Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 64

Nan Hua nodded. She narrowed her eyes. "Is it too late to head over to the other secret passageway?"

Hou Lin furrowed his eyebrows. "They haven't reached the main hall yet. There might be a lot of soldiers waiting for them over there. Compared to this place, which only have one commander and several soldiers, there might be more people over at that side."

"I see. Let's go."

"Young Esteemed Miss?" Zhang Dan Shui was stunned to see Nan Hua ready to leave. He looked around him and felt awkward being left alone with so many dead bodies.

Nan Hua turned to look at Zhang Dan Shui. "What do you want?"

"Can I… work for you?" Zhang Dan Shui asked while gritting his teeth. He could guess that with his life already spared by this young girl, it might be a bit too much to ask. But he knew that having the chance to meet with them like this today would be extremely rare.

He didn't think that he would have another chance in the next few years.

"Young Miss, don't trust him." Hou Lin had already investigated Zhang Family and that family was not exactly a good one.

Zhang Dan Shui bowed down. "I'm nothing more than a concubine born son, so I might not worth much. However, I can show you my capabilities if you wish for me to. I'm just afraid that… I'll need protection."

Nan Hua shook her head. "Do you think a girl can enter the court?"

A girl…

Enter the court?

For a moment, Zhang Dan Shui forgot that the person who was talking with him was nothing more than a girl. He gulped his saliva down as he looked at the young girl in front of him, clearly feeling unsure about what he should say.

Waving his hand, Nan Hua turned her body around once more. "I'm Nan Hua. If you can survive this without anyone being suspicious of you, you can look for me in the future."

Nan Hua?

Zhang Dan Shui was flabbergasted but Nan Hua and Hou Lin had already disappeared into the darkness. He stood still in his place as he mulled the name.

"Nan Hua, the first daughter of Nan Family?" Zhang Dan Shui was trembling when he thought to himself. The name was not that unfamiliar to him since Nan Hua was one of the rare few high standing main daughter in the Capital City.

While Nan Shu Cheng was nothing more than a slightly high ranked official, Old Master Nan was a famed general. If not because of his old age and also the recent injury, it was clear that Old Master Nan's name would ring at the battlefield without stopping.

'Survive this…?'

Zhang Dan Shui looked at the mess around him as he silently closed the door and entered the side hall once more. He knew that the only person who knew that he was locked inside the side hall would be his younger brother.

As long as he got out of the side hall, everything would be fine.

A bitter smile formed at the corner of Zhang Dan Shui's lips. It might cause his younger brother to torment him more in the residence but he was sure that he could escape with his life from this incident safely.
