Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 755: Meaning of A General

Old Master Nan knew that, but he couldn't shake this feeling. When he started to train Nan Hua, he had already realized this many many times.     

The girl's tolerance of pain was too high.     

It was so high that even if she had a broken bone, she would not even utter a cry of pain.     

If not because he knew that she still had some hazy change of expression in her eyes, he would never able to detect his own granddaughter's shift in emotion.     

"She treat herself harsher than anyone else."     

Old Master Nan sighed. It felt as if Nan Hua was treating her own body as nothing more than tools that could be used for fight. Many of her moves were making use of her body to the fullest.     

And those kind of moves…     

Couldn't be done without perfect control of her body and also countless amount of training.     

"Old Master…" Hou Lin really didn't know how to coax people. He knew that the Young Miss was very harsh to herself, even more than anyone else he knew. It was as if she was putting her life on the line every single time.     

"Forget it."     

Even if there was something that couldn't be explained within Nan Hua, Old Master Nan would not pry into it. If his granddaughter wanted to tell him, he would listen to her. But if she didn't want to tell him, he would never pry into it.     

That was all.     

Still, his heart ached so much.     

Why can't his granddaughter just be his cute granddaughter who enjoyed life without having to care about anything else? Even if the sky were to fall, he would prop it for her!     

Old Master Nan sighed, lamenting to himself.     

Why did he had to trust his granddaughter in the hand of such a $%^&*( like Nan Shu Cheng?     

He really regrets it.     

While Old Master was lamenting, Nan Hua reached her quarter and asked her servants to prepare medicinal bath along with some medical equipment. She was already used to treat her own wounds, so the servants were very quick.     

During training, Nan Hua would treat her own wounds and didn't allow anyone else to get close.     

Her muscles ached after Nan Hua pushed herself a lot. She laid on the bathtub as she slowly applied the medicine. The outside wounds were only scratches that were not worth mentioning.     

But the real problem was because she had pushed her muscles and forcefully parried her grandfather's attack.     

Her muscles were swollen. It would take some time before she would be able to recover.     

'The difference between a general and a martial artist.'     

A martial artist pursued the pinnacle of martial arts. They would do their best to be able to be the best in terms of martial arts, not allowing them to lose and to fight with their mastery to compare with other people.     

But a general become a general because they wanted to protect the people behind them.         

When Nan Hua fought against Old Master Nan, she had noticed that Old Master Nan didn't even take a step back. He stayed still in his place as if he was saying that he would not allow Nan Hua to bypass him.     

A general lead the soldiers and protect the nation behind him.     

If he falters, the kingdom would fall.     

Countless lives would be lost.     

"Never take a step back."     

Once they entered the battlefield, a general had to understand that they fought for the kingdom. If they lost, they would lose the kingdom behind them. They would lose their loved ones.     

Because of that, they were not allowed to give up.     

They couldn't lose.     

Once they lost, they lost everything.     

Nan Hua finished applying the medicine and dried her body, wearing her clothes again. She walked towards her room and Mu Yan quickly stepped forward to help her dry her long hair while Xiao Yun prepared some night snack.     

Her eyes were looking at the moon outside.     

It was similar with her mission back then but the stakes were bigger.     

But there was one thing for sure: they couldn't lose.     

They were not allowed to lose.     

With that in mind, Nan Hua went to her bed and have some sleep. Even though her body was aching terribly, it didn't distract her from her usual rest. Before long, she had fallen asleep.     

Xiao Yun and Mu Yan quietly cleaned up everything and took their turn to guard their Miss's door.     

…     

The next few days passed quietly.     

Nan Hua didn't really have anything in plan when she agreed to her grandfather's request to come to his residence. There were indeed some things that she had to do, but it was not something that was very urgent. Besides, she had to wait for the right time.     

Aside from resuming her training lightly due to her straining herself, Nan Hua spent most of her time resting inside her room.     

Old Master Nan was also rebuked by his doctor and forced to stay still.     

That was until Nan Hua received the letter she had been waiting for a long time.     

"Grandfather," Nan Hua called during breakfast.     

"What is it, Hua'er?" Old Master Nan's face was not really good. Being reprimanded by the doctor, he knew very well that he wouldn't be able to do anything for the next few days. In his opinion, he had already healed.     

But the doctor still didn't allow him to move around.         

This vexed him.     

"I would like to pay a visit to Old Madam Long."     

Hearing that name, Old Master Nan's face turned 1000 times darker. He looked at his granddaughter gloomily. "Why would you want to see that old hag?"     

"Old Madam Long is not feeling too well." Nan Hua lowered her head.     

In fact, Old Madam Long's health had been deteriorating for the past few days. However, Nan Hua had only mentioned about it now because she couldn't do anything to help her before.     

Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter deeply.
