Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

After Wan Xiong said what he wanted to say, he felt a bit nervous.

Truthfully, the real reason why he decided to say it was because he had already had the agreement of Shu Heng. He longed for those things as it was the reason why he decided to enter Night Rat Organization in the first place.

Si Mo Fan tilted his head and turned to look at Nan Hua.

"That's not impossible but not now." Nan Hua looked at Wan Xiong. "When the chance come, I'll contact you personally."

Wan Xiong was stunned then he smiled.

"Thank you, Master Jiu."

Shu Heng listened to their conversation as he thought about the request that Wan Xiong made. It was actually more like his private matter rather than the problem of the entire Night Rat Organization.

Yet, the Dark Moon Organization still decided to help.

His evaluation of Dark Moon Organization naturally rose by another level.

White stretched her hand and grabbed Shu Heng's hand. She knew his background because she was the one who brought him into Night Rat Organization. If it was possible for the Dark Moon Organization to help him, she wouldn't mind at all.

Si Mo Fan noticed their interaction. "Do you also have a private matter that you need to settle?"

"You don't seem to mind at all even though we're not discussing the entire problem of Night Rat Organization," Shu Heng answered coolly.

"People are still individuals who have their own selfish desire. Even if you're the leader of a large organization like this, it didn't erase the fact that you also have your own personal goal." Si Mo Fan chuckled.

He could remember the days when he had inevitably ignored the matter of Dark Moon Organization because he was so worried of his wife. If not because Nan Hua appeared, he was sure that Dark Moon Organization would have long been destroyed in his hand.

Thankfully, it didn't happen.

But that experience allowed him to understand that even though he was already at that high position, he still had the responsibility towards his family. It would be impossible for him to ignore his wife and son's needs.

Because of that, he knew that if Shu Heng had his own private matter, it was fine.

"I see." Shu Heng could guess that it would be impossible for him to ask for help freely. "When I have done something important, I'll talk about it."

"That's fine by me."

After they had settled that, they started to discuss about the overall condition of Night Rat Organization. Even though Shu Heng was sad that the organization would have to work under Dark Moon Organization, he was still amazed when he heard that they could operate on their own.

Dark Moon Organization would not interfere that much.

However, they would have to focus their attention on a few pieces of news that the Dark Moon Organization was interested in.

One of them was…

War between Fei Yang Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom.

It was not new that the two kingdoms had quite some tension. Added with the facts that the Wei Da Kingdom's spies were creating trouble during the inauguration, it was highly unlikely that Fei Yang Kingdom would stay silent.

They would definitely launch an attack when it was time.

Even now, the border had quite the tension.

"Xia Mountains are the border between Fei Yang Kingdom to Wei Da Kingdom. Emptying the West Valley is not difficult since there are not many people who pass by the area. However, it's also a lawless area." Shu Heng had the necessary information about the place.

In fact, his information was more complete compared to Dark Moon Organization.

"Are there any people we need to watch out there? I thought it has been empty for a long time." Ji Han Yu looked at the group in confusion. He had been staying in Wei Da Kingdom for a long time, so the information he had regarding other areas has been quite lacking.

"There are only some bandits there. However, there are also rumors saying that there's a beast in West Valley."

"Beast?"

Si Mo Fan frowned. It was highly unlikely that there would be a beast in such vast area where a lot of people roamed around. If there was one, it would have been killed from a long time ago.

"Yes, some carriages are attacked fiercely. The marks make us thought that they're done by a beast. But since that's a remote area, not many people want to pass and take care of the problem," Wan Xiong explained.

"Let's sweep the area, then."

Ji Han Yu stood up. He didn't really care whether there were a group of bandits or a beast. In any case, it just needed some whack and they would leave the place alone. That was all he had in his mind.

Si Mo Fan was speechless.

"Don't you need any preparation? Anyway, I'm not following you this time. I have to take care of the base."

"Sure, sure, you lazy leader."

"Ji Han Yu, don't push your luck."

Ji Han Yu snorted and walked out. On the other hand, Si Mo Fan talked about some other matters that they had to settle after the Night Rat worked under Dark Moon.

Nan Hua watched everything from the side without interfering. She had no qualms with the arrangement that Si Mo Fan made. What interest her the most was the so called beast in West Valley.

She had never head of one.

Probably, it was because the beast would have died when Fei Yang Kingdom formally launched an attack towards Wei Da Kingdom as revenge for what the latter did in Spring.

'Should I just wait?'

Nan Hua thought for a moment before deciding to stand up. There was nothing else she would like to do anyway since taking over the few tribes around Night Rat Organization would take quite a lot of manpower and time.

They would have to pass the West Valley.
