Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Cai Yun Shao was silent for a moment. He looked at Nan Hua for a moment before struggling a bit then sighed. "What do you know about Dark Moon Organization?"

"It's divided into two big divisions, assassination and also information gathering," Nan Hua was calm when she said this. This was information known from the novel and not from Fei Mao just now. "The one here is only the assassination group while the information group should be in somewhere else. Are they the part of the group that didn't want to follow that Dou woman?"

"You're smart." Cai Yun Shao was stunned. He thought that he was facing a little kid who didn't know the world but the one in front of him was actually someone who knew everything about them like the back of her hand.

Fei Mao was dazed. This was part of information that even he didn't know.

"I have to." Nan Hua looked at Cai Yun Shao. "Do you think I'll be able to find out something about you?"

Cai Yun Shao was silent. Even though he was part of Dark Moon Organization, he used to have normal life. He knew very well that if he didn't follow Nan Hua, he would be left behind in this place and probably rot for his entire life. And if she got hold onto his weakness, he would just then be coerced to follow her.

He sighed. "Do you want me to follow you?"

"Isn't it natural?"

"I have condition."

"Speak."

"First, I would like to be the one in charge of the information gathering. I'll not skimp the information when I hand it to you but I would still like to be the one to lead my men. Second, don't dig into my past. Third, release me from this place."

Nan Hua nodded. "Deal."

Cai Yun Shao was stunned. That easily?

"I'll not be here most of the time, so Fei Mao will be the fake leader." Nan Hua pointed at Fei Mao beside her, who almost tripped over the air when he heard that. "As you might have already guessed, I'm not from Heng Xing City but I would like you to continue your operation as per normal."

"Normal? It's not going to be possible." Cai Yun Shao smiled bitterly. "The moment the group of people who come with Leader Dou realize that their leader had died, they'll pursue this matter to the very end."

"I'll pay them a visit after this as long as you tell me where they are."

"I know where they are."

"Good then. Anything else?"

Cai Yun Shao shook his head. He was looking at Nan Hua with bewilderment and wondered why did she come into decision so quickly.

Nan Hua nodded. "I will let you live a life worse than death if you betray me. Also, I would like the Dark Moon Organization to cooperate with someone in this city."

"Who?"

While Cai Yun Shao was confused, Nan Hua had stood up and walked towards the chain. She took out one of her hairpins and lodged it to the keyhole. After a few moments, the chains dropped to the ground.

Cai Yun Shao looked at the hairpin while Nan Hua had already put it back to her hair. Who would have thought that a seemingly normal hairpin could be used for something like this?

"Let's go. They must have caught wind of Dou woman's death by now."

"Alright."

Without hesitation, Cai Yun Shao walked forward. His body was thin and he looked very weak. Still, he looked vigorous as if he was still young and full of vigor. Walking out of the underground prison, they arrived back at the clothing store.

He passed by some rooms and noticed the broken wall along with Leader Dou's corpses. His lips twitched when he saw the miserable look on the woman's face. However, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Poison?"

"She poisoned herself. Which organization would do that?" Nan Hua asked back. She was not completely familiar with all the organization in the entire land. Dark Moon Organization was one of the few organizations mentioned in the novel, so she had some information about it even before coming here.

Cai Yun Shao's lips twitched. "It should be assassination specialization organization. There are a few of them in Fei Yang Kingdom and also nearby. But if they dared to fight against Dark Moon Organization, there should be only three possibilities."

"You shall investigate them later."

"Alright."

"Young Miss, shall I dealt with the corpse?" Fei Mao asked in a low tone.

Nan Hua shook her head. "You come with me. Ask the other three to deal with the corpse and threw it to the underground prison."

"...Alright. Oh right, one of them had died, so there are only two left." Fei Mao completely forgot too report this before because Nan Hua was asking to meet with Leader Dou. During one of the mission, one of the three who were also controlled by poison had died due to his carelessness.

Thanks to that, they could actually last longer with the antidotes that Nan Hua prepared.

"Oh." Nan Hua was not surprised.

Fei Mao's lips twitched. What did he hope Nan Hua's reaction would be when she heard this news before?

Changing his clothes quickly, Cai Yun Shao then led them out through the backdoor. He walked through the darkness without even paying attention to his steps. It was as if he still could walk even with his eyes covered.

They changed direction a few times and Nan Hua was perfectly concealing her presence.

Soon, they arrived in a remote courtyard.

"It's here."

Nan Hua looked at the nameplate. "Minister Hou?"

"That's the fake name that they used in order to blend here." Cai Yun Shao smiled bitterly.

"Oh."

"You're not going to go inside."

"What's the hurry?" Nan Hua silently climbed the nearby tree and sat down comfortably.

Her action confused the other two so much that they wondered whether they came here to eliminate Leader Dou's people or sightseeing.
