Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



The assassination problem was solved just like that.

For Nan Hua, this small fry assassin was not worth her time. However, she was more interested in Jun Fang, this cousin of hers who kept on being targeted with so many people.

Nan Luo was woken up by the commotion and saw Nan Hua and Jun Fang walked to his tent. He arched his eyebrows. "Did someone target you again, Jun Fang?"

"Yeah." Jun Fang smiled bitterly.

Due to the few assassination attempts against him in the past, he had always put up his guard. It was really tiring and made him felt exhausted. But in order to keep his small life, it was a small price to pay.

"You're unexpectedly popular among the assassins." Nan Luo shook his head.

Jun Fang was speechless.

Come on, he didn't have any intention to be so popular either, okay?

"Do you know who might target you?" Nan Hua asked as they came into Nan Luo's tent. This was the best place for quiet discussion as no one wouldn't dare to get close unless they wanted to get beaten up.

"I can only think of my uncle." Jun Fang sighed.

Jun Family was split into two and Jun Fang and his father didn't have good relationship with the other relatives. It was something that both Nan Luo and Nan Hua knew very well because they were present during Jun Fang's recruitment a long time ago and saw how tense their relationship was.*

Back then, there was even an assassination attempt on the very first day of his recruitment. Nan Hua solved the problem temporarily, but Jun Fang was still targeted even until this point which proved that some people wanted him to die so badly.

"Does your father had something that your uncle wanted?" Nan Luo was confused. Even if the two brothers were not in good relationship with each other, it shouldn't have gone to the point where they wanted other people's death, right?

"I don't know." Jun Fang was gloomy.

If it was really his uncle who was so persistent, the relationship between his father and his uncle would definitely deteriorate further. And being the good child as he always been, he usually told his father when something like this happened.

It wouldn't be peaceful in Jun Family.

"No, it's not your uncle." Nan Hua knew very well that the assassin who came today came from Large Yu.

One of the reasons why she chose to participate in this battle was also because she was waiting for the assassin from Large Yu to appear. She had seen Jun Fang's name in the list of targeted people from Large Yu's list.

From there, she could guess that someone with connection to Large Yu might be after Jun Fang's family.

She came here while waiting for them to appear.

At the same time, she would be helping her twin brother in the war. That was very cost effective.

"How do you know?" Jun Fang was stunned.

"Your uncle didn't have deep connection with the organizations in Wei Da Kingdom, did he?" Nan Hua glanced at Jun Fang.

If Jun Fang's uncle had such deep connection, there was no way that his business would suffer so much in that small city. He would have long departed to Wei Da Kingdom to build a business empire that would not lose to many others.

Yet, he was staying in that small city and even engage in petty battles with his brother.

No matter from which perspective Nan Hua looked at it, the logic simply didn't match up. Thus, she came to the conclusion that someone else was targeting Jun Fang and his father.

"No." Jun Fang shook his head.

They had been staying in Fei Yang Kingdom for decades even before his grandfather's generation. They definitely didn't have such deep connection with Wei Da Kingdom despite staying near the border.

Anyway, the Xia Mountains Range prevented them from even having good conversation with those from Wei Da kingdom. And no one in their family would try to cross the large mountain to head towards Wei Da Kingdom.

That would be suicide.

"Then, it's not your uncle." Nan Luo nodded. "Do you have any other ideas about those who might target your father?"

"How should I know?" Jun Fang was speechless.

His father didn't tell him anything about this and Jun Fang was not a person who liked to pry into his father's business. Since his father didn't want to tell him, how could he possibly force his father to tell him?

"Take a leave for some time and I'll come with you to Jun Family to ask your father about it." Nan Hua paused for a moment and then looked at Jun Fang up and down.

Jun Fang felt chills on his back when he saw Nan Hua's gaze. For a moment, he felt like he was being assessed and that assessment would determine his fate.

"Is there anything…?" Jun Fang asked carefully.

"What's your mother's surname?"

"Wei, her surname is Wei," Jun Fang replied.

"The Imperial Family surname?" Nan Luo was stunned. Wei Da Kingdom's Imperial Family had surname Wei, so he was stunned.

"No, she's not from Wei Da Kingdom." Jun Fang looked at Nan Luo speechlessly. "She's from a scholarly family in a city not far from ours. Her grandparents had passed away due to war, but Wei Family was quite big. Her cousins and sister are still alive if you want to know more."

Nan Hua thought about it for a moment and then nodded. She felt that she should do some investigation on her own if she truly wanted to know more about them. "Ask your father later."

"Ok." Jun Fang nodded helplessly.

Then again, he also wanted to solve this assassination problem that had plagued him for some time.

He hoped that he could get the answer he wanted by asking his father.
