if he shared it with his teammates, they would only last for 9 months at most. The decision was ultimately his.

"You can leave."

Nan Hua's left hand moved and retrieved the needles she used to stab Fei Mao. She glanced at Hou Lin, who retrieved the needles from the other three assassins. Now that they had seen Nan Hua's capabilities, not a single one of them wanted to stay in this place any longer.

Swish!

Whether they would target Su Yu Po was unknown but Nan Hua was not worried in the slightest bit. She knew that she would hear the news tomorrow at the latest.

"Hua'er is so amazing! You have to teach me medicine too!" Nan Luo asked excitedly.

Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo. "Pass your identification class first."

Nan Luo: "…"

It was then Nan Luo recalled that he hadn't passed the herbs identification class that Old Master Nan set up for them in order to recognize poisonous plants and also the edibles one. Since Nan Luo had hated studying, he didn't manage to pass the class and still had a lot to memorize.

On the other hand, Nan Hua only encountered some new herbs while she was already familiar with the others. She had long passed the class and didn't need to study it anymore.

"Fine…." Nan Luo sulked.

Hou Lin looked at the two's interaction. Hou Liang was following Old Master Nan while he stayed here to protect the two of them. Though, from the way it looked like, they didn't need his protection in the slightest bit.

"Young Miss, now that there's no more danger, you should treat your hand."

"Ah, yeah." Nan Hua raised her right hand. She had been clenching her right hand into a fist for some time. The moment she opened her hand, one would be able to see blood seeped out from her thumbs and index fingers. The cause was obviously the hole that was piercing the fingers.

"Ah? You're wounded? I'll get some medicine!" Nan Luo was stunned and he quickly grabbed the medicine from the table. There was more than enough medicine to stop bleeding and also some bandages.

"I'm fine."

"Why didn't you say anything?" Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua's hand and felt his heart ached terribly. How come Nan Hua didn't say anything when it was this bad.

Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo. "I need to bluff the assassins."

If she showed that she was wounded or weak, the assassins would take it as the signal for them to be able to take advantage of the two children. As long as she showed the image that she was not someone they could mess with, they would certainly not try to attack her nor Nan Luo anymore.

With her current strength, fighting against three adults was unrealistic. Thus, she chose to use physiological warfare where she dealt with them swiftly. However, her fingers couldn't really withstand the force, thus she ended up wounding her own fingers to the point of bleeding.

"You… Hou Lin can protect us!" Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows as he applied the herbs to Nan Hua's hand.

Nan Hua merely passed a glance at Hou Lin but didn't say anything else.

Hou Lin knew that Nan Hua was trying to form an image that she was not someone whom those assassins could deal with. From the way it looked like, Nan Hua seemed to have the intention to take over Dark Moon Organization.

'But Dark Moon Organization is not a small organization.'

Sensing the indifferent gaze on Nan Hua's face, Hou Lin chose not to interfere. If that was what Nan Hua wanted, he would watch and gave help when it was necessary.

"Is it hurt?"

"No."

"You're lying." Nan Luo glared at Nan Hua.

Nan Hua looked back at Nan Luo and then to her hand. She did feel the pain but such pain was nothing in her opinion. After countless times being put at the position between live and death, she never paid much attention to the so called pain anymore. What she cared the most was whether she could still use it or not.

As long as she could still use her hand, was it matter if there was some pain?

She could simply treat it later when the battle was over and there was no immediate danger.

"It's fine."

Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua's indifferent look and couldn't say anything else. He only felt his vision turned blurry as he held Nan Hua's hand. "Don't… just say that it's fine when it's hurt, alright?"

"It's really fine." ????????????????e????????. ????o????

"But…."

"Young Master, it's already late. Both of you are wounded, so it's better for you to rest," Hou Lin interrupted from the side. He felt that this kind of task should have been given to Hou Liang. He was certainly not the best at handling two children on his own.

Nan Luo snapped back and nodded. He lowered his head for a moment and then raised it again, showing the same playful grin he always had. "Hua'er should go and rest! We will have less training tomorrow…"

"You'll have class."

"Tsk."

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother, not understanding why Nan Luo was getting agitated. But since he didn't want to let her know, Nan Hua merely nodded her head and walked away.

Standing in his place, Nan Luo stood still as he watched his sister's back visage disappeared into the distance. He then looked at Hou Lin. "Where did you go?"

"I was handling the other group of assassins, Young Master. It's my negliance to cause you harm."

"It's not your fault. I didn't expect them to attack at the same time as others either." Nan Luo sighed. Right now, he looked more like an adult rather than a little kid who was worried about his younger twin sister before. One who was looking at him right now would never believe that he was a kid who had only turned 9 years old.

"Have you caught some for interrogation?"
