Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



After Nan Hua gave a few more instruction to Si Mo Fan, she went to the small hut where Yan Xi was staying. At this moment, Chen Ji Yue was already sleeping and another person from tiger group was guarding her from the side.

Yan Xi walked out of the room and smiled at Nan Hua. "With how much the children like you, I'm surprised you don't spend more time with them."

"There's no point." Nan Hua also didn't understand why children seemed to like her so much when she was actually a killer. With how much blood she had spilled, shouldn't people fear her instead?

But the children instead liked to stuck to her.

And she herself didn't know the reason.

"Children are more sensitive and they usually know when a person is kind to them or not." Yan Xi smiled. "Perhaps, in their eyes, you're kinder than others."

"Kind?" Nan Hua felt that the word 'kind' should never be associated with her. She has never been a kind person, not in her previous life and not in this life. Those enemies of hers would definitely be able to give the best testimony.

Yan Xi chuckled. "Do you like children?

Does she like children?

If Nan Hua had to be honest, she never thought about this matter in the slightest bit. She definitely couldn't just treat children lightly if they were placed in front of her because of her strength.

But when she saw children, she had one thought. If it was possible, she didn't want to see any children repeat her past because of how inhumane it was.

They should just laugh and play happily without caring about the world. Let them stay innocent for as long as possible because only children have the privilege to be innocent without anyone admonishing them.

When they grew up, they will realize how dark the world truly was.

Even she knew that her past was not the best childhood for anyone. It was a treatment no one should experience in their entire life no matter who they were.

"I don't know," Nan Hua said calmly.

"Really?" Yan Xi arched her eyebrows and then laughed lightly. "I like children. When I'm with them, I always feel younger."

Nan Hua looked at Yan Xi. She knew that this woman in front of her was already in her forties, but Yan Xi's appearance was more like a woman in her early thirties. It might be because she was a person who always take care of her appearance and lived her life happily.

"Do you want to get out?"

"What's this suddenly?" Yan Xi was stunned.

"If you want to get out, you can ask for permission from Si Mo Fan." Nan Hua thought for a moment. "Your niece will not be able to last for so many years."

Yan Xi didn't answer and looked at Nan Hua deeply. She felt that her past which she wanted to run away from was something that was very clear for Nan Hua.

"There's no need."

"I'm going to the valley to see the training." Nan Hua thought for a moment. "I'll depart tomorrow, so Chen Ji Yue can only play with me for a day."

"I'll tell her that." Yan Xi nodded. "Where are you going afterwards?"

"Frontline."

Frontline?

Yan Xi watched Nan Hua's departing back and then shook her head bitterly. For some reason, she felt that Nan Hua was purposely avoiding that conversation and then shifted the topic towards herself to avoid her talking about Nan Hua.

She rubbed her chin.

'When did she investigate my past?'

For some reason, Yan Xi felt that nothing could be hidden from Nan Hua. She sighed deeply and felt that she could just ask about it later. There was high chance that Nan Hua would make use of Chen Ji Yue to avoid talking about other topics that she didn't want to answer.

<Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City>

After the letter that was sent to Emperor Yang Zhou from Fan Yi Kingdom, the entourage of messenger came not long afterwards. There were not many people in the group and they were all people whom Crown Prince Ping had carefully selected.

"Have you checked them?" Prime Minister Xian asked the few officials who were tasked to welcome the messenger.

The officials quickly cupped their fist and bowed slightly. "Prime Minister Xian, we have already checked their belongings. There is nothing weird."

"Good." Prime Minister Xian's eyes narrowed. "Don't let any mistake pass."

"Yes!"

Among these officials, Shangguan Yu was sitting on his wheelchair, listening to everything calmly. Because he was inconvenient, he could only watch from the distance as these officials greeted those people from Fan Yi Kingdom.

"Your Highness, the check is over. Would you like me to accompany you to go back?" An official walked forward and asked with a polite smile.

Shangguan Yu raised his head and smiled at the official in front of him. "Many thanks for your concern, Official Han. Ben Wang can return by myself."

Official Han cupped his fist and said a few more polite words before they watched as Shangguan Yu left.

The other officials glanced at Official Han and shook their head.

"His Highness is just an oversee. He couldn't do anything and there's no point in talking too much with him, Official Han." Another official felt that Shangguan Yu's position in the Imperial Family was nothing more than a show.

In truth, this so called prince had no power and naturally didn't need to be served.

Official Han turned around and smiled. "His Highness is here, I'm just being polite to him."

The other officials shook their heads and said nothing more.

Regarding Shangguan Yu's position, who among them were not clear that this cripple man was 'lucky?'

If not because of him being a cripple, the Emperor might have put more people around him to watch over him. But because of his future prospect was low, no one cared that much about him.
