Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Good."

That was the only thing Long Qian Xing said to Shangguan Yu before he walked out of the room and closed the door.

Shangguan Yu chuckled as he dragged his body to the bed right beside the chair. The fact that he was a cripple was naturally the truth and Shangguan Yu himself knew that there was no one who could possibly heal him.

He always dreamed big and when Princess Hu approached him because she wanted to ruin someone else, Shangguan Yu simply agreed. In any case, he didn't have to do anything but to wait here after they 'dragged' him to come.

Looking at Princess Hu on the bed, Shangguan Yu chuckled.

"You brought this upon yourself, Your Highness."

…

The smell was nauseating and Long Qian Xing had no interest to stay close to the drawing room. He brought Nan Hua a bit further away so that they wouldn't have to listen to the voice those two were making.

Under the effect of the medicine, their exercise was very loud and filled with passion.

Nan Hua stood at the side when she felt two hands covering her ear. "Children shouldn't listen to this."

"I'm not a kid." Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing, who stood behind her and covered her ear with his hands. And she had even seen worse things with her own eyes because of the mission. After all, sneaking in when her opponents were weak was something that she would naturally do.

When they were having this exercise, how could they have the time to care about anything else?

It was a perfect time to attack.

Long Qian Xing looked at the young girl helplessly. "This is not a good thing for little girl to listen."

Nan Hua was speechless.

Why did she feel that this man was treating her as if she was his daughter? She was not that small and didn't think that it was that strange for her to have the basic knowledge about this matter.

If she was not skilled enough, the assassins were taught to use this method to get close to their target.

Naturally, she didn't use it since it was unnecessary.

And it was a bit hard for her to use her small figure back then to tempt her target because she hadn't grown up enough. What she relied on the most was naturally her skill rather than her beauty.

Unlike the current Nan Hua, her looks back then was not enough to bring down cities.

Though, it was still pretty good.

After all, Nan Hua could still remember some problems that stemmed when she turned into teenagers because of her face.

"Okay, Brother Long."

Even though Nan Hua didn't know why Long Qian Xing didn't want her to listen to those two, Nan Hua simply obeyed him. It was not like there was anything interesting to listen from those two either.

Long Qian Xing smiled wryly when he saw Nan Hua being obedient. He really wished that she would not listen to others because it would just give her a bad education. When she was old enough, he would teach her personally.

*cough*

Keywords: old enough.

He was not that impatient that he would lay his hand on an underage girl.

As the noise from inside grew louder, Long Qian Xing grew a bit irritated. He didn't want to listen to them either. It was too bad that his martial arts were too good that it allowed him to listen very clearly.

And it was at this time he heard something that caused his expression to change.

"Brother Long?" Nan Hua noticed his change in expression and wondered what could possibly he heard to cause his expression to turn so chilly that it looked like he could freeze the entire continent.

"It's nothing, Hua'er." Long Qian Xing forced a smile as he looked at Nan Hua. However, he had started to think that this punishment was not enough for Princess Hu.

They didn't need to wait that long because Empress Dowager Yan and the others soon arrived. Nan Hua noticed that Princess Mu Fei Xin and Prince Yang Lu looked a bit worried. Their gaze seemed as if they were looking around for someone.

At this time, Long Qian Xing unwillingly withdrew his hand. With the commotion from these girls, the sound from that side room was no longer as loud as before.

"His Highness and Her Highness are upright people." Nan Hua looked at Prince Yang Lu and Princess Mu Fei Xin and could guess that the two of them must have been looking for her. There was no one else that Princess Mu Fei Xin nor Prince Yang Lu close to from the other girls.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He looked at the two of them and chuckled. "Yes, they're now."

Now?

Recalling the past where Prince Yang Lu behaved unreasonably, Nan Hua could guess why Long Qian Xing made that remark. However, children were mostly following what they were taught and many didn't even know for sure whether they were correct or not. It was hard to blame children for things they hadn't understand yet.

Well, Prince Yang Lu was around 14 years old when he tried to take the throne, though. He was already old enough but still followed his mother around.

"People can change," Nan Hua said in a low voice.

"Mhm." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "Yes, some people can change."

Some others would not change no matter how much time was given to them.

Of course, Long Qian Xing had no plans on saying the rest of the sentence to Nan Hua. In his opinion, it would be better for Nan Hua not to know too much about these matters. Those kind of people were the most annoying people he ever met in his life.

At this moment, Long Qian Xing noticed Prince Yang Lu looked in their direction. He stepped to the side slightly to maintain his distance from Nan Hua. It wouldn't be too good for them to be seen too close together.

Prince Yang Lu seemed surprised but a smile formed on his lips afterwards.

It seemed that he was relieved.
