Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

There was always a separation between men and women during a banquet. It was practically impossible for one to move to the other side of the hall unless they wished to be beaten up.

Long Qian Xing had to resist the urge to break the rules many times in the past when he first come to this world.

"Are you tired, Hua'er?" Long Qian Xing changed the conversation.

"No, I'm not tired." It was nothing much for her. Nan Hua's black eyes were staring at the crowd in front of her as she was thinking of her next action. She was not here to play around but to plan for her next move too.

Long Qian Xing nodded then looked into a distance. Madam Feng and the others should be done with picking food soon.

Beside them, Feng Ao Kuai was pursing his lips. He began to feel that his mother's decision to leave them with Long Qian Xing was the worst decision ever. While he didn't really understand why Nan Hua would ask that kind of question here, he didn't really want to see her having such a close relationship with Long Qian Xing.

At least, not now.

Nan Si Qiao returned not long afterwards while carrying two bowls of mutton. She smiled brightly when she saw them waiting patiently. "Hua'er, this one for you."

"Thank you, Aunt."

Nan Hua took the bowl and began to eat. The taste was pretty good even though the amount was not much. It seemed that the novel food in this era developed from poverty.

Well, situation like this did induce creativity the most since humans needed it in their boring process of survival.

Looking at how Nan Luo was glaring daggers at Long Qian Xing when he gave the bowl, Nan Si Qiao smiled amusedly. She was sure that if the one who was staying behind was Nan Luo and not Feng Ao Kuai, there might be a fight when she returned.

The group finished their short meal while standing before they go back.

The distance was not far and they had to pass through several streets. Nan Hua's attention was placed on the surrounding stores since she hadn't gone around, so their speed was also a bit slow. This was also the reason why Nan Si Qiao bought a bowl of mutton for them to eat first.

"Feng Family Residence is just beyond this street." Feng Ao Kuai stretched his hand once more. He felt a bit rusty after not using his skill. "Do you still want to stop in a store again?"

Looking at Nan Hua who had stopped before a stall and looked at the various things there, Feng Ao Si sighed. He felt that he should never walk around with a girl in the future or he would have to delay his speed. It was so boring to have to wait around like this. He would rather go back home and exercise his fist.

Of course, he would never mention this.

If his mother heard it, he might be beaten up and no one in the family would try to save him.

"Hua'er, do you want something?" Nan Luo asked.

Nan Hua shook her head. The quality of the items here was considerably lower than the one in the Capital City. With so many people focused on finding food, who would have time to make high quality items?

She turned around and an additional bamboo stick was slipped among the goods.

The owner stepped forward, pretending to fix the position while the bamboo stick had long disappeared.

The process was smooth and covert.

No one would ever though that the young miss from an influential family would have a connection with this low end stall. In fact, Nan Hua would never have thought about it if not because she recognized the face.

Soon, they arrived back home.

Long Qian Xing also excused himself after he saw them go back to Feng Family Residence because there was no need for him to stay there any longer.

"I hope we don't need to meet again," Nan Luo grumbled after he bid his farewell.

Nan Hua didn't pay attention to her twin brother. She excused herself with the excuse that she was tired and go back to her room. Xiao Yun helped her to wash up before she ate the food in her room. Her hand procured a different bamboo stick that she had taken from the stall.

This method of exchanging information was partially new for her because she rarely exchanged information this crudely. But without internet and other high end facilities, the most basic method was indeed the best.

There were only a few words written on the small bamboo sticks, but it was already enough for Nan Hua to know about the recent situation. Her eyes flashed when she read the content.

It seemed that the Dark Moon Organization required another beating before they would fully follow her.

It didn't matter.

She never though that Nan San would follow her wholeheartedly in the first place. She only needed their influence and planned on strengthening them. There was still more than enough time for her to put them on their place later.

"Xiao Yun, I'm done."

"I'll take away the tray, Miss."

Nan Hua stood up and walked to her bed. She was looking at the window, thinking about what she was going to do now that Princess Yue would come in a few more days.

More preparation?

Another visit to Dark Moon Organization?

It seemed that first she had to figure out what her senior sister planned during the day of Princess Yue's arrival. If her ninth sister was involved, Nan Hua knew that things might not end up well.

In that case, the first thing to do tomorrow was to meet her.

With that in mind, Nan Hua fell asleep.

In the morning, Nan Hua did her activities as usual and trained wholeheartedly. Not a single one of them noticed that she was thinking about something else.

In the afternoon, she visited her ninth senior sister as usual.
