Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 825: Feng Family Force

At this moment, Feng Ao Kuai sprawled on the ground. He felt that the reason why Nan Luo got beaten up so badly all this time must be because of this too. It seemed that Nan Luo asked him to be the one to go back so that he wouldn't be beaten up.     

When he got back, he would settle the score with Nan Luo.     

Nan Luo, who was staying with the army, suddenly felt chills on his back. He felt that he really should hide right now, or there would be something bad happened to him.     

"Tell me, why are you here?" Old Master Nan snorted.     

"Grandfather, I have told you that I'm here to pay a visit to Hua'er." Feng Ao Kuai rubbed his back as he stood up. He felt that his grandfather hadn't held back in the slightest bit when beating him up just now.     

It felt really hurt.     

"Because of what happened to Nan Family?" Old Master Nan narrowed his eyes.     

"Yes."     

"Where's Nan Luo?"     

"He chose to stay back."     

Old Master Nan clicked his tongue in pity. If only Nan Luo was here, he would ensure that he beat up that brat until there was nothing but pulp left. He was sure that the one who was worried the most must be Nan Luo.     

Nan Luo, who had just recovered slightly, suddenly fell the second chill. He looked around him and felt that the temperature shouldn't have dropped that much. Why did he feel as if he was in an ice cave?     

Feng Ao Kuai was speechless.     

He turned to look at Nan Hua. Upon seeing that Nan Hua was fine, he felt relieved. What he actually wanted to know was whether Nan Hua was getting dragged by the matter of the Nan Family or not.     

If she did…     

He would make sure that the Nan Family paid for what they had done. He would also arrange for the rumors to spread to make sure that Nan Hua would not be implicated further by what had happened in Nan Family.     

"Grandfather, may I talk with Hua'er for a moment?" Feng Ao Kuai asked.     

Old Master Nan snorted. "Do you think that I'll say no? Just don't do anything stupid. You're just a mere 300 men young commander who should have stayed on the battlefield. For you to stay here right now, do you really treat military order as fart?"     

"Grandfather, my unit is stationed not far outside the Capital City."     

"…What are you doing here?"     

"There are reports of some suspicious movement, so we're stationed here. I have already arranged for my men to watch the area for the time being." Feng Ao Kuai was not that irresponsible to leave without giving an order to his men. He had to make sure that his men were in their post and could operate without him before leaving.     

It was impossible for him to stay there when he heard the news about what had happened to Nan Family. Even Nan Luo came barging into his tent, asking him to find out what had happened to Nan Hua when Nan Family was implicated.     

In the end, he chose to depart right away.     

Nan Luo couldn't leave because he was not as capable as Feng Ao Kuai.     

"I see."         

Old Master Nan looked at his second grandson and sighed deeply. He felt that he was really old right now. When he was young, he was naturally more courageous and had taken even riskier attempts compared to what Feng Ao Kuai was doing right now.     

But now, he had so many matters that he had to consider. There was no way he would be able to act impulsively like what he did in his youth.     

"Grandfather, may I talk with my younger cousin?" Feng Ao Kuai asked again carefully. He didn't want to get a second beating.     

"Fine. Just make sure no one sees you here."     

"Don't worry, Grandfather."     

Old Master Nan snorted and left the Ning Shu Pavilion. He knew that the two of them had things they wanted to discuss in private. Right now, all he wanted was to have some fresh air and to contemplate the movement that he was supposed to do.     

Feng Ao Kuai cupped his fist toward Nan Hua. "Hua'er, the rumors can be quite vicious even though Grandfather had already pacified it through his action. Would you like it if I spread other rumors instead to divert their attention?"     

"There's no need."     

Nan Hua naturally knew that her image was divided into two. One of them felt that she was nothing more than a pitiful young lady. The other one felt that she must have been involved and should be punished.     

But it didn't matter to her.     

"I understand."     

"Tell me more about the areas around it. Why did they give you an order to patrol the area?" Nan Hua asked.     

"Some children are missing." Feng Ao Kuai took the seat beside Nan Hua. "From the children of various officials to the children on the street. I received some pieces of news from Dark Moon and also the other soldiers. Most of them leave without any traces of fighting, which means they're going willingly.     

But where they go and what will happen to them, I don't know for sure. The higher up asked me to guard the south area in order to monitor whoever is leaving."     

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "Why south?"     

"The other areas are guarded by others. Nan Luo is cooperating with me in the south," Feng Ao Kuai added.     

"I see."     

"Do you know where they are going?"     

"North."     

"North?"     

"Mhm." Not only that, but Nan Hua also knew who took them and why he took the children. However, Nan Hua didn't want to get involved in this matter.     

The children who came to him had to pass one test before they were allowed to come:     

Kill the person closest to them.     

That way, they would have no attachment anymore.     

The criteria were similar to what Nan Hua had experienced before she was allowed to take a real mission in her original world. However, it was different because the real reason why the man wanted the children to be ruthless was because he wanted to test their bottom limit.         

They were not being threatened by him, but he simply offered a deal that was profitable for both him and the children. If they believed him, they could choose to do what he asked them to do and then follow him. But if they didn't, he also didn't mind.     

And right now, some of the children were forced by the situation because many of them would be executed the next day along with many others. They could either run away, run away and find that man, or stay to wait for their death.     

If they picked the second option, they would have to fulfil the condition he had set for them when he met those kids for the first time.     

As long as they had no bottom limit, it meant that they were suitable for him.     

As for their skill?     

He didn't care about that too much because he would be able to teach them and allow them to do what he wanted to do. And there was basically no other option but to follow him or die when they decided to take his hand.     

"Do you want me to alarm the army?" Feng Ao Kuai frowned.     

"No need."     

"Why?"     

"There's another person who will handle this matter in the future." Nan Hua shook her head. "And the organization backing them is a bit ruthless and annoying. It's better if they pay their attention to others and not us."     

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He only came here because it was the military order, but he was not a saint. If Nan Hua told him that those people were too troublesome to deal with, it meant that she might have to act personally to deal with them.     

It would be better for them not to get involved.     

"Would it be fine?" Feng Ao Kuai was a bit worried.     

"It's fine." Nan Hua looked into the distance. "He's simply gathering children whose set values are not fixed yet, but they've already crossed the bottom line and will continue to do so."     

Because unlike her who had to do it because she had to defend herself, they were all willing to do it. Just like her old friend… who tried to kill her.     

Nan Hua closed her eyes and then opened them once more. She didn't want to remember those days anymore. It would be better for her not to remember those events anymore and continue what she wanted to do.     

This is a different world.     

She's no longer shackled by that organization and had to do what they asked her to do.     

"Okay."     

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. Helping those kinds of children wouldn't get them people who would repay what they were given but rather feed thankless children. It would be better for him not to help them as the matter would be rather troublesome.
