Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

After a while, Wu Shan finally speak, "I know."

He knew.

Without his duties as part of the Mountain Tribe, he also had things that he wanted to do. But he owed his life to Yu Jin and also made the promise to the elders to protect Yu Jin, so that he had to prioritize Yu Jin above all else.

Yu Jin grinned at Wu Shan's answer. "You've already fulfilled your promise with you supporting me all these years. You don't have to worry about the elders because I'll talk to them. Do you want to stay or follow me?"

Wu Shan smiled bitterly. "I can't hide anything from you, can I?"

"You're 100 years too early to hide things from me." Yu Jin chuckled. "I'll miss you, but I also want you to be happy. For sure, I'll not stop you from finding your livelong happiness."

Livelong happiness.

If it was before, Wu Shan would only laugh at Yu Jin when he heard this phrase. Because he didn't want to settle down in the slightest bit and would rather wage his swords all over the battlefield to help his sworn sister. It was fun for him to fight on the battlefield and do what he wanted without the need to care about many things because he knew that he had his sworn sister's back behind him. Wu Shan smiled. "Alright, I'l stay here."

"Great!" Yu Jin laughed. "I'll leave part of the army to stay here for the time being and support you. In case those b*stard from Shi Long Kingdom came back here, Wu Shan would be able to handle them by himself."

"Alright." Wu Shan nodded.

He knew that Yu Jin was giving him a chance and supporting him through her own way. For her move, he felt rather grateful because he knew that his sister would continue to support him whatever he did.

To be honest, the two of them actually have different position in the Mountain Tribe, but Yu Jin always treated him as equal. "Good, now, cook me some delicious roast meat."

Wu Shan looked at Yu Jin helplessly and then started to take some meat to roast it. He really didn't understand why his sworn sister liked to eat his roast meat so much.

Beside him, Yu Jin watched him with a smile on her face. Only her eyes were a bit watery, but she forcefully hold it back.

She will miss him. But she didn't want to stop him from his own life and path.

The two of them continued to talk as they enjoyed the roast meat that Wu Shan made.

…

<Not long distance away, Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing's side>

The two of them were relaxing after their dinner and now they wanted to talk with Leader Kui about their next plan. After all, they would enter deep into the territory of these people and it would be better to have permission and to have more knowledge about this place first. Small Leader Kui smiled when he saw the two of them. "Are you two going to the small temple soon?"

Before they came here back then, Long Qian Xing had asked Small Leader Kui about the small temple. After all, one of the reasons why Long Qian Xing wanted to come here was because of this temple.

Now that Shi Long Kingdom had retreated, it was the best time for them to pay a visit there. "Yes, you said that you know the way. Would you like to help us to go there?" Long Qian Xing asked.

"I have already promised you, so I'll bring you there tomorrow." Small Leader Kui laughed. "However, considering the distance from here to there, it'll take some time. This mountain range is also located somewhat south of Ming Family's territory, so it's better to send a letter to that man so he will know."

"I'll arrange it." Long Qian Xing nodded.

He knew that Ming Shi Hong will not complain about him coming there for a short visit. Anyway, this small temple was also known for those who wanted to ask for blessing. That man might even think about various reasons as to why Long Qian Xing wanted to go there with Nan Hua. Ming Shi Hong's brain was not exactly very normal, but he was a good leader.

At the very least, the Ming Family trusted him and willing to follow him. Even if his action might look strange in the eyes of others, these people would never distrust their leader. "Ok, will you go by yourself or bring your army?" Small Leader Kui asked another question.

To be honest, he was still feeling a bit worried about the situation of these people, especially if Shi Long Kingdom returned. So he actually hoped that Long Qian Xing could leave some of his army here.

That way, they would be able to deal with the coming of Shi Long Kingdom's army.

It was just in case, though. "Don't worry, there will be some people being left here," Long Qian Xing said and turned to look at Nan Hua. "My army will stay here." Nan Hua didn't want to bring these people with her. After all, these people were technically only 'lend' to her and not really belong to her. For that reason alone, Nan Hua didn't want them to know so much about what she and Long Qian Xing would do. It would be better to just have Long Qian Xing's soldiers whom he had trusted to follow them. "Ok." Small Leader Kui smiled in relief.

It seemed that he didn't have to worry about the safety of the people who were left here. For him, it was good enough.

After all, Long Qian Xing didn't have the obligation to help them if he didn't want to. For him to be willing to come here and protect them was already really good. He would not ask for anything more from these two people.
