Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower

Chapter 125 - Dark Moon Branch

The shopkeeper paused for a moment when he heard what Nan Hua said. His eyes narrowed slightly and a smile formed at the corner of his lips. "It turns out that the moon is still bright. Would it be fine for you to wait for a while, Young Miss?"

Nan Hua looked at the shopkeeper calmly. "As long as the night is not too dark, it's fine."

"Very well. Please follow me to wait inside."

Hou Lin was following Nan Hua from a distance, but he still could hear her conversation with the shopkeeper. It was the code that was set up by Dark Moon Organization to recognize insider and outsider. There was rarely anyone who would use the code, though.

Dark Moon Organization might be pretty good, but their fame was still pretty low.

In this warring era, it was not that weird for organization to pop out here and there. There were a lot of people who lost their homes and tried to find a living. If they couldn't be associated with any of the kingdom, they would rather join an organization.

That was how Dark Moon Organization came to.

It was not exactly a new organization, but it hadn't been around for that long either.

Nan Hua was brought to a private room. There were no one else inside the room but Nan Hua could sense someone was watching from above. It was clear that they were having high security in this place to make sure that no one would take advantage of their organization.

'It's a relatively new organization, but they're quite organized.'

Knock! Knock!

The door was pushed open and a man walked in. He was stood rooted in his place when he saw Nan Hua. Even though he had already suspected it when they said that the guest was a young girl that looked no different than a child, he was still surprised to see her coming here.

Nan Hua looked at the man before her and called out, "Fei Mao."

"Y.... Young Miss?" Fei Mao asked carefully. They hadn't settled the way he had to call her, so he was not sure how he should greet Nan Hua.

Nan Hua nodded.

"Why...?" why did you come directly to Dark Moon Headquarter?

Even though Nan Hua knew what Fei Mao wanted to ask, she waved her hand. "I would like to meet with the person in charge."

"Ah? Directly?" Fei Mao asked, stumped.

Nan Hua nodded.

Fei Mao certainly knew Nan Hua's skill because he had seen this little monster in front of him in action. However, he was still afraid because the person in charge was not an ordinary person.

Still, he knew that he couldn't refuse.

"I'll return quickly."

Nan Hua sat on the chair calmly. There were several people who were watching her from a distance but neither one of them made any move. The other three assassins who came with Fei Mao back then were also around and clearly stayed further from her.

They couldn't forget the suffering they experienced when they faced Nan Hua directly.

Neither one of them wished to revisit those memories.

"Who wants to meet me?"

The door was flung open and a woman walked in. Dressed in a fairly new embroidered dress, she looked like a noble woman. However, the suggestive gesture she made as she walked inside revealed her real background almost immediately. Standing before Nan Hua, the woman arched her eyebrows. "This little girl?"

Nan Hua scanned the woman in front of her. "I would like to challenge you."

"Challenge me?" The woman laughed. She put up a faint smile. "Do you really think that you're worthy to challenge me?"

"Why not?"

"Kid, why don't you just..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, the ceiling at the side fell down. The assassin that was previously hiding was stumped and quickly readjusted his position before landing on the ground. He looked at the ceiling in confusion as he was sure that it was supposed to be strong enough to withstand his weight.

The woman looked at Nan Hua. It was a split second's movement and she nearly failed to see it if not for her deep rooted skill. Her eyes narrowed. "Why do you want to challenge me?"

"I want to be the leader of Dark Moon Branch." Nan Hua was direct.

"Are you sure that you're not just running your mouth off? Even if your skill is good, you're nothing more than a little kid. Brat, you're 10 years too early to even thinking of obtaining this position." The woman smirked.

Nan Hua was calm in the face of the blatant provocation in front of her. Her dark obsidian eyes enraptured the scene before her, calculating her chance of winning within the few moments she saw them.

"You better leave before I change my mind..."

Swish!

The woman attacked midway her sentence. She clearly knew that if she didn't take the initiative, it would be impossible for her to win this exchange. In that case, she had to make sure that she attacked first.

Nan Hua effortlessly evaded to the side. Her hand lightly tapped the woman's hand as it passed by her body as her eyes narrowed.

'Arm guard.'

Swish!

The blade on the woman's hand was swung horizontally, attempting to cut through Nan Hua into two.

But it was impossible for Nan Hua to be defeated that easily. Bending her body to the back, she evaded the attack and a blade appeared on her hand. She stepped one step closer and swung her blade.

Slash!

Thump!

Fei Mao was watching from the back and felt his heart dropped when he saw the two of them fought here. In that few moments, he saw them already exchanged several attacks and neither side was wounded.

He quickly retreated to the back in fear of getting implicated in the mess.

"You're fast, but this is your end!" The woman roared and kicked upwards. The knife that was hidden in her legs were now protruding. It seemed that she had hidden countless weapons all around her body.

Jleb!
