The snow will erase more traces that she had left behind.
It was not that bad.
Knock! Knock!
"Miss, Old Master would like to meet with you during breakfast."
"I understand."
Xiao Yun entered and then helped Nan Hua to change her clothes. Even though Nan Hua could do it by herself, it was faster if she was helped by Xiao Yun. Looking at the complexion on Xiao Yun's face, it seemed that she had long gotten used with the battles.
Not long ago, she was accompanying Ku to be captured and did her work splendidly as her maidservant.
Nan Hua looked at Xiao Yun for a moment. "You did good, Xiao Yun."
"Miss?" Xiao Yun was startled. She raised her head and saw Nan Hua's clear gaze as a smile formed on the corner of her lips. Ever since a long time ago, she had vowed that she would do anything to make sure that Nan Hua would be treated well. Hearing recognition from Nan Hua after working for so long was worth it.
She knew how much her Miss had closed off her heart, thus Xiao Yun was happy that Nan Hua was willing to at least acknowledge her effort.
"I'm only doing what I'm supposed to do." Xiao Yun smiled.
Nan Hua nodded.
The two of them then walked to the dining room. The place they were staying was not the Hai Family Palace but an inn that was located not far from it. Old Master Nan booked the entire inn for the soldiers and also for the officials to stay there.
Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were already waiting when Nan Hua reached the dining room. Their manservant, Si Kang and Xiao Yan were standing behind their respective master to make sure that there was nothing wrong.
"Hua'er!" Nan Luo waved his hand happily.
Nan Hua noticed that Nan Luo's right hand was still bandaged heavily. Even though her twin brother acted as if it was nothing, it was clear that he was not allowed to use his right hand too much.
"Luo, are your hand still hurt?" Nan Hua asked as she walked closer.
"Ah, it's fine." Nan Luo grinned.
"Young Master, the doctor warned you not to exert your right hand if you still wish to use sword in the future," Xiao Yan mercilessly reminded.
Nan Luo's face darkened. "Xiao Yan! Why are you revealing this?"
However, Xiao Yan didn't answer and only stared back. It was clear that he was annoyed because Nan Luo didn't listen to the doctor. It was Nan Luo's body and not his, but he was the one who should worry.
It was so tiring to have such a childish master!
"Luo, don't move your right hand." Nan Hua walked closer and checked her twin brother's hand. She took out a needle and silently adjusted the position of the muscle to ease the pain. It was hard to do it from this position, but she didn't have any means to fully cure him right now either.
This would only alleviate his pain a bit.
"Ouch…Hua'er…" Nan Luo was giving a pitiful look to his sister.
"Sit down." Old Master Nan waved his hand, beckoning for the servants to serve the food before waving them away. He smiled when he saw the children were all looking at the food in front of them.
"I believe that you haven't told me everything yesterday," When all the servants have left, Old Master Nan started.
"What do you want to ask us, Grandfather?" Nan Luo asked curiously.
"The name list."
Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai froze when they heard what Old Master Nan said. They didn't tell him that they managed to convince the soldiers because of the name list that was given to them. They only said that they gave some speech.
But from asking the commander and the soldiers, Old Master Nan found out the truth right away.
"We found it," Feng Ao Kuai decided to tell Old Master Nan the truth. There were no one else inside this room aside from them and there were several guards guarding in secret. "Someone give it to us."
"Who?" Old Master Nan furrowed his eyebrows.
"Master Jiu from Dark Moon Organization."
"Nine?" Old Master Nan was stunned then nodded. This was not the first time he heard about Dark Moon Organization, but he didn't think that there would be someone from there helping them.
Nan Luo scratched the back of his head. "We're actually also confused why they help us… But since he didn't say anything and only leaving that name list and several more items, we chose to take the gamble."
"I see."
