Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"If that's what you want to do then I'll not stop you." Old Master Nan sighed. "How do you plan to throw the matter of you borrowing their name?"

Nan Hua was silent for a moment then said, "There's someone whom I could ask."

Someone?

Since Nan Hua didn't mention the name, Old Master Nan didn't pester his granddaughter. He knew that she didn't want to worry him, so she told him her plan. But she would not tell everything until it was done.

"Come here."

Nan Hua stepped forward and stopped in front of Old Master Nan.

Old Master Nan reached out his hand and ruffled Nan Hua's hair while sighing. Having too amazing granddaughter is also quite troublesome. "Don't forget to rest too, Hua'er."

"Yes, Grandpa." Nan Hua nodded solemnly.

Old Master Nan smiled. "Go back to the Capital City with us. Nan Luo will stay under Great General Wei for the time being but Feng Ao Kuai will come back."

Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.

Nan Hua had indeed planned to go back because there were a few things that she wanted to do. She nodded quietly, agreeing to her grandfather's arrangement.

What Old Master Nan didn't know was that there would be another person who came with them when they go back. 

…

<Not long distance away, Great General Wei's side>

After separating from Old Master Nan, he knew that Nan Family was serious. It was time for him to mention this matter to his second daughter.

"Father?" Wei Mu Qing was stunned when she saw her father walked into her courtyard. She waved her hand and the maidservants walked away, distancing themselves from these two.

"Wei Mu Qing." Great General Wei looked at his second daughter and felt a bit uncomfortable when he thought that she would be going away. However, it was impossible for him to take care of her in his entire life. She needed someone who could protect her when he's gone.

Someone who would stay with her for her entire life.

"Yes, Father?" Wei Mu Qing asked back, curious why her father would call her so solemnly. It was rare for her father to be so serious when facing her.

"There's a marriage proposal designated for you," Great General Wei spoke slowly.

Wei Mu Qing's body stiffened when she heard that sentence. She's already 13 years old, approaching 14 in a few more months. It was not rare that there will be people who would extend their hand for her to marry into their family.

However, Wei Mu Qing still felt that she wanted to stay with her family a bit longer. 

She didn't really want to get married so early.

Great General Wei looked at her expression and he added, "I have agreed."

Wei Mu Qing's eyes widened in disbelief. She thought that her father would at least discuss this matter with her first. But in this era, the marriage of children would be decided by their parents.

It was not surprising that there will be children who didn't know that they would be getting married to others before their parents mentioned the matter to them. Wei Mu Qing thought that her father would at least discuss this with her.

Thinking about the young man she met, she felt really frustrated.

Before she could even mention about this matter, her father had already arranged for her marriage.

"Father, I…"

"His name is Nan Luo, the young master of Nan Family and also Young Commander Nan who had 3000 men commanders under him." Great General Wei watched his daughter's expression.

Upon hearing Nan Luo's name, Wei Mu Qing's eyes widened with pleasant surprise. There was even a hint of anticipation brewing up from within her expression. It was clear that she was not against this marriage.

Great General Wei sighed from the bottom of his heart. He knew that his daughter was also attracted to that young man.

It seemed that this marriage would be unavoidable.

"The two of you are too young to get married, so you will be engaged first and get married when you reach of age. Do you have any questions?" Great General Wei finally finished his words.

Wei Mu Qing calmed down quickly. She knew that her thoughts couldn't be hidden from her father, so she began to think about the two families' position. Marriage was not just the matter of the two people but also the two families behind them.

The two families were military families, so this marriage might even increase their military power. But considering that Nan Family was between declining and advancing, it was hard to say what would happen in the future.

"Will it affect the family?" Wei Mu Qing asked.

"There will be some but it's not big." Great General Wei was not that worried that this marriage would be making a lot of splash. With the fall of Zhang Xu Kingdom, there will be more generals rising in Fei Yang Kingdom.

Anyway, Old Master Nan would definitely retire in a few more years. The power would fall on Nan Luo, who was still young and definitely didn't have influence as big as his grandfather. 

They would not be a big threat for many people and could coexist as long as they behave themselves.

"I see." Wei Mu Qing smiled. "I agree, Father."

Great General Wei looked at his daughter and nodded. "He will come with me in the army. You go back and prepare for your marriage."

Wei Mu Qing was stunned with her father's words. She still wanted to stay in the army and helped the soldiers as a doctor. Not to mention, she wouldn't be able to have any interaction with Nan Luo if she went back to her home.

"The west area is more dangerous. It's better for you not to follow." The pace of the army will be much faster and Great General Wei wouldn't be able to take care of his daughter. It would be better for Wei Mu Qing to go back.
