Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Brother Ao Si, can you chase her?" Nan Luo turned to look at Feng Ao Si.

(A/N: in Chinese, her and him sounded the same and only different in their writing. In fact, the one used for male can be used for female too because the word 'ta' that's normally used is genderless.)

"You want me to run that fast?" Feng Ao Si was even more speechless. Since when did he had the capability to run as fast as Nan Hua? If he could run that fast, he was sure that he would have already used to run from his father's punishment.

Nan Luo was dumbfounded.

"Right…"

"Don't worry. Nan will be fine." Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. He also wanted to head over and look at their grandfather's condition, but he could see that the soldiers were already putting their grandfather on top of a horse and tried to bring him away from the other soldiers from Wei Da Kingdom.

Nan Hua was trained as an assassin normally and could easily slip through the soldiers. But the other three couldn't do the same as her. Even if they could slip through, their speed was not as fast as her.

Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows. "Form a defensive line and push the enemy back!"

"Uoooo!"

The soldiers began to move and under Nan Luo's lead, they formed the defensive line, pushing the enemy out of their headquarter. It was no longer night, so they could see their enemies better. The battle also ended faster.

But the feeling of having to step on bodies just to walk… was not pleasant.

Nan Luo really didn't like it.

Swish! Clang!

Nan Hua soon arrived at Old Master Nan's location. In fact, her grandfather was not that far from her because they were all close to the frontline thanks to the breach last night. She furrowed her eyebrows when she saw the soldiers were intending to get close.

Did they think that she would let them off so easily?

Swish! Jleb! Jleb!

Countless needles flung from her sleeves, hitting those soldiers who were approaching the horse where her grandfather was located. She could see Hou Liang was busy ordering the soldiers to make way. From his worried expression, Nan Hua knew that her grandfather's condition was not good.

This caused her to rush forward even more. She dug into her sleeve and took out the set of flying knives that she had prepared before. It was originally for her to use as Master Jiu because she wanted to visit the Dark Moon Organization once the battle was over.

But it seemed that she should just use it now.

Jleb! Jleb! Jleb!

One by one, the knives hit their target. The soldiers were all dying one by one and Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers were all stunned to see their enemies suddenly fell down. Some of them strike them once more to make sure that they were completely dead while the others changed their target.

With Nan Hua eliminating them and then swiftly followed the horse, the soldiers from Wei Da Kingdom was unable to follow.

As Nan Hua grew closer to the horse, she finally noticed that there was a sword embedded on her grandfather's thigh. For some reason, he took the blow and killed River General Pan in that previous battle.

Did he take a sacrifice in order to be able to end the battle?

Nan Hua furrowed her eyebrows.

While it was stated that Old Master Nan would not participate in any other fight after this Joint War, it was originally because of his poor result. But if her grandfather was wounded like this, it was more likely that the reason for his retirement would be his injury.

"Make way!" Hou Liang shouted and carried Old Master Nan down the horse when they reached the tent.

"I'm fine, Lil Liang." Old Master Nan laughed lightly and patted Hou Liang. His old body was tired after fighting for an entire night, but he was still in the mood to joke around with his subordinate.

Hou Liang furrowed his eyebrows. "Master, please don't say anything. You have to be treated immediately."

"At most, they'll amputate my leg," Old Master Nan mocked himself.

"There's no need to amputate your leg, G… Master." Nan Hua rushed forward. The soldiers around Old Master Nan couldn't even react as she rushed in. And with Old Master Nan waving his hand to let her pass, the soldiers didn't try to stop her.

They were all soldiers and soldiers were trained to follow the order of their superior no matter what.

Old Master Nan looked at Nan Hua. He chuckled. "What do you think, Nan?"

"Bear with the pain for a bit." Nan Hua could see the open wound and thought of some emergency surgery she knew. A bottle of medicine appeared on her hand as she instructed Hou Liang to press the wound around Old Master Nan as she pulled the sword out.

Old Master Nan said nothing and watched as Nan Hua speedily pulled the sword out then applied medicine and some others. Her practiced movement didn't look like someone who had only learned medicine for a few years and hadn't had much chance to practice it in the real world.

In fact, it seemed as if she had already practiced for so many years that she was so proficient in it.

Old Master Nan's eyes deepened, but he said nothing.

"It's done."

Nan Hua tied the wound and then looked at her grandfather. She could sense that he was looking in her direction deeply, but he didn't question her anything. "You should still see a doctor later. This is just emergency surgery. Thankfully, the sword didn't cut through your artery."

"I'm a general and naturally my body instinctively avoid the vital point." Old Master Nan laughed heartily.

*cough* *cough*

"Master, please don't get too excited." Hou Liang was helpless when he saw Old Master Nan had a coughing fit.
