Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Yes."

The others nodded.

They succeeded, but they were also feeling heavy because they knew that the tricks done by Zhang Xu Kingdom would be quite devastating. It wouldn't be easy for them to deal with Zhang Xu Kingdom when they had seen how ruthless they were.

How they would proceed was still something unknown.

Even now, no one knew.

There will be people who would take over the investigation and many other things in this place. Hopefully, the case will be clear in the future when they come back to this area.

They returned to the village and the villagers were very happy. They repeatedly gave their thanks and Long Qian Xing appeased them, saying that it was their duties. He gave his usual polite smile and talked with the villagers, asking about the things that had happened lately.

With his charming smile and polite disposition, the villagers had no qualm with telling him many things.

The others were waiting at the back.

"He surprisingly fits in well." Nan Luo blinked his eyes. He definitely couldn't be like Long Qian Xing and talked to the people in the villagers so easily like that.

"Young Commander Long is famous to be a good gentleman." Feng Ao Si recalled the rumors and reputation of Long Qian Xing in the army where he served. So far, Long Qian Xing's reputation was exceptionally good.

"Good gentleman?" Nan Luo's expression cracked a bit.

What he recalled in his mind was the time when Long Qian Xing teased them in the past and beat him. After that, he was reminded of the time when Long Qian Xing purposely lured him and Feng Ao Kuai away in order to spend time together with Nan Hua.

Which of these actions could be called gentleman?

It was clearly a wolf in sheep clothing, alright?

Nan Luo complained in his mind, but he didn't dare to utter it out loud. In any case, Long Qian Xing is still his superior in this mission this time.

"Yes." Feng Ao Si nodded. "I'm not sure of their evaluation, though."

"Ok." Nan Luo didn't expect Feng Ao Si to know so much either way. It was already good enough for him to know bits and pieces of some rumors outside.

"It would be good if there are more people who could get along with the villagers to obtain more information."

Feng Ao Si pointed at the side. "Young Commander Sheng is the same."

Sheng Shan Lang was also talking with the villagers. As a former village boy, he easily laughed with the other people there and talked about the few things that also interest them.

It was very easy for him to blend in.

His background and knowledge was similar to these people, making it effortless for him to blend in and made them feel close to him. The villagers were also happy with Sheng Shan Lang because he knew many things that was related to them.

They were happy.

Sheng Shan Lang also happily asked many things to obtain the necessary information that he needed.

"Right." Nan Luo laughed bitterly. He also wanted to try fitting in, but then he was at loss about how he should interact with the villagers.

Laughing foolishly and chatted about some common things of life?

Sorry, his life experience was completely different from these villagers. He was more worried whether he would stimulate them if he were to talk about his experiences in life.

Many of the villagers were already quite old. It wouldn't be easy for Nan Luo to have common topics with them.

Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo and shook her head. With Nan Luo's education as a young master, it would be weirder if he could fit in so seamlessly with the villagers so quickly. He would need a much longer time, the time they didn't have.

Both Long Qian Xing and Sheng Shan Lang were trying to figure out the women in the villagers and also the bandits appearance and interval. Using interrogation method is possible, but it would make their relationship strained with each other.

So, they instead chatted with them.

Nan Hua herself could also blend in and acted to match them, but she felt that she should just leave this stage to Long Qian Xing. She could see that he was happy to be able to return the women to the village and talked with these villagers.

He had a natural charm that made people look up to him.

And now, it was precisely the same charm that made him be at the center of attention.

Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua watching Long Qian Xing and somehow felt a bit annoyed. He really wanted to pull Nan Hua so that she would stop looking at that man, but in the end he stopped.

He couldn't stay with his twin sister forever.

Even though he couldn't say that he was satisfied with Long Qian Xing, he knew that the two of them were attracted to each other.

He definitely couldn't meddle so much.

But of course, if Long Qian Xing dared to be too much, he would be the first one to step in and kick that man away.

…

After the short conversation with the villagers, Long Qian Xing and Sheng Shan Lang departed once more. There was only limited information that the villagers could give, but the information was enough to tell them some pieces of information.

This would all be handed over to the next person who would come forward to take care of the matter in this border. They all had no time to be personally involved, so they could only do their best to help when they still had time and could do it.

It was still evening and there was enough time for them to walk for at least an incense stick of time before they need to set up their camp.

On their way, Sheng Shan Lang shared what he got from the villagers.
