Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

It was something she didn't have.

Si Mo Fan looked at the unfamiliar name and description then nodded. "What should I do if I find him?"

"Try to protect him."

Protect a person of Zhang Xu Kingdom?

Si Mo Fan was baffled as he didn't understand what Nan Hua was planning. He decided to just follow Nan Hua's arrangement. "I'll do that. Is there anything else?"

"No."

After saying that, Nan Hua left the training area.

Si Mo Fan sighed. He had gotten used with Nan Hua's no nonsense and short order since she has always been like that.

"Hui Ling, stay for the night. Xi'er will cook for you today and send the food to Leader Xi's place."

"Okay." Hui Ling nodded obediently.

Watching the boy acted like a good kid, Ji Han Yu snorted. The best way to tame a beast was through food.

It was the same with Hui Ling.

Wait…

Did it mean that he had to find a good cook to take care of Hui Ling's meal?

The thought made Ji Han Yu felt that the order given to him was not a good one….

…

<At the East part of Xia Mountains>

Nan Hua traveled through the forest and mountains towards the east part of the Xia Mountains. There was someone whom she had to meet before participating in the long war.

Tep!

Nan Hua stopped in the empty area. Her eyes were looking forward but her senses were telling her that there was someone here.

Swish!

Moving her body to the side, she effectively avoid the rock that was thrown to the location where she previously stood. She glanced to the nearby tree, to be exact, to the top of the tree.

"Senior Brother Yu."

Yu Zheng Xi glanced at Nan Hua while playing with rocks in his hand. He was still dressed in black clothes with mask as he rarely appeared in front of other people. With a swift movement, he leapt down.

Because Nan Hua sent a message to Traveling Doctor Liu about the fact that she was still alive, he also knew about it. In any case, he didn't have that deep attachment towards his other seniors or juniors.

He treated them politely.

Not close but not that far away either, just appropriate.

"Master is over there. This area still belongs to Shi Long Kingdom. You're breaching the territory by coming here."

Yu Zheng Xi looked at Nan Hua and narrowed his eyes slightly. For some reason, he felt that the current Nan Hua was more dangerous compared to when they met last time.

As a person who volunteered to protect Traveling Doctor Liu whilst being his disciple, Yu Zheng Xi was also very keen at detecting danger. It was also because of this that he could faintly sense that Nan Hua had improved.

And this improvement was not small at all.

If she were an enemy, it would be very troublesome for Yu Zheng Xi to deal with her.

"I won't stay for a long time." Nan Hua looked over and saw her master along with Shan Yu walking in their direction.

Traveling Doctor Liu was carrying a flower in his hand. There were still traces of soil in his hand, so it was not hard to guess that he come to this mountain because he wanted to pick this flower up.

When he saw Nan Hua, his eyes lit up. "Hua'er, you finally come to see me again! Do you know how worried I was when I heard that you died?"

"I'm sorry, Master."

Nan Hua did send a message to Traveling Doctor Liu, telling him that she was actually save and alive. After all, she couldn't possibly let him stay in the dark about her condition when he always worried about his disciples.

She didn't want to keep him in the dark at all.

As her master, Traveling Doctor Liu cared for Nan Hua greatly and would definitely be devastated if he were to hear that his disciple had passed away. She didn't want to let him go through that.

Traveling Doctor Liu sighed. He put the flower carefully in a place that he had prepared and beckoned for Nan Hua to come closer.

In front of Traveling Doctor Liu, Nan Hua was like a little kid as she obeyed his instruction and walked closer. No matter what, Traveling Doctor Liu was already like her grandfather when treating her.

"You little troublemaker." Traveling Doctor Liu patted Nan Hua's head and rubbed it thoroughly. He felt that this little rascal really couldn't stay quiet in one place. Why did all of his disciple always create trouble?

He could never relax at all whenever he was facing these brats.

Nan Hua stayed still, allowing Traveling Doctor Liu to mess up her hair. She hadn't seen him for months because she had been staying in the Capital City to settle a lot of problems. Seeing him again put her at ease.

He was one of the few people who treated her very kindly.

"Mhm." Nan Hua didn't refute Traveling Doctor Liu's words. If he said that she's a troublemaker, then she will just admit that it was true.

There were indeed a lot of problems that she had created all these times.

Traveling Doctor Liu sighed. "The news from the Capital City is indeed not trustable."

Shan Yu was speechless.

He wanted to chide his Master right now. Who was the one who heard the news from the Capital City and insisted on going there as soon as possible?

If not because of the letter Nan Hua delivered, Traveling Doctor Liu would have already rushed over to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City. Thankfully, that letter arrived in time or Shan Yu really couldn't hold him back at all.

"Master, are you alright?" Nan Hua looked at Traveling Doctor Liu. He looked tired even though his body still looked quite energetic.

"I'm fine. I was just busy doing some important things…." Traveling Doctor Liu smiled bitterly.

He really didn't want to discuss this at all.

His disciples were all….

Shan Yu glanced at his Master. "Master, do you forget that you need to make the medicine as fast as possible? Tenth Junior wouldn't be able to hold on for a long time."

Traveling Doctor Liu grimaced when he heard his disciple's name. He didn't come here because he wanted to but because he had to.

That disciple of his was also creating trouble.

"Tell him that when I come back, I'll spank his back!" Traveling Doctor Liu hollered in anger.

Shan Yu smiled helplessly.

He had always been very curious whether Traveling Doctor Liu's qualification to select disciples were for them to be creating trouble. Even when he was young, he had also troubled Traveling Doctor Liu a lot.

The four youngest disciples: the tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth, are all still creating trouble from time to time.

It caused Traveling Doctor Liu to have a lot of headache.

He was just lucky that the three of them were staying in Shi Long Kingdom for the time being so he could watch over them. Still, he felt like spanking their backs whenever he saw those brats.
