Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Jun Hua?" Nan Luo repeated the name then tilted his head. "You're not going to hide your gender in Xia Mountain?"

"There's no need."

Nan Hua didn't really think it was that important for her to hide her gender when she was in Xia Mountain. Besides, she did need an identity for when she led the people there, so she would rather go by this name.

At the very least, it only changed her surname.

"Jun Hua, Jun Hua…" Nan Luo repeated the name then grinned. "You're taking our mother's surname?"

Their mother's surname was Jun.

It was actually a rarely used surname in this area since their parents did come from other areas. They only settled here and then purchased some mining rights, which allowed them to thrive. Because of their contribution, they later got some nobility title, albeit it was not that high.

But it was also the same mining right that caused their family downfall.

The Jun Family had a lot of competitor, one of them was Tu Family. Back then, the Tu Family took over the mining right after Jun Family was completely destroyed. This caused them to grow richer and naturally, more arrogant.

Nan Luo never had any good impression of the Tu Family.

Even up until now.

"Yes. There are some people with the same surname living around the Xia Mountain, so it wouldn't be a strange surname." Nan Hua glanced at Nan Luo.

"Right, mother's cousins." Nan Luo didn't know exactly about his mother's lineage since she didn't say much about that. However, he did remember that his mother told him that she had distant cousins living in Xia Mountain areas.

Not exactly in the mountain, but around that area.

Nan Hua nodded. When she had time, she would try to find them. But for now, her priority would be to return to Xia Mountain and take care of Dark Moon Organization that hadn't been taken care of during this period of time.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Hua and then nodded. "Alright, Jun Hua will be part of Fei Yang Kingdom later?"

"Probably."

"Probably?"

Facing with Feng Ao Kuai's question, Nan Hua simply turned her body around. She waved her hand and left.

Nan Luo was speechless.

"If she's not my sister, I'll not let her off when she's leaving me hanging like this." Nan Luo rubbed his forehead. However, he smirked when thought of the name Jun Hua that Nan Hua made. This name would definitely shake some people.

Feng Ao Kuai didn't know what Nan Luo was thinking. He shrugged. "Let's go back. We've a lot to do before it's Spring."

"Ah, okay."

War will begin in spring, so if it was possible, the two of them wanted to get promoted as soon as possible. Only when they had more soldiers would they be able to do more significant damage to their enemies.

At their current position?

That would be nothing more than a pipe dream.

…

Xia Mountain

Nan Hua bypassed several areas as she made her way towards Xia Mountain. She did pay a short visit to Wind City and noticed that the City had been rebuilt. The marks from war had been erased as more new and better buildings were built.

The people had also started to move into the city again.

A few months were enough to transfer some citizens into coming to this place again. And with the new governor, Nan Hua knew that Wind City would be fine for the time being.

This time, Nan Hua didn't go to Han Zhong City and directly went up to Xia Mountain. Stepping into the stone path, Nan Hua could faintly see the traps and the people who were hiding in the darkness.

They didn't even realize that she was coming.

Unless she purposely announced her presence or stepped on any of those traps, they wouldn't know that she was here.

Nan Hua calmly traversed the path to the top of the mountain and entered the dark cave, directly went through to the other side. When she was there, she stopped and looked forward as a man was walking in her direction.

Si Mo Fan smiled bitterly. "Young Miss, do you have any other instruction?"

Nan Hua nodded.

Si Bai had been sent to Zhang Xu Kingdom in advance. Even though his mother, Yan Xi, didn't really want to put her son in danger, she still accepted this arrangement that Nan Hua made for them.

"Fei Yang will begin war against Wei Da Kingdom in Spring. I want you to prepare their route. Let them pass."

Si Mo Fan blinked his eyes. "I'll arrange for them to pass through the West Valley."

"That's good enough."

Nan Hua didn't really want the soldiers to pass through by climbing the mountain either. The West Valley was rather close to Zhang Xu Kingdom area.

It seemed that she would need to clean up that area first.

"Prepare to clear and expand to the west in two days' time. Tomorrow, I'm meeting the Wei Da's branch representative first."

Si Mo Fan smiled. "Good."

He had been waiting for this for a long time. The people at the West Valley had to be prepared because Nan Hua would not let them off easily.

At the same time, he also knew that without Nan Hua reconstructing Dark Moon Organization, they would never have achieved this far. He longed for the day where this organization would be revered by many.

Oh wait, there was something else.

"Young Miss, will you come as Master Jiu or…?"

Nan Hua had taken the identity of Nan Jiu, which could also be said to be Master Jiu or Master Nine. It was an identity she used when she took mission so that it wouldn't be that eye catching.

Few experts knew that Master Jiu was actually Nan Hua and also the real leader of Dark Moon Organization.

"I'm coming as Jun Hua."

"Jun Hua?" Si Mo Fan was stunned.
