Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 1188

?

Nan Hua looked at the key in Long Qian Xing's hand, her black obsidian eyes deepened but there were no words she said.

The two of them entered the door and Long Qian Xing conveniently took a torch for him to use. On the other hand, Nan Hua didn't even bother to take one. She had been living in the darkness for so long that her eyes could learn to naturally adapt at the fastest speed even when there was no source of light.

Click!

Long Qian Xing closed the door again.

The only light within the dark tunnel was the torch that Long Qian Xing was holding. He looked at Nan as his chin pointed forward. "You walk first."

He couldn't sense Nan's presence in the slightest bit, so the safest option for him to protect himself was by letting Nan walked first. Anyway, the key is still in his hand so if Nan wanted to get out, 'he' will need him.

Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing, nodding and then continued walking.

Even though she knew that he was suspicious of her, she didn't try to soothe his suspicion more than necessary. After all, she knew that words were useless when talking with Long Qian Xing.

He would not easily trust someone else's words.

And she had no intention of showing her real identity just yet. It was indeed the beginning of autumn, but she was still thinking about another way to tell him that Nan is actually Nan Hua.

As for why she didn't reveal her identity as Princess Jun?

That would be a bit harder to explain and there were too many complicated background involved.

Nan Hua felt that it would be better for him to know about it slowly in the future.

The two of them were silent.

Nan Hua was looking at the hidden route in front of her and glanced to the side. If she was not wrong, this secret route should be parallel with the secret route that was designed for escape by Wei Da Kingdom's founder.

Every palace had their own escape and secret route. Some were built in the very beginning and some others were added later on.

This place is very old.

It seemed that no one had been here for so many years considering the dampness and the wall that Nan Hua saw.

'There's still ventilation, but it wouldn't be enough to support a lot of people here.'

Nan Hua's eyes narrowed.

It seemed that the founder had already calculated that if a lot of people were to come here, they would eventually die before they could reach the deepest area. That way, the secret would be intact unless the one who came here were only one to three people.

But the problem is…

Nan Hua suddenly stopped. "There's a trap at the front. Bypass the step in front of you if you don't want to trigger it."

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows and watched as Nan took a wider step. Looking down, he could faintly see the somewhat different steps below and his eyes narrowed slightly.
