Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

No one would be able to stop her.

No one but one person.

But because Nan Hua had changed things in Fei Yang Kingdom, she didn't know whether the future would actually follow the same lines or not. And what she actually wanted to know was whether he would follow their demands or not.

If he did... she would forget him.

If he didn't... she had to figure out how to solve this matter.

Nan Hua took a deep breath and regained her composure back. There was no point in dwelling over the things that she couldn't change. All that she could do was to step forward and prepare for the future.

No matter what happened, she couldn't lose.

If she lost, she will lose everything.

...

<Zhang Xu Kingdom, Inside one of the cities>

The city was still operating as per normal as if no one there knew that there was a war going on. And most of them didn't think that much either. They felt that their kingdom is strong and would definitely be able to stand tall and firm no matter what happened.

Thus, they were all extremely confident in themselves.

Inside one of the inconspicuous small hut, a woman was sitting there sipping her tea. She wore dark blue robes with a bamboo in her hand. The bamboo had holes on it, clearly showing that it was the ancient flute.

No matter where Chen Yuan went, she would never leave her flute behind.

A woman in black clothes appeared not far from her and knelt on one knee.

"Miss, there's a report from the frontline. Commander Chen had passed away."

Chen Yuan stopped drinking.

Despite being blind, she could accurately tell where the table was and put the teacup on top of the table. She should have expected this from the moment she heard that he decided to participate in the military.

That stupid older brother of hers.

"He's never suited for military yet he still went." Chen Yuan slowly stood up. Her eyelids opened, yet her pupil never focused. After so many years being blind, it was impossible for her to be able to do that.

"Young Miss..."

"I'm going."

The woman's heart trembled when she heard what Chen Yuan said. All these years, the military had been extending invitation to her because of Chen Yuan's real capabilities that were definitely useful for them.

Yet, Chen Yuan rejected them all these years.

The reason was none other than because she didn't want to make her Master sad. He had taught her a lot of things.

His teaching was not for her to kill other people but for her to save them.

It was also because of this that Chen Yuan would rather become a small doctor. Besides, what would money and glory meant for a blind person like her? She still would never be able to see again.

"Young Miss..."

"Send the letter to Master." Chen Yuan took a deep breath. The only person who ever cared for her back then was her stupid older brother. Even though he had hurt her afterwards, Chen Yuan could never forget what he had done for her when she was young.

Now that he had died, she wanted to take revenge for him.

Even if meant that she will disappoint her Master and had to fight against the other disciples under Traveling Doctor Liu.

The woman looked at her Master and acquiesced. She would always follow whatever Chen Yuan ordered her to do, even if it meant her death. And sending this letter out would mean that Traveling Doctor Liu would be enraged and might even lash out on many other people.

A lot of people were willing to help Traveling Doctor Liu with just one word from him.

Yet, he never summoned those people out.

Chen Yuan stood still and asked her other servants to prepare for a carriage. Since she had decided to participate in this war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom, she would have to meet with the leader and state her terms.

If they refused...

She had her own way to do whatever she wanted.

...

<The Mountain Tribe>

Nan Hua didn't take a long time to reach the mountain again. Before going to the frontline, she wanted to see whether there were still some attacks to the Mountain Tribe by Zhang Xu Kingdom.

If there was any, they might be able to be captured.

"Little Sister."

Nan Hua turned her head and saw Wu Shan stood awkwardly. He still didn't feel comfortable with calling Nan Hua with endearment, so he chose to use another way. But it was still awkward for him.

"You can call me with my name directly," Nan Hua said softly.

Wu Shan nodded. "Alright, Jun Hua. What brings you here today?"

"I want to take a look whether there are any prisoners from Zhang Xu Kingdom or not," Nan Hua paused for a moment, "The one I asked before."

The Mountain Tribe didn't really like to keep prisoners. It was because they would risk their people if any of these prisoners ever got out. Thus, they usually killed their enemies after they had gotten the necessary information when it was needed.

If there was no information needed, they would just kill them.

Wu Shan nodded. "We have caught a few of them. Most of them are wounded heavily. They're restrained inside that building."

"Thank you, Brother Wu."

"It's nothing."

Nan Hua curtsied and then went to the small building that Wu Shan mentioned. Even from outside, she could still sense the thick smell of blood.

Pushing the door open, Nan Hua could see a lot of people inside.

They were in various states.

Some were wounded while some others were in better condition and there were even some corpses there.

Nan Hua knew that with the poison inside their body, many of them would die within few hours after coming here. Only some of them would be able to survive with the medicine that she had passed to Wu Shan before.

'Time to work.'
