Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua nodded and walked to her master obediently.

Traveling Doctor Liu looked at the young girl in front of him and raised his hand to pat her head tenderly. He could definitely tell that she was pushing herself to the limit in order to make sure none of the assassin got close to him.

The feeling of being protected by such a young girl was complicated. He felt apprehension when he scrutinized the young girl's body when she got close to him.

"Master?"

"You don't have to do it next time. I can protect myself." Traveling Doctor Liu sighed.

Nan Hua looked at Traveling Doctor Liu and stayed silent. It was what Traveling Doctor Liu said but he was already old and couldn't really do martial arts. Even if he could, his bodily function had long deteriorated.

He was old and in this era, human's lifespan was not exactly that long due to their health environment.

It was already a miracle for him to be able to last this long.

"Little Lass, are you belittling me?"

"No, Master."

"You little girl."

Nan Hua stayed silent and obediently let Traveling Doctor Liu messed up her hair. The image contrasted the brutal image she had portrayed not long ago. It was as if the monster had turned into a bunny.

For some people, the image was too much.

Kuang Shen was looking with his mouth agape. When he first saw his Master's skill, he was in awe and didn't fluster. But after looking at how Nan Hua effortlessly eliminating the assassins who came at them, he was dumbfounded.

Just comparing their speed and skills alone already told him that if Nan Hua wanted to deal with him because of his snobby attitude to her, she could have done that many times. Yet, when they were training together, she tolerated him.

And after showing her ferocious side… she turned into a little bunny in front of their Master.

Kuang Shen held his heart, feeling that the image was too much.

At the same time, he felt that he was so childish and stupid. Was there anything good for him to keep on antagonizing her? But at the same time, he couldn't forgive Nan Family. They were the one who put her in this predicament and changed his entire life.

So, how could he possibly get along with her?

He was in dilemma.

He was not the only one as Shan Yu was not feeling any better. He felt that the image his junior sister show to him was too much. Thankfully, he didn't watch when Nan Hua was dealing with the assassins or he might not be able to accept his little junior anymore.

"Hua'er is taken advantage by her master." Nan Luo's eyes turned fiery as he looked at his twin sister. He didn't want to let anyone else touch his twin sister, ah!

Feng Ao Kuai's lips twitched. He looked at Nan Luo. "He's just showing his affection to his disciple."

"I still didn't agree to it."

"He didn't need your agreement."

Nan Luo: "…" that seemed to be true.

While Nan Luo was mulling about this, the situation in the forest was a bit heated up. Hou Lin was cleaning up the assassins who were hiding and planned to run away as he had to shut anyone's mouth who had seen Nan Hua's skill. They couldn't hide it forever, but at least, they had to hide it for this period of time.

However, there was a man who stood in front of him, looking very ferocious yet at the same time didn't seem to have any intention to attack him.

"Who are you?"

"I should be the one who asked that." Hou Lin was cold.

The man threw the assassin whom he had just killed to the side. He looked into the road and coincidentally saw Nan Hua looking in his direction. His eyes narrowed. Did that little girl managed to sense him?

Even if she was a great martial artist, there should be a limit to her skill, right?

However, Nan Hua was called by Traveling Doctor Liu, so she didn't continue staring in his direction anymore.

Swish!

The man didn't say anything as he disappeared into the darkness once more. On the other hand, Hou Lin felt a bit at loss. He knew that the man was dangerous but he seemed to be on their no- Traveling Doctor Liu's side?

Hou Lin didn't waste his time pondering about it anymore as he sneaked and hid once more.

"Go back to your carriage." Traveling Doctor Liu beckoned for Nan Hua to leave.

Nan Hua nodded. She looked at her master once more but chose not to say anything. There was really no need for words because the two of them understood what each other wanted to say without any words.

"Hua'er! You should have waited for me." Nan Luo sounded a bit aggrieved.

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. "You're not their match."

Nan Luo: "…" that hurts.

She glanced at the soldiers who didn't dare to turn around and even closed their ears as if they were afraid of being tempted. Nan Hua blinked her eyes then entered the carriage. "Let's go."

"Okay. With this speed, we should be able to reach Wind City by tomorrow." Nan Luo nodded and entered the carriage too.

Feng Ao Kuai's grip on his bow tightened when he heard Nan Luo's words. In any case, he hoped that his mother was fine and that there was no need for him to worry so much. It was all that he hoped.

After the short episode, they continued their way.

"Master, do you want to interrogate them?" Shan Yu dragged the last assassin whom he didn't kill.

Traveling Doctor Liu looked at the man and smiled. "No need. Only that person would be able to send assassins to Fei Yang Kingdom."

"Ok."

Slash! Thud!

Shan Yu didn't keep that assassin anymore. As for the corpses on the road… ehm, there will surely be someone who took care of that. There was no need for him to worry so much.
