Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 925: Another Night of Waiting (3)

But the one who knew the technique the best is…     

"Hey, they're coming." Yu Jin turned around and grinned. "Xiao Shan is doing his work pretty well now. That brat is really growing up too fast."     

Nan Hua passed a look at Yu Jin.     

Previously, she had been saying that she should learn how to let her sibling to be by themselves. But now, it was clear that Yu Jin herself also didn't want her younger brother to grow up too fast.     

She still wanted to stay with her younger brother and pamper him.     

"Come on, we'll rest near here and depart in the morning. Oh right, I should introduce you to the boys too."     

"Ok."     

Nan Hua followed Yu Jin as they regrouped with the others. Now that they were preparing for a war formally, Nan Hua realized that they started to wear some armor. Though, their types of armor didn't really cover everything.     

She blinked for a moment then turned her head away to find Wu Shan.     

That young man should be the one leading the group.     

"Jin Jie," Wu Shan called out. He then turned to look at Nan Hua as he was not sure how he should call his new sister. It would be awkward for him to try getting too close to her because he didn't know much about the other party.     

Nan Hua looked at Wu Shan and thought for a moment before deciding not to call him at all.     

It was better to just let them be stranger for now.     

"How's the men?" Yu Jin asked directly.     

"They're resting for now. We're ready for tomorrow's march, Jin Jie." Wu Shan smiled and cupped his fist.     

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.     

His posture and etiquette really looked like he was part of the nobility based on how proficient he was. However, Nan Hua knew Wu Shan background rather clearly, so she knew that it would be impossible.     

He simply trained himself to reach that level.     

"Good."     

"Also, I brought you some food to eat." Wu Shan took the meal wrapped in leaves to Yu Jin. The leaves would become an insulation that prevent the food from going bad so quickly because of air exposure.     

"You know that I don't need you to prepare food for me, right?" Yu Jin laughed lightly. "But thanks. It's been a while since the last time I eat deer meat."     

Wu Shan nodded then he walked away once more.     

On the other hand, Yu Jin tore the package and took a piece of the meat towards Nan Hua. "You should eat too. Don't worry, he prepared more than enough for two people."     

"Mhm."     

Nan Hua had noticed it from the moment Wu Shan took that out. There was no way Yu Jin would be able to finish all of the meat unless she was an extremely big eater. And from what she had seen so far, Yu Jin didn't seem to care that much about the amount of food she ate.         

She could survive that much.     

The meat was delicious and after that Yu Jin introduced Nan Hua to her men. They were all stupefied when they heard that their queen actually accepted someone to be her younger sister. The last time it happened, it has been so many years ago.     

Some of them looked a bit skeptical, but Nan Hua didn't really care.     

When it was time for battle tomorrow, she would just fight and showed to them the real reason why Yu Jin allowed her to participate.     

…     

The night passed quietly.     

This time, Nan Hua slept on the tree while leaning on the branch. It was a rather comfortable position. And she also knew that it might be a bit dangerous for them to stay in this area as they were a bit too close to Zhang Xu Kingdom.     

Should they patrolled, they would definitely be able to see the thousands people camping here.     

When it was close to dawn, Nan Hua opened her eyes.     

She sensed someone approaching and leapt down the tree like a cat. Her movement caused no sound to be made nor any other disturbance. In the next moment, she had disappeared from her position.     

Nan Hua traveled to the front and stopped behind the tree. Her eyes were looking at the group of people who were approaching.     

'Three people.'     

It was hard to distinguish their features as it was still dark, but Nan Hua recognized their outfit. They were soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom. Was there someone from Zhang Xu Kingdom who came.     

Tep!     

Nan Hua turned to the side and saw Wu Shan jumped down the tree. He took his curved sword and leapt forward.     

Slash! Slash! Slash!     

The three men didn't have any chance to react before they were all killed swiftly.     

The night returned to its quietness.     

Nan Hua didn't speak and instead ran towards another direction. She saw more and more soldiers approaching the mountain and there was even an army. Her eyes narrowed slightly.     

That man who intrude into the Mountain Tribe had said that Zhang Xu Kingdom's envoy would come.     

But all she could see was these people coming.     

And there was a faint sense of unease that she felt when she saw the group of people who came this time. It was as if she was facing someone whom she didn't know and someone who could possibly injure her.     

It shouldn't be.     

Was the source of this sense of unease a person or items?     

"Jun Hua."         

Nan Hua turned around and saw Wu Shan was standing a few meters behind her. When he was within a certain distance, she was incapable of sensing him directly. Though, she knew that he was following her.     

"Leave this to the army. Part of us will stay here to deal with them while Jin Jie will take over the city."     

"I'll stay."     

Wu Shan nodded. "Then I'll request for your help."
