Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Have you been well?" Yan Jin Nian finally switched the conversation. 

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "You have heard about the news spread out. I'm doing very well."

Yan Jin Nian looked at Long Qian Xing and sneered.

Only a fool would truly believe what the outside world was saying. She would never truly believe those words without any confirmation whatsoever.

"The situation is calm on the surface but full of turmoil behind." Yan Jin Nian turned her face away and looked at the dense trees. "Being able to get out of their calculation is very good."

"You said that but you know very well that you've never gone out of their calculation. You just run away." Long Qian Xing sneered. "I would rather be in the position of power so that no one would be able to do anything to me."

"I'm too lazy for that." Yan Jin Nian waved her hand.

She was not like Long Qian Xing who was willing to use his brain to calculate what move would benefit him the most all the time. For her, it was good if others didn't come to provoke her.

Those who dared to destroy her peace just had to be ready for her retaliation.

She wanted to stay idle, but it didn't mean that she had no power at all.

"I wish you have good life here." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "Also, I heard the news of your friend surnamed Gu on the south. After I settled the problems at the north, I'll pay him a visit."

Yan Jin Nian's face changed slightly. She glared at Long Qian Xing. "You should just focus on your problems and not meddle in my life. Who knows whether you can defeat that Strategist Song or end up being another corpse under his hand."

"You underestimate me." Long Qian Xing sneered and waved his hand, walking into a distance away. "Take care of yourself. You might be dragged into the whirlpool if you're not careful."

At this time, Yan Jian Nian had rekindled another fire to beat up Long Qian Xing as much as possible. Unfortunately, her weak body wouldn't be able to support this. 

Not to mention, Long Qian Xing was also a very good martial artist.

Ah, she felt annoyed.

…

<not long distance away, Nan Hua's side>

While Long Qian Xing was meeting with Yan Jin Nian, Nan Hua was waiting not long distance away from their location. She had already finished talking with Yan Jin Nian and arranged her people.

There was nothing else she needed to do in this place.

Not long afterwards, Long Qian Xing came and smiled at Nan Hua. "Let's go. It's time to fetch Fang Sheng Lin."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

She thought of Long Qian Xing's friends who was big and full of muscles but couldn't really think too much about his action and nodded.

This friend of Long Qian Xing was quite peculiar and it was their turn to take care of him for the time being.

At the very least, he should be useful for the battle.

"Let's go."

…

The days passed by swiftly.

They soon arrived at the designated city where Fang Sheng Lin had been recuperating. He felt that he was completely healthy but Nan Hua said that his body was lacking in Qi and blood, so Long Qian Xing arranged for his men to drag him here.

No matter what, they had to make sure that Fang Sheng Lin was under control.

Considering Fang Sheng Lin's strength, he had to be bound by chain before they all calmed down.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

"General Xing!" the subordinate almost wanted to cry when they saw Long Qian Xing arrived. The past few months was not easy.

Fang Sheng Lin was a very active person. He couldn't stay idle and even with the chain holding his legs and all, he still went to the field and had some practice. In the end, he also dragged the other guards to spar with him.

The feeling…

Was not very good.

Long Qian Xing looked at the front where Fang Sheng Lin was busy practicing and nodded his head. It seemed that Fang Sheng Lin was doing quite well during the recuperation. He had grown a bit more taller and bigger again.

Beside Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua also blinked her eyes.

She didn't think that Fang Sheng Lin could still grow taller again when he was already at that age….

But he did look much healthier than before.

Bang!

The tree beside Fang Sheng Lin fell down after being kicked and punched repeatedly by Fang Sheng Lin.

"That should be another good way to cut down the trees," Long Qian Xing commented.

"Nonsense, what kind of martial arts practiced to cut down trees?" Fang Sheng Lin retorted and then paused. He felt that the voice sounded familiar and turned his head around only to see his old friend.

He showed a foolish grin. "Long Qian Xing?"

"I'm here." Long Qian Xing rolled his eyes. "How do you feel during this time?"

"Very good. I feel that I can eat an entire cow and smash an entire army by myself." Fang Sheng Lin grinned. 

He always felt that he was very healthy but it was only after this period of recuperation that he realized his power could grow to another height. This caused him to be very excited and thus had to vent his excitement in practice.

The poor tree was just another one of the victim from his excitement.

Long Qian Xing looked at the tree and nodded. "I'm going to the north to face Strategist Song. You'll be there to help me."

Strategist Song?

Fang Sheng Lin's move paused. He looked at Long Qian Xing with an incredulous expression. This surname was very familiar for him too.

"Is it the person who I am thinking…?"

"It should be."

Fang Sheng Lin suddenly felt that he should just stay beside Prime Minister Lei and not go outside.
