Nan Hua took the list and glanced at it before tucking it away. From her grandfather, she had managed to figure out some important people in Wind City.

It looked like there would be a mess tonight.

"Stay safe."

"Yes."

With that, Nan Hua disappeared into the dark night.

Cao Yao Shu still sipped his tea while his other hand write on the bamboo strip quickly. He had to deliver the message to Heng Xing City in order to let Zhang Dan Shui began to move.

'How tiring.'

A smile formed at the corner of Cao Yao Shu's lips. He was tired from many work that he had to do, but thinking that he was actually able to move things from the shadow made him happy.

He would do his best to make sure that he would be able to do everything well.

Swish! Slash!

In the dark night, Nan Hua slipped into the residence of some people. Her eyes were looking at the group of people who were trying to slip away. Some of them were influential people but some others were just anyone you can find on the street.

The fact that they were in a hurry to leave had told her that they were all trying to pass the important messages and detail from the recent kidnapping.

Not that she would allow them.

Slash!

"Who…"

The man brandished his sword, but before he could fully pull it out, he felt pain on his neck. Blood burst out like a waterfall before his body fell to the ground, filled with disbelief. He didn't even see his opponent before he ended up dying so miserably like this.

The other people in the same group was stunned. They tried to react but Nan Hua had rushed over in their direction. Her small knife easily slashed through their skin, cutting open fatal wounds that would be hard to close.

Thud!

Smell of blood began to spread from all corners of Wind City.

Nan Hua was not as fast as the dancers. After all, the dancers have lived in Wind City for a long time and naturally more familiar with the ordinary names that she had given out. She couldn't possibly recognize everyone when she rarely came out as the noble lady of Nan Family.

Thus, Nan Hua's target was the high ranking ones.

Some of them tried to escape because they had behaved suspiciously during the time Princess Yue was kidnapped. On the other hand, a portion of them was still enjoying themselves.

'Here.'

Nan Hua looked at the grand residence and slipped inside from the side. Landing in the bushes, she could see several guards patrolling. The guards and servants were not her target this time, so she would not kill them.

Even though it might be easier to just kill everyone, Nan Hua was trained to only kill her target. Those who were not the target had to be avoided or fooled. In her original world, killing more people would be harder because of their identification equipment that would shout alarm if the person died.

While this world was different, Nan Hua had no intention of killing them.

It would be a hassle if someone found out that a certain person was missing before she finished her mission.

Swish!

When the guards were not looking, Nan Hua slipped into the house. Even though she was only a few centimeters away from the guard, she didn't show any nervousness or anything. Hiding her presence, paying close attention to the range of their senses, that was what allowed an assassin to be successful in their career.

"Are you the one who's in charge of guarding tonight?"

"Yes, Master is still busy with his hobby." The guard shivered a bit when he talked about that. "Lower your voice or you'll be in for torment."

"Hmm, right."

Nan Hua slipped into the inner room and easily climbed the ceiling before finding her way to slip inside. Holding onto the wooden pillars used to prop the ceiling, Nan Hua glanced inside.

Her eyes arched when she saw the mess of blood and flesh. There was a pool of blood and the clothes around were all smeared by blood. Several people were kneeling not far from a man who was sitting on the bed, holding a bloodied whip.

This person was someone whom Nan Hua knew because she had seen him before, the Governor of Wind City.

The only person who could suppress her uncle in Wind City.

He was on the list of target that should be eliminated if Wind City wanted to move forward and provide better support for the war and looking at the scene before her, Nan Hua could guess the reason. The governor was only good at the surface but did other things that couldn't be said behind the back.

What a pity.

'Feng Qian Kun should be able to try his luck in becoming the next governor.'

While Nan Hua didn't know much about the third young master of Feng Family, she at least knew that he was quite the capable official. His personal life might be a bit of a mess but she didn't really care about that.

It was impossible for her to induce changes in the entire world's way of life just because she transmigrated here.

'Time for action.'

Swish!

The Governor leaned back, waving his whip to the person closest to him. His posture clearly said that he was not paying attention to his safety. Or in other words, he was not thinking of the possibility of being assassinated in the middle of the night like this.

Slash!

A knife made a slit on the governor's neck from the back before Nan Hua jumped back up. She could see blood burst out from the seemingly small wound before the governor dropped to the ground.. The people around were all in panic, screaming here and there but no one actually helped.
