Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"And use force?" Kuang Shen asked back.

"When did I use force? It was simply an arrangement from the elders when we were young."

An arrangement that he didn't mind fulfilling.

Some people didn't like the arrangement made by the elders, but Long Qian Xing didn't mind to fulfill it. He did feel discontent at first because he felt that it was really restrictive, but later on, he felt that it was good and wanted to continue following it.

There was no need for him to care for other women either.

That little lass was all he could see.

This is why Long Qian Xing knew that he had set his heart and would not even bother to look at other people. He wouldn't want other people to keep on pushing themselves against him.

Kuang Shen snorted. "Then you should treasure your engagement, as not everyone can be like you."

Long Qian Xing sneered. "If you truly want her, work to get her and not just watch from the side like a coward."

Coward?

Kuang Shen glared, but the other party was not afraid of him at all.

Facing Long Qian Xing, Kuang Shen truly didn't know what he was supposed to say anymore.

He felt frustrated.

Whatever he said didn't seem to be effective to Long Qian Xing. And the more Kuang Shen spoke with Long Qian Xing, the more he would be stripped bare and his real thoughts pulled to the surface.

It was not a good feeling.

In the end, Kuang Shen simply walked away.

Long Qian Xing walked as Kuang Shen walked and shook his head. In any case, he never even considered Luo Qing Wei in the very first place. She's a white lotus who's pure and innocent, but she's not his type.

Luo Qing Wei could be said to be a very kind and soft person. She was the type of person who looked weak and needed the protection of others. But there were also times when she would stand up on her own and show her stance.

Being able to grow up meant that she herself had seen the world too.

But she was someone who believed more in kindness than the cruelness of the world. It was because of this that he felt that the two of them would never be able to get along well.

She was too kind.

Her actions would need to be monitored and protected because there would be others who would take advantage of this kindness of hers.

Even in his original world, he would not pick someone like her.

Unfortunately, Luo Qing Wei just had to fall for him, just like the person with the same name in his original world who was so annoying like a fly.

No, not just the same name.

The same person….

Who is so innocent and thinks that the world is so beautiful and no one would harm her. Despite being so capable in the medical world, she was unable to protect herself properly without her protector.

…

<Long Family Residence, the Front area>

While Kuang Shen and Long Qian Xing were talking, Nan Hua had reached Long Family Residence. Since she would leave for the temple soon, she knew that this would be the last time she would come to Long Family Residence.

Looking at the familiar carriage parked in front of the Long Family Residence, Nan Hua knew that her senior brother and junior sister, Kuang Shen and Luo Qing Wei, were both here as well.

It seemed that the treatment went on for a long time.

Nan Hua had expected as much because it was indeed not easy to treat, and she knew how impossible it was without Luo Qing Wei. Probably, the good thing about the female lead was that she had a pure and kind heart.

That was why she agreed to help without much hesitation.

'Has their relationship progressed?'

It has been two months. Nan Hua didn't come to Long Family Residence for a long time because she was quietly planting her people from Dark Moon Organization to many others in the Capital City. Even if she were to leave this place, she still needed to monitor them.

Having her own people planted would be for the best.

And now, it was done.

Nan Hua walked across the gate and the steward bowed toward her. "Young Miss Nan, Young Master Long will come in a short while."

"Many thanks, Steward Ru."

The steward cupped his fist and retreated in a polite manner. He had seen how much their young master valued this young girl and even dispersed them from time to time to have some private time with her. How could he dare to be impolite towards their future madam?

He still loved his neck.

Nan Hua stayed still, looking at the leaves that had fallen to the ground. It was autumn, and the servants were all busy cleaning up the mess.

Autumn.

Long Qian Xing's birthday was in autumn as well, to be exact, at the end of autumn. It meant that Nan Hua wouldn't be here to celebrate his birthday this year, either.

While she was thinking, she heard faint murmuring from a distance, along with light footsteps.

"Hmph, Brother Long is too much. He must be asking me to come back because it's almost time for war, right? Smelly Brother Long…." Luo Qing Wei murmured under her breath as she walked to the front gate unhappily.

She didn't like the way Long Qian Xing kept on rejecting her. Even though she had been trying to get close to him, he seemed to not have seen her. This made her very sad, but she didn't know what to do.

In the end, she simply complained under her breath.

Not far from her, Nan Hua watched as Luo Qing Wei slowly appeared in the front courtyard. Upon seeing Nan Hua, Luo Qing Wei promptly stopped.

Nan Hua didn't wear a veil this time, which allowed Luo Qing Wei to be able to see her features clearly. Her exquisite face was still a bit round, making her look both adorable and cute. Her hair was tied up in an intricate braid pattern. It just increased her charm with fair skin as white as snow, large eyes brimming with a sense of coldness and detachment, and eyebrows like willow leaves. One look was all that was needed to make people unable to turn their heads away.

Luo Qing Wei herself was holding her veil in her hand since she didn't like to wear one. Her face was clear and flawless, making her look absolutely radiant and enchanting. Her clear eyes were bright, and the corner of her eyes was long. Her curly eyelashes and misty eyes made her look even cuter.

Her round face told others that she was still fairly young, giving off an innocent and pure vibe all around her.

One was a cold and elegant beauty, while the other one was pure and innocent beauty.

The two of them looked at each other before Nan Hua broke the silence with a polite greeting and proper etiquette, "Nan Hua, Young Miss Nan from Nan Family, greets Apprentice Doctor Luo."

"Luo Qing Wei greets Young Miss Nan." Luo Qing Wei quickly followed suit. Her movement was a bit worse than Nan Hua's. This was the first time she ever saw Nan Hua's real face, and she had to admit that comparison was extremely painful.

She might be younger than Nan Hua, but their features alone had told her that Nan Hua was much more beautiful than her. Even without dressing up, those who stood beside Nan Hua could only become a decoration.

What would happen when she dressed up?

'Is she why Brother Long didn't look at me? But I don't remember Brother Long as someone who's moved by beauty.' Luo Qing Wei was a bit confused, but she didn't show it on her face.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. This was also the first time she saw Luo Qing Wei's real appearance since the girl often wore a veil. She had to say that Luo Qing Wei's description was very apt.

Pure and innocent, a girl who didn't know the world but was very kind-hearted and attracted the attention of a lot of people with her excellent medical skill.

At the same time, she's also very beautiful.

The novel mentioned that her beauty couldn't be compared to Nan Hua, but she was still a rare beauty.

Nan Hua lowered her gaze and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Apprentice Doctor Luo."

"I only do what I should do." Luo Qing Wei smiled brightly. "But I must say that Senior Brother Kuang chose to come at the right time. It might be too late if we come a bit longer because…."

As Luo Qing Wei began to ramble on the medical condition of Old Madam Long, Nan Hua listened carefully. She used some terms that could only be used by people from the modern time, so Nan Hua needed some time to get used to them.

She learned a lot.

Unfortunately, it'll be impossible for her to replicate what Luo Qing Wei did.
