Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Lin Xia paused for a moment and looked at Great General Wei deeply before curtsied. Her etiquette was not perfect because she was used to stay by herself and cared nothing about the outside world for so many years. 

For her, the world outside was strange and cold.

She didn't have much interest in the outside world no matter what other people said. She just wanted to bury herself in her research for her entire life.

"Thank you, Great General Wei."

"I'll arrange for someone to pick them up." Great General Wei looked at this unfamiliar woman and then turned his horse around.

Lin Xia looked at Great General Wei's back and lowered her eyes.

There were only a few people who knew that her sister was still alive and well. Being able to separate them from Lin Family was something that she longed from the bottom of her heart. 

But in order to make sure that she worked for the Lin Family, they purposely detained them.

It was miserable.

Lin Xia could still remember the days when she was crying and begging for them to let her sister go. Her sister was not as strong as her and didn't have the talent as good as her, so she was useless in the eyes of the people from Lin Family.

But for Lin Xia, her sister is the only family members she had.

It took a long time for her to be able to let her sister stay alive and have a family on her own without the need to worry about anything else.

Her Master once helped her.

Now, it was also because of her Master that her Senior Brother come forward to help her.

"Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother," Lin Xia muttered in a low voice.

…

Great General Wei didn't pay much attention to Lin Xia after he was done.

The only reason why he made the arrangement was because the two of them were disciples under Traveling Doctor Liu.

And as one of the few people who were clear about Lin Xia's past, he was willing to extend a hand to help this woman. 

Lin Family's practice was actually not a secret.

They would train their disciples and descendants in a way that make many of them died before they could grow up. The use of medicine can be dangerous if it was not done properly.

Because the same materials can be both poison and medicine.

The Lin Family wanted to create the descendants that were powerful and had high immunity. But at the same time, they had caused these people to destroy their own bodies in order to achieve their goal.

Many of them could never live past 50 years of age.

Some of the luckier ones were able to stay alive past 60 years of age, but it was very rare.

No matter how much they worked hard to research the medicine of immortality, they would end up being defeated because most of their bodies has been destroyed by themselves due to their practice.

It was very tragic.

Lin Xia was approaching her fifties and Great General Wei could see that her situation was no longer very good.

The years when she was young and worked hard to learn medicine while enduring the pain had caused a lot of damages. Time accumulated these damages, making it hard for Lin Xia to survive for long.

At the very least, that was what Great General Wei could see.

He didn't check Lin Xia specifically because he knew that this senior sister of his has better medical capabilities than him. 

"General, there are still some descendants of Lin Family. Do you want to relocate them all?" A commander came to ask.

Because there were a lot of tasks to do, Great General Wei handed over the matter of Lin Family to others. Right now, these commanders were waiting for Great General Wei to make his decision for them.

"How many people are still alive?" Great General Wei asked.

"Replying to Great General Wei, there are 76 people, which are divided…"

Great General Wei raised his hand to stop the commander from reporting everything. "Take care of them and let them scatter. But before that, you have to investigate what they have done before. If they had done something bad, you know how to deal with them."

"Yes, Great General Wei." The commander cupped his fist and then slowly made his way back.

Great General Wei sighed deeply and thought about his master.

After a few moments of contemplation, he wrote a letter and send it away. At the very least, Traveling Doctor Liu should know what happened to his disciples.

…

<Traveling Doctor Liu's side>

Nan Hua had only left and Traveling Doctor Liu received a letter from Great General Wei. Looking at the letter in his hand, Traveling Doctor Liu sighed.

"Master, do you need my help to read the content?" Shan Yu asked slowly.

"What help, huh? I can read it by myself." Traveling Doctor Liu snorted and then opened the letter.

It only stated the general overview about Great General Wei's plan towards Lin Family in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Traveling Doctor Liu read each word carefully before sighing deeply. "So, this is the ending of the medical families in Zhang Xu Kingdom, huh?"

With the fall of Zhang Xu Kingdom, these three medical families, Zhang, Lin, and Chen, all received their ending.

Chen Family has long been destroyed because of his disciple in the past. The greed of the people who coveted the ancestral method of Chen Family caused their downfall.

Zhang Family was not completely focused on medical, but they have created organization that specialized in both medicine and poison. They were destroyed before the war was over because of various reasons.

And now, Lin Family is disbanded. No elders were spared because they had their hands in the death of so many disciples. Even if they said that it was because they had to follow the tradition, who knew what they were actually thinking in their heart?
