Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Hearing his grandfather's words, Feng Ao Si heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad that his grandfather didn't force this matter. Though, he knew that it would be impossible for him to run away from this matter forever.

"Are we going to the Capital City, Grandfather?" Feng Ao Kuai changed the conversation.

"Not directly. You all will head to Wind City and help with the repair and also some other things there. Not to mention, there's going to be a new commander in charge." Old Master Nan sighed when he thought about this matter.

Feng Family's status definitely had fallen in Wind City.

While General Feng and his direct family members were still respected, the same couldn't be said to the other family members. It was even more so for Commander Feng's family, who practically abandoned them when the enemies coming.

But the two siblings who were still alive were no longer in Wind City either.

The citizen would have no place to vent even if they wanted to.

"How about Mother?" Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows.

"She's fine."

"Where…"

"I heard report that she's staying in Heng Xing City. After you have settled the problem in Wind City, you can head to Heng Xing City first before going back to the Capital City. The celebration ceremony wouldn't happen anytime soon before everything is settled." Old Master Nan smiled.

"Will other generals come?" Feng Ao Si's eyes lit up.

"Not everyone."

Old Master Nan knew that some of them would give the excuse that the border was not safe so that they didn't have to come. After all, the celebration ceremony was nothing more than a formality and also a method to celebrate their victory. It was not exactly that important for them to attend if they really can't.

Though, Old Master Nan knew that he would have to come because he would be staying in the Capital City to recuperate again.

Come to think about it, could he ask Nan Hua to stay with him again? That would have been for the best since letting her stay in that poisonous resident wouldn't do Nan Hua any good.

"Nan, are you going to stay with me?"

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and thought for a moment. "Wait a bit more. The reasons are insufficient."

Reasons are insufficient?

Nan Luo's lips twitched. For some reasons, he had the feeling that Nan Hua wanted to create a disaster in the Nan Family before leaving that resident. It was as if all the trouble she had created ever since she took the resting period in that household was not enough.

Not that Nan Hua had actually done anything outrageous so far, though.

After all, Nan Hua was patiently waiting and watching everything that happened back then.

"Since that's settled, you better not take that long."

"It's better not to move for now." Nan Hua's eyes landed on Old Master Nan's leg. She really didn't want him to worsen his situation.

Old Master Nan noticed Nan Hua's gaze and sighed. "In that case, I'll stay in Heng Xing City for the time being. When I'm a bit better, I'll head to the Capital City. Will that do?"

Nan Hua nodded.

They then talked a bit more about other things. Feng Ao Kuai was also curious about the other kingdom's situation, but Old Master Nan didn't have detailed information of their military strength right now.

All that they could do was to make sure that they would be able to stay firm for the time being and not let anyone attacked them heavily again.

They wouldn't be able to withstand it!

After they had allowed Old Master Nan to rest, Nan Hua followed Nan Luo to the resting areas for commanders. The location was not bad and there was more than enough accommodation for the commanders.

The ordinary soldiers would have to use tents, though.

"Young Commander Nan, First Young Commander Feng, Second Young Commander Feng," a voice greeted them.

Nan Luo turned his head and felt dark lines appeared on his forehead. The person who appeared was none other than Long Qian Xing, the very person whom he didn't want to meet the most. Though, he did hear that Long Qian Xing performed exceptionally well in this battle.

"Young Commander Long." The three of them greeted him.

Nan Hua silently peeked at Long Qian Xing. Looking at his now healed wounds, it looked like he had better healing ability compared to normal people. This might be attributed to the fact that he was wounded quite often.

Long Qian Xing nodded. "I heard commotion not long ago. I really didn't expect that you'll be able to wound River General Kui, Young Commander Nan."

"It's not me but my adjutant." Nan Luo grunted. He looked at Long Qian Xing warily. "You're not here to ask for a spar, right?"

"My wounds are not healed yet." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Luo helplessly. "There's no way that I can possibly fight in this condition. Besides, there are a lot of matters that we need to do to clean up."

There were a lot of causalities. Just to inform their family members alone was already a very difficult task.

Even though they won, it was not a victory without sacrifice.

"I see."

"I'm just a bit curious since your adjutant rarely stay by your side." Long Qian Xing's eyes landed on Nan Hua. He could see that the young kid was lowering 'his' head. He smiled faintly. "I would like to have another spar in the future should you permit it, Young Commander Nan."

Nan Luo's mouth gaped open.

Another spar?

Did it mean that Long Qian Xing had already sparred against Nan Hua when she was dressed as Nan before?

However, he definitely couldn't ask Nan Hua about this right now. He looked at his twin sister before turning his gaze away. "That will depend on how it'll be in the future."

He couldn't decide for his twin sister.

If she wanted to fight him, he could only relent and allowed her to fight no matter how unwilling he was.

Long Qian Xing nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your time, Young Commander Nan."
