Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"I don't want you to repeat his story." Old Master Nan's hand trembled a bit. "It's enough for you to have some achievement. I don't need you to be such a hero who sacrificed yourself."

Being a hero might look glorious, but the sacrifice behind this words was not something everyone could bear. Even if the person in question didn't mind, how could his family members be able to accept losing him or her?

It was not easy.

Those left behind would be the one to suffer.

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and replied in a low voice, "I know, Grandfather."

She didn't want to die either. She still wanted to live with her family members, enjoying the life in this world.

Old Master Nan smiled faintly and no longer talked about this matter. His emotions would surge again and it was not good for his aged body. 

The two of them continued to talk about other matters.

…

<Not long distance away from them, Feng Ao Kuai's side>

Feng Ao Kuai looked at his grandfather and Nan Hua who were talking and silently shook his head. He should have known that among the four of them, the favorite was definitely Nan Hua.

But for this matter, he didn't feel jealous.

Knowing Nan Hua's capabilities and after being by her side for a long time, he also appreciated her greatly. Her cousin is indeed really good.

"Second Young Commander Feng, do you have time to talk?" 

Feng Ao Kuai turned his head and saw Mu Sheng Xi riding his horse towards him. Seeing the other party, Feng Ao Kuai's eyes flickered slightly.

He and Mu Sheng Xi didn't have close relationship and only interact occasionally when they were at the frontline. Seeing the other party coming, he was suddenly reminded of their conflict and the fact that he was also coming to the Capital City to settle the matter of his marriage.

Would Mu Sheng Xi throw another tantrum towards him?

That thought made Feng Ao Kuai's temple throbbed. 

Those days when he and Mu Sheng Xi were against each other were already very painful and annoying. He naturally didn't wish to repeat such things again.

"Yes, Young Commander Mu?" Feng Ao Kuai asked back politely.

"The journey back will take some time." Mu Sheng Xi thought for a moment and then added, "I hope that you can consider the matter seriously. She's no longer young and it's not good to delay for both sides."

Feng Ao Kuai blinked his eyes.

Looking at Mu Sheng Xi, this young man seemed to be quite good when it came to his cousin. At the very least, he was not the type of person who hoped for his cousin to be used to gain advantage and connections.

Instead, he wished for his cousin to have a good life.

"If we're suitable, I will treat her well," Feng Ao Kuai replied solemnly. If he truly liked Mu Sheng Xi's cousin, Mu Fei Jiu, then he would definitely treat her well in the marriage days. But if he didn't like her, he would not ask for this marriage.

He had no hobby of delaying other people's marriage either.

Mu Sheng Xi nodded. "I'm going to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City during this time. If you two are suitable, then I can send a letter to my father to help with the arrangement."

Mu Fei Jiu's father was sickly and couldn't stand the tossing. Even if his father was already retired and usually stayed at home, he was not a cripple and could still come here. Besides, his mother was still alive and could help his cousin.

Feng Ao Kuai thought of Mu Family's members and nodded silently.

Mu Family is a big family. The branch of General Mu's siblings were destroyed under Mu Fei Jiu's hands back then. But General Mu still have several cousins who were alive and well in his territory.

If they all were to come to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, it would be lively by that time.

"We shall see later." Feng Ao Kuai could not give any promise at this time.

Mu Sheng Xi already knew Feng Ao Kuai's character, so he didn't have any opinion either. He looked into the distance and added, "You're a good person, Second Young Commander Feng."

"Mhm."

The two of them were not close and after repeated conflicts in the past, their relationship was not so close. After the short talk, Mu Sheng Xi also retreated and no longer talked with Feng Ao Kuai.

Anyway, there were also several other young commanders who came with them this time. Most of them were the people who had failed to achieve meritorious deeds on the battlefield and had no other choice but to tuck their tail and return to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City or the other cities nearby.

Not all of them came from the capital city.

There were also many of them who came from other nearby cities.

They all came together because it would be safer and easier.

…

<Nan Hua's side>

They were all not in a hurry, so they stopped to make a camp midway. With the distance between Liang City and Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, it was impossible to reach without several stops in the middle.

Nan Hua had her own tent with Chu Yue helping her to arrange. 

It was located a distance away from the others because she was already a titled general and also a woman.

Tep.

Nan Hua stopped inside her tent, looking at the entrance with her eyes flickered. Normally, there wouldn't be anyone who would dare to sneak into her tent.

Except for one person.

"Brother Long, why are you here?"

Long Qian Xing, who was walking towards Nan Hua's tent, stopped in front of her tent. He chuckled lightly. "I'm paying a visit to my fiancée."

While Long Qian Xing had known of Nan Hua's martial arts, he still felt that it was incredible for her to be able to detect him when he was trying to hide his presence. For some reason, he felt that if the two of them were to have a real life and death duel, he would be the losing side. 

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. She knew that there were also others nearby, so she replied, "Come in, Brother Long."
