Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"So beautiful…" Long Ai Ning was silently peeking at Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing from the top of a stone. Of course, it had to be at considerable distance or she would be reprimanded by her older brother again.

Beside her, Nan Si was looking at the young woman beside him helplessly. She couldn't climb up, so she found him and asked for his help. As for why she didn't ask her brother…

It was because he will definitely spank and reprimand her if she dared to ask.

"Long Ai Ning, are you done?" Nan Si asked.

Long Ai Ning was here with the cooking team. After all, there were a lot of soldiers who needed to eat and Long Qian Xing's food was prepared to be a bit more than others. Plus, it had to be checked for poison.

Too many people wanted Long Qian Xing's life.

There was no harm in being careful.

Long Ai Ning's task was to take care of Long Qian Xing's and Nan Hua's meal during their time on the frontline.

Of course, this young woman also took it upon herself to peek on their relationship and squeal like a little girl from time to time. This action of hers often made Nan Si perplexed.

"You don't understand." Long Ai Ning pouted. "They're really suitable with each other and I'm very happy to be able to watch their relationship progress~."

Nan Si was silent.

He had been beside Nan Hua for a very long time and naturally see her progress in relationship with Long Qian Xing very clearly. But he has never been interested in Nan Hua's relationship.

For him, she's his master whom he only need to obey her words. For other matters, it didn't seem to be important.

Who Nan Hua wanted to be with, it was not his business in the slightest bit.

"Be careful of falling," Nan Si reminded.

"I will~." Long Ai Ning sighed deeply when she saw that both Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing was gone in the strange maze like rocks. She still wanted to appreciate the beauty for a while longer, but there was simply no chance to do it.

What a shame.

"Say, have you thought of getting married, Nan Si?"

"Getting married?" Nan Si tilted his head and then shook his head. "No."

He had long decided to dedicate his life to serve the master who's stronger than him. So far he hadn't seen someone who was truly stronger than Nan Hua. Even if her physical strength was not the best, but her tactics and methods were simply the best that Nan Si had ever seen in his entire life.

In his opinion, he will follow Nan Hua until the end of his life.

"Why?" Long Ai Ning was confused. "Even Master said that my brother can get married if he wanted to and have a family on his own."

This was something that Long Qian Xing said to Long Xu a long time ago. Long Qian Xing had no interest in stopping his subordinate from having their own lives, separated from him. After all, he didn't think that they will stay beside him for their entire lives.

While some of them might do that, but if they ever want to have their own happiness, he will allow it.

For Long Qian Xing, they were his subordinate and not slaves.

That was why he arranged it this way.

Many other servants in this era were treated as slaves because their contract with their master was indeed a slave contract. Selling people were common and it was not something that can be changed so easily. Long Qian Xing also knew that even if it was Emperor Yang Zhou, if he were to change this matter, a lot of people would rebel. His position as the Emperor would have been shaky and they might want to push his very young children to be the Emperor instead. These contract was signed for the poor in order to be able to sustain their lives.

For some of them, these contracts were the best.

But for some others, they were forced for it.

There were some rules that had been implemented not to allow the forced contract, but it was going slowly.

Changing history has never been easy.

"Master never disallow it," Nan Si quickly explained. He didn't want others to misunderstand Nan Hua. Just like Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua didn't think of restricting the lives of her subordinates. "I just didn't think of leaving Master."

"Is that so?" Long Ai Ning tilted her head and then looked at the direction where Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua left. "They're good people."

Good people?

Nan Si's eyes flickered.

Perhaps, in the eyes of Long Ai Ning, the two masters who treated their subordinate well were good people. But in the eyes of their enemies, these two people could only be anything but good people. How Nan Hua treated her enemies and made them wished they have never been born was imprinted in his mind.

But he didn't think it was excessive.

Because if they didn't treat their enemies like that, they would be the one who suffered.

In this chaotic era, the only way for them to survive was only if they treated their opponents harshly and never gave them any chance to rise again.

"Long Ai Ning, Nan Si, what are you two doing there?"

The two of them head voice calling and turned their head. They saw Chu Yue and Lou were standing below the rocks.

"We're watching the scenery," Long Ai Ning spout nonsense immediately.

Lou already knew Long Ai Ning's virtue after knowing her for some time. He waved his hand. "If you don't get down, I'll tell your older brother that you're watching Master again."

Long Ai Ning's face changed. "Lou! I already said that I'm only interested in watching their relationship's progress!"

"What Master wants to do is not something we can watch and comment." Lou's expression never changed.
