Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"I want you to ask for a transfer."

"Where?"

"Heng Xing City."

Heng Xing City?

The word caused Zhang Dan Shui to be stunned. He naturally knew that Heng Xing City was one of the few underdeveloped cities. It was not close to any natural resources and the areas were a bit hard to access because there was only one main road. The development was slow since it used to be put in dispute with some people who were living nearby.

Nan Hua could see Zhang Dan Shui's hesitation. "I want you to become the governor there within 5 years. Whether you do it or not, it's all your choice. If you don't want, I'll search for someone else."

After saying all that, Nan Hua turned around and walked away in slow pace. She didn't give Zhang Dan Shui any time to digest all the information she thrown to him just now. There was no time in the slightest bit for him to answer her question.

Zhang Dan Shui was stunned. He blurted out, "Can I bring my mother?"

"What do you think?"

What does he think?

Heng Xing City was an underdeveloped city and to develop it would require a few years at the very least. He could ask for transfer while taking his mother with him with some excuse such as the fact that the area there was good for her health or something. It wouldn't hinder him in the slightest bit.

After all, the Zhang Family would be happy to have him gone from their place and stayed in somewhere far away. And with such a place that didn't hold much future, it would be clear that his enemies would give him up.

They would be happy to see him living a poor life for his entire life.

Zhang Dan Shui hadn't been wanting to only end up as a low ranked official. He wanted to surpass his father and brother, to make sure that they would never be able to hurt him and his mother ever again.

'I'll take this chance.'

Zhang Dan Shui took a deep breath. His eyes looked in Nan Hua's direction as he made his decision. He would follow her arrangement and stay in that Heng Xing City for as long as she wished him to be.

"Young… uh, Nan, what are you doing?" Xiao Yan asked after adjusting the address. He felt that the young miss and young master would always figure out a method to make things difficult for them. This one was one of them since he really couldn't bring himself to address her impolitely.

Nan Hua passed a look at Xiao Yan. "Gathering people."

"Huh?"

Nan Hua didn't have any intention to explain more. She had been thinking of living in this world, but she didn't like the thought of having her life in the hand of other people. Being told to do everything by other people had been the norm in her previous life.

This time, she wanted to build her own people.

Not for herself but for Nan Family. So that even in the midst of the raging war that would occur in a few more years, they would not fall into the deep trap and ended up dying.

Her grandfather and Nan Luo.... they would die if she didn't do anything.

Based on the novel, they would die in a few more years and before long, it would be her death too. But was it really the reason why she entered this novel? Just to follow the same route as the original Nan Hua and ended up dying once more?

For some reason, she didn't want it.

Xiao Yan didn't understand what Nan Hua wanted and it was not his place to guess what his master's intention was. Since he couldn't think of anything, he could only stay silent and watched Nan Luo and Long Qian Xing's duel.

While his martial arts were not that good, he had to make sure that he protected Nan Luo properly.

If he didn't, Old Master Nan would surely kill him.

Tak! Thud!

"You're still too immature." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Luo with his wooden sword pointed right at Nan Luo's neck. "Don't you have other methods aside from trying to outwit me? While my movements are not perfect yet, you can't exploit it properly, First Young Master Nan."

Nan Luo snorted and pushed the tip of the sword away from his neck. He stood up and picked up the wooden sword that fell on the side. "I'm not going to lose against you in the slightest bit."

"That should be my line." Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows and smiled lightly as usual.

Seeing his smile, Nan Luo really have the urge to smash his fist towards the young man's face once more. He couldn't understand why people always think of Long Qian Xing as a gentleman when he was like this.

Nan Luo paid no more attention to Long Qian Xing and walked towards Nan Hua and Xiao Yan. "Let's go back…"

"You're going back so early?"

"We've just returned!"

Nan Luo was stunned. He turned to look at the door and saw his two cousins, Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai were standing there with bright smile on their faces. He was speechless.

"Aren't you two at the frontline, Cousin Feng Ao Si and Cousin Feng Ao Kuai?"

"As if we're going to spend all of our time there." Feng Ao Si laughed. "Father asks us to return and temper ourselves."

Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother then turned his head to look at Nan Hua. "Big Brother makes a mistake in the commanding and end up being punished."

"$%^&*(!" Feng Ao Si nearly cursed and had to hold his mouth to prevent his mouth from spreading profanities.

Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Si. "Did he create a poor strategy?"

"Yes and nearly got annihilated."

"No wonder."

"Why are you telling him?" Feng Ao Si was speechless at his younger brother's attitude. It seemed that Feng Ao Kuai had no qualms for telling his poor performances in front of Nan Luo.

It was so embarrassing!
