Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

After the long and short conversation with Chi Song, Nan Luo returned to his own tent and only stopped when he was inside. Xiao Yan has been following him all this time loyally without speaking a single word.

Nan Luo was feeling somewhat confused right now, but he also knew that he had nowhere to ask. His grandfather would definitely not want to tell him the truth about Chi Family.

"Xiao Yan, what do you think of Chi Song Lian?" Nan Luo asked.

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes. "Young Master, Young Commander Chi is still a person of Zhang Xu Kingdom after all. It might be unwise to be truly close with him."

Nan Luo pursed his lips.

Even Xiao Yan could guess that Chi Song Lian was aiming for something when he made such favorable situation for Nan Luo. If it was only a matter of asking for help when Nan Luo grew up on the battlefield, Nan Luo would not mind so much.

But if Chi Song Lian wanted to trade with something else that the Nan Family had, Nan Luo would never agree.

He believed that even without this small favor from Chi Song Lian, he would be able to grow up well.

"I hope this arrangement will only last one day."

Xiao Yan said nothing else.

He didn't know much about Chi Family either because the information he had was limited to what was told to him by Old Master Nan. And Old Master Nan didn't want Nan Luo to be embroiled in this kind of matter either.

Whether Chi Family stayed in Fei Yang Kingdom or they chose to betray them in the end was something that only those who were qualified should think about.

The rest would just stay quiet and said nothing.

Nan Luo chose to put the matter to the back of his head and didn't think too much about it for now. He would just fight to his heart content tomorrow and make sure that he would be able to achieve something in this battle even if it was just some small growth.

...

The next day was filled with gunpowder smell.

Nan Luo left to discuss with Chi Song Lian, so he only found out that Feng Ao Kuai was arranged to work together with Mu Sheng Xi the next day when he woke up. He was speechless when he saw Feng Ao Kuai's dark expression.

Considering that Feng Ao Kuai and Mu Sheng Xi had such bad relationship with each other, their discussion must have been a disaster.

Nan Luo could only imagine it.

"Just do your best? We have to defend this valley and prevent them from getting close."

"I'm assigned at that wall." Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Nan Luo. "And since I'm an archer, I applied to work from the wall along with my soldiers."

He didn't want to work with Mu Sheng Xi, so he decided to just apply to head to the wall and stayed there. Even though it was a bit boring to stay in a fixed place, it was much better than having to work with someone who kept on glaring daggers at him.

The discussion with Mu Sheng Xi almost didn't happen at all. Mu Sheng Xi was unwilling to talk with him and Feng Ao Kuai also had his own temper.

Even if Feng Ao Kuai was called as mature by many other people, it didn't erase the fact that he was actually still a teenager. At this age, he also had his temper and impulsiveness just like any other teenagers.

It was just that this temper of his was usually hidden because there was no chance to release it.

When Mu Sheng Xi kept on provoking him like this, Feng Ao Kuai naturally would not hid it anymore.

He didn't want to hold himself back just for this annoying young man.

Nan Luo was speechless.

"Alright, good luck to you."

Feng Ao Kuai nodded.

Though, he would still have to cover for Mu Sheng Xi from that place as Mu Sheng Xi's area is not far from there. Well, he didn't have to deal with the other party directly, so it should be much better, right?

Without direct confrontation, he wouldn't have to come into much conflict with Mu Sheng Xi anymore.

While Feng Ao Kuai was consoling himself, Nan Luo rushed over to Chi Song Lian's side. The two of them acted as if nothing happened the day before and only talked about the tactic. The two adjutants from both sides also acted nonchalant.

It was as if yesterday's conversation and silent conflict never occurred.

"We're defending the left area. I'll be in charge of all the attack while you come in when you have a chance, got it?" Chi Song Lian asked.

Nan Luo nodded. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Good."

Readying his soldiers, Nan Luo was looking forward to work together with Chi Song Lian. His wounds from yesterday battle with Young Commander Shang was mostly healed. Thanks to the repeated wounds and healing, Nan Luo's healing ability had increased rapidly.

At the very least, he knew that he would be able to fight with his full ability without the need to worry.

*gong*

The gong sounded and the soldiers charged in.

Nan Luo stayed within his soldiers as he watched Chi Song Lian yelling the order from a distance for his soldiers to change formation from time to time.

'He's a good leader, just a bit impulsive at times.'

Clang! Clang! Clang!

While Nan Luo was keeping to the battle, he saw a familiar person charging in. The corner of his lips curled up. "So you're here!"

"I'll kill you this time!"

"Dream on!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"You're still as weak as a chicken!"

"You're still as slow as girl!"

The two of them cursed each other and taunted the other party as they continued to swing their blades and fought head on.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
