Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Reason?

Nan Hua didn't immediately answer and it was Long Qian Xing who continued, "If it was inconvenient to answer, you don't have to say anything."

He knew very well that Nan Hua didn't like to talk, which was why he tried to carefully think about what he wanted to say to her. There were many things he wanted to say but when he finally saw Nan Hua, all words just stuck in his throat.

It was a strange feeling that Long Qian Xing himself didn't understand.

But he knew that he was trying to figure out the reason why Nan Hua seemed to be so determined to go to the battlefield. Without strong reason, there was no way that she would abandon the live in the Capital City to rush to the frontline like that.

"The same reason why you're here, General Xing."

The same reason?

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows and turned his head to look at the young woman beside him.

She was also looking back in his direction. Her clear black obsidian pupil seemed to be very clear without any falseness within. Through that eyes, he could faintly see the determination of this young woman.

Why did he want to go to the frontline?

To protect his family, to fulfill his dream, and many others.

But the most important reason was because he wanted to protect the family he had in this world. If he just stayed behind and watched the chance passed by, he would never be able to forgive himself.

Long Qian Xing chuckled.

What a cunning little girl.

She clearly didn't want to tell the reason why she went to the battlefield and didn't seem to care that much about what other people thought about her.

"Are there no other way?" Long Qian Xing asked slowly.

Other way?

There were many other ways and Nan Hua had thought about them from time to time. But in the end, she felt that it would be better for her to go to the battlefield on her own and participated through her own way.

"This is my decision." No one could force me to do what I don't want to do anymore.

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing.

Long Qian Xing chuckled. "I see. Do you like taking a walk at night? The night breeze is somewhat cool, but it wouldn't be good to stay outside for a long time or you will get sick."

Nan Hua arched her eyebrows. "I will only stay outside at night when it's necessary."

The two of them continued their talk about some other daily matters that seemed to be unrelated to anything. It could be about walking around, even about the trees beside the areas they could see.

As strange as it might be, no matter how much nonsense they were talking about, it seemed that the atmosphere between the two of them always stayed harmonious.

When they returned to the camp, most of the soldiers had already finished eating too.

"It's late, you should rest, General Xing." Nan Hua cupped her fist.

"You too, Adjutant Nan." Long Qian Xing responded by cupping his fist too and watched as Nan Hua turned around and walked to her tent. The location of her tent was not that far from his since he asked his men to let her stay nearby.

Seeing her back, Long Qian Xing really wanted to ask her bluntly about what she was actually thinking. He never dared to truly ask everything so clearly and only breached little by little.

Let her get used to his presence.

Even though the current time would not allow him to stay by her side 24 hours a day, he wanted to brush his presence around her more and more.

Tep!

Chu Yue had already finished making the tent. When Nan Hua returned, she stood up. "Master, the tent is ready."

"You did a good job." Nan Hua nodded.

Chu Yue smiled and nodded. It was her duty to take care of Nan Hua and Chu Yue felt happy whenever Nan Hua praised her. She looked around and felt somewhat apprehensive because Nan Hua was willing to travel with the army.

After all, she was not the type of person who liked to stay in the crowd.

And it was clear that there were a lot of people in this army.

"You can rest for today."

"Yes, Master."

Nan Hua entered the tent and walked to her bed. It was just a simple tent with minimum items inside. Aside from the bed, there was only a box where she could put her clothes and weapon.

Putting her sword away, Nan Hua then sat down on the bed. She removed the silver mask and rubbed her face a bit. It was not easy to wear this thing all day long, so she would remove it when she was sleeping.

Though, it was placed right beside her bed so that she could wear it again when there was someone who break in.

'Even though the areas around here is not that peaceful, but I don't think there will be anyone who dared to attack.'

Nan Hua knew that the route towards Da Yi City should be save. But for other areas, there might be higher chances to encounter some people who were dissatisfied because of Fei Yang Kingdom's action.

Then again, it was impossible to make all parties happy.

There will be some people who were dissatisfied with the result and hoped that things would be different.

…

The next day, the group departed early once more.

Nan Hua would stay near Long Qian Xing at the front. Even though they often said nothing, the atmosphere between the two of them always looked strangely peaceful and calm. Not only that, there was just something odd.

Some other commanders also noticed that but didn't dare to speak it out loud.

Only Chu Yue knew why the two of them were so close. After all, Adjutant Nan is a young woman and also Long Qian Xing's fiancée.

If he didn't get close to her, who should he get close to?
