Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Miss!"

Swish! Clang!

A woman in black clothing rushed towards Nan Hua and cleaved her sickle like weapon. Nan Hua narrowed her eyes and twisted her body before raising her dagger, using it to protect her arm.

The woman's eyes gleamed and she jumped back. Right at this time, Nan Si attacked and the two of them went into a stalemate.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

'Chen Yuan's right hand.'

Nan Hua looked around and stopped while looking at one hill. She could see Chen Yuan standing there with a young man following her. Based on his attire, Nan Hua could guess that he was part of the military in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Instead of attacking the woman, Nan Hua was looking in Chen Yuan's direction.

Chen Yuan had decided to help Zhang Xu Kingdom.

This fact didn't change even after Nan Hua changed the past in which Chen Yuan had somewhat different relationship with her Master and the other disciples. But then again, the tragedy that occurred to Chen Family happened long before she could even interfere.

At that time, she was just a small kid in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City who didn't know anything about the world.

She couldn't even help herself.

How could she help others?

"Si, we're going."

Swish! Clang!

Nan Si looked at the woman in front of him, but he didn't press further and sommersaulted to the back.

"You're not going..."

Jleb!

A needle pierced the woman's leg, stopping her from moving. Her eyes widened as she looked the three people who turned around and walked away.

Their backs seemed to tell her that they didn't care about her at all.

She didn't even sense the needle coming.

This made her remember her own master as her needles movement was hard to detect. But the difference was that Chen Yuan couldn't use it to attack other people from a long distance.

She had to be within arm's distance with the other party.

"Chen Yuan, they..."

"Leave them be." Chen Yuan might not be able to see, but she could still hear that familiar voice. She knew that her junior sister came to Zhang Xu Kingdom because she wished to stop this...

But Chen Yuan needed them if she really wished to enact her revenge.

Without these soldiers, it was impossible for Chen Yuan to make her move.

Even though Nan Hua was trying to stop her, Chen Yuan didn't make any move personally. She didn't want to completely destroy the relationship they had with each other. Even if it was just a faint thread of connection, she didn't want to lose it.

There were very few people who cared for Chen Yuan.

And Nan Hua was included in that number.

That was why Chen Yuan wouldn't stop her.

The two of them would do whatever they needed to do while trying their best not to clash with each other. Be it because of their past relationship or because they wanted to retain the last bit of their relationship with each other, this was their decision on how they will interact with each other.

"But this will slow..."

"Does it really matter? You can get more people easily." Chen Yuan turned around without caring for the man's words.

The man was stupefied. While it was true that they could get a lot of these war prisoners easily, they were not unlimited in number. If they kept on capturing more people, it would completely destroy their tribe.

But with Chen Yuan's order... he really couldn't do anything but obey her.

...

"Miss, why do you not let me kill her?" Nan Si asked. In his opinion, his enemies were better off dead than live. If they were not killed in time, they would just come flocking to him to get revenge.

And since he usually did his mission covertly, those who were related to those people wouldn't even know who they should take their revenge from.

"I don't need her to die."

Nan Si was confused. But as Nan Hua's guard, he decided to shut his mouth and just followed her wishes. In any case, he only knew that as long as he followed someone strong, he would be able to grow stronger.

There was no need for him to question things that he knew he wouldn't be able to understand.

Nan Hua didn't elaborate.

She also didn't know the exact reason why she didn't want to kill Chen Yuan directly. For her, it was not an impossible feat, but there was something within her that seemed to be stopping her from doing it.

And Nan Hua knew that it was a strange thing.

But even if it was strange, Nan Hua had her own consideration.

In the end, Nan Hua simply did what she wanted to do.

The three of them continued their journey and reached the frontline soon. Looking at the densely packed area with soldiers, Nan Hua glanced at Chu Yue. "Change your clothes to blend in."

"Huh?"

Chu Yue was stunned.

When she finished changing, she really wanted to cry. It was the first time in her life that she had to dress up just like a normal soldier would. And looking at her appearance, she sighed.

She should have switched place with Mu Yan.

That way, she only needed to stay in Heng Xing City and not here.

Nan Hua herself had changed her attire and used her silver mask again. If she appeared with her original face here, the soldiers would be shocked senseless to see that their commander was perfectly healthy in less than two weeks' time.

Soon, Nan Hua reached Nan Luo's tent.

She could hear the conversation of Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai from outside.

"Ah, why do you put your stone there?! You're butchering me in this game!" Nan Luo wailed.

Feng Ao Kuai snorted. "Your skill hadn't improved even after such a long time."

"I have improved! You're the one who didn't give me any leniency. Is that because you're jealous that I'm called first to be the 1000 men commander?"

Tep!

"Just play."
