Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

When he made that decision, Feng Ao Kuai felt freer and calmer than he ever be.

He also realized that it was the best decision he could make and there was no longer any shackles that hindered him anymore. Since then, he slowly stopped comparing himself and just continued to improve.

As long as he's better than he was yesterday, that would be enough.

Step by step, he would certainly get stronger in his own pace and through his own path that was most suitable to him.

"That's easier said than done." Mu Sheng Xi looked at Feng Ao Kuai and nodded. He had to admit that Feng Ao Kuai was more mature than him and seemed to have more wisdom. But he also knew that what Feng Ao Kuai said was easier said than done.

Was it possible for him to change overnight?

That was impossible.

He would need process and slowly changed his mindset. Because only when he no longer focused so much on other people would he be able to truly grow stronger.

"I know."

For Feng Ao Kuai himself, it was not easy. To watch other people getting stronger while he himself felt that his progress was slow, it was not easy. However, Feng Ao Kuai firmly believed that he would definitely be able to continue improve.

Even if it was only little by little.

Even if it was slow.

He would make sure that he could achieve his goal at the very end.

"I see."

Mu Sheng Xi didn't speak anymore and ordered his horse to increase the pace a bit to increase his distance with the three young commanders. He had to admit that his impression of Feng Ao Kuai had grown better.

But he still didn't want to accept him as his cousin in law.

Though, he knew that it was time for him to start truly improving himself so that he could truly grow.

If he stayed like this, he might never be able to reach his goal of becoming a general like his father.

"I don't know you have a lot of reflection, Ao Kuai." Feng Ao Si turned to look at his younger brother. He had to admit that he didn't understand more than half, but he could infer that Feng Ao Kuai must have experienced a long struggle in order to be able to reflect that much.

"I'm using my head too much." Feng Ao Kuai was calm.

He knew that he often overthinks some matters. It was also because of this that he had to search for logical explanation for many things or he wouldn't be able to calm down. It could be said to be both his weakness and strength.

And it was also because of this that he would need to sort his mind before he could truly focus on something.

"That's a good reflection." Nan Luo grinned. "I'll also strive to continue becoming stronger so that I can protect Hua'er!"

Feng Ao Kuai: "..."

He turned to look at Nan Hua, who was still expressionless. For Nan Luo to have that goal, it could be said that he would really need to wait for so many years. He even highly doubted that Nan Luo could ever defeat Nan Hua.

Even now, Nan Hua could beat him with ease without even using much strength during their duels.

But seeing his older brother and cousin didn't seem to mind his long reflection, he also felt relieved. He didn't want them to think that he was thinking too much or anything like that, so seeing them acting normal relieved him.

"Though, if you want to be stronger, I don't mind sparring with you everyday, Ao Kuai." Feng Ao Si grinned.

"Yes, I can spar with you too." Nan Luo also grinned.

Feng Ao Kuai rolled his eyes. "There's no need."

These two would beat him to pulp if he dared to spar against them. After formally entering the military, both their strength in close combats had soared greatly that he knew he was not their match anymore.

Even using tricks were useless.

When the differences in strength was too big, all kinds of tricks had become useless.

"Prepare for battle."

When the three of them heard Nan Hua's warning, they quickly waved their hand, giving signal for their soldiers to be alert. Even though they didn't sense anything, they knew very well that Nan Hua had the highest senses.

Nan Hua could faintly sense that there were several people who were coming, which was why she warned them.

Their number was not enough for a complete ambush, though.

Considering that they brought a lot of soldiers, Nan Hua guessed that it might the scout team....

Wait, if they were the dolls...

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Clang! Slash! Clang!

"What the hell?"

One of the soldiers were stunned when he saw that the one who attacked him was a child who was barely 13 years old. Their small bodies startled the soldiers greatly as they didn't have the heart to attack such a young child.

"Defend!"

"Don't lower your guard!" Nan Luo shouted. He looked at the young man in front of him as his heart sank. There was no way he wouldn't recognize this young man because they had participated in classes in the Capital City together.

He had seen the other party a lot.

"What are you doing here?" Nan Luo shouted.

The young man in front of him didn't seem to listen to Nan Luo. He only took out the knife in his pocket and then charged forward.

Thud!

Nan Luo evaded and then kicked the young man. He furrowed his eyebrows because he remembered that this young man should have been quite strong back then. Why did his movements become so uncoordinated and weak?

What had happened for the past few months?

As Nan Luo hadn't been in the Capital City for a long time, he hadn't seen many of his former classmates. Some of them still continued to participate in the classes, but there were also a number of them who departed to the frontline.
