Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Old Master Nan had almost caused the entire Capital City to almost be destroyed when he thought that his granddaughter had died. And now, he wanted to go out to find his granddaughter.

It was very likely that their expression would be very colorful.

Feng Ao Kuai really couldn't imagine it.

Nan Hua took the bamboo scrolls in front of her and silently walked away. "I'll follow you as Nan tomorrow."

With that, she left.

At the same time, there was sound of footsteps coming from the entrance. Steward Tong had arrived and cupped his fist respectfully when he was facing Old Master Nan and Feng Ao Kuai.

"Old Master, Second Young Master Feng, Fourth Young Miss Mu is here."

Fourth Young Miss Mu?

Feng Ao Kuai looked at Old Master Nan as if he was asking who in the world is that and why would she come here.

Old Master Nan sighed. "She's one of the few friends Hua'er made when she's in the Capital City. Fourth Young Miss Mu, Mu Fei Jiu, is also Princess Mu Fei Xin's younger sister under the same father and mother."

It didn't take long for Feng Ao Kuai to understand. He nodded. "I'll go to see her, Grandfather."

"Go."

It was naturally unsuitable for either one of them to meet her. But since Nan Hua was 'dead,' there was no way they could ask her to come forward. She didn't even contact her fiancé, much less those others who were not that close to her.

Feng Ao Kuai walked to the front and saw a young girl pacing back and forth. The servant must have already told her to wait, but Mu Fei Jiu really couldn't calm down.

"Fourth Young Miss Mu," Feng Ao Kuai called and cupped his fist. "This one is Feng Ao Kuai, Young Miss Nan's second cousin."

"Mu Fei Jiu greets Second Young Master Feng," Mu Fei Jiu quickly greeted back and curtsied. She was not an ignorant person and naturally had known Feng Ao Kuai's name. At this moment, she was feeling nervous.

When she was happily accompanying her father, she heard an earthshattering news that Young Miss Nan had died.

This made her think that she was dreaming.

Her image of Nan Hua was that she was very smart and cautious. That kind of person shouldn't have died so easily. In the end, Mu Fei Jiu couldn't suppress her curiosity and uneasiness.

She decided to come directly to Nan Family Residence.

"What brings you here today, Forth Young Miss Mu?" Feng Ao Kuai asked politely.

"You may call me Young Miss Mu as the Mu Family had been destroyed." Mu Fei Jiu was calm. "I'm here to see Young Miss Nan, Second Young Master Feng."

Feng Ao Kuai revealed a strange expression. "Have you heard the news that…"

"Second Young Master Feng, I have heard that there's an accident. However, I refused to believe that Young Miss Nan had passed away." Mu Fei Jiu's voice trembled a bit. She was actually scared, scared that Nan Hua might have truly died.

But at this moment, she knew that she had to suppress whatever thoughts and emotion she had. She had to keep her calm if she wanted to get the answer she needed.

But no matter how much Mu Fei Jiu tried to hide her feelings, it was impossible for her to do so perfectly.

Being only 11 years old, it was already good enough that she was able to keep her calm in this situation. It was hard for her to speak normally if she didn't control her emotion because she really wanted to cry. And her anxiousness only made her become even more impatient and worried.

"I'm sorry." Feng Ao Kuai could only say that.

Mu Fei Jiu looked at Feng Ao Kuai as she really wanted to cry. She held her tears back and said in quivering voice, "Tell me, is she alright?"

"I can't tell you anything, Young Miss Mu." Feng Ao Kuai was looking at Mu Fei Jiu as he silently assessed the young girl. She was still very young, but she had decent control of her emotion. Not only that, she seemed to be quite smart to be the few surviving member of Mu Family.

Or the Mu Family downfall might have some relation to her.

"I see."

Mu Fei Jiu gripped her fist harder. No matter whether Nan Hua is alive or dead, she would never forgive those people for harming her. Even if Old Master Nan had made a move personally, Mu Fei Jiu knew that there were still some few who got away.

