Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua didn’t stay behind to hear what her grandfather was saying to her twin brother. She felt that it wouldn’t be good for her to listen in.

Anyway, she will respect their privacy.

Walking towards her oldest cousin’s temporary quarter, she saw that Dai was trying his best to pull Feng Ao Si inside. With their difference in built, it would be a miracle if Dai were to succeed.

“Adjutant Nan,” Dai quickly greeted Nan Hua in accordance to etiquette.

Nan Hua nodded. She glanced to the side and saw Feng Ao Si sprawled on the ground, looking terribly drunk. She wondered how low his alcohol tolerance was for him to end up this way.

“Leave this to me.”

“Yes.”

Dai cupped his fist and then walked out decisively. In his opinion, the person with the highest rank among the younger generations in the Nan and Feng Family was this young adjutant. He had already seen how Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai listened to Adjutant Nan more than once.

Even though he was not entirely clear about these youngsters’ relationship, he could still see how special this Adjutant Nan was.

Nan Hua crouched beside Feng Ao Si and used her real voice to speak, “Brother Si, you should take rest inside.”

“Hua’er?” Feng Ao Si jolted up to sit upright. He could still remember the painful lessons from Nan Hua when the two of them were younger. At that time, he was beaten up to the point where he didn’t even have the chance to fight back.

It was terrible.

“Mhm.” Nan Hua hummed lightly. “Sleeping on the ground will make you sick, so go inside.”

“Y, yes!” Feng Ao Si stood up and rushed inside.

Even though he was somewhat drunk, his subconscious reaction was to follow Nan Hua’s words. In his memory, if he didn’t follow Nan Hua’s words well, she will end up beating him up until he was unrecognizable even by his mother.

That was something he didn’t want to repeat.

Nan Hua watched Feng Ao Si disappeared into the building and then averted her eyes. Her cousins were both very unique and this Feng Ao Si was somewhat cute.

…

The next day.

Nan Hua departed early and slipped away. She didn’t want to tangle with her twin brother, cousin, and grandfather, so she chose to leave when they were still sleeping. Though, she knew that they will know soon enough from the guards.

Walking to the empty street, Nan Hua felt calm.

Silence and emptiness had long become part of her life.

When she reached the gate, Nan Hua noticed that the sleepy guards glanced in her direction and straighten their posture. In front of the famous Adjutant of Nan Family, there was basically no one who would dare to be negligent.

She showed her token. “I’m going out of Yi City.”

“Yes, the gate is open for you, Adjutant Nan.”

Nan Hua nodded and walked out. Looking at the row of soldiers who were ready to depart there, Nan Hua was silent. She turned to look at the side and saw Long Qian Xing standing leisurely while leaning on a tree.

It was not even dawn, yet he was already preparing his soldiers to depart.

“Are you going to go too, Adjutant Nan?” Long Qian Xing asked with a faint smile.

Nan Hua was silent.

She remembered that she reported she was going to Da Yi City not long ago and he did say that he could go there too. However, how did he know that she was planning on sneaking out?

But now that they were already here, it wouldn’t be good for her to just leave him. Anyway, the journey to Da Yi City would take a few days even if she were to use shortcuts. Since she was not in a hurry, Nan Hua had already asked Fei Mao to prepare a horse for her to use.

“Yes.”

“If I’m not wrong, your destination is also Da Yi City, right? Shall we go together?” Long Qian Xing asked warmly.

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing deeply before nodding her head. She walked to the side where Fei Mao was already dressed as an ordinary servant and tugged the horse he was brought with an innocent face.

Fei Mao himself was stunned when he found out that there were a lot of soldiers here. But since the other party was Nan Hua’s former fiancée, he thought that it was Nan Hua’s plan to leave together.

Anyway, this time, Nan Hua didn’t ask him to be so covert.

She didn’t have any plan to hide the departure of Adjutant Nan from Yi City. The fact that Adjutant Nan often went without Nan Luo was not a secret. She was missing so many times that there was no way that they would not know.

“Let’s go!” Long Qian Xing saw Nan Hua climbed on the horse expertly before giving his order.

“Onward!” the other commanders also raised their hand, signaling for everyone to begin walking as their journey towards Da Yi City would begin.

Nan Hua rode on her horse and nodded at Fei Mao, telling him that he could go back and change his identity again. After all, both Fei Mao and Nan Si would follow her through various methods.

They were trained enough to know what they should do.

Long Qian Xing smiled at Nan Hua. “The journey will take a few days. Have you prepared enough, Adjutant Nan?”

“Yes, I have everything I need here.” Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing before lowering her eyes once more.

Looking at the bag on Nan Hua’s horse, Long Qian Xing averted his eyes. He had noticed the man who was preparing the horse when he came out and also saw the big bag that was prepared.

At that time, he guessed that someone was going out and it might be his little girl. Who would have thought that it was true?𝑶𝓋𝑙xt.𝕔𝒪𝗆
