Being used to the modern world with advance equipment, Nan Hua silently shook her head. She hid the body behind the bushes while she silently counted the number of the guards she had killed.

'Two more.'

The last two guards were guarding in front of Official Du's room. They could faintly listen to the exercise of their master and madam inside, so they moved slightly further away. It was inappropriate for them to listen to what their master was doing.

"How long do you think it'll be before they call for us?"

"You mean, call for the servant." The guard scoffed. "It shouldn't take that long."

"Mhm."

Thud!

"Huh?" the guard heard faint voice but before he could react, he felt pain from his back and his body fell forward.

Afterwards, a hand grabbed his head and twisted to the side, breaking his neck in a clean movement. The two guards died without being able to alarm anyone.

Nan Hua looked at the door. Her sensitive ear could hear what these people were doing and her eyebrows furrowed. It might be better for her to wait until the woman had finished and the man was sleeping. Who would have thought that this man was so active that he was still busy?

If she converted the time to the modern world's calculation, it was around 2 AM right now. At this time, most people would have already fallen into deep sleep and would not be able to notice what had happened outside.

Silently, Nan Hua climbed the roof.

She could see the two of them were busy on the bed. The man was on the top, muttering some kind of cheesy love words to the woman below him.

Nan Hua had no intention to stay here any longer. She took the sword she stole from the two guards in front and threw it, aiming directly at the man's heart.

Stab!

The sword pierced through the man's chest from the back. Blood was dripping through the other end of the sword. Official Du was stunned. He looked at the sword that suddenly appear as fear enveloped his eyes. Before he could do anything, the sword was fiercely jerked to the back and blood gushed out like waterfall.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The woman below screamed in fear when she saw her husband was wounded so badly in front of her.

On the other hand, Nan Hua released the chain that she connected to the sword temporarily and then rushed out. A stab to the heart would not grant immediate death. The sword itself would block the blood from flowing out.

But if she pulled the sword, blood would flow freely and the man would die very shortly.

Swish!

As ruckus spread in Official Du's Residence, Fei Mao was also quick at work. He took out a dagger and stabbed the unconscious guard in front of him on his thigh. It would not kill him, but it would wound him.

With the blood that poured out, Fei Mao write the word 'Dark Moon' on the ground. He looked at the guard, who had woken up and swiftly disappear.

"Ouch… Help! Assassin!"

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Coupled with the screams from within the residence, everyone was suddenly alerted. It was night time and most people were already in deep sleep. The sudden commotion alarmed them as they hurriedly rushed over to help.

The moment they got close, the smell of blood became clearer.

It was a mess.

Of course, Nan Hua cared nothing for the commotion.

She silently retreated to her own residence and burned her clothes. It was a habit that she had from the modern world. After all, there might be some markings left from this black clothes.

She could make a new one when she needed it in the future.

"Young Miss." Fei Mao followed her into the residence. With his skill, it was not impossible for him to enter here undetected. However, Hou Lin was watching her tightly so whoever come close here would be found out.

It was only because Hou Lin recognized Fei Mao did he allowed this man to enter.

Nan Hua glanced at Fei Mao. "Retreat to Heng Xing City and stay there until further instruction."

"Would you like to do other mission, Young Miss?"

"Not now."

From the way Nan Hua did things, Fei Mao had the feeling that it was extremely easy for Nan Hua to create a mess in the Capital City. Just by targeting those influential who had their name listed, it would surely result in devastating result.

But Nan Hua didn't have such plan.

She also didn't want to make a move personally against those who were not against Nan Family. If they were normal people who have bounty on their head, she would just let the others do their work.

Staying behind would be beneficial for her since she wanted to stay low and not let anyone knew her real identity.

Fei Mao bowed, showing his understanding before he departed.

In that quiet night, only the noise from Official Du Residence could be heard from time to time. It was not known just how much of a mess it was. A lot of people were watching and waiting for him to make a fun of himself.

'Du Family.'

Nan Hua didn't know much about this family, so she would just ask about it from Hou Lin tomorrow.

She turned her head to look at the door. It was time for her two servants to switch their guarding time. For young ladies, there would usually be four servants who would take care of them and each of them handled different job.

Three people were a bit hard but not impossible.

Now that Nan Hua only have two, it was clear that the work was a bit hard for those two. Even though Nan Hua didn't really need protection, it was their job to protect their Master and neither one of them would want to back down.

It seemed that Nan Hua had to think of new person to fill the position.

Who should she pick?
