FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 162 - I Trust Her



Cai Yun Shao was stunned when he heard Nan Hua's words. While it would make the information passing a bit more difficult, they would be able to screen it better. And if something happened to the informant, they only needed to change the person to contact the lowest one.

It was like a tree.

Him was the root and then he would have several people as the pillars. These people would contact several people who would then branched out. Each branch could then have several people who were at the lowest rungs, which was like the flowers or the leaves of the tree.

The leaves would have no contact with the pillars and even more so, they would not know about the root.

"I see. But this will not be enough." Cai Yun Shao looked at the gold tael and laughed dryly. He could change it to silvers then to coppers but if he wanted to pull adults in this 'game' there was no way this little money would be enough.

"Make it small first. When Heng Xing City starts to thrive, there'll be more opportunity to earn money."

"Alright."

Nan Hua stood up. "Find someone named Zhang Dan Shui who had just come from the Capital City. Work together with him."

Zhang Dan Shui?

Cai Yun Shao was stunned. The word 'from the capital' already made him extremely speechless. He didn't think that there would be a chance for him to meet with an official who used to be at such powerful position.

"You don't have to see me out."

"Ok."

Cai Yao Shu noticed that his father was sitting dazedly. He nudged the other party. "Father, can you tell us what happened?"

"Ah, well, in short, it's like this…"

Of course, Cai Yun Shao couldn't tell everything. He could only say that Young Miss Hua helped him to get out of the underground prison and allowed him to return to his previous position. At the same time, she also held a bit higher position compared to him.

Cai Yao Lin blinked her eyes. "Dad, in the past year, do you suffer a lot?"

She could see that her father was thinner than before. Her heart ached at the thought that her father was suffering.

"It's fine. I'm still alive, right? That's what's important." Cai Yun Shao smiled. If not because he still wanted to see his family, he would have never preserve in that Leader Dou's hand. To think that it was actually from another organization.

"Father, are you going to follow her now?" Cai Yao Shu furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't really like Young Miss Hua but when he saw her, he could sense the faint oppression that was buried deeply within her bones. It caused him to feel scared and at the same time, wondering what could possibly make someone much younger than him exuded that kind of pressure.

Cai Yun Shao was silent for a bit. "I trust her."

"Alright. I'll start working on this project tomorrow."

"Good boy, Ah Shu."

"Stop treating me like a kid, ah!"

In the midst of darkness, Nan Hua silently returned to the location where the Nan Family resided for the time being. She sneaked into her grandfather's temporary quarter and stopped outside his room.

"Grandfather, I have returned."

Old Master Nan hadn't slept yet. It had long past midnight, but he was worried for Nan Hua, thus he couldn't sleep. When he heard the familiar voice of his granddaughter, Old Master Nan heaved a sigh of relief.

He walked to the door and opened it slightly so that he could see her. The moment the door was open, he could faintly smell the metallic tang of blood. His eyebrows creased as he looked at his granddaughter worriedly.

"Hua'er, are you injured?"

"No, it's not mine."

"That's good." Old Master Nan sighed.

Nan Hua scrutinized Old Master Nan in front of her and felt a bit loss. "Grandfather, are you not going to ask anything?"

"What should I ask?" Old Master Nan laughed lightly. He extended his hand and patted Nan Hua's head tenderly. "I trust you, Hua'er."

Trust.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes, feeling a strange warm feeling in her heart. There was nothing called trust in her entire life. The moment they trusted someone else meant that they were leaving their back open for the other party to hurt them. It was something that they could never do in their entire life.

But in this new family, new identity, and new world, Nan Hua kept on encountering these strange terms and newfound feelings.

"Mhm." Nan Hua nodded stiffly.

"Go to sleep after you wash up. I'll dispose the clothes later."

"Yes, Grandfather."

Right now, Nan Hua sounded so obedient that one wouldn't be able to associate her with the cold blooded assassin who killed so many people just now. She swiftly retreated and blended into the darkness as she returned to her residence, leaving no trace of her existence in this courtyard.

Old Master Nan watched as his granddaughter left as complicated feelings stemmed deep within his heart. He sighed slightly. "Hou Lin, report."

"Yes."

Hou Lin gave short report of what had happened. He summarized each event and also what Nan Hua did. His heart was also in turmoil because he really didn't believe that such a young girl could do something like this.

After it was done, Old Master Nan already sat on his bed. "I see."

"Master, I…"

"What is it, Hou Lin?"

"Master, I'm worried about Young Miss. She's so capable and the only reason why I can follow her is because she consented to it. What if she goes the wrong path because of her capabilities?" Hou Lin expressed his worries.

The difference between genius and madman was only an extremely thin line. Those who were blessed with amazing talent might not be able to be accepted by normal people. And because of their capabilities, it was not impossible for them to use it in order to realize some kind of crazy dreams.

That might even end up causing the loss of numerous people's lives.

It was because First Young Miss Nan was so capable at such a young age that Hou Lin was worried. If she went down the wrong path, would it be possible for them to stop her? Judging from the way she had been growing so far, she would soon surpass what they could possibly achieve in their entire life.

It might be a bit vexing, but some people were indeed gifted.

Old Master Nan shook his head. "I believe in my granddaughter. Also, the reason she's still allowing you to see is to reassure me too. That way, I can see her progress."

Hou Lin couldn't refute that. It was just that, he felt Old Master Nan trusted his daughter a bit too much.

"Is it not too early to trust her so much, Master?"

"No." Old Master Nan let out a faint laugh. He looked into a distance as sorrow permeated within his eyes. "I never trusted my children and shackled them, not allowing them to do what they want. Now that I'm the one guiding my grandchildren, I will never let the same mistake repeat."

Hou Lin was silent at this sentence.