Not to mention, some women were spared.

In that case, she would be the one to deal with them.

"Can you tell me other things?"

"Such as?"

"The few families who originally go against the Nan Family." Mu Fei Jiu's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Feng Ao Kuai was stunned. He looked at the young girl in front of her and thought for a moment. In the end, he nodded and told her the general situation.

Mu Fei Jiu listened attentively and committed them to her heart.

The two of them only stopped when it was late and Mu Fei Jiu had to return or her father would worry.

"Thank you for everything today, Second Young Master Feng." Mu Fei Jiu curtsied and then walked away.

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He watched until Mu Fei Jiu had gone before turning around. He felt that she was quite interesting. It was then he saw his grandfather was looking at him with interest.

"What is it, Grandfather?"

"I'm thinking whether you're interested in Mu Fei Jiu or not."

Feng Ao Kuai was speechless.

"Grandfather, I'm only 15 years old."

"An engagement is not too early." Old Master Nan snorted. Feng Ao Kuai is mature, different from Feng Ao Si who was so stupid. Even if Feng Ao Kuai got married right after he turned 20, Old Master Nan was not worried in the slightest bit.

"I'm not thinking about that at this point." Feng Ao Kuai pondered for a moment. "But she did seem quite interesting."

"I see." Old Master Nan smirked.

For some reason, Feng Ao Kuai felt that his grandfather's smile was a bit dark and weird. He quickly gave excuse and ran away to his quarter.

Old Master Nan snorted and thought for a moment. Mu Family might have fallen and Mu Fei Jiu's father was working in the store. He might not have any decent position, but his personality didn't seem to be that bad.

There was no need for them to find powerful family to marry as long as the personality was decent.

It seemed that he should talk about this to Nan Si Qiao in the future.

At that time, Feng Ao Kuai would have never imagined that his seemingly careless remark would give him some headache for a long period of time. After all, his mother would be very happy to arrange her sons' marriage.

…

<Nan Hua's Quarter.>

While Feng Ao Kuai was talking with Mu Fei Jiu, Nan Hua had returned to her quarter. Just yesterday, she had asked her maidservants about whether they would want to follow her plan or not.

*Last night*

On the other hand, Nan Hua was still as calm as ever inside her quarter. She had a good night sleep and woke up early the next day. Her eyes were looking at her four maidservants.

"I have different assignment for you."

"Please tell us, Miss." Xiao Yun patted her chest assuredly. "We'll do our best to make sure that we'll finish whatever you ask us to do."

Mu Yan nodded.

Chu Yue grinned. "What can I do for you, Miss?"

Ran looked at Nan Hua curiously and also nodded vigorously.

The four of them had different reaction, but it was clear that they were ready to do whatever Nan Hua asked them to do. In fact, it was rather rare for Nan Hua to gather all of them together like this.

"Xiao Yun and Ran will stay in Yi Shang Temple with Ku acting as me. Ku is not allowed to be seen by anyone during her stay inside the quarter in Yi Shang Temple while Xiao Yun and Ran will take care of the quarter."

The four of them were stunned.

It was then they realized that Nan Hua wanted them to act as if Ku was her and that she had been staying in Yi Shang Temple.

"Miss, why is it me?" Xiao Yun asked. She actually wanted to follow Nan Hua rather than staying in Yi Shang Temple.

"Your martial arts are lower."

Ran and Xiao Yun: "…"

For some reasons, the other two also turned their head to look at the two of them. They never competed against each other, but Nan Hua had her own method to gauge their ability and guessed which one among them who were more powerful and those who were not powerful enough.

And probably, it was more than enough for them.

"How about the two of us, Miss?"

"You two will follow me to the battlefield and fight at the frontline. Naturally, I would need you two to become soldier for this to happen and the one you will follow will be Nan Luo and not me."
