Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Because the past couldn't change. No matter how much they wanted to change it, they would never be able to change it. Thinking about it more would only bring pain to them. So, they should just accept it. Humans were not perfect. They made mistake, but that's what made them human. "People make mistakes and the past had already happened," Shan Yu said. "My master told me to stop looking back but to look forward because only in the future would there be countless possibilities ahead. What had happened had been carved and will not change, but your actions from now will determine your future path."

Yu Jin smiled at Shan Yu's words. The chilling killing intent in her eyes faded away as she chuckled. "You have a good master."

"He's already like my father since he practically raised me." Shan Yu sighed.

He had to admit that he missed Traveling Doctor Liu quite a lot. After all, he had never been separated from his master for such a long period of time like this. It felt rather strange for him not to worry about his Master and took care of him from time to time aside from his own official duties. But looking at the young woman beside him, Shan Yu's eyes were gentle. He had to admit that his master was right and that there were still things that he had to do in the future without always accompanying Traveling Doctor Liu.

But looking at the young woman beside him, Shan Yu's eyes were gentle. He had to admit that his master was right and that there were still things that he had to do in the future without always accompanying Traveling Doctor Liu. While he would definitely still come to accompany him from time to time, it would not be all the time like he used to be. "I see." Yu Jin smiled. She had seen Traveling Doctor Liu before and he was quite a funny old man in her opinion. He was also the one who helped her a lot when it came to 'kidnapping' Shan Yu. Though, she felt that Shan Yu was a bit pitiful to have such a master who didn't hesitate to push him away. It was entertaining, though. "It's already late at night. Do you not want to sleep and want to stay out here?" Shan Yu asked. The night breeze was nice for a period of time, but if he had to stay here for long, then he would not want it either. He might end up having a cold. "Just a while longer," Yu Jin replied. She tilted her head and then said, "After the war with Shi Long Kingdom is over, I'm going to ask for a break."

"A break?" Shan Yu arched his eyebrows. Yet at the same time, he could hear the confidence in Yu Jin's tone. Her words sounded as if she had never even consider the possibility of Fei Yang Kingdom's defeat. They could only achieve victory, nothing else. For this confidence alone, it could be said that Yu Jin was truly brave. "Yes. I have been fighting on the frontline for a long time. Even a general deserved a break." Yu Jin chuckled. Should Shi Long Kingdom fall, the subsequent process would be for them to start conquering the cities and taking over the power. While there were indeed a lot of work, but it didn't have to be done by a general directly. There were many other commanders out there who wanted to make a name for themselves in Fei Yang Kingdom. There was no lack of people who would want to step forward and do this job. Yu Jin could relax while they took over. Besides, there were going to be a lot of officials who wanted to take over the cities and management. The tax had to be paid to Fei Yang Kingdom in order to recover the loss they had experienced after a long period of war. Fei Yang Kingdom needed time to stabilize. She could take a break during those period of time. Even if it was not for long, but it should be good enough for her and her men. "Your soldiers will be happy when they heard your decision." Shan Yu laughed. He knew that Yu Jin almost didn't have any break ever since she joined Fei Yang Kingdom some time ago. Because of that, Yu Jin's soldiers were also quite tired physically and mentally. They had to follow their leader, so they also didn't have any break. With Yu Jin's next decision, they would be able to rest for some time before going back to the frontline once again. "Right." Yu Jin chuckled.

The two of them stayed there for some time, just enjoying the night breeze. Yu Jin slowly leaned close and then rested her head on Shan Yu's shoulder. He was a bit taller than her, so this height was just good enough for her. To be honest, she had never actually thought about settling down before. After all, there were many things that she had to do and her image as a woman was too far from the ideal type of most men. She had heard the men talking about that and what they wanted was a virtuous wife who could take care of their home. They didn't really want someone who was far stronger than them. So when she saw Shan Yu back then, she just took her chances because his looks and muscle *ehem* were very pleasing to the eyes. Well, the second factor contributed more. She knew that he was Nan Hua's senior brother and also knew that he was a good and gentle man from what she heard. After all, the fact that Traveling Doctor Liu went to various places were not exactly a secret. "Thank you, Ah Yu."

Ah Yu.

Shan Yu's pupil dilated slightly. It has been a long time since someone called him with this name. This brought him some memories from his young childhood time. He looked at Yu Jin and caressed her head slightly. "It's nothing. I'm your future husband, so I can at least do this much, can't I?"

"Right~." Yu Jin chuckled in response, amused by his words.
