Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. It was the surname of the Imperial Family in Qi Xi Kingdom, right?

Qi Xi Kingdom was one of the two big kingdoms that didn't border Fei Yang Kingdom directly. In fact, it was located quite far at the northwest that it was very hard for Fei Yang Kingdom to interact directly.

At least, now.

Decades ago, Qi Xi Kingdom was one of the biggest kingdom amongst the six kingdoms in the area. It was so powerful that the other five kingdoms decided to launch a joint attack in order to reduce their arrogance and influence.

During that process, their Emperor and Crown Prince was killed, putting the kingdom in dire states. With only few big cities left, the young prince was forced to take the throne and stabilized the area. Through some methods, they managed to survive and not cease to exist.

Even though so, the overall power of Qi Xi Kingdom was greatly lowered.

Qi Kan Tian.

It was the name of the current emperor of Qi Xi Kingdom… what in the world was he doing in Fei Yang Kingdom?

Qi Kan Tian arched his eyebrows. "You're one of the few people who dared to call me directly with my name, Master."

"Isn't it only natural for me to call you directly with your name? When I meet you nearly two decades ago, you're nothing more than a little brat who can only tag behind me."

"…You haven't changed, Master."

"Anyway, I don't think you come to Fei Yang Kingdom just to see me and your two new junior brother and sister, right? I think I haven't even introduced you to your ninth junior sister and tenth junior brother."

"There's no hurry." Qi Kan Tian was calm. He looked at Nan Hua and his eyes scanned on her up and down. The corner of his lips curled up to form a smile. "I never thought that the old general's granddaughter will be my junior sister."

"Nan Hua greets Senior Brother Qi." Nan Hua was calm and chose to greet him in accordance to his status as her senior brother. If it was based on his status as an Emperor, Nan Hua knew very well that she would never be able to meet him.

"Junior Brother Qi," Shan Yu called from the side. "Are you not worried when you swagger into Fei Yang Kingdom like this? You have to go through either Zhang Xu Kingdom or Wei Da Kingdom's territory in order to get to here."

Inside the room, there were Shan Yu and also Kuang Shen. While Shan Yu was still as relaxed as ever, Kuang Shen had turned into a statue. It was clear that he didn't even dare to greet Qi Kan Tian in accordance to the way he would usually greet other people because of his status.

How could he not know the name of the Emperors from other kingdoms?

"I might be sneaking here, but I didn't come without any reason." Qi Kan Tian smiled. He didn't seem to be that worried even though he was clearly in his enemies' territory. The way he conducted himself was truly impeccable.

Traveling Doctor Liu narrowed his eyes. "What could be so important to make you come personally?"

"Naturally, it's a matter concerning my kingdom."

While the others were annoyed, Nan Hua was very calm. She actually knew that Qi Kan Tian would come to Fei Yang Kingdom, but she didn't know that he was actually her senior brother. He came here in order to meet Emperor Yang Zhou to have a 'talk' with him.

She didn't know the detail of their conversation, but she knew that he did meet with the Emperor and had some agreements.

It was a very important agreement for the future.

But the timeline…

Was it really at this time?

Nan Hua actually didn't know much about the timeline of some things that happened, especially if it only occurred around other people and not Long Qian Xing. The story tended to skip a lot of things unrelated to him.

At this moment, the door opened.

"Master, you're back." A somewhat cheerful and light voice traveled from the door.

Nan Hua raised her head and saw a woman dressed in light blue dress walked in. Based on the way she dressed, she looked like a maidservant. However, the way she walked and behaved showed that she was not afraid of the people inside the room at all.

In fact, she was very relaxed.

"Hua'er, Ah Shen, this is your Sixth Senior Sister, Qi Xue. Qi Xue, this is your Eleventh Junior Brother, Kuang Shen, and your Twelfth Junior Sister, Nan Hua. Ah, she's not part of the Imperial Family but bestowed their surname because of some good deed she does." Traveling Doctor Liu explained.

Qi Xue's eyes landed on the children in front of her as her eyes twinkled. "So cute!"

Kuang Shen: "…" f*** who in the world would call him cute?

Nan Hua blinked her eyes, feeling that this senior sister of hers might be a bit of a fun person.

"Nan Hua greets Senior Sister Qi."

"Don't be so formal with me." Qi Xue giggled. "I'm already tired with so many things I have to pay attention in the palace. Let me tell you that this brat is the hardest to serve because he always makes a lot of officials cry."

Qi Kan Tian's lips twitched. "Qi Xue, do you not believe that I'll punish you to not have meal if you continue like this?"

"I know, I know." Qi Xue stuck out her tongue and laughed mischievously.

Looking at the helpless smile on Qi Kan Tian's face, Nan Hua blinked her eyes. Based on the way Qi Xue greeted Qi Kan Tian, she knew that she was not an imperial concubine. However, it seemed that the relationship between the two of them was quite special.

"Alright, now that I have brought these two, can you tell me why you want to meet with these two?"
