Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Shan Yu was helpless.

He naturally knew what Traveling Doctor Liu meant, but he was helpless to even interfere in this matter. Not that he wanted to interfere either.

Both Chen Yuan and Nan Hua were stubborn.

And the two of them were very skilled in martial arts and medicine.

If he was not careful enough, he was afraid that he wouldn't even know when these two attacked him. Rather than interfering in their business, he chose to silently follow Traveling Doctor Liu and avoided those two.

This would help preserve his life longer.

"They might clash head on soon since the battle between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom is heating up."

Traveling Doctor Liu threw the next bamboo strip to the campfire in front of him. He really didn't want to see either one of his disciples get into quarrel with each other. But he also knew that it was impossible for him to hope that much when their background would naturally make them clash with each other.

Back then, the fourth and the eight had already quarreled long enough.

Thankfully they finally ceased and entered a temporary 'tranquil' relationship with each other. Though, it was not that good.

And then, there was still the problem between the fifth and the eight. Only the Heaven knew how much headache he had when he first brought Yu Zheng Xi to Qi Xi Kingdom back then.

He nearly caused a war between Qi Xi Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom.

And then many others...

The various headaches he had when he first accepted the disciples were vivid in his mind. There was even the clash that eventually caused his seventh's disciple to die.

At that time, he no longer wished to take any new disciple.

Yet, he met with Chen Yuan and decided to take her in when he saw her condition a decade since he accepted his last disciple. Even Shan Yu said that he was too soft hearted, but Traveling Doctor Liu just couldn't let the poor girl died.

Chen Yuan was only 14 years old when Traveling Doctor Liu first met her.

Yet she was treated so horribly and even lost her vision. At first, Traveling Doctor Liu just wanted to help her, but Chen Yuan had her own pride. She was the genius from Chen Family who was capable to perform their inheritance technique.

She's a prideful girl.

Even when her condition at that time, she refused to back down to fate.

But because of her decision to help someone, she nearly lost everything once again. And this time, she decided to take Traveling Doctor Liu as her Master.

Traveling Doctor Liu could still remember his conversation with that young girl back then.

"I'm not a kind girl. I'm a vengeful person and will surely take revenge for those who push me in this situation. Do you still want to be my Master even though you know that?"

"Yes, I do."

"You're a strange person." The young Chen Yuan shook her head. Her clothes were dirty with mud while her hair was a mess. She didn't look like the young miss of an influential family at all.

Being thrown out by her family, she had already lived a life worse than slaves for several months.

Yet, she retained her headstrong personality.

"I want to help you."

"You don't know anything about me."

"I don't know, but you can tell me."

The young Chen Yuan was staring in the direction of Traveling Doctor Liu with suspicion. She couldn't see him and there was nothing that she had aside from her medical skill that she had honed ever since she was young.

If not because of the ungrateful Chen Family, Chen Yuan would never be reduced into this mess.

"...Fine. I'll follow you."

"Good girl."

Shan Yu was several years older than Chen Yuan and took care of her in the beginning. But he then realized that Chen Yuan was capable of doing everything by herself. What she was unable to do was fully identified what other people wanted from her.

She couldn't see.

She could only rely on her ears to discern their intention.

And when she met with someone with malicious intention, all that she could do was to defend herself with everything she had. That was why she had turned into a murderer countless times and many people feared her before she moved to this small village where Traveling Doctor Liu met her.

She didn't know the status of the people who attacked her.

All that she knew was that if she didn't defend herself, they might harm her in many ways possible. She could only defend herself in order to survive.

"Chen Yuan might not be a completely innocent girl." Traveling Doctor Liu sighed and looked at the sky, "But I believe in her."

"Aside from Junior Sister Luo, I don't think any of your disciples are innocent, Master." Shan Yu rolled his eyes.

"You damn brat! You're only 5 years old when I pick you up and you're not innocent at that age?"

"I'm innocent at that time and then being corrupted because...."

Thwack!

Shan Yu rubbed his forehead that was hit by Traveling Doctor Liu. He smiled bitterly as he knew very well that Traveling Doctor Liu just didn't want to admit that he was the one who allowed him to see the world.

Traveling Doctor Liu snorted and threw the rest of the bamboo strips towards Shan Yu. "Help me write some letters to your fourth junior."

"...Master, I'm sure that he's very busy at this time."

"I need him to watch over his ninth junior and twelfth junior! He's practically the one staying closest to them!" Traveling Doctor Liu flared up.

Shan Yu sighed and then looked at the pile of bamboo strip in front of him. Considering his fourth junior's status, he really doubted that the letter would be able to delivered without being checked by others.

And if the content was doubtful....

"Master, I don't know what to write."

"You're so useless!"

Shan Yu sighed. Whatever.
