Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Long Qian Xing keenly realized the faint emotion that Nan Hua emitted. After interacting with Nan Hua, he knew that she rarely changed her emotions but it had become richer recently.

Just like now.

She had her own preferences and things that she actually liked. But because she never thought about it before, Nan Hua never noticed it. 

"You don't have to entertain everyone with your status," Long Qian Xing reminded when he thought that Nan Hua didn't have much experience in this matter. "Only those of similar status or higher would be good."

Nan Hua nodded. "I understand."

"Good."

The two of them went their separate ways. Anyway, it was impossible to stick together when they were dealing with these commanders and other nobles.

…

<Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai's side>

While Nan Hua was trying to socialize, Nan Luo followed his cousin to the banquet location. He had separated himself from Feng Ao Si, who seemed to be avoiding them too. 

It seemed that the rebuke Feng Ao Kuai given to him made him unwilling to come forward and talked with Feng Ao Kuai just yet.

"Young Commander Wei," Nan Luo greeted when he saw Wei Mu Bai approaching him. 

Wei Mu Bai nodded. "Young Commander Nan."

"Is there anything?" Nan Luo asked. After the cooperation with Wei Mu Bai at that time, the two of them interacted a bit from time to time. Not to mention, Nan Luo wanted to court his sister, so he was trying to maintain his relationship with Wei Mu Bai.

At the very least, he couldn't make his future brother in law to see him in a bad light. 

"My father had mentioned that we might be assigned at the same frontline. If there's any chance to cooperate again, I hope you would not refuse," Wei Mu Bai replied unhurriedly.

Same frontline?

Nan Luo had also heard that he would be assigned to the west area, dealing with the rest of the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom who still didn't want to accept reality. This meant that Wei Mu Bai was given the same mission.

"Please take care of me in the future." Nan Luo cupped his fist politely.

Working together with Wei Mu Bai was not that bad. At the very least, he was not the type of person who would take other people's contribution for his own and tried his best to be fair. 

For him, cooperating with Wei Mu Bai should be good. 

He would be able to gain more experience too. 

"Also…" Wei Mu Bai thought about Nan Luo's injuries from before. During his cooperation with Nan Luo, it seemed that Nan Luo kept on getting injured, making him a bit ashamed for being the one to propose the cooperation yet he was the one who gained more advantage and reward. 

"Yes?"

"It's about…"

"Mu Bai."

Hearing the call, Wei Mu Bai's body stiffened and quickly turned around. Looking at his father, he greeted hastily, "Father."

"You will be under me for the time being." Great General Wei swept his gaze past Wei Mu Bai and then glanced at Nan Luo. "You too."

"Yes, Father."

"Yes, Great General Wei."

After informing that, Great General Wei walked away once more, talking towards the other people who came towards him.

Nan Luo blinked his eyes and turned to look at Wei Mu Bai, wanting to know what had actually happened. Unfortunately, Wei Mu Bai's expression was equally filled with confusion.

What was stranger was that Great General Wei came to them, only to say this one sentence?

Nan Luo also felt a faint hostility coming from Great General Wei when he looked in their direction.

Is it just his feeling?

He felt that there was something bad about to happen. 

"I don't know why we'll be under him but perhaps, Father wants us to deal with the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom faster? His main task is basically the same," Wei Mu Bai replied with hesitation.

From what he knew, his father was also given the same task with him. But with his father's personality, he was usually given freedom and didn't have to follow his father so much. At least, for the past few years, he rarely followed his father unless it was absolutely necessary.

When he first came to the battlefield, he did follow his father. But after he had his own army and could lead them on his own, his father no longer supervised him for a long period of time anymore.

After all, he had already grown up.

And what Great General Wei wanted was a successor who could make his own decision and didn't rely on him all the time. If he kept on following Great General Wei, he would not be able to grow up as a proper commander.

Without these rich experiences, he wouldn't be able to become a good commander like how he currently is. 

"Perhaps…" Nan Luo looked at Great General Wei's back, feeling that he had an inkling as to why Great General Wei was pulling him to be under Great General Wei.

Thinking about the fact that his twin sister had come and approached Great General Wei about his intention to marry Great General Wei's second daughter, it might be the main reason for him to do this.

It seemed that he would be under the heavy supervision of his future father in law and also future brother in law.

Oh, the future brother in law still didn't know about it, though.

Nan Luo sneaked a look at Wei Mu Bai and decided to keep this matter a secret for the time being. He didn't want to invite trouble on his own by telling Wei Mu Bai that he was coveting the other party's sister.

"Will Second Young Commander Wei also come with you?" Nan Luo thought of Wei Mu Ya who also participated on the battlefield. Previously, she followed Wei Mu Bai a lot to the point some people thought that she would be part of his army.
