Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 730: Burning

“Second Young Master Nan, I would advise you to leave this place.” Chu Yue simply repeated her words when she saw Nan Hou Xiang’s indignant expression. She was not afraid at all of this young master in front of her.         

    

Nan Hou Xiang stomped his legs in anger. He wanted to say more, but Chu Yue began to release her killing intent. The training that Chu Yue had received was not something a pampered young master like him could possibly imagine in his entire life.     

“Ugh…”     

In the end, Nan Hou Xiang turned around and left directly. He kicked the other servants on the way to vent his anger.     

Watching it all, Xiao Yun clicked her tongue. “At the end of the day, he’s still a kid.”     

“Right.”     

Chu Yue had already sheathed her sword back. She had no intention of hurting Nan Hou Xiang because it would only cause troubles. However, she would never show it on the surface in order to scare that young master.     

If it was really necessary, she didn’t mind killing him directly.     

At this time, Nan Hua had returned to her quarter. She had no intention to entertain Nan Hou Xiang in his childish game. Her mental age was already over twenty years old. She was no longer a little kid who could only throw tantrum.     

Not that she threw tantrum when she was a kid.     

Since she was already in that hellish training ever since she was still very young.     

“Chu Yue, you handle him.”     

“Yes, Miss.”     

Chu Yue’s eyes glinted with ruthlessness. It was unlikely for Nan Hou Xiang to give up so easily. In that case, she would make sure that they paid for what they wanted to do dearly.     

After that, Nan Hou Xiang didn’t visit Nan Hua anymore.     

But when night descendent, a few servants came from Nan Hou Xiang’s Quarter towards Nan Hua’s Quarter. They carried a few torches and seemed to be walking aimlessly but tried to get close from time to time.     

“There are still some servants around this area.”     

“How about that one?” one of them asked.     

“That’s weird.” The third one tilted his head. “There are only a few servants who served First Young Miss. Why did it seem that there are more people here?”     

“Don’t speak nonsense! If they’re not people, are they ghost?”     

“…There are no ghost, right?”     

The others looked at him and scoffed. They felt that he was too much of a coward. How could there be a ghost?     

“Let’s split up and try to enter.”     

“Alright, alright.”     

They split up and headed towards different ways. But it didn’t even take a few moments before a shadow loomed above their head, knocking them to the ground in swift movements.     

Thunk!         

    

“What brings you here so late at night?” Chu Yue asked in a cold tone. Her sword rested on the neck of one of the few people there.     

“This…”     

“We’re only passing by! We’re passing by!”     

“Passing by?” Chu Yue chuckled, her expression turned exceedingly cold. She turned to the side and said in calm voice. “Tell Young Miss that there are a few people who wants to burn her house down.”     

This place used to belong to Nan Hua’s mother. Even though there were many bad memories for Nan Hua in this place, it still also contained precious memory of her mother here. For them to want to burn this place, what other intention would there be aside from hurting her?     

Thus, Chu Yue was very angry.     

Mu Yan bowed and hurried inside to relay what Chu Yue told her. It was clear that whatever happened to the servants outside didn’t seem to be something that she cared about.     

Nan Hua was fixing the pouch in her hand when Mu Yan came in and reported.     

“Since they like to burn so much, they can start by themselves.”     

Mu Yan acknowledged it and moved away once more to relay the message to Chu Yue. When the latter heard what Nan Hua ordered, a strange expression formed on Chu Yue’s face. For some reasons, she had a good idea how to deal with these three.     

“Help me carry the torch.”     

Ran stepped forward and took the torch these three originally brought along. Her eyelids twitched when she saw Chu Yue carried the three men on her shoulder as if they were nothing more than cotton sack. She silently wondered just how strong Chu Yue actually was.     

The three of them were unable to do anything because Chu Yue had already pressed their accupoint. She then threw them towards the wall of Madam Qu’s quarter and stretched her hand, asking for the torch.     

“Since you like burning so much, you should start from yourself.”     

‘AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”     

The three of them wanted to scream as they squirmed while their body set on fire. Chu Yue took out a rock from nearby and knocked the side door heading towards Madam Qu’s quarter and used other rocks to release the tree of them from their paralyzed state.     

They ran wildly, knocking on anything they could on their way in order to set off the fire.     

Chu Yue didn’t bother with them anymore and returned to the quarter with Ran. The two of them were silent all the way and didn’t seem to have any qualms in acting under the eyes of other shadow guards.     

It could only be said that they were simply repaying the favor of these three servants.     

“Would this bring trouble to Miss?”     

“As long as those shadow guards from other families are not speaking, it’ll be fine.” Chu Yue grinned. “After all, the shadow guards from that man is not in this area.”     

Ran revealed a look of realization when she heard Chu Yue’s words and nodded in amazement.     

Those people wouldn’t reveal the fact that they were the ones who did it. How could they? They were here under strict order in order to watch Nan Shu Cheng and kept their identity in very tight secret.     

They were not allowed to leak anything, so how could they tattletale?     

Thus, they would only know that these three accidentally burned themselves and set the other quarter in fire.         

    

“FIRE!”
