Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"You did good." Old Master Nan smiled when he saw the water the soldiers brought. It would be more than enough for them to last for a few days. Not to mention, they could still continue their advance.

"Thank you, Grandfather." Nan Luo beamed.

Feng Ao Kuai only nodded and then added, "There are nearly 4000 soldiers near the riverbank where we were assigned to. To be able to gather that many soldiers, I think that they might have taken them from somewhere else."

Old Master Nan nodded. It was just like Feng Ao Kuai to be so level headed in front of many things. There were not many things that could cause this brat to lose his cool in front of other people.

"We'll investigate it."

"Okay."

The two of them didn't have anything else to report, so they returned to their original location. There were a total of five teams going to fetch water. Aside from them, one had returned successfully since they didn't encounter any soldier but the other three groups hadn't returned yet.

As they came back, they saw Mu Sheng Xi who had finished arranging the tents. Since they were leaving to fetch water, it was naturally his soldiers who was in charge of building the tent for their night rest.

Mu Sheng Xi raised his head and nodded at Nan Luo. "You did good."

After that, he ignored Feng Ao Kuai.

Nan Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw his smart cousin being so blatantly ignored by Mu Sheng Xi.

"Luo."

"Yes?"

"What do you think the punishment would be for a commander who fought against other commanders?" Feng Ao Kuai asked. His veins were slightly bulging as he was considering whether it would be fine for him to ask for a spar against Mu Sheng Xi or not.

To be treated like that just because of an agreement between his parents and Mu Sheng Xi's cousin….

He really wanted to land a punch.

"When did you become so impulsive?" Nan Luo was stunned.

Feng Ao Kuai was silent.

"I think I'm affected by you."

Nan Luo was speechless.

Why did it sound as if Feng Ao Kuai was saying that stupidity could spread to other people? More importantly, Feng Ao Kuai was saying that he was stupid indirectly.

"Shall we have some rest now?" Nan Luo changed the conversation.

"I'm going to wait for Brother Ao Si."

"Okay, I'm going first then. With Dai helping Cousin Ao Si, I'm sure that nothing will happen to them."

After Nan Luo left, Nan Hua was still staying near Feng Ao Kuai. This view would make one wonder whether she was Nan Luo's adjutant or Feng Ao Kuai's adjutant.

"What is it, Nan?" Feng Ao Kuai glanced.

"The distance to the next city is still quite long, so we might have to fetch water everyday." Nan Hua was considering something else. "Aside from that, you should tell your soldiers not to exert their strength and conserve it. The battle where we have to fight fully has not yet arrived."

They were still the backup.

And because of that, they had to preserve their strength to the fullest so that they would be able to display their full strength when it mattered the most.

"I know." Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He glanced at Nan Hua. "You're not here just to say that to me, right?"

"You're doing great."

Feng Ao Kuai was stunned then he smiled.

If Old Master Nan was here, he would surely scold his grandson for being so partial. When Old Master Nan praised him, he barely budged. But when it was Nan Hua who praised him, he was so happy that he smiled.

In Feng Ao Kuai's eyes, Nan Hua's opinion seemed to matter more than his grandfather's.

"I'll continue to do my best." Feng Ao Kuai nodded.

Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Kuai's expression for a moment before turning around to go back. In any case, she was just here to accompany Nan Luo this time and to make sure those Dark Moon Organization members did their job properly.

As for experience at the battlefield?

She had plenty of them.

Feng Ao Kuai didn't need to wait for long because Feng Ao Si soon arrived with Dai. He and his soldiers looked quite dirty, but they were all very energetic as they had just finished their task.

Though, it was clear that half of the buckets were destroyed.

Dai was having an expressionless face. It looked like he had just having to eat another tasteless meal with Feng Ao Si.

He must have been exhausted facing such a brainless young master.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at Feng Ao Si for a moment before turning around.

No matter how much he roasted his older brother on daily basis, there was no way he would want the other party to die. At most, he was just annoyed because Feng Ao Si couldn't use his brain properly.

But when it truly mattered, he would definitely stand by his brother's side. He just would never admit it if people asked that to him.

At the back, Nan Hua was watching everything from the back. She was accompanying her twin brother as usual without any expression on her face.

"Hua'er."

Turning her head, Nan Hua saw her twin brother was already sleeping peacefully. His sleeping posture was really not good as he partially buried his face on the pillow.

His mouth silently muttered, "Hua'er."

Did he have a dream?

Nan Hua walked closer and stretched her hand, tucking her twin brother's long hair to the back. He had similar face to her as the only difference was that his face was more masculine than hers.

Now that he had turned 14 years old, his features had also become more mature.

His height still hadn't changed that much, though.

Probably, that would take a few more years.

"I'm here, Luo."

Nan Hua watched her twin brother for a moment longer before going to her own bed. It was time for her to rest.

Even if it was just a light sleep, it was still rest.
