Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Nan Luo and snorted.

"That's only natural."

"Hehe."

However, it wouldn't be easy. Nan Luo himself knew that the expectation that was placed on his shoulder was extremely high. There were more than enough people who wanted to see him fail, but Nan Luo was not going to let that happen to him.

No way.

He would strive so that he could truly become the best!

Nan Hua listened to their conversation and then glanced at Mu Sheng Xi. She noticed that he had somehow slowed down his horse a bit so that he could be nearer with the others. With his martial arts, she guessed that he must have heard what Feng Ao Kuai said to those soldiers.

"Feng Ao Kuai."

Feng Ao Kuai raised his head and furrowed his eyebrows. Calling the full name of other people could be said to be rather impolite. Though, if the one who did it was an elder, there was really nothing that they could do.

They would usually be called by their title, either young master, noble son, or even young commander. Calling them by their real name would usually be done by their father or other family members.

"Young Commander Mu, would you please follow the rule?"

Mu Sheng Xi snorted. "Second Young Commander Feng, you do know that it's unnecessary to talk that much to the soldiers, don't you?"

"They're my soldiers. It's only normal for me to reprimand them when they didn't behave the way they're supposed to."

This time, Mu Sheng Xi turned around. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai for a moment before adding, "You don't have to."

Feng Ao Kuai snorted. "Does it bother you?"

"Yes, I mean, no. I'm used to it."

Mu Sheng Xi turned his head and looked forward once more. He was born as a general's son, so his father had high expectation of him from his youth. For so many years, he strived to be able to become a powerful young commander at the battlefield.

Yet, when Long Qian Xing appeared, everything turned into a joke.

He's older than Long Qian Xing, but he couldn't do many things that Long Qian Xing did. Many times, he even wondered just why did he have to be born in the same era with a genius like him.

Those other proud geniuses were all feeling as if their faces were swollen with slaps whenever other people compared them with that young man. Only a few people who could be mentioned to be having similar potential with Long Qian Xing.

And he was clearly not included.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at Mu Sheng Xi and then replied calmly, "Background is also a form of strength. Why should you be ashamed of it just because you can't be compared to someone else who's better than you? All of us could reach this position so quickly which can be attributed to our family background.

Do you think many other people can have the same training environment as us? Do you really think that everyone had the same potential and that mean that whatever other people do, you have to be able to do it?"

Beside him, both Feng Ao Si and Nan Luo were silent.

They all knew how much Feng Ao Kuai didn't like to speak a lot. He would usually stay silent if there was nothing important for him to talk about. It has gotten better than when he was in the past, but he still didn't like to give explanation.

For him to talk this much meant that Feng Ao Kuai himself must have thought about this matter a lot.

"The Heaven is fair. There's a reason why you're born in your family even if you don't understand or hadn't understand it. And stop comparing yourself with other people. Your strength and other people's strength are different.

Your biggest enemy is not other people, it's also not your family, but it's yourself. Only when you can accept yourself and improve your strength, cover your weakness, would you become stronger."

It was something that Feng Ao Kuai thought a lot.

After all, he, his older brother, Nan Luo, and even Nan Hua all had different capabilities and strength.

When they were young, their grandfather had assigned them different training to make sure that they could maximize their gift. And back then, Feng Ao Kuai was still very competitive as he wanted to be better than the others.

And slowly, he realized that it was too difficult.

It's also useless.

He understood very well that he could never compete in strength with Feng Ao Si because their body structure was different. As they grew, he also realized that Feng Ao Si's rapid training to become a strength oriented martial artist was also because he was bad at using his brain and only knew how to use his fist.

For Feng Ao Si, it was a simple matter that didn't require a lot of thinking.

And there was no way Feng Ao Kuai could compete with Nan Hua in terms of speed or sneak attacks. Heck, if he could even detect her when she wanted to erase her presence, that was already good enough. Her skills were already off the charts and for Nan Hua, everything looked so natural as if it was part of herself.

From his early time, Feng Ao Kuai had long known that he would never be able to compete in this aspect with Nan Hua.

But it was different with Nan Luo.

At first, Feng Ao Kuai himself tried to be better than Nan Luo. He didn't want to be last as his pride would never allow him to be the worst among the four of them.

As they entered the battlefield, Feng Ao Kuai watched with his own eyes how fast Nan Luo grow.

It was so fast that Feng Ao Kuai knew that he would never be able to match him.

And then Nan Hua told him that he had his own strength.

That was when Feng Ao Kuai decided to stop comparing himself with Nan Luo, Feng Ao Si, and Nan Hua. He knew that his strength lies in his ability to think and also his long ranged attacks.

In that case, he would continue to improve in this aspect.

He would continue to challenge his own limit and see for himself how far he could go.

That's his conclusion after a long period of reflection.
