Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

1013 It’s Fine

“Two years…?” Qiu Dong’s voice cracked when he heard Nan Hua’s words.

It was not like he doubted Nan Hua, but to plant people into the court required them to pass the heavy screening. There was no way an ordinary commoner would even be allowed to go near the palace.

His current identity was that of a normal lumberjack who had become a servant here yet still worked to cut wood.

How in the world is he supposed to enter the court?

“Not you. You’re not smart enough.”

Qiu Dong: “…”

Should he be happy or sad with this insulting compliment?

“Miss meant for you to arrange for someone else to enter the court,” Chu Yue explained because she knew that Nan Hua didn’t like to speak a lot. Sometimes, people were not used to her straightforward yet short explanation.

Qiu Dong nodded bitterly. He understood that, but he didn’t think that 2 years would really be enough for him to plant people into the court and have their rank high enough to affect the Emperor’s decision.

.....

Would this time be enough?

He highly doubted it.

“Si Bai is making his place in Zhang Sheng City. You can cooperate with him. There are more organization members going with him.”

Si Bai’s father was worried about his son’s future, so he sent a lot of people to follow Si Bai here. Many of them were good experts who had better capabilities than random people they issued mission to.

Naturally, Nan Hua knew Si Mo Fan’s intention, but she didn’t interfere.

In any case, it was fine for Si Bai to have more people following him as it would also ensure the chance for him to successfully develop in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

That alone would be good enough for Nan Hua.

After all, she had altered his future.

“….That old dog is so biased,” Qiu Dong cursed in a low voice.

Nan Hua passed a look at Qiu Dong. “You can also arrange more people for your son if you want to.”

“No. My son didn’t even know my real identity.”

Over the years Qiu Dong stayed at the border between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom, he had also settled down and had a normal identity. His wife knew his real identity, but she was still willing to stay with him. On the other hand, his son didn’t know the truth.

He lived with his mother in the city normally without knowing that his father was not what like he told him.

Qiu Dong didn’t want to involve that brat in his mess.

Unlike Si Mo Fan who decided to let his wife and son lived with him in Mountain Xia, Qiu Dong didn’t have the same courage and resoluteness.

“Finish your work and you will be able to live more normal life.”

Qiu Dong chuckled when he heard what Nan Hua said. He never expected himself to live normally. And besides, he liked this free feeling when he participated in many battles and had to strive to achieve his goal.

To discard this kind of life and resumed normal activities were clearly impossible for him.

He liked this.

And even now, he didn’t want to change everything at all.

“I’m still the leader of Dark Moon Organization North Branch. Don’t underestimate me.” Qiu Dong then turned around. “I’ll try to do what you ordered me to do. I don’t know whether it’ll be successful or not, but I’ll do my best.”

“Good.”

Nan Hua also didn’t know whether Qiu Dong would be successful or not. But as long as he could plant some people inside, it would be more than enough. Later on, she could just interfere directly with Zhang Xu Kingdom in order to make sure that she could help Fei Yang Kingdom.

That would be enough.

…

The chaos resumed and many people were confused.

But when the people heard that there were a lot of poison spread inside the room, they panicked. Some careless soldiers were poisoned when they tried to check the room and saw the bloodied scene.

At the same time, they also found out that these people were all from Poison Deep Organization.

In fact, the leader was there.

This matter naturally couldn’t be publicized, but the Emperor naturally heard about this matter. He was thoroughly angry that there was someone who dared to cause a mess in his territory right in front of his eyes.

He ordered heavy search on everyone who stayed in that area.

For the next several days, it was chaos.

Everyone was suspicious of other people and once they found anyone acting suspiciously, they would definitely report the person.

Thus, the Ministry of Justice was so busy every single day.

Nan Hua stayed still within her inn, living her life normally as she had always been. The people around her also acted without any difference compared to before they acted.

No one could catch anything.

For people like them who had been acting for their entire life, just a few more days acting was nothing much. They could easily act out a different person as long as it was necessary.

The most important matter was for them to stay alive.

Qiu Dong was also staying low.

He acted stupid as if he was nothing more than a village boy who was recruited to help. Even those around him looked down on him.

But Qiu Dong didn’t seem to care.

In addition, he was no longer a young man.

Many patched on his head had already turned white, making him looked like a person who didn’t have much future and only know how to split wood.

In the end, the people left.

After a few days, they just found a scapegoat for the incident and suppressed the matter. They didn’t know who did it and the Emperor was so angry that the Ministry of Justice could only do it like this.

It was not like they didn’t want to catch the culprit.

But there was completely no lead.
