Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Ye Jian's face was blue in anger.

"You don't understand anything!"

Bang!

"You're the one who didn't understand." Yu Jin looked at Ye Jian coldly. Who could actually stand at the top without doing anything? How much sweat, tears, and blood has been poured out in order for them to stand at the top and lead so many people?

What Ye Jian see is only the glory, but she ignored the hard work behind the success.

Yu Jin had thought that Ye Jian liked the work in the Mountain Tribe because Ye Jian would still do every work there well. No matter how much work had been piled up, Ye Jian still finished everything very well.

It was something that Yu Jin couldn't do.

She has never been good at reading those document because it would make her sleepy and tired. It was also because of this that the elders arranged the two of them to a completely different work in accordance to their abilities.

She accepted it.

And she tempered herself to be able to become a good leader of the Mountain Tribe who will not disappoint her people.

Working hard until late at night, training until she was dead tired, and many others.

She had done so many things in order to be able to stand in this position. It was not something that Ye Jian could compare with her training.

Yu Jin had seen Ye Jian's training.

But Ye Jian could never last long in the training. She will feel tired and frustrated, finally giving up in the middle.

Her body and willpower couldn't hold on.

It was her ambition that was too big.

"Everyone has their own talent and comparing yourself with others will only harm yourself." Yu Jin sneered. It was not like competition was not allowed, but blindly comparing oneself to someone who was so far away is stupid.

So stupid that only fools will do it.

Fools like Ye Jian.

"And no matter how good the front is, the hard work behind is not something that can be ignored." Yu Jin took out her sword. "I hope you will be able to see it clearly in the afterlife."

Swish! Slash!

Ye Jian took out the knives she hid in secret, intending to find a way to escape. But Yu Jin's movement was simply too fast.

Her neck was severed.

Until the last moment, she was still glaring in Yu Jin's direction with hatred.

And Yu Jin was looking back at Ye Jian with indifference. Only her trembling hands showed the real emotions within.

Even if she hoped that she could be indifferent, years of getting along with each other still allowed her to have feeling for this 'friend.' It was impossible for her not to feel nothing when the other party betrayed her like this.

Yu Jin closed her eyes.

After a moment, her eyes regained its tranquility. When she was young, she was a troublemaker and it was because of her abilities in fighting that allowed the elders to see hope to unite the entire Mountain Tribe. After all, back then, there were many tribes that was scattered around the mountain range.

It was not easy to gather them all.

In the beginning, Yu Jin didn't really want to be the leader because she felt that it was too troublesome. Moreover, she was a playful child and wanted to play around for a lot more rather than being put in high position.

But after being told that she could fight as her wishes…

She ended up becoming the leader.

Countless battles taught her to be more cunning, more powerful, and better than her enemies. Because if she was weaker than them, she would never be able to win and convinced the people to follow her.

So the battles that were usually because of her mischievousness changed.

She trained all day long, day and night.

Every single day, she would feel as if her entire bones were going to break because of her training, but she never stopped.

Because she wanted a better future for her people.

A future where they all could live together and united, no longer separated.

For this ambitious dream of hers, she worked together with the others. No matter how many obstacles were placed in front of her, she worked hard, thinking of various strategies, negotiating, and doing many things that she didn't like.

Eventually, she united the entire Mountain Tribes.

But the battles were far from over. With the battles outside the areas and their own territory, Yu Jin knew very well that these people would be coming to get her sooner or later. She was worried.

But she could only prepare for what was to come.

When Nan Hua came and gave her the proposal, it would be a lie to say that she was not interested. In her opinion, to be able to cooperate together meant that their existence would be acknowledged.

There would be casualties.

It was inevitable.

But for the sake of the better future for the rest of the people, Yu Jin took this bet. So far, the bet has been on her side and allowed her to fight side by side with Fei Yang Kingdom.

She couldn't say that the cooperation was very smooth.

There were many things that happened along the way. The relationship between her and the other generals from Fei Yang Kingdom couldn't be said to be good.

Aside from Nan Hua, not many people would accept her existence.

But Yu Jin perseveres.

She will not allow anyone to stop her from achieving her dreams.

What she had buried inside her heart will remain unknown and what she had experienced along the way was not for her to share. It was enough for others to see the end result after they struggled together along the road.

"Queen Yu," the soldiers greeted Yu Jin when they saw her coming.

"Bring her body back to be buried." Yu Jin pointed at Ye Jian on the back. "The mass burial site."
