Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518 Key into the Past

Guard Zhang?

Hearing that name, Nan Hua's eyes flickered.

It was a name that she herself was unfamiliar too, but several images flashed in her mind right after Xiao Yun said that. Part of the memory of when Nan Hua was staying in Nan Family Residence when she was still small reappeared once more inside her mind. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

Guard Zhang was one of the few guards who came from her mother's maternal family. But on the year of her mother's death, Guard Zhang was kicked out by Nan Shu Cheng. As it had happened before Old Master Nan's return, Nan Hua didn't know about him at all.

He disappeared.

Or more exactly, he was hiding himself in order to not let anyone found him. Now, he seemed to be trying to leave the Capital City by mingling with the group of refugee who were trying to leave the Capital City five years after the accident.

By now, the security had turned lax as not many people would still remember the past incident.

"Xiao Yun, let's go back." Nan Hua showed a symbol with her hand.

Xiao Yun nodded as she understood. There was a trace of anxiety and excitement within her eyes that she suppressed as hard as possible. It was all because she was elated to see that Guard Zhang was still alive yet at the same time, she was worried that there would be other people who knew about this.

After all, she knew that Guard Zhang was the person who was staying very close to Madam Nan back then and attended to her longer than her. She could only remember bits and pieces while Guard Zhang was the clearest about what had happened back then.

Shangguan Die was only watching for a brief moment before returning. The people there had some conflicts with the monk because of their sudden appearance. However, the Temple agreed to provide them with shelter for the night.

Tomorrow, they would leave.

Guard Zhang was within the group of people. He was anxious because he didn't know how long he would have to stay within the group and whether he would successfully escape or not. Many years had passed, yet he still didn't have any confidence for his success.

Those people might still be waiting in ambush to catch him.

He was afraid of that.

As he walked into the small quarter that the Temple provided for them, he closed the door and locked it from inside. He feared that there might be someone who wanted to pry inside and found out about his real identity.

That would be really bad.

Swish!

A bamboo strip landed on the ground beside him, startling Guard Zhang so much that he nearly jumped. He looked down at the bamboo strip beside him, his eyes flickered in fear and confusion.

'What is that?'
