[1] Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Ch 401 - 405

Chapter 401 - Sneaking in and Sneaking Out

Swish!

Moving covertly, Nan Hua was silently thinking about what she was planning to do. It would be dawn in an incense stick of time, which meant that she didn't really have much time. She was sure that when it was dawn, the soldiers from Hai Family would also start to move and try to engage in the other soldiers stationed not far from here.

It was a genuine rebellion.

'Should I kill them all?'

However, Nan Hua knew that if she started to kill these people without stopping, the smell of blood would be too much. She had to make sure that she managed to infiltrate without letting them know about her presence.

'In that case, I'll kill one by one.'

Swish!

Nan Hua moved towards the guard who stood by himself and her needle pierced his forehead. It was the long needle that she had prepared for instantly killing her enemies when she couldn't shed any blood.

After killing the guard, Nan Hua pulled him in the direction of the temporary quarters where she and her twin brother stayed. This place already reeked of blood, so adding a few more bodies wouldn't make it known.

When she went back, she saw two guards were walking. They were staying vigilant, but it was clear that they were actually also yawning a lot.

They were all very tired.

"Are we really going to take all the officials children here?"

"The others are already doing that."

"Wouldn't it be a problem if they cause trouble?"

"What could a group of helpless children do?"

Nan Hua's finger moved and killed the two guards as she realized that there was another piece of information that she had gotten after roaming around. They were planning on taking the children of the officials who came here to one place.

It meant, they would surely find out that Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were not in their original place.

'Things are not looking that nice.'

Aside from her who had a body double, the others didn't prepare for such thing. How could they expect that the Hai Family was actually paying close attention to their whereabouts?

Nan Hua wanted to warn those two, but she knew that they were already sneaking further away. All she could do was to kill the guards to slow them down in hope that they thought it was Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai who did it.

That way, they wouldn't try to search outside.

Jleb! Thud!

Another guard fell down and Nan Hua pulled them once more. She would eliminate those in Hai Family's side one by one.

…

Slash!

"Another one," Nan Luo muttered as he sheathed his sword back. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai with pitiful expression. "Are we close to the gate yet?"

"Not yet."

While Nan Hua was staying inside, Feng Ao Kuai, Nan Luo, and their two manservants would head out of Hai Family Residence. The plan sounded good and all when they first thought about it.

But the reality was a bit harsh.

Even though Feng Ao Kuai had already toured Hai Family Residence, the number of guards and their shifts' information was basically incomplete. It was impossible for him to find out everything in such a short period of time.
