Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 316 – True Reason (2)

It referred to an incident in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Many decades ago, wars were still raging on worse than it was now. It was simply relatively stable because each kingdom was busy because of their internal problem. They didn't have time to care for others and only tried to have some skirmish at the border because of some reasons.

The Lin Family was suddenly hit when they were already declining and the reason for their downfall was because of a young lady who leaked the information. That woman earned a large amount of fortune and then married away to Fei Yang Kingdom.

Because of the distance, Lin Family couldn't do anything.

They could only suffer in silence as things continued to turn worse. In order to make sure things would not repeat, the rebellious women children were forced to eat parasites who would only be forced out when they were about to be married away.

Then, another young lady escaped from Lin Family and headed to Fei Yang Kingdom. It was only a coincidence for Lin Xiang to find her sister in Wind City after many years of searching. She threatened Lin Qiang to help her or she would divulge the secret of their family arts along with the fact that there was no cure.

Out of fear and maybe love of her new family and children, Lin Qiang tolerated.

But when she found out that Lin Xiang wanted Lin Qiang to help with the matter of Princess Yue's kidnapping, Lin Qiang refused. It was then Lin Xiang leaked the matter of Lin Family, cutting of all routes of retreat for Lin Qiang.

"Qiang'er…" Feng Qian Bo was present in order to guard the door. Or perhaps, it was also his older brother's kindness to allow him to hear the result from both sides.

"This is Feng Family emblem?" Long Qian Xing looked at the token that Lin Xiang used to enter Fei Yang Kingdom.

"Yes. Aunt lost hers once in the past," Feng Ao Kuai said with a cold tone.

"I see."

Long Qian Xing rubbed his forehead. He didn't expect that this matter would somehow related to the Feng Family. To think that there was actually a 'spy' in Feng Family.

"Lin Qiang had died a few days ago." Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Long Qian Xing. "I hope Young Commander Long can ignore this matter."

"I won't dig into it."

The eyewitness might have long died too with Lin Qiang. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai as he contemplated a bit. It seemed that Feng Family already knew about the matter of Lin Qiang being a person of Lin Family.

"Did your aunt ever say anything regarding her family?"

"No. If not because two servants testify for it back then, we will not know." Feng Ao Kuai paused for a moment. "She didn't say anything about Lin Family plan as she committed suicide before we can interrogate her more."

It was not exactly the truth.

However, Long Qian Xing didn't want to bother with Feng Family internal problem either. The most important thing for them now was to catch the person who leaked the news to Lin Family.

Which maidservant it was?

Lin Xiang didn't reveal who it was, probably because she also knew that they wouldn't be able to identify her. She was keeping her mouth shut even though she was being threatened many times.

"Leave her here." Feng Qian Shao was exhausted. It was almost dawn and neither one of them had any sleep for the night. If not for the urgency of the matter, he would not have asked them to stay.

"Yes, Father."

Feng Ao Kuai looked at the woman with cold glint, sending shiver down the woman's spine. For some reason, the woman felt that the children were even more terrifying compared to the adults.

Right now, all of her reasons had collapsed. When Nan Hua attacked her, the memory of her standing in front of her with bloodied figure was one that she could never forget in her life. She was so scared, yet she didn't know what had happened outside until someone come and drag her out.

The mess was terrifying.

However, she still held her tongue when asked about the spies. There were many spies that were sent by Zhang Xu Kingdom. If she leaked any of them, Lin Family would be in utter danger.

She could not and would not reveal them.

"Qian Bo, you stay here and guard her. Make sure she didn't do anything funny. I'll have some rest now." Feng Qian Shao waved his hand.

"Yes, Brother."

Feng Ao Kuai followed his father back to their residence with Long Qian Xing followed behind them.

Feng Qian Shao looked at the youth with a bitter smile. "Young Commander Long, you may rest for the day. You did a good job."

"General Feng, I wish to pay a visit to Young Miss Nan to inquire about her condition," Long Qian Xing expressed his intention.

"I have asked to call Doctor Chen, so she should be fine."

Doctor Chen, Chen Yuan.

Even though Chen Yuan was blind, many people in Wind City agreed that she was the best female doctor in Wind City. Thanks to her presence, whenever there was a female patient, they would call for her first rather than other doctors.

It was extremely late at night but Chen Yuan surprisingly agreed to check on Nan Hua.

Thus, Feng Qian Shao left the matter of the house to his father in law to handle.

"I still would like to see her." Long Qian Xing said once more. "Is it not possible?"

"Come with me."

Feng Qian Shao sighed and motioned for Long Qian Xing to follow him. He was once young and brash too like this youth, so he knew the feeling of worry. Even now, he definitely would rush back if the one in question was his wife.

At the side, Feng Ao Kuai studied Long Qian Xing's expression in silence. No one could make out anything from his cold and indifferent appearance.
