Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



"Don't you need any information from him?" Nan Hua asked.

"Lin Sun had a bit of keeping notes with him because of his old age." Long Qian Xing suppressed his emotions as he answered in an indifferent tone.

He had investigated about Lin Sun long enough to know about this old man's habit. Because of the effect of the poison, Lin Sun started to forget many things.

Because of that, he would keep a note that contained many important things. Because this note contained a lot of his secrets, Lin Sun would always keep the note around with him.

Lin Sun's face changed when he heard what Long Qian Xing said. One of his hand was stepped by Nan Hua, so he tried to move his other hand to get the note. As long as he could destroy that thing, these people from Fei Yang Kingdom shouldn't be able to get anything from him.

"How convenient." Nan Hua nodded and increased the weight on her legs, pressuring Lin Sun's wrist terribly.

After her bitter training, the strength she could muster was definitely far above many powerful people.

Even if she couldn't compare with her muscle headed cousin, she was definitely far better than many other people.

"GAAAAAaaaHH!"

Pig like scream came out of Lin Sun's mouth.

Watching Nan Hua's indifferent face, Long Qian Xing's eyes didn't even look at Lin Sun in the slightest bit. This Nan Hua in front of him looked both familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.

This was her cruel side that she had previously hidden from him.

Even if he knew that she was Nan and had heard many things about Nan Luo's adjutant's cruelty and means on the battlefield, this was the first time he ever saw her do it openly in front of everyone.

Her emotionless expression didn't change in the slightest bit as if she was not doing anything ruthless but only stepping on the ground.

It formed a contrast of view.

Long Qian Xing seemed to understand many things at this very time. The Nan Hua he knew so far might be her and not the real her at the same time.

Emotions brewed from deep within his heart.

The little girl he wanted to hold in his palm and protected carefully had to face so many things he didn't know.

She was not a flower in a greenhouse.

But rather a wild flower that had been tempered by countless storm and coated in blood yet still managed to stand firm and bloomed beautifully.

What Nan Hua said didn't enter his mind at all.

All Long Qian Xing could see is Nan Hua in front of him.

No other people.

"Since you don't need him, then he can die." Nan Hua swung her sword, slit across Lin Sun's throat immediately.

Blood spurted out, dying the area red with blood. Nan Hua's hem of clothes were also red, yet it didn't look bad on her.

Instead, it created a different sight of Nan Hua. A sight that was both beautiful yet terrifying at the same time.

Splash!

With blood dyeing the ground, Nan Hua took a step away from Lin Sun. Without Lin Sun, the Lin Family will start to decline and wouldn't be able to produce some special poison that Lin Sun developed and kept secret.

Long Qian Xing looked at the sight in front of her and stepped forward, stretching his hand towards Nan Hua.

*Hug*

With a tug, he pulled Nan Hua to his embrace.

His action was sudden and Nan Hua froze slightly. She raised her small head, looking at Long Qian Xing in confusion.

"Let's go back?" Long Qian Xing's voice was low and slightly hoarse.

It was hard to detect what emotions contained within his low voice, but there was no trace of repulse nor aversion from what had happened. It didn't seem that he cared that much about the fact that his little wife was not a quiet and demure woman but instead a valiant and ruthless person.

The anger he felt from seeing Nan Hua not caring for her safety and rushed forward into Lin Family was completely gone. He seemed to understand yet not understand what Nan Hua wanted to convey to him.

His emotion was complicated.

But one thing for sure.

He felt distress for his little girl.

There were many things he didn't know about Nan Hua, but he knew for sure that her experience was what built her to become like this.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes, feeling the warmth of Long Qian Xing's embrace.

How long has it been since she was so close to someone?

A trained assassin who always put her guard up would never actually let anyone get close to her and put herself in vulnerable position. Because when they were vulnerable, they were prone to be taken advantage of.

But at this moment, she didn't want to move.

The complicated emotions and distress Long Qian Xing felt seemed to be transferred to her through this simple hug, allowing her to know what he felt.

It was warm.

And comforting.

Nan Hua slowly closed her eyes.

For Nan Hua, it was enough.

She nodded slightly.

Long Qian Xing released Nan Hua and looked at her beautiful face. There was faint blood trace on her face, which was obtained from killing Lin Sun and probably other elders in Lin Family not long ago.

He raised his hand and carefully wiped the traces of blood from her face.

As Long Qian Xing tenderly hugged Nan Hua, the soldiers around were all looking at the two of them with horrified expression on their face. In the current era, who didn't know about the restriction and taboo between the two genders?

They couldn't understand what had happened just now and why Long Qian Xing hugged Princess Jun in full view like this.

But no one dared to speak.

Once Long Qian Xing was done, he looked at the soldiers around, arching his eyebrows. "No words about it if you still want to keep your tongue."
