Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Wa wa wa."

*Gubrak*

Shan Yu looked at Kuang Shen and shook his head. "Do you really need to act so surprised? It's just your junior sister."

On the other hand, Kuang Shen glared at his senior brother. Why didn't he try having someone suddenly speak behind him? If he was not surprised, Kuang Shen would give him a round of applause.

"Hey, aren't you forgetting someone?" Traveling Doctor Liu chided from the back.

Nan Hua turned her head and cupped her fist respectfully. "Master."

"Don't be so formal!"

"Junior Sister Hua, you're going to scare Master if you act this way," Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"I'm not scared!" Traveling Doctor Liu was vexed. Why are his disciples always loved to create trouble for him rather than the other way around?

He wanted to be the one to create trouble for them!

Shan Yu looked at his Master. As if he would believe what his Master was saying.

"Are you going?" Kuang Shen asked while rubbing his head that knock on the hard ground. He sat up and looked at his junior sister, partially wondering why he didn't see her before in the camp at all.

"Yeah, I'll be going for a night." Nan Hua looked at her Master. "I'll go back before dawn."

Traveling Doctor Liu was amused when he saw how awkward Nan Hua looked like. It seemed as if she was trying to make sure that they were not worried, but she didn't know how to relay her messages better.

He reached out his hand and patted the little girl's head. "It seems that Xia Mountain held irresistible charm for you. Go and make sure that you return before it's morning or everyone will worry."

"Mhm."

Nan Hua didn't want to make everyone coming to search for her again like before. She didn't know why, but it was uncomfortable to make everyone looking after her like that. Even though there was a feeling of warmth, but she didn't want to see them tired because of her.

It was a strange thought for her, but she chose to follow what she wanted to do.

This is the life that she had miraculously gotten after her accidental death in her original world. She wanted to treasure everything because she never had the luxury of making this kind of choices before.

After all, she was nothing more than a tool before.

A tool used to win the war.

"If you encounter bad boys, you can use this." Chen Yuan took out a pouch and handed it to Nan Hua.

"What's that?" Kuang Shen was curious.

Shan Yu's lips twitched when he saw that pouch. The bad memory of his junior sister using it against him because of a mistake resurfaced. He couldn't blame her because she was blind, but he suffered a lot because of her.

"That's…"

"Hmm?"

"It's something that can make you feel pain." Shan Yu chose to leave it at that.

Kuang Shen looked at his senior brother in confusion but didn't choose to pry any deeper. He turned around and realized that Nan Hua had disappeared.

"Are you worried for her?" Traveling Doctor Liu asked in an amused tone.

"I'm not!"

"You're looking in her direction from time to time," Shan Yu added.

Kuang Shen was speechless. "I'm only trying to find out where she is."

Chen Yuan was more sensitive to a person's emotion because of her blindness, so she could sense that Kuang Shen was indeed feeling troubled. She raised her hand then used her flute to poke Shan Yu. "Show him the investigation about Nan Family."

"What?"

"Show him."

Shan Yu was speechless. Why did it seem that his junior sister was the one ordering him rather than the other way around? However, he still took out the book that he carried with him all the time.

Kuang Shen looked at the bamboo scroll with furrowed eyebrows. "What is this?"

"Nan Family investigation." Shan Yu rubbed his nose. "I think that because you seem to hate Nan Family so much, you should know more about that family first. Besides, there are a lot of people who are also enemies with them."

While feeling skeptical, Kuang Shen took the bamboo scroll. If he had to say, he was planning on doing his own investigation when they were in the Capital City. But because they headed to Wind City then here, he hadn't done his investigation properly and only knew very little about Nan Family.

The first was the information regarding their family in overall. It contained the core members of the family and also their description. Upon reaching the information about the twins, Kuang Shen's eyes shook.

"You're lying."

Shan Yu pursed his lips. "All of the information there is the truth. I originally plan to wait for you to do your own investigation and not like this."

"But…"

"It's the truth."

Kuang Shen's eyes shook in disbelief. He looked at the information in his hand, feeling troubled and remorse. However, he really didn't know what he was supposed to do.

"We're going back to the Capital City in the morning." Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Chen Yuan. "I have to buy some previous herbs again."

He heard from the soldiers that there were several merchants who were going to Fei Yang Kingdom Capital City. Since they came from different areas, Traveling Doctor Liu was hoping to get some specialty herbs.

Shan Yu nodded. "That wouldn't be a problem. Are you going with us, Junior Sister Chen?"

Chen Yuan shook her head. Her hand was playing with the flute. "I just received news."

"Yes?"

"That person is still alive."

The temperature turned exceedingly cold. Kuang Shen was stunned but he was too afraid of saying anything in fear that it would be inappropriate. His feelings were currently experiencing upheaval and he told to himself that he would better do his investigation first.

After that, he would decide what he would do.

Traveling Doctor Liu looked at his ninth disciple. "Do you need help eliminating that person?"

"No need." Chen Yuan's lips curled up to form a devilish smile. Even though her eyes were still closed, she looked so enchanting yet deadly. "I'm no longer the same person as years ago. I can deal with him myself."

"Alright. If you ever need any help, don't hesitate to ask."

"I know. I'm leaving Fei Yang Kingdom."

Shan Yu nodded. "Take care, Junior Sister Chen."

"Mhm."
