Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua was surprised to hear the voice from the side. She cocked her head and saw a tender youth standing not far from the door. His hair looked messy but his eyes were shining. Upon meeting with Nan Hua's eyes, the youth's face immediately blushed in embarrassment.

"Senior Brother…" the youth called out.

Shan Yu smirked. "Junior Sister Hua, let me introduce you to your eleventh senior brother, Kuang Shen."

"Nice to meet you, Junior Sister Hua," Kuang Shen quickly greeted. He then used his hand to soothe his hair because it was too messy.

"Nice to meet you too, Senior Brother Kuang," Nan Hua replied succinctly.

There were a total of 12 disciples under Traveling Doctor Liu in total. She was the twelfth disciple and currently the youngest. Kuang Shen was around 5 years older than her and only got accepted by Traveling Doctor Shen as his disciple a few months prior.

Or perhaps a year? She was not totally sure.

"Kuang Shen is currently building his stamina first since concocting medicine can take a long time." Shan Yu shrugged. "Even though this little brat is already this big, he's actually very weak."

Kuang Shen's face was dark when he heard what Shan Yu said. "Third Senior Brother Shan, please don't expose me in front of Junior Sister Hua."

Shan Yu laughed. "Go and train with your Junior Sister Hua. Master is busy concocting medicine right now."

"Ah, okay. Junior Sister Hua, follow me."

"Yes."

Kuang Shen led Nan Hua to the other side at the backyard. From outside, this place was indeed nothing more than a small hut. However, it was connected to a spacious room underground. There were several items in the place and Kuang Shen took some weight to tie it to his wrist and legs.

"If you can't hold on, tell me. And you can use the items in this place as you wished. Master always ask us to train because it'll be important for us to stay healthy if we want to treat patients." Kuang Shen sighed as he looked at his arms.

He hadn't learned much regarding medicine aside from herbs identification. However, he had been sickly ever since he was young, so he was quick in the uptake and could differentiate many different herbs easily. Right now, his priority was to eat well and train his body. He would only learn the medicine in his spare time.

Nan Hua took the weight and strapped it to her arms and legs. Because she had been training with these and even asked her grandfather to make her thin yet heavy armor for training, she didn't really feel much. After adding a few more, Nan Hua began to run in this underground training location.

It was then Kuang Shen found out that he was actually incomparable compared to Nan Hua.

Looking at her still running around the room even though she had sweated a lot, he could only sigh helplessly. Compared to his junior sister, he felt more useless right now.

"Kuang Shen, are you done?" Shan Yu pushed the door open. He looked at the tired Kuang Shen and laughed. "Don't compare to your Junior Sister. She's from a military family."

Kuang Shen: "…"

"Junior Sister Hua, Master had finished making medicine but it's already evening. Do you have anything you want to talk with him?"

Nan Hua nodded. "Today is my birthday and my grandfather asked me to ask Master whether he wants to eat together in Nan Family Residence or not."

Nan Family Residence?

Kuang Shen's face twisted when he heard that name as he looked at Nan Hua in disbelief. Wasn't Nan Family not a military family but rather an ordinary noble family in Fei Yang Kingdom?

"I'll ask Master. Kuang Shen, you still have to continue your training. Also, soak in the medicine I have prepared in your room."

"Yes, Third Senior Brother."

After making sure that Kuang Shen didn't break a bone or anything, Shan Yu sauntered out of the training room. He still had to ask their Master about his intention and also to clean up the small clinic. There were barely any patients but each time someone came; they would be treated well.

On the other hand, Kuang Shen was looking at Nan Hua warily. "Do you know Nan Shu Cheng?"

Nan Hua arched her eyebrows. She had noticed Kuang Shen's strange expression when he heard her said Nan Family. Her mind drifted slightly as she recalled the information she had regarding Kuang Shen. He came from a noble family but the ranking was low.

In addition, he was also poor because of his sickly constitution. His family was trying their best to prolong his life and even seek help from all over the kingdom. However, the result has been pessimistic.

It was only when he finally met Traveling Doctor Liu did he manage to prolong his life.

But at that time, the Kuang Family had met with crisis because they were reported. There was only one survivor of the entire Kuang Family: Kuang Shen.

And the one who reported the Kuang Family was her father, Nan Shu Cheng.

"Mhm, he was my father," Nan Hua admitted readily.

Was?

Kuang Shen blinked his eyes and looked at Nan Hua with unconcealed hostility. His gaze looked as if he wanted to kill her right here, right now.

Nan Hua knew that it would be difficult for her to escape from the shadow of her father's mistake. There were a lot of people whom Nan Shu Cheng had offended in his conquest to get higher status, money, and glory.

Not to mention, Old Master Nan's enemies were also numerous.

After all, he had killed thousands or even millions of people in his entire life.

"If you want to find more information about me, you can easily search for it." Nan Hua looked at Kuang Shen and put down the weights on its place. She had long known that if she came under Traveling Doctor Liu, she would meet with some enemies. "Nan Shu Cheng is quite famous."
