Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1602 Jun Family’s Records

Walking around?

Nan Hua looked at Emperor Yang Zhou’s back and then lowered her gaze again. They were not allowed to look in the Emperor’s direction directly because of his position. At the very least, this was how the etiquette was supposed to be, especially for women.

Listening to Emperor Yang Zhou’s instruction, Nan Hua knew that he was telling her that he knew her real identity and the fact that she came here for a reason.

But because she named herself as Jun Hua and not Nan Hua, she had to act in accordance to this identity.

It was troublesome.

But when one chose to act, they had to do it until the end if they wanted the best result.

“I’ll be going first. You follow them to the palace.” Nan Hua glanced at Chu Yue and then walked back. She was still dressed in white robe, so she planned to change her clothes and sneaked into Nan Family Residence.

There were several things there that she needed to find.

“Yes, Miss.”

Chu Yue bowed and turned to look at the servant who was already prepared over there. The servant noticed her gaze and nodded. “Please follow me.”

While the two of them walked away, Nan Si was still at the back, blending with the soldiers. They were all also told to go back to their respective home until there was a notice for them to depart to the frontline again.

For this order, everyone was satisfied.

They had longed to go home again.

…

<Long distance away, Nan Family Residence Backyard>

Nan Hua sneaked into Nan Family Residence Backyard without any difficulties. Looking at the warehouse that was located at the side, her eyes flickered slightly.

When Old Master Nan confronted those families, he also kept some of the ‘loots’ back in this specific warehouse. It was tossed because there were not many things that was of use but it was also not thrown away.

Because when they realized the use in the future, they would be able to use these things.

Old Master Nan was not that keen on using these things, but he knew very well that there might be treasures there. He was just too lazy to organize them, so let them all piled up in Nan Family Residence’s warehouse.

‘It should be… over here.’

Nan Hua looked at the stack of bamboo scrolls and began to unfurl them one by one. There were many of them, so she could only check them slowly. There was no one who could know the content of the records from Jun Family clearer than her.

Before long, she had collected several of them.

They were all looked like gibberish, writing some sentences that didn’t have connection with one another. But when the first word of every sentences were gathered, they would form a sentence that could be understood.

Back then, the sentence she got was:

<The power will appear when the flower bloom…>

This time, there were several more paragraph that explained the history of Jun Family and the power that was passed down from generation to generation. Only women would be able to inherit this ability, but this ability was somewhat strange.

Not every generation would have it.

And those who could have this ability had to have the name that was related to flower. For no other reason that the fact that those who kept on using this ability would not live long.

A flower would bloom for a short period of time.

And then withered.

If those who inherited this power dared to misuse it, they would never be able to last long. Their blooming period would depend on how long they use this ability that was bestowed to them.

“An ability that’s inherited because of a practice to see the future through ritual.”

This ability started from the ancestors of Jun Family who tried to perform ritual in order to be able to see the future. There were many disasters of flood back then, causing a lot of loss.

In order to solve it, they tried to use the method of trying several rituals.

By chance, they managed to find one.

And this ability was then inherited by their descendant. But it would not appear all the time and only occasionally every few generations.

<During the time of chaos, one who could inherit the ability will appear and help to change the tide. But the Heaven is fair, it will never allow the inheritor to see their own future. Be it in the shadow or under the light, there will be role to play and price to pay.>

There was a price they had to pay.

<The power to see the future is an act against the Heaven. It’s intolerable and those who dared to use it will slowly lose themselves, forgot who they were and descend into madness.>

Looking at the scroll in Nan Hua’s hand, she read every sentence carefully.

<Forgot who they were>

At this moment, Nan Hua had the faint feeling that she understood how that book could appear in the first place.

Even if she couldn’t understand how her past life connected to the lives here, she knew some things.

Such as…

There was no character named Nan Hua.

There was no one who was being possessed nor body being exchanged or something like that.

Nan Hua in this world and Nan Hua from her previous world were all the same person.

Perhaps, it was the same as the other so called transmigrators who came to this world. They were not possessing other people’s body, but they simply recovered their memory from their previous lives.

For some reason.

Reason that Nan Hua didn’t know the answer as of now.

<That book is the manifestation of her ability and the reason why it was not in her perspective was because she couldn’t see her own future. She had to see it through other people’s point of view. And the one she picked… was Long Qian Xing>

<The reason why she couldn’t remember the past while other transmigrator could was because… the price she had to pay is her memory>
