Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1040: Chen Yuan’s Decision

She returned to the Chen Family for two things.     

One to told the entire elders that they were wrong. Even though she was blind, she could still perform their 'worthless' technique.     

The second one was to see her half brother and torture him in the same way as he did to her. Because of him, she had suffered a lot.     

But then Chen Yuan realized that her life was a joke.     

A cruel joke.     

The truth of the technique and the family's plan for her was exceptionally cruel. The so called inheritance technique was something that Chen Yuan could never imagine before because she didn't fully understand the mystery behind it.     

The whole so called Chen Family leader was nothing more than a joke.     

It was a temptation used to make everyone willingly learnt it from their entire heart and in order to find someone who could finally use it. For so many years, there hasn't been anyone who could perform the technique to the fullest.     

Until Chen Yuan appeared.     

The family wanted to use her in order to build a group of loyal people to Chen Family.     

The family head is a tool.     

Tool for them to use.     

But because she turned blind, they chose to discard her away to remote village where Chen Yuan struggled to live.     

If the plan truly succeeded, she would have become Chen Family's tools for her entire life. Only by making herself 'useless' to them would they let her go.     

That was why being blind was actually the best way for her to leave as it would make Chen Family think she couldn't use the technique anymore.     

Chen Yuan cried when she realized the truth.     

Her half brother wanted to protect her.     

But he couldn't tell that it was protection because no matter which path Chen Yuan's picked, her life would be very difficult.     

She could only become the tool of Chen Family for the rest of her life after being turned into an obedient doll by the technique she herself learned.     

Or she would be abandoned and casted as the worthless person.     

Chen Yuan hated being restrained.     

Chen Ye always knew that, which was why he decided to take the matter into his hand, taking the blame from the two sides. Chen Family blamed him, Chen Yuan also blamed him.     

But he said nothing.     

And Chen Yuan could only say that her half brother was really stupid.     

In order to make sure that she could escape the Chen Family's clutches, he chose the stupidest method possible. If he had told her, she would have been able to figure out a different way to get out.         

"Chen Family is not a simple family, Yuan'er." Traveling Doctor Liu looked at his ninth disciple, the newest disciple he had accepted recently. "If you didn't get away in time, you'll only be forced to perform the technique on yourself. They had countless ways to force you to do that through various incenses they had."     

He had seen their incenses and knew that the hallucination and various other effects were strong. This made him sighed deeply.     

If only the Chen Family were to devote themselves to learn more about medicines, maybe they would have become the respected doctor family in Zhang Xu Kingdom. Instead, they tried to rely on their inheritance technique in order to build an army for their own Chen Family.     

Truly foolish.     

"I know, Master." Chen Yuan looked at the now destroyed Chen Family Residence's direction. No one has been left alive as everyone there were killed with her own hands.     

So many blood has been spilled.     

She didn't even know some of them whom she killed just because they showed a slight malicious intention towards her.     

Her life hadn't been easy.     

But Chen Yuan had begun to accept it.     

She knew that if she tried to fight from inside, the Chen Family had countless methods to make sure that she will never be able to get out alive. Without Traveling Doctor Liu and that little force behind her, she would never be able to get out alive after knowing Chen Family secret this time.     

This might be why Chen Ye never told her the truth.     

As long as she didn't know the truth, Chen Family will let her off as they didn't want to dirty their hands more than necessary.     

"What's your plan, Chen Yuan?"     

"Finding my brother…" Chen Yuan was silent for a moment. She had no other purpose in life right now and felt rather empty. Raising her head but could only be greeted by the darkness, the corner of her lips curled up to form a bitter smile, "And live my own life."     

Traveling Doctor Liu said nothing and nodded.     

Behind them, Shan Yu was watching and sighed deeply. He truly felt that his master would never be able to get away from troubles.     

…     

"Chen Family inheritance technique is not a method to make you destroy your nerve and make you unable to see your limit. That's the side effect from not being able to perform the technique." Chen Yuan showed a mockery smile on her face.     

"It's a technique to induce 'loyalty' in which the needles and medicine are used to instill suggestion inside your mind. You will be loyal to the object, person, or whatever the one who perform the technique wanted you to do."     

Chen Yuan played with the needles in her hand. The technique that she bitterly learned ever since she was young was actually nothing more than a tool that was capable of destroying people's life.     

When she first found out about it, she had been so devastated.     

She thought that it was only used to protect others, but it was actually that way. And Chen Family wanted her to use it on herself so that she would always be loyal to Chen Family and never betrayed them.     

In other words: to be their tool.     

The young Chen Yuan was really too naïve as she never realized that, not until she finally destroyed the entirety of Chen Family.
