Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Jogging to climb down the mountain for the nth time, Nan Hua was glad that she had tempered her current body before coming here. If she came here a few years ago, she was sure that she would have run out of breath.

However, even now, she has already begun to feel a bit sore.

Probably, she had exerted herself a bit too much.

"When is the last time you take a rest?" Yu Jin asked after they bypassed the second mountain. Using the narrow valley between the mountain was easier, but it was filled with Mountain Tribe men.

Previously, Nan Hua hadn't used it because of this very reason.

"Two days ago."

"You're still a kid, so you should rest more." Yu Jin frowned and passed a look at Nan Hua. Honestly, she wouldn't be able to guess that Nan Hua hadn't rested if she hadn't calculated the time needed for Nan Hua to climb up and helped her just now.

After all, that was rather urgent, so Nan Hua had to move away directly.

She hadn't thought that the young woman needed rest.

"I can rest later."

"Silly. It's not like we can't scout tomorrow morning." Yu Jin pointed to one side. "There's a cave there. Let's go and have some rest."

Nan Hua was silent.

"You're my younger sister, so listen to my words."

Fine.

Nan Hua followed Yu Jin to the nearby cave that she mentioned just now. The cave was located behind the trees and other plants. It allowed this location to be relatively hidden and couldn't be found easily.

The cave itself was not big and probably only enough for a few people to stay.

It was already dark, but the two of them didn't seem to mind the darkness at all.

"Do you need help preparing your bed?" Yu Jin asked.

"No need."

She just needed some plants to make the ground a bit softer. Rather than lying on top of that hard rock, lying on a layer of plants would be much better.

"Tsk, you're still so young but you have already pushed yourself this much. Do you not have any family members who will worry for you?" Yu Jin complained as she sat near the edge of the entrance.

Nan Hua passed a look at Yu Jin but didn't answer.

And Yu Jin herself didn't really need Nan Hua to answer.

"Do you have siblings? Other than me, I mean."

Nan Hua: "…"

"Well, if you do, you should treat yourself better. Just like you'll worry for them, they'll also worry for you if something happens to you." Yu Jin stretched her hand lazily. "You want the best for your family, they also want the same to you. So, the best thing you can do is to take care of yourself well. That way, they wouldn't need to worry about you."

Nan Hua looked at Yu Jin.

She could remember her grandfather and Nan Luo, who would be worried whenever she did something that could be said a bit outrageous. Even though she had told them that she would be fine, they still didn't rest easily.

And when Nan Luo was going to the frontline, isn't she the same?

She couldn't rest easy knowing that Nan Luo would be staying far away from her and had to face danger on his own.

While Nan Hua was contemplating while making her makeshift bed, Yu Jin was observing Nan Hua. The corner of her lips curled up. "So you do have family members, Hua Hua."

Nan Hua ignored her.

Yu Jin didn't really mind. "Well, it'll be weirder for you to not have any family member. Your basic etiquette is much better than me. It can't be faked as it's part of your natural body movement."

She's observant.

From the very beginning, Nan Hua had known that Yu Jin was a dangerous person because of her ability. One of the reasons why she was able to become the Mountain Tribe's leader was because of her ability to deduct a person's condition and state.

She could guess their past, their problems, and even helped them to solve their problems.

It was also why everyone trusted her a lot and wanted to help her to achieve her dream in this Mountain Tribe.

"Did you train hard to be able to help your family? If you do, then you also need to trust them."

Trust them?

This time, Nan Hua raised her head and looked at Yu Jin. She didn't understand what the other party was explaining at all.

"You can't possibly stay with your family members forever, can you?" Yu Jin was amused when she saw the confused look on Nan Hua's face. She really looked like him. "They'll grow up and you too will grow up. Eventually, you will build your own family and leave them to be on their own. You can't always stay by their side to protect them, so you have to trust them.

Trust that they'll be fine and that what they had been preparing is enough for them to survive in this harsh world."

Nan Hua looked at Yu Jin.

She could see the concern deep within Yu Jin's eyes. It was as if she truly wanted to help Nan Hua.

Ah, this is why she didn't want to come here at first.

Meeting with Yu Jin would make one feel as if they were an open book, being read by others so easily. Yet, it was also the charm that Yu Jin had that allowed her to become so powerful that a lot of people feared her.

"Aren't you the same?" Nan Hua threw the question to her.

Yu Jin was stunned then laughed again.

This was already the fourth time she laughed in front of Nan Hua today, but she felt that it was not enough. Meeting with this young girl was very amusing for her and allowed her to feel comfortable around her.

"Yeah, I guess so. I'm not that good of a sister." Yu Jin grinned.

Nan Hua turned around and laid on her makeshift bed. Her eyes glimmered for a moment before she fell to sleep in just a few seconds. However, her body would still be able to turn and move when danger arrived.

There was never any rest for her.

Not even when sleeping.
