Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 355 Going to Han Zhong City

She knew.

It was the song that depicted her senior sister's life. Even though the images were not clear and could only be inferred based on the tone, Nan Hua had the picture of what happened to Chen Yuan based from that song.

However, the song hadn't ended yet.

There was someone from the past who could disturb her peace coming once more. Thus, Chen Yuan was determined that she would go and search for him.

She wanted a closure.

Or probably an answer?

Nan Hua was not totally sure. She cupped her fist. "Thank you for playing the song so beautifully for me, Senior Sister Chen."

"It's not only for you." Chen Yuan's eyes had closed once more. There was never any difference whether she opened or closed them as all she could see was darkness. Her hand caressed the bamboo flute slowly.

"Have some rest, you're going to go on a long journey."

"You should rest too, Senior Sister Chen."

Afterwards, Nan Hua bid her farewell and left.

Shan Yu was sitting not far on top of a rock, listening to the song playing. When Nan Hua left, he jumped down and walked towards Chen Yuan. "You're not worried that she might figure out your past through your song?"

"Even if she knew, does it matter?" Chen Yuan answered and walked with her stick. Even if she was now blind, her back remained straight.

"Be careful."

"Are you worried about me?"

"That man is dangerous." Shan Yu was calm. "The fact that he could stay alive and hid himself all these years is enough as the prove for it. Not to mention, can you really put an end to this?"

Chen Yuan chuckled. "I didn't know Senior Brother Shan is actually so caring."

"If I don't have so many troublesome juniors, I would have been able to live peacefully." Shan Yu sneered. His juniors were all at the top ranks of troublemakers. He even wondered whether his Master's requirement for accepting disciple was that they have to be embroiled in problems.

Not to mention, some of them were enemies with each other.

It was what caused the mess in their relationship with each other. Some didn't want to talk to each other. Some even challenged the other party and fought a lot.

"My apologies that I couldn't be there when it's your turn."

Shan Yu nearly choked.

He knew that having a war of words with these silver tongued women were courting death, but he didn't want to see his junior sister walked to her own death without doing anything. Even if it bore nothing, he still didn't want to see her this way.

"When it happened, you're not even born yet." Shan Yu snorted. "There's no need for your help either. I can settle the problem by myself."

"I see." Chen Yuan played with the flute. "I'm going now."

"Alright."

It was not even dawn yet, but for Chen Yuan, whether it was morning or night, it was all the same. Everything was dark no matter which time she chose. Because of that, Chen Yuan didn't care about time when she goes.

Shan Yu sighed then turned to look at the back. "Master, are you going to accept the task?"

"From these people?" When Nan Hua was talking to Chen Yuan, Fei Mao talked with Traveling Doctor Liu. Traveling Doctor Liu was debating whether to go to the Capital City first or stay here.

"Yes."

"Let's pay a visit to the patient first." Traveling Doctor Liu smiled.

Shan Yu nodded. He knew that even though Traveling Doctor Liu was someone who longed to see those precious herbs, he would always prioritized human's life. Because of that he was sure that their next destination would be Xia Mountain.

"Are you going to bring Kuang Shen along?"

"He better stay with Ah Yu. I can't stand seeing him so weak." Traveling Doctor Liu snorted.

Just yesterday, Kuang Shen nearly fainted after the usual session of studying. Thus, Traveling Doctor Liu was determined to make sure that his disciple could grow stronger first.

Shan Yu passed a look at his master and shook his head. His eyes were looking in the direction of Wei Da Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom one by one. When war broke out in the end because of those ambitious people, which kingdom would be able to stand at the top?

At that time, would his seniors and juniors managed to stay alive through the adversity?

He hoped that they would not end up killing each other.

…

With Nan Hua returning before it was dawn, she managed to sleep for around an hour before Nan Luo woke up everyone excitedly.

"We're only going to Han Zhong City, is there any need to be so excited?" Feng Ao Si was speechless when he saw how energetic Nan Luo was.

"It's a new city that didn't belong to us before," Nan Luo retorted.

"What's so exciting about it?"

"Can't you play along?"

Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at his older brother and cousin. "Since Han Zhong City will be our new frontline, there'll be some smaller cities built around it. Big Brother will be in charge of their safety, so it meant more work for him."

At this moment, Feng Ao Si really wanted to sigh to the Heaven. It was fun to punch other people, but it was not fun when his task was to protect the area. He was absolutely sure that he wouldn't be able to last for a long time when it came to protect.

"Oh."

"We won't be able to participate for the next two years." Feng Ao Kuai's next words doused all the excitement that Nan Luo had.

Nan Luo glanced at her cousin with aggrieved expression. "Whyyyy?"

"You're not strong enough."

Nan Luo: "…"

Feng Ao Si laughed. "Just stay behind and let me rake in achievements. By the time you join the military, I'll be at the ranks where you can't even hope to achieve."

Looking at his annoying cousin, Nan Luo took out his sword and smiled. "How about if we have a spar first, Cousin Ao Si?"

"What are you talking about? We have to… hey! Don't attack so suddenly! You're forcing me now!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The other two silently watched from the side expressionlessly. It was already the norm to see these two fought against each other.
