Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua nodded and watched as General Wei left.

Truthfully, the agreement between Fei Yang Kingdom and the Mountain Tribe would happen on their own later on. But at that time, the war would have already heated up and there were already a lot of losses on each side.

But Nan Hua didn't come to the Mountain Tribe just to reduce the losses.

She had her own reason.

'Time to go back.'

...

<The long border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom>

It was only two days later that Nan Luo realized the real reason why the battle with Zhang Xu Kingdom suddenly turn rather strange. There were still battles, but it was no longer as fierce as before.

Part of the army was directed to deal with the Mountain Tribe who suddenly barged in.

"I can't believe that you actually make a deal with them so easily..." Nan Luo was a bit speechless when he heard that Nan Hua told him that he had another sister. Though, he decided to ignore that since Nan Hua introduced herself as Jun Hua and not Nan Hua to them.

It could be said to be two different people, right?

Just say yes.

Nan Luo didn't want to accept any other answer.

"It's hard to guess what's inside her mind." Nan Hua passed a glance at Nan Luo. It was still Summer, so there was still some time before she would leave. "Luo."

"Yes?"

Nan Luo stood straighter. Whenever Nan Hua called him with his name directly when she was dressed as Nan, he knew that she wanted to say something important.

"I'll be leaving your army in Winter."

"Eh?" Nan Luo was stunned. "Why?"

Why?

When Nan Hua came here, she heard the report from Xiao Yan about Nan Luo's battle and also his improvement. It was also then she realized that her twin brother didn't actually need her to stay by his side all the time.

Coming here was nothing more than her own selfish request because she wanted to stay with her twin brother.

But seeing his growth, she also realized.

It was time for her to leave soon.

Her capability in fight had long reached far above Nan Luo's rank. If she continued to stay here, she wouldn't be able to grow as fast as she was supposed to be. Because of that, she would have to leave after she had mastered how to give order while having a lot of fights in the battlefield.

To split her attention and paid close attention to the entire battlefield... it was not easy, but Nan Hua knew that it was not impossible.

"I will be at the battlefield... as Jun Hua."

Nan Luo was silent.

He looked at his twin sister and felt a bit unwilling. Even though he knew that Nan Hua's decision was indeed the best for the two of them, he didn't want to be separated from his twin sister.

His current rank was indeed too low for Nan Hua.

Should Nan Hua used her real ability, she would have long been able to build her own army and ranked much higher than him. But she had been staying by his side and cooperated with him.

She helped him to settle and grow.

Now that he didn't need her close protection, it was time for Nan Hua to leave and to do what she actually wanted to do.

If he forced her to continue staying here, it would be nothing more than his selfish desire to tie her with him. But he also didn't want to see his twin sister be sad, so Nan Luo knew that he had to let her go.

"Ah... I should have known that this will come." Nan Luo sighed and turned around. He was sure that his face must have looked like a mess. "Take care of yourself, okay? We'll work together later."

"Mhm. I won't leave directly." Nan Hua leaned at Nan Luo's back. She didn't try to peek and look at his face because she could sense that he must not want her to see him. His back felt warm.

"There are still a few more months."

"That's good. I'll make sure that the next few months are fun!"

"Mhm."

At the door, Feng Ao Kuai didn't step inside. He had been standing here for a long time because he wanted to have a talk with Nan Hua. But listening to the twins talking with each other, he didn't want to disturb them.

Even though he's also close with Nan Hua as her cousin, it could never be compared to her twin brother.

Feng Ao Kuai rubbed his nose.

He looked at the door and decided to talk tomorrow.

...

Time passed swiftly.

Season changed and now it was autumn.

Nan Hua still stayed within Nan Luo's army while learning how to give order while fighting. At first, she couldn't give order properly and nearly died in the hands of the soldiers. But after some time, she learned how to balance it.

Though, it was still not completely perfect.

But Nan Luo himself was amazed when Nan Hua was able to give order without even looking towards the other soldiers.

Her grasp of her surroundings were so terrifying that Nan Luo felt that he was nothing compared to her.

Even Feng Ao Kuai simply said that his little cousin is a monster.

Aside from that, the negotiation between Fei Yang Kingdom and the Mountain Tribe was also going smoothly. Well, not that smooth as they had to go back and forth a few times before they finally reached an agreement that was personally signed by the Emperor.

Starting from the early autumn, the Mountain Tribe had started to fight Zhang Xu Kingdom actively.

Facing two sides... they basically fell into a deadlock.

Neither Zhang Xu Kingdom nor Fei Yang Kingdom could gain an advantage over the other party.

And then...

The cases started.

"What do you say? There are some people who are reported to be sick and crazily attacking other people in the villages?"
