Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

No matter how angry Yu Jin was, she couldn't possibly sacrifice her men just to take her revenge.

She had to be patient.

And when Fang Sheng Lin rushed over to the battle, it eventually ended in the fierce duel between them the three of them once more. Naturally, there was no way Yu Jin and Nan Hua would allow Fang Sheng Lin to kill the Mountain Tribe's soldiers recklessly.

The battle turned tense.

And when it was night time, Yu Jin took her weapon and searched for Nan Hua to have a spar. Even after a long day of battle, she still had more than enough energy to have a few hours of spar.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"Do you have any idea to attack that monster?" Yu Jin asked fiercely, attacking here and there against Nan Hua. She felt thoroughly enraged after being unable to kill Fang Sheng Lin.

This time, it was not because she was unable to focus. It was because there was simply no chance for her to kill Fang Sheng Lin even if she focused her entire attention to him!

It was outrageous.

As a genius who was capable of fighting much stronger men, Yu Jin felt thoroughly defeated today. This made her felt annoyed, yet she couldn't do anything but train. She wanted to grow stronger and stronger so that she would be able to eventually defeat that person.

Swish! Clang!

Nan Hua evaded to the side and blocked the attack with ease. She knew that Yu Jin was angry, so she agreed with this spar. However, she couldn't be sure that they would be able to improve so quickly.

In the first place, Fang Sheng Lin appeared much earlier than when he was supposed to. But Nan Hua herself also knew that with her appearance, Yu Jin would definitely be able to handle Fang Sheng Lin.

Their cooperation was not bad.

Swish!

Nan Hua evaded to the side and kicked forward, but Yu Jin reacted faster and halted her movement. She gritted her teeth. "We'll train every night so that we'll get stronger."

"Ok."

Fang Sheng Lin's appearance was also good for her. Nan Hua needed a sparring partner who would not hesitate to kill her but unable to kill her easily. Fang Sheng Lin was a good candidate.

The only downside was that Nan Hua had to be careful because once she died, everything would be over.

She couldn't die.

Not now, not in his hand.

Swish!

"It's enough for now." Yu Jin had finished venting and felt quite tired. They still have a war to fight tomorrow and with the temperature getting colder, training too much wouldn't do them any good. They would be burning calories too fast while they had to keep their ration.

"My men can hunt if you're worrying about food." Nan Hua also stopped. She could guess what Yu Jin was worrying about.

Yu Jin waved her hand. "It's not just that, but I can't always drag you just to vent my feelings. And you shouldn't overexert yourself too much. You're still young, so you need to have more rest too."

Nan Hua was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Good." Yu Jin looked into the distance. Her eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "Until we can behead that monster, we'll keep training."

…

Time flowed like water.

As New Year passed and spring come, the first to lose their patience was Zhang Xu Kingdom. Prime Minister Lei left the frontline at night and paced his horse to the north, leaving the frontline to the general who was stationed nearby.

Both Yu Jin and Nan Hua attacked fiercely, but they were unable to break the defense easily. And with Fang Sheng Lin preventing the two of them from moving forward, they couldn't really do much.

The piling snow had started to melt.

And this naturally meant that the battle would grow even fiercer as time passed.

"For you to come to the north, I really didn't expect this, Prime Minister Lei."

Prime Minister Lei looked at the person in front of him. He was pacing against time because the longer he left the frontline, the higher the possibility it was for both Yu Jin and Nan Hua to break through.

He needed someone to help him maintain the status quo.

Because the Emperor had just given him an order to take the city that General Wei had somehow conquered just a few days ago.

It was a bad news for Zhang Xu Kingdom.

If Fei Yang Kingdom entered deep into their territory, they would be threatened. And Prime Minister Lei would never let it happen so easily. It was especially more so when he was still preparing for the prince he supported to take over the throne.

Zhang Xu Kingdom needed help.

"This is the new offer from His Majesty." Prime Minister Lei looked at the person in front of him. "I'm sure that Fan Yi Kingdom badly need it after this winter, right?"

The man in front of him snorted. "For you to be able to monitor Fan Yi Kingdom's condition so accurately, how many people have you planted inside?"

Prime Minister Lei smiled without answering.

Naturally, the two of them knew that it was impossible for Prime Minister Lei to admit about the people he had planted into Fan Yi Kingdoms. The relationship between the six kingdoms were not harmonious at all.

They were cautious towards one another.

"Can you increase the number?"

"I believe that it's already the highest offer. And if you think that either Qi Xi Kingdom or Wei Da Kingdom able to match the offer, I think that you will know how impossible it was." Prime Minister Lei was calm.

The man snorted. He then waved his hand. "Fine, Fan Yi Kingdom will lend you our hand."

Just like that, the two kingdoms reached an agreement.

The war is far from over.

There were still many things on the stake and many battles yet to be unfolded.
