Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

The two of them talked about a few more things over their dinner before Nan Luo went back. After that annoying report, he still had a few more things to settle before resting for the night and this time, Xiao Yan will be the one to help him and not Nan Hua.

Nan Hua walked out of the restaurant and walked into the tea shop nearby. She walked to the counter and the person there looked at her before handing out a bamboo strip. Taking the bamboo strip, Nan Hua glanced at it and then walked away.

This tea shop belonged to Dark Moon Organization.

And if there was any message directed to her, the manager would hand it over when she paid a visit.

Slowly, Nan Hua walked towards the palace.

Her appearance alone had allowed her to enter the palace freely. Instead of heading to the main hall like the other commanders, Nan Hua walked to the ancestral room and walked inside. This place had been checked before and there was really nothing of value inside, so there was no guard around.

And the reason why Nan Hua came here was not for official business but rather because there was a private matter that she wanted to do.

Most people wouldn’t pay attention to this place.

However, Nan Hua was still erasing her presence like she had always been.

It’s better to be cautious than sorry.

The ancestral room was filled with memorial stones and also table to give offerings. At this moment, there was a man who stood while looking at the memorial stones in front of him. From Nan Hua’s position, she could only see his side profile, but she could recognize him easily no matter where.

“Fifth Senior Brother Yu.”

The man, Yu Zheng Xi glanced towards Nan Hua. He had cleaned up his usual unruly appearance and even combed his hair, providing a gentlemanly and clean look. He looked very different from before, which would make it hard for them to recognize him. At this moment, if other people were to see Yu Zheng Xi’s appearance, they would be surprised by how much he looked like Wei Da Kingdom’s Emperor.

The resemblance was not only from the countenance but also the faint authoritative aura around him, which couldn’t be covered completely.

“You’re here.” Yu Zheng Xi nodded at Nan Hua. He looked at her appearance and smiled faintly. “You don’t look surprised. How long have you known?”

Nan Hua looked at Yu Zheng Xi and blinked her eyes. “A long time ago.”

“I see.”

Yu Zheng Xi would usually cover his face and hid in the darkness because of this face of his. The face that he himself hated so much.

But he couldn’t change his face.

He had to live with it.

Yu Zheng Xi is from Wei Da Kingdom.

It was a fact that many people, including other disciples, had known. However, only a few of them knew his real identity in Wei Da Kingdom.

Nan Hua knew because she had done some investigation on her own and found out about it. However, she would never mention this matter in front of her senior brother until he himself was ready to tell her about this.

It was the basic respect that she could give to her senior brother.

And the other three people who knew his real identities were Qi Kan Tian, Qi Xue, and Shan Yu. The rest never knew about his real identity as they had never spent that much time with him.

They also didn’t care that much because they didn’t have business with him.

The usual Yu Zheng Xi was very low key. He was said to be the disciple of Traveling Doctor Liu, but he usually acted more like his bodyguard. Because he kept on staying in the dark, the other disciples didn’t usually interact a lot with him.

Coupled with the noisy Shan Yu, they would talk more with the other party.

But in truth, Yu Zheng Xi had one of the highest background among Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciple with the exception of his seventh and eight disciples, Qi Kan Tian.

Yu Zheng Xi is a royalty.

To be exact, he’s Wei Da Kingdom’s Emperor’s younger brother who was born from different mother.

“Have you ever wondered why I escape?” Yu Zheng Xi asked, his tone was light.

At this moment, Nan Hua could feel that the depressive and tense atmosphere around Yu Zheng Xi had slowly dispersed. He looked more at ease and seemed to calm down a lot as compared to when he put up his guard at any given time.

In the past, Yu Zheng Xi would not allow anyone to get closer to him. Even if he knew that some people had no ill intention towards him, he would still put up his guard because he knew what could happen to him if he trusted him.

Many people would be happy to be part of the royalty, but not Yu Zheng Xi.

Wei Da Kingdoms have a lot of princes and princesses, all living in the grand palace and schemed against each other. Bloodsheds were common as even siblings would point their weapon towards each other.

There was no laugh.

The only laugh that one could see is only derision coming from others towards them.

In that brutal place, the only way for them to survive was to become the Emperor and win the throne. However, Yu Zheng Xi failed miserably in the past and it was his older brother who eventually became the emperor.

Yu Zheng Xi was not exactly raised as a prince to inherit the throne.

Rather, he was the sword that his father used to eliminate other princes whom he deemed to be unqualified.

His mother is a palace doctor.

A rare female doctor.

Because of a mistake, she ended up having him.

The Emperor never married her formally, so Yu Zheng Xi could only be called as an illegitimate child. He was never qualified to compete for the throne even though he did try at one point in his life.𝑶𝗏𝗅xt.𝗰𝑶𝑀
