Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

A few years? It was more than a decade.

Yu Zheng Xi snorted then looked at his Master. "There are some messengers who want to meet you, Master."

"Someone sick?" Traveling Doctor Liu asked.

"Yes."

"If it's the one from before, just ask the others to handle him. They're already capable enough to take care of those people."

Yu Zheng Xi nodded. He was silent for a moment before asking, "Master, can I meet with twelfth junior?"

"You want to meet her?" Traveling Doctor Liu was surprised.

Yu Zheng Xi nodded.

Traveling Doctor Liu caressed his beard as he thought about it. Some of his disciples were martial artist while some were… ordinary people who was forced to grow stronger under his tutelage. He had been thinking that his fifth disciple was somewhat similar to his twelfth disciple.

However, his fifth disciple didn't like meeting with other people due to his special identity. It was also because of this that he had been hesitant whether he should bring Nan Hua to see Yu Zheng Xi or not.

To think that he would ask it first.

"Sure."

"Ok."

Swish!

Seeing his own disciple disappeared in front of him, Traveling Doctor Liu was utterly speechless. He rubbed his forehead and began to feel that his decision to accept his disciples back then backfired now.

All of his disciples… have their own idea of how they should do things.

"Shan Yu, you're not planning on creating trouble again, right?" Traveling Doctor Liu asked in somber tone.

Shan Yu, who was cleaning up, was speechless. Why did he get dragged into the mess when he was doing nothing?

"Master, I'm no longer young."

"Are you saying that you only create trouble when you're young?"

Shan Yu couldn't say anything to refute it. When he was young… he had created countless troubles for his Master. It was all should be left unsaid or things would turn sour.

Traveling Doctor Liu sighed and didn't say anything else. Why did he feel that his disciples were all more worrying one after another?

"Tenth Junior is also sending letters, Master. He hopes that you can pay a visit to him."

"…Tell him that traveling across the border is too difficult."

Shan Yu: "…." Master, just be honest and say that you didn't want to stay near that troublemaker.

The tenth disciple was still fairly young and Traveling Doctor Liu met him a few years ago. Since the disciple didn't want to leave, Traveling Doctor Liu left him be when he began his so called 'fate journey' to Fei Yang Kingdom. It was then Traveling Doctor Liu met Kuang Shen last year then Nan Hua this year.

He hoped that his master had no intention of expanding the circle more.

"Master."

"Kuang Shen, you should rest more. Even if I have treated you with medicine, your body is still relatively weak."

"Yes, Master."

Shan Yu was silent for a moment before looking at his master. "Master, isn't ninth junior in Wind City inside Fei Yang Kingdom? I heard that she moved there a few years ago with her brother."

Traveling Doctor Liu nodded. "Yes, we'll visit her when we reach the city."

"Alright, Master."

…

Swish!

Nan Hua was still lying down on her makeshift bed, but her eyes were wide open. She was staring at the trespasser who came into her carriage without informing anyone. From his agile movement and also way of doing things, she could guess that his skill was not any lower than her.

"What do you want?" Nan Hua asked in a low tone.

The man, Yu Zheng Xi, was staring at Nan Hua with curiosity. "Where did you learn that skill?"

"What skill?" Nan Hua slowly sat up and looked at the intruder.

"Sensing skills."

Nan Hua arched her eyebrows. She naturally learnt it from her past life, but it would be impossible for her to say that here. Not to mention, she was not sure which organization this annoying man belonged to.

There were too many organizations in this era and even Feng Ao Kuai could only remember the major organizations. The small ones that only operated within a small area was easily forgotten.

"Nan Family," Nan Hua answered. "Are you Master's disciple?"

"Fifth one," the man replied. He thought that it was not enough, so he continued, "Yu Zheng Xi from Yu Family."

Yu Family?

There was no Yu Family in Fei Yang Kingdom. At least, not amongst the major ones. Thus, his name alone had told Nan Hua that he belonged to a completely different kingdom, one that might be hostile with Fei Yang Kingdom not far in the future.

Not that she was worried, though.

"I see."

"Are you affiliated with any organizations?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Yu Zheng Xi was silent for a moment. "Be careful. Some organizations are not good and treat their members as trash."

Nan Hua arched her eyebrows. He was… warning her? Looking at the uncle in front of her, Nan Hua silently nodded. It felt a bit weird for having strangers worrying about her when they didn't even know each other.

The line that connected them was simply the thin thread of her being her master's disciples.

Swish!

Without bidding farewell, Yu Zheng Xi had disappeared once more.

Nan Hua stayed still for a moment, feeling that her fifth senior was quite peculiar. He was already an old uncle and yet, he was still hiding in the darkness.

But of course, Nan Hua knew the reason.

However, she had no intention of prying into his past relying on the information that she had from her past life. There were a lot of characters and many of them might take different path because of her appearance.

Soon, what she knew would be unreliable.

After the next big war at the border of Fei Yang Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom, Nan Hua knew that the gear towards Emperor Yang Zhou's grand ambitions would start to move even faster.
