Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

With that, Nan Hua followed Long Qian Xing back inside. By this time, the people inside had already moved from one table to another. They didn't really have the intention to stay in the same place and would like to interact more with some people.

As a result, there was also a very eye catching group at one side.

Chi Song Lian was wounded terribly that he only participated in the joint war for one day. Now, only the right arm was still bandaged while he could already walk properly. However, the sight of that bandaged arm caused others to be able to easily spot him.

Right now, he was talking with three other children: Nan Luo, Feng Ao Si, and Feng Ao Kuai.

After the ceremony was over, he spent some time talking with some people then approached the three children.

"It's been a while, Young Commander Chi," Nan Luo greeted with a faint smile.

They just met each other before the reward ceremony. How could it be a while?

Chi Song Lian passed a smile but didn't reply at that remark. He had been paying close attention to the three of them because he was curious about them. Now, he felt even more certain that they were related to each other.

If they were not related, there was no way they would be arranged to sit so close to each other like this.

"First Young Commander Feng, are you perhaps related to Young Commander Nan?" Chi Song Lian chose to ask directly.

Feng Ao Si was speechless when he was asked like that. He might a bit slow, but he could see that Chi Song Lian was trying to fish for information. Looking at the somewhat annoying man in front of him, he was contemplating whether he should answer that question or not.

Beside him, Feng Ao Kuai narrowed his eyes. "Young Commander Chi, have you ever heard that our mother come from Nan Family?"

"Is that so?" Chi Song Lian frowned. He might have heard that information somewhere, but he ended up forgetting about that all. After all, he didn't really pay that much attention to the information of other people here.

Nan Luo smiled indifferently. He didn't think that this was the only reason Chi Song Lian would come to approach them. "Is there anything else you would like to know, Young Commander Chi? I didn't expect that Young Commander Chi would have so much time investigating about us."

Chi Song Lian looked at Nan Luo and felt that his head was stabbed. The mockery within Nan Luo's words were very clear to those who were used to stay in the palace and played with their words.

He was not so stupid.

"The joint war might have been over, but it didn't mean that the battles are going to end so soon." Chi Song Lian looked at the three children in front of him. "Should we be assigned in the same unit, I hope for your cooperation."

The other three stared at Chi Song Lian as they digested the information he gave.

Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai quickly realized that there must be a high chance that the they would be placed in the same unit in the future. Even though the three of them were considered as small independent unit, there were many times when they had to come and participate with others.

It seemed that one of their agenda was a battle alongside Chi Song Lian.

"Likewise, Young Commander Chi." Nan Luo cupped his fist.

Only Feng Ao Si was still blinking his eyes in confusion. He didn't seem to understand what in the world they were talking about.

After that, Feng Ao Kuai noticed that Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were coming in their direction. Song Chuan and Lin Yuan tactfully moved away when they saw the direction where Long Qian Xing headed.

Since it was the location of the other young commander, it was indeed not their place to come and interrupt.

"Young Commander Chi," Long Qian Xing greeted Chi Song Lian before turning to the other three and greeted them one by one. They all replied in accordance to etiquette.

Chi Song Lian looked at Long Qian Xing with his eyes blazing in anger. If not because he was so impulsive back then to follow what Long Qian Xing said, he knew for sure that he wouldn't have ended up so badly like this.

Not to mention, he lost the chance to strike more meritorious deed.

"Young Commander Long, the race is not over yet." Chi Song Lian looked at Long Qian Xing coldly. "Even though you're younger than me, I'll show to you that I'll be able to reach the rank of a general faster than you."

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He smirked. "To have confidence is good, but can you back it up with skill, Young Commander Chi?"

Chi Song Lian snorted.

Feng Ao Si furrowed his eyebrows and blurted out, "I'm also going to become a general and surpass all of you."

The others immediately turned their head to look at him, but Feng Ao Si was not flustered. It has always been his dream to become a general of Fei Yang Kingdom and become someone who marched first to the enemy's line. That was his lifelong dream.

Nan Luo smirked. "My dream is to become a Great General like grandfather."

"A great general, huh?" Long Qian Xing turned to look at Nan Luo. Right now, the young boy was still nothing more than a small commander whose existence could easily be overlooked by other people. "Kid, shall we see who can reach that title first?"

Kid?

Nan Luo glared at Long Qian Xing. This man was only four years older than him, why did he call him a kid?

"I'm not a kid." Nan Luo snorted. "Don't worry, I'll make sure that I won't lose against you in the slightest bit."

"Good, then." Long Qian Xing chuckled.

At the side, Chi Song Lian's face darkened considerably. He also wanted to become a great general, but he also knew that his identity made it a bit awkward. Not to mention, if he was not capable by himself, it would be impossible for him to be able to get that title.

With that thought, his fingers were all clenched into a fist.
