Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Hua'er?" Feng Ao Kuai noticed that Nan Hua was staring at his face. This made him wonder whether he had something there. He was sure that that he had washed his face when he woke up this morning.

"There's a change of plan. You will tell grandfather about it."

"Again?"

As Feng Ao Kuai looked at the words Nan Hua wrote on the bamboo strip, he was completely speechless. He looked at Nan Hua then at the bamboo strip and repeated the same thing three times.

In the end, he came to one conclusion.

His little cousin is absolutely ruthless!

…

<The Capital City's Street>

After going out of Long Family Residence, Luo Qing Wei's mood could be said to be downcast. She was sad and this appearance of hers could easily entice other people even though she was doing nothing.

"Junior Sister Qing Wei," Kuang Shen called out.

"Senior Brother Kuang," Luo Qing Wei responded. She looked at her senior brother curiously. "What is it?"

"We'll be going from the Capital City in a few days. In the meantime, do you want to take a look around the street? You haven't been to many places aside from Long Family Residence," Kuang Shen offered.

In fact, he was feeling a bit flustered when he saw Luo Qing Wei's situation. He wanted to coax her, help her, hold her, or anything like that. However, he didn't have such courage to do that.

All he could do was to give her an offer to walk around so that she could let go of whatever was inside her mind. He knew that it would be hard for him to make her look in his way, but he was willing to wait and work hard.

Some people would feel right after a short period of meeting.

Some people required more time.

He wanted to try as he didn't want to regret his decision at all. Besides, the two of them were still young at this time.

"Okay." Luo Qing Wei smiled brightly, showing the dimples on her cheek. Her smiling appearance made her look exceptionally beautiful, just like a beautiful rose that was blooming.

Kuang Shen also smiled when he saw Luo Qing Wei smiling. He nodded and prepared her veil. After all, he knew how forgetful this girl could be regarding her veil because Luo Qing Wei didn't like to wear one.

The two of them then walked on the street.

There were a lot of people walking around. It was still evening, so some people were heading back home at this time.

"Senior Brother Kuang, I want some sugar painting."

"Alright, I'll buy it for you," Kuang Shen agreed dotingly. It seemed that no matter what Luo Qing Wei asked him to do, he would willingly do it.

Luo Qing Wei sat on the nearby chair while enjoying the wind. She felt that Fei Yang Kingdom was not too bad. If only the six kingdoms were not in war against each other, how harmonious would it be?

It must be very nice.

"Apprentice Doctor Luo?"

"Yes?" Luo Qing Wei opened her eyes and saw a woman wearing a veil standing not far from her. Even though her body was covered entirely, it didn't change the fact that her stature was very small and weak. It seemed as if she could fall at any moment.

A light flashed within Luo Qing Wei's eyes as she used her ability. Upon seeing the condition of the woman in front of her, she was rather amazed. How did this woman managed to walk around with her entire organs already in such state?

And there was no way she could replace them either.

While Luo Qing Wei was immersed in her thoughts, the woman in front of her didn't have such patience.

"Are you really the apprentice doctor?" The woman asked again, her eyes were focused on the token that was hanging on Luo Qing Wei's waist. She had studied poisons and medicine for so many years and naturally recognized that token.

Not to mention, her grandmother, Old Madam Long, was Traveling Doctor Liu's friend. She had naturally seen those tokens before.

"Yes."

Luo Qing Wei felt that this woman in front of her was rather strange. She didn't look like she was here to ask for help, but she kept on asking about her identity. Was there something that she needed to know?

"You go to Long Family Residence repeatedly, are you interested in that brat?" the woman, Long Xu Nian, asked in cold voice.

"What?" Luo Qing Wei was dumbfounded.

Long Xu Nian's eyes narrowed. She didn't know what her younger brother had been doing lately, but she knew that he had asked for a doctor to check on their grandmother. And the people they trusted the most were naturally disciples of Traveling Doctor Liu.

"Do you want to get close to him? I can help you."

Luo Qing Wei moved to the side and stood up, creating a distance between her and Long Xu Nian. She didn't know who this woman was, but she hated using scheme and anything to achieve what she wanted.

"Miss, I don't know who you are, so please stay away from me."

"You're so naïve." Looking at the look on Luo Qing Wei's eyes, Long Xu Nian was angry and annoyed. She could see that the girl in front of her was very innocent and unaware of the way the world was doing.

Such a naïve and protected little girl was the type of person whom Long Xu Nian hated the most.

"Why should you let what belongs to you fall in the hands of other people? Do whatever you want to take it back! No matter what the cost, it's…."

Bang!

A kick was delivered against Long Xu Nian's stomach. Kuang Shen had returned with a sugar painting in his hand. He never had any qualms of hitting women because he felt that there was no need to care for such discrepancy.

His eyes were cold when he looked at Long Xu Nian. "Madam, my junior sister didn't need you for education."

Thud!

Long Xu Nian tried to stand up, but she found herself unable to stand up. All she could do was to look at the two people in front of her with hatred. She watched as Kuang Shen brought Luo Qing Wei kindly and tenderly.

His careful movements were very clear. And when Long Xu Nian wanted to step forward and stop them, she saw Kuang Shen turned his head and glared in her direction. His eyes contained warning and danger that was extremely clear for one to see.

Long Xu Nian's body shuddered.

This was not the first time she saw a person glaring in her direction, but there were only a limited number of people who would be able to make her feel extremely uncomfortable like this.

First was her father.

Second was her younger brother.

This was the third man.

And Long Xu Nian's stretched hand halted midway. All she could do was to watch as Kuang Shen walked away while still holding Luo Qing Wei tenderly in his arm. Luo Qing Wei didn't even spare another glance in Long Xu Nian's direction as if she was just an unimportant stranger in her life.

Even if Luo Qing Wei was a kind person, she still could differentiate those who approached her with malice and those who don't.

After Long Qian Xing delivered a huge blow to Long Xu Nian, she had a hard time controlling her emotions. It was to the point that even a rather slow and kind person like Luo Qing Wei knew that she was up to no good when she approached her.

And with Kuang Shen coaxing her, how could she have the time to care?

Thus Long Xu Nian was practically forgotten and laid on the ground so miserably like that.

Thunk!

Punching on the ground, Long Xu Nian felt extremely angry and frustrated. Even ordinary disciples of Traveling Doctor Liu, who was only an ordinary commoner, was able to grow up being protected like that.

She despised those kinds of people.

They didn't have to do anything but there were already a lot of people who were trying to curry favor from them.

Why were things always so difficult for her but other people always have it easy. They didn't even have to work hard and yet everything was in their favor. She felt that the Heaven was unfair.

Those people have it easy but she always struggled so badly.

Long Xu Nian struggled to get up and returned to Wen Family Residence. No matter how much she hated to come here, she still had to because her identity was that of the madam of this residence.

Wen Family was not involved in the matter of treason and so on. Even though they were relatively neutral, they didn't do any crimes that could be brought up. At most, there were some minor offense that was not worth mentioning.

When comparing to those who dared to betray Fei Yang Kingdom, what was their crimes worth of?
