Chapter 289 - The Plan
Chapter 289 – The Plan
How come the name of this young girl was the same as the one who should be Nan Hua's servant?
"Age?"
"I'm 14," Xiao Xi replied. She was thin and skinny, totally unlike that of 14 years old girl. There were also many callouses on her hand, the sign of working hard that was far beyond her age.
"13," Ku answered soon afterwards.
Nan Hua was looking at the two of them for a moment before turning her head to look at the dancers. "Are there any request related to Nan Hua?"
The dancers were stunned.
"This… we don't know."
"Call Nan San here."
Soon, Nan San hurriedly came inside. Upon hearing the question, Nan San felt his heart leapt onto his throat. He was sure that this question must be very important considering that Nan Hua had given them Nan surname all of the sudden.
Taking care of the bamboo strips and all the parchment that recorded the mission, Nan San quickly browsed all of that. Not finding any in their branch's request, he asked for those from other areas.
Soon, Nan San found it.
"Yes, Miss. There's a spying request for Nan Hua. The price is still pretty low right now so no one is considering to take the job," Nan San reported truthfully.
Nan Hua had been waiting while watching the dancers practiced. She stretched her slender hand and Nan San put the bamboo strip on her hand.
Upon reading the request along with the requester, a cold glint appeared on her eyes. It seemed that the reason why the original Nan Hua fell and eventually died was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
It was not a simple because of her foolishness to fall in love with Long Qian Xing and chased him relentlessly.
"Take note of this request. If the amount of money offered reach an acceptable range in your opinion to take risk, tell me immediately."
Nan San was stunned. "Yes, Miss."
Nan Hua then walked to the front where Fei Mao was already waiting. Right now, Fei Mao was looking at Nan San with pity. After all, Fei Mao knew very well that Nan Hua's identity was that of the First Miss of Nan Family.
Asking her own organization to spy on their leader, who would be crazy enough to do that?
"Where's the location of the main branch?"
"The main branch is on top of the Xia Mountain." Fei Mao looked at Nan Hua and a bit hesitant. "The location is a bit tricky and even I don't know the exact route."
Xia Mountain?
There were several mountains at the border between Fei Yang Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom. However, Xia Mountain was located slightly further into Wei Da Kingdom, which meant that it was quite a distance away from here.
Even if Nan Hua raced all night, she would only be able to reach Xia Mountain by tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. It was simply impossible for her to head over to the headquarter now.
'I have to wait until the war with Wei Da Kingdom.'
Nan Hua pushed her plan to the back. Since it was the case, she would just seize this opportunity to make sure that she could fight back with the other two organizations and not easily blown up.
"Cover up the matter. Also…"
Swish! Jleb! Thud!
A man fell down from the rooftop.
Nan Hua's gaze was cold and indifferent. "Take care of the rats."
"Yes, Miss."
Fei Mao looked at the fallen man and sighed in his heart. For some reason, he felt that Dark Moon Organization would surely soar under Nan Hua's lead. A smile formed at the corner of his lips when he thought that.
Swish!
The rest of the night was quiet.
Nan Hua go back to her own residence and slipped into her room as if there was nothing that happened. At the door, Xiao Yun was still guarding loyally, making sure that there were not even any ants that could escape her surveillance.
When it was morning, Mu Yan came with a basin of water for wash up. Xiao Yun nodded and knocked on the door carefully.
"Miss, are you awake?"
Nan Hua opened her eyes. "Help me up."
Xiao Yun and Mu Yan entered the room. Even though they might know that Nan Hua was away at the night before, they acted as if there was nothing that happened and helped Nan Hua to dress up.
By now, Nan Hua had already gotten used with these two helping her to dress up. Even if she could actually use the dress by herself, it was more complicated and hard. Thus, she didn't reject them helping her out.
Xiao Yun noticed that Nan Hua's eyes looked a bit more relaxed. It seemed that her Miss really do like to do her night activities of slipping out.
"Miss, would you like to head out today?" Xiao Yun asked softly. She knew that Nan Hua barely slept enough for rest the night before because she was way, which was why she asked this.
Nan Hua nodded. "Master must be waiting for me, so I would like to meet with him."
"In that case, Miss should wear plainer clothes. This way, there wouldn't be anyone who pay much attention to Miss." Xiao Yun smiled. She then peeked at Nan Hua's countenance and began to really wonder whether it was possible for Nan Hua not to attract attention.
Nan Hua was simply too pretty.
Mu Yan giggled. "Sister Yun must be kidding. Miss will still attract attention with her beauty."
"You're right. If only I can have skin as fair as Miss, I'll be all over the moon."
Nan Hua blinked her eyes. For some reason, the two of them really liked to praise her covertly like this in the morning when they were dressing her up. She began to wonder whether it was the habit of maidservants during ancient times or something.
However, their words were not laden with any malicious intent, so Nan Hua had no reason to stop them from praising her either.
The days in Feng Family was spent peacefully.
General Feng return to his post for a month before going back home because of some matters. He got small punishment but he didn't seem to care in the slightest bit.
During the time he was away, Nan Hua spent her time training on the separate courtyard or head out to visit her Master and Ninth Senior Sister to learn about medicine. The cold winter soon passed and soon, it would be New Year.
Not only Nan Hua was busy training, her twin brother and two cousins were also doing whatever they could in order to train harder. Only the addition Feng Mo Xing was spending his time either in his courtyard or to go around the city, playing around.
No matter how much his father scolded him, Feng Mo Xing didn't seem to care in the slightest bit.
Thus, Feng Qian Bo couldn't do anything.
It was very peaceful, but peace would never last long.
What they didn't expect was that they would receive a guest during New Year.
