1092 The Scrolls
Long Qian Xing narrowed his eyes.
He pushed the thought to the back of his mind and motioned for Long Xu to follow him. It was good that the soldiers who were around this place were all his men, but he didn’t want to publicize this matter if it was possible.
Before long, he reached the camp again.
“The next time you see her, you can be the one to respond directly. She’s from Dark Moon Organization and had quite a high position.”
Long Xu was stumped. He originally thought that everyone from Dark Moon Organization should be powerful men who were so strong and fast. But that person who just came was clearly an attractive woman, right?
He was utterly speechless.
However, he pulled himself together and cupped his fist. “Yes, Master.”
“You can go now.”
After Long Qian Xing entered his tent, Long Xu rubbed his eyes and sighed deeply. Who would have thought that his worldview would be overturned so quickly like this?
.....
Then he recalled the Mountain Tribe.
Even their leader was such a strong woman… Despite the harsh rumors going around the Mountain Tribe people, it was also an undeniable fact that they were all very powerful and didn’t seem to be like the rumors at all.
‘I should stop judging people by their appearance.’
While Long Xu was lamenting how he couldn’t see the world clearly, Long Qian Xing opened the box. He used a knife to break the wax before looking at the content. Several bamboo scrolls were neatly placed inside.
He picked the first one and read it.
It contained the information about the books that Master Jiu managed to find amongst Luo Qing Wei’s bag and Kuang Shen’s place. At the same time, it also added two more books from a different source.
‘Different source?’
Long Qian Xing furrowed his eyebrows and picked one of them. He unfurled the bamboo scroll and planned to read the content.
But he paused.
The handwriting was neat and looked graceful. However, that was not the main point. Long Qian Xing swore that he would never be able to forget this handwriting no matter how much time had passed.
It was Hua’er.
It’s her handwriting.
Long Qian Xing read the content and realized that it was actually a recipe of medicine that could be used as incense stick or even fragrance pouch. The information was detailed and there was even a note that Dark Moon Organization Leader Xi was making them for the time being.
He took a deep breath and took a look at the others, skimming through the contents.
Aside from two scrolls that seemed to be written by Nan Hua, the rest had different handwriting.
‘Hua’er is with Dark Moon Organization?’
Long Qian Xing’s eyes gleamed.
Nan Family never showed that they were close to Dark Moon Organization even once. In fact, Old Master Nan and Nan Luo never showed any kind of strange activities that revolved Dark Moon Organization.
But…
They did stay in Han Zhong City for nearly three years.
Han Zhong City was not far from Xia Mountain. If they did have some connection during that period of time, it could be said that not many people would know. After all, people from Dark Moon Organization were known for their ability to blend with the crowd.
Take that Leader Xi for example.
If not for her dressing in similar attire and acted similarly, Long Qian Xing was sure that a lot of people would never be able to recognize her. The wine smell around her was still as strong as ever.
But she was capable of disappearing within few seconds.
And who would have thought that such a woman would actually be an assassin?
Not the type of weak assassin who could only rely on their beauty to attract others, but truly confident in their strength.
The other members of Dark Moon Organization must be similar.
Master Jiu was small.
Much smaller than him, but Long Qian Xing had seen that such a small person was capable of killing so many people at once. He was so dangerous, yet if people were to see him, they would never be able to guess it at all.
‘Nan Hua is also in Han Zhong City for three years, so she might have interacted with them during that period of time.’
Long Qian Xing looked at the bamboo scrolls in front of him and took a deep breath. Nan Family was concealing their connection with Dark Moon Organization, which might be one of the reasons why they couldn’t tell him about Nan Hua’s whereabouts.
If she was within Xia Mountains, how could they tell him that?
Tell him that the Nan Family was in an amiable relationship with an assassin organization that many people were watching?
The Nan Family would be in danger.
It was good that they could grow stronger, but if they were too strong, the Emperor would naturally put them on the watch list and would never allow them to truly thrive. Not only the Emperor, there were many others who would be dissatisfied with him for having so much power.
That was why, it would be better to let Dark Moon Organization stand by itself.
And the connection with others were only shown to be nothing more than beneficial relationship that was close to trade.
‘I did it with Lin Yuan too.’
When dealing with Lin Yuan, Long Qian Xing made sure that they appeared as if they were only having businessman and customer relationship. He would never anyone to know that he was actually close friends with Lin Yuan.
But that was not the main point.
What was more important was another matter.
Which was Nan Hua’s whereabouts.
Long Qian Xing looked in the direction of Xia Mountains as the light in his eyes deepened. He was sure that if he didn’t pick her, she would never leak out this clue in front of him and probably disappeared from his sight forever.
