Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

There was no more the easy going and warm Nan Luo.

When the soldier heard what Nan Luo said, his heart felt as if it had been pushed to the bottom of the abyss. He stared at the young boy with disbelief, not understanding how was it possible for someone who looked like a kid to defeat him in less than a moment.

How?

"No…. that's not what I…"

Bang!

"What happened here?"

Nan Luo looked at the side and saw a man donned in armor walked towards him. He instantly knew that the person in front of him was a commander. It was the same pressure as what he felt nearly three years ago when he followed his grandfather to the border.

But the pressure no longer worked on him.

He had worked tirelessly for the past three years, making sure that he had covered up all of his weakness. There was no way he would want to repeat that misery of being unable to do anything when Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Hua were bitterly protecting him.

He would be the one standing at the front this time.

As the leader, as their brother, and also as himself.

"Do you know that Hai Family is staging a rebellion?" Nan Luo repeated the same question as the one he asked. He knew that the commander was present from the very beginning, so he didn't even bother to try explaining what had happened once more.

The commander was only acting.

Nan Luo didn't have the time to play with his game.

The commander stopped in his steps. He looked at the fallen solider beside Nan Luo as his eyebrows arched. Before long, he laughed out loud.

"So what if the Hai Family is staging a rebellion? Do you really think that you're something to the point that you can influence their decision?" The commander looked at Nan Luo up and down. "I have to admit that you're talented, but that's all."

The commander's eyes deepened. "Compared to the Hai Family, you're nothing more than a little ant that's struggling to even surviving."

Nan Luo stood firm in his place, unfazed by the commander's words. Even though it did sound reasonable, but Nan Luo would never think of himself so lowly. He knew his worth and it was not something an outsider deserved to pry into.

He would never give up.

Never.

"Ao Kuai."

Feng Ao Kuai stepped forward with the bamboo scroll. He looked at the commander with an indifferent expression as if the ant they were talking about was actually referring to the commander.

"Commander Shui Tao, a 1000 men commander under Hai Family. You have a wife named Shen Rong and also a daughter named Shui Yu. They're confined in the northern suburbs with several people guarding," Feng Ao Kuai said in unhurried tone.

The commander, Commander Shui Tao, was stunned speechless when he heard what Feng Ao Kuai said. He stared at the bamboo scroll that Feng Ao Kuai was holding as a bad feeling rose within his heart.

"What did you do to them…?" His voice quivered.

"We didn't do anything to your family." Nan Luo scoffed. "Don't lump me together with those disgusting people from Hai Family. The organization under Hai Family, Yi Wa Organization is no more."

The organization under Hai Family, Yi Wa Organization is no more.

This sentence caused the soldiers to be in uproar. They were looking at the two children in front of the with heated gaze.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at them and then continued to say their names and their family members who were confined. Each of them were emotional when they found out that the Hai Family's Yi Wa Organization was no more.

"So, will you stay to stage the rebellion or will you follow me?" Nan Luo asked as he looked at the commander in front of him.

Commander Shui Tao looked at the two young teenager in front of him with conflicted feeling. Who would have thought that someday, the very person who would offer help to him was actually two children who came to this place because of Hai Family's scheme?

He had worked for countless years, trying his best to bring his family out of the Hai Family's clutch, but it never succeeded. He had lost hope, feeling that the only way he could possibly have his family save was by following their order.

Last night, he had even thought that there was nothing he could do.

But seeing these two children…. He knew that there was still hope and without those people from Yi Wa Organization backing Hai Family, he didn't need to fear them.

"I'll follow you, Young Master Nan."

Nan Luo nodded then turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai.

"We're going to the next barracks."

"Got it."

They were running out of time, so they had to hurry and gather more and more soldiers to side with them.

…

Swish!

"Yi Wa Organization is quite a handful." A man in shadow looked at the pile of corpses not far from them.

"Shall we leave now, leader?"

The leader shook his head. "Until reinforcement soldiers arrive, our task is to protect this area so that the soldiers who genuinely belong to Hai Family will not attack them."

*sigh*

One of them leaned on the tree. He didn't understand why they suddenly got such a mission when their task was normally to kill a certain person.

"Does Master Jiu had some kind of design for Kuai City?"

"Don't try to guess what they thought."

"I'm just bored."

"Think about what you want to do with the huge reward from this mission instead." The leader smiled.

The man's eyes lit up. Right, when they accepted this secret mission, the reward was triple the usual assassination reward. It was so much that he knew that he wouldn't be able to waste it all so quickly.

Hmm, the leader was right, he better thought about how to use it.
