Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

She would not hold herself back from saying whatever she wanted when she was in front of the people who were close with her.

“Tsk, you’re not in the position to criticize me.” Yu Jin rolled her eyes. “Did you create more chaos or something?”

“I intercepted the other small army nearby.” Long Qian Xing shrugged. “You need to make use more of your advantage. General Tou is more familiar with the terrains, so you need to suppress him.”

“If I could, I would have already done that.” Yu Jin rolled her eyes. “That damned old general is very tricky.”

Long Qian Xing shook his head and looked at the distance. “General Tou is approaching the north border. You will go to the valley to meet him and I’m going from the back to catch up with him.”

“Can you do that?”

“Why not?”

Yu Jin arched her eyebrows. The route that General Tou took was a mountainous route and wouldn’t be easy to cross. If they wanted to trap General Tou like that, they had to make sure that the timing was right.

“Don’t worry, I have people who have been watching many areas in the mountain.” Long Qian Xing waved his hand and then controlled the horse to lead his men towards the other area.

Watching Long Qian Xing walking away, Yu Jin snorted and then waved her hand. She thought for a moment. “Let’s go faster. Ye Jian, you’re going to take care of the supplies and then catch up later.”

“Ah?” Ye Jian was stunned.

“Go!”

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Watching Yu Jin going first, Ye Jian nearly vomited blood. She really wanted to curse Yu Jin for leaving her behind, but knowing Yu Jin’s temperament, she could only sigh helplessly.

“Try to catch up. At the very least… make sure we’re not too far behind.”

Ye Jian wanted to cry.

She missed the mountain greatly right now.

If she was to stay in the mountain, she didn’t have to bother with this matter in the slightest bit and only had to take care of the supplies there.

Who in the world provided this idea for her to go to the frontline?

…

Nan Hua finally arrived at the mountain and watched the battle in the distance.

Yu Jin was leading her army, rushing towards General Tou’s soldiers at the fastest speed possible.

The two armies clashed with each other.

‘That smoke… should be Long Qian Xing coming for reinforcement.’

Nan Hua’s eyes flickered as she watched their battle in the distance. As for the detail of their battle? She had no interest to watch it again after participating in the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom not long ago.

She was not a war maniac, alright?

“Miss, the leader in Zhang Xu Kingdom’s area has been informed and people have been dispatched to the villages near Lin Family.” Fei Mao knelt down to give his report.

“Observation time is one day. Tomorrow, steal the disciples’ identity.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Lin Family’s system was quite peculiar among the other families in this world. In fact, when Nan Hua saw their family system, she even wondered whether this was a sect or a family. The one with the highest power was the Fourth Old Master Lin but the nominal leader at the front was the Second Old Master Lin.𝑶𝓥𝑳xt.𝒞𝑶𝗆

These few old men would discuss the future of Lin Family and decided what they were planning to do through the meeting that was held periodically.

Afterwards, the other family members of Lin Family had their own roles in the family too. They were divided into those who could learn the specialization of Lin Family and those who could only know the perimeter and will be married away to increase their influence.

It was impossible for them to marry internally, so there will always be some women or men married into their family depending on the needs.

And once they entered Lin Family, they could never get out.

As for those who were married out, they were technically still under the control of the elders through the parasites or gu or whatever and had to give report to the Lin Family. Without knowing the internal secret, they could never be free on their own.

Everyone in Lin Family could never escape from the gu and parasites since it would be given on the day they were born.

And if they wanted to get out…

Nan Hua looked at the faint fog around the Lin Family’s mountain and shook her head. Without poison resistance, it was basically impossible for them to even get out of the mountain.

Thus, everyone born in Lin Family was doomed to be used by the family.

If they wanted to have more freedom, the only way out was to contribute more and researched the herbs to show their worth.

That way, they would not be forced to be nothing more than someone who was useless.

As long as they were capable, their rank and influence would naturally increase.

The one with the highest status was naturally these researchers. But they didn’t usually participate in the discussion about the family future. After all, they were busy with the research of herbs and so on.

Even if they wanted to take part, they might not understand much.

In any case, the research and development of Lin Family had been very bad lately. There were not many talented people in Lin Family. Those who were talented but wanted to rebel will be killed before they even had a chance to realize their wishes.

As for now, there were only two big researchers.

One of them would make the poison asked by Prime Minister Lei.

He was the one whom Nan Hua planned to kill this time. As long as he didn’t exist, he would never be able to bring out the poison that was going to be used in the war.

The other alternatives were for her to destroy the plants.

But the problem was… she didn’t know what plants used to make the poison.
