Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

They were busy talking when they saw a person walking in their direction. They quickly cupped their fist.

"Young Commander Nan <First Young Commander Feng and Second Young Commander Nan> greets General Long."

"There's no need to be so polite." General Long's attention was on Nan Hua all this time. He had wanted to meet with this little adjutant from back then, but there was not a good chance. He was busy with many affairs at the frontline and Great General Nan was assigned to different post to clean up soon after the joint war ended.

Now that he was in front of the young kid, he had wanted to ask the question he wanted to ask the most.

"Kid, are you affiliated with Nan Family?"

Nan Hua looked at General Long in front of her and cupped her fist. "General Long, Nan Family is where I belong."

It was not a lie but it also didn't reveal many things about herself.

General Long nodded. "Would you be interested to work under other people?"

Nan Luo was speechless. Did this General Long poach someone right in front of the Master?

Even though Nan Luo himself would never admit that Nan Hua is his servant, that was how it was in front of other people's eyes. He felt that General Long truly deserved to be the famous general who didn't play card in accordance to conventional methods.

No other people would be so daring to poach other people in front of their master's faces like him.

"General, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask such question." Nan Luo was troubled but still braved himself to speak up.

He knew that he was not General Long's match, but Nan Luo didn't want to see Nan Hua being taken by Long Family. Hell, he was already very annoyed when he saw Nan Hua got close to Long Qian Xing before. How could he stay calm when the Long Family was interested in Nan Hua's skill too?

On the other hand, Nan Hua was calm. "Nan Family treats me well, General Long."

She was not answering openly, but her words carried the meaning that since Nan Family had treat her well, why should she work for someone else?

"I see."

General Long swept his gaze across the children in front of him before walking away. His words sounded light and seemed as if he didn't care that much.

The three of them were stunned when they saw that General Long walked away. Only Nan Hua was staring at his back with thoughtful expression.

"I thought that General Long would try to poach you…" Nan Luo turned to look at Nan Hua with a complicated expression.

"He's doing that." Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo.

"He gave up quite easily." Feng Ao Si felt dumb.

Feng Ao Kuai frowned and looked in the direction of General Long's back. For some reasons, he felt that the conversation that Nan Hua had with General Long might contain something that could explain why he gave up so quickly, but he couldn't fully understand.

"General Long is not such a free person." Nan Hua glanced at Feng Ao Kuai. "His interest is not that deep."

Even though General Long wanted Adjutant Nan, he would not blatantly show it and forced others. After all, he knew that forcing other people wouldn't grant him anything good.

"I see."

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He sighed internally as he felt that Nan Hua is really good. Right now, she had only showed a fraction of what she was truly capable of, but a lot of people were already attracted. If Nan Hua were to stay on the light in the future, there would be no doubt that she would definitely shine so brightly.

General Long didn't stay in the banquet for a long time and gave some excuse that he had to be present at the frontline again. Being the busy general, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was indeed very busy.

That excuse did work.

And no one tried to stop him.

Some other generals also walked away and didn't have any intention to stay for a long time. Some of them would visit their old friends in the Capital City while some others would just rest. Only a few of them continued their chat and enjoyed the small banquet.

Nan Luo and the others quickly forgot about General Long because several other people approached them. Their intentions were similar as they were interested in Nan Hua. Some were very obvious while some were more tactful.

The immense attention given to Nan Hua really made her feel that she was a spectacle.

She didn't really like it.

"Young Master, I'll be going outside for a while."

"Yes, you may go."

Not only Nan Hua, even Nan Luo, Feng Ao Si, and Feng Ao Kuai were feeling a bit overwhelmed by the attention they attracted. It seemed that the fact that Nan Hua was getting the special reward at the end was too eye catching for many people.

Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. "Be careful."

"I will."

Once this commotion died down, Nan Hua was sure that she wouldn't attract that much attention anymore. Besides, she wouldn't be following her twin brother for some time since she still had something to settle in the Nan Shu Cheng's Family. Her preparation before the war was more than enough, so it was time for her to reap the results.

By the time she was done, the pieces of news regarding Nan would disappear.

Nan Hua slipped out. She blended in the group before moving towards the back garden. There were not many people in this place and only a few group of youngsters could be occasionally seen. Some of them were commanders while some others were just their family members.

It was rather peaceful in this area.

Turning her head to the side, Nan Hua noticed Long Qian Xing walked out with a lantern in his hand.

"Young Commander Long," Nan Hua greeted.
