Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1055: Tiger Group

Thunk!     

A knife passed by, landing on the ground in front of Nan Hua. The next moment, a woman in black clothing dashed towards Nan Hua with her sickle like weapon.     

Swish! Clang!     

Nan Hua narrowed her eyes and twisted her body before raising her dagger, using it to protect her arm. Her reaction speed was top notch. There was not even a moment of hesitation or even worry.     

At this moment, Nan Hua was exceedingly calm and composed.     

The woman's eyes gleamed and she jumped back.     

'Chen Yuan's right hand.'     

Nan Hua had seen the other party a few times in the past. This woman had been accompanying Chen Yuan in many matters and most of the time, Nan Hua would see her protecting Chen Yuan.     

Being a blind person, it was not easy for Chen Yuan to interact as if she could see on daily basis.     

And in terms of protection, it was clear that this young woman one of few who was the best at it. Her sickle like weapon moved rapidly as she tried to get close to Nan Hua, trying to break her defense.     

Clang!     

Nan Hua was not even thinking as she raised her hand, blocking the attack. Her eyes flickered slightly as she suddenly moved her body and parried the woman's next attack before kicking her straight on her stomach.     

Thump!     

*cough*     

Rolling on the ground, the woman looked at Nan Hua with complicated mood. It was then she saw Nan Hua took out the necklace that Chen Yuan gave to her. She looked at it once more before dropping one knee to the ground.     

No matter how unwilling she was, she knew that the rule would never change.     

She could never have any emotions towards the masters she served because their lives were always in constant danger. When the next leader was selected, she would have to serve the leader.     

Without fail.     

"Lan Fei Lin greets Master."     

Nan Hua looked at the necklace and then at Lan Fei Lin front of her. Truth to be told, she had long known about this necklace, even before Chen Yuan gave it to her and included the explanation in the scroll.     

She even suspected that Chen Yuan was not the one who write it.     

The bamboo scroll was older than that.     

It must have been from the previous leaders or even the previous one before that.     

"Get up."     

"Yes, Master."         

Lan Fei Lin stood up straight. She looked at Nan Hua as she suppressed whatever thoughts she had inside her mind. After spending so much time with Chen Yuan, it was impossible for her not to be affected to a certain degree.     

She knew how much Chen Yuan had worked hard for her entire life. And yet, everything just seemed to fall apart the moment she realized that her time was limited. It looked like the Heaven was punishing her for slaughtering the entire Chen Family back then.     

And now that Chen Yuan had passed the necklace, Lan Fei Lin knew that she had to be loyal to the new leader.     

After adjusting her mind for a moment, Lan Fei Lin soon calmed down.     

She was selected ever since she was a kid in order to be part of this group and those who couldn't survive the harsh training had all died. They were trained to be loyal to anyone who hold the necklace.     

"You're giving your loyalty even though you know what had happened between me and your previous master?" Nan Hua asked.     

"We're trained to be loyal to the one who hold the necklace no matter who the previous master is and what their relationship with the new master." Lan Fei Lin had already completely calmed down.     

"I see."     

Nan Hua looked at the necklace in her hand and shook her head slightly.     

Tiger Group.     

That was the name of the group that was controlled by this necklace. They were from a small group at the south where they were infamous for having a total of 12 people in the group. But each of them were incredibly skilled to the point that there was no one who could contend against them.     

Their task was to protect their master and the village.     

Sadly, the village was eventually destroyed and the man left with half of the Tiger Group as half of them had died.     

Each member of the Tiger Group was extremely loyal to the man who held the necklace. No matter who that person is, they would give their lives to them if it was necessary.     

Just like her own.     

The difference was that they were not trained to be loyal, but they were forced to be loyal to the organization. They didn't have any other choice but to follow the organization if they still wanted to stay alive.     

Nan Hua gripped the necklace tighter. "How many are still alive?"     

"Including me, there are a total of four people," Lan Fei Lin replied respectfully.     

The four of them were working under Chen Yuan all this time. They were not always around, but they would do their work well.     

Nan Hua pointed at the girl inside. "Bring her to Dark Moon Organization. There's someone there who can raise her."     

"Yes, Master."     

Another man appeared and walked inside. The young girl raised her voice happily when she saw him and babbled some words, raising her hand excitedly.     

The man carried her up expressionlessly.     

Nan Hua looked at the young girl and asked in a low voice, "What's her name?"     

"Chen Ji Yue."         

"Good name." Nan Hua nodded and walked out of the place. She looked at the young girl once more and then left.     

At the very least, there was indeed someone who could raise this girl without anyone feeling that it was strange. However, it would be impossible for Chen Ji Yue to live a normal life.     

Nan Hua knew that before the war was over, it would be hard for Nan Hua to arrange her to live in the cities without attracting attention. She would take care of this matter in the future.
