Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Luo nodded. "Sure."

The two of them sat near the campfire while the servants cooked some soup. Drinking the warm soup in this cold morning felt enjoyable. Nan Luo certainly liked it very much. If not for the wrong occasion (having just escaped from the assassins), he would have asked for much more.

$%^&*(!

They heard some commotions from the side and turned their head. The sight of Princess Yue and Shangguan Die clamoring could be heard even from a distance away.

"To think that a Princess would be so valuable to the point that there are a lot of assassins who came. You truly live up to your name, Your Highness."

Princess Yue narrowed her eyes. "What makes you think that they would come to me. Shouldn't it be because of you, whose beauty was known to be attracting calamity should be the target?"

"This one had heard that the assassins came to....."

"Oh, how unlikely for it to happen. This princess instead heard another more…."

Even from a distance, they could hear the sharp and dissing tone of both parties.

"They really can't calm down." Nan Luo was speechless. Even though they had just survived from the assassins, they already have so much energy to the point that they quarreled with each other. He really couldn't understand these women.

Probably it was also because they couldn't fight and let everything to their servants that they felt save here.

With so many soldiers guarding them, it would be a joke if they were not save.

"Young Master Nan, Young Miss Nan, are you alright?" A young man donned in armor walked in their direction. His handsome and youthful countenance stood up greatly amongst the other soldiers in this place. Despite his gentlemanly appearance, there was faint brutal aura around him. It was clear that he was someone who had survived the cruel battlefield and make it out alive.

Given by how the servants and soldiers respected him, they could guess that he must have some position.

The twins naturally knew him. Chi Song Liang, the young master of Chi Family and also a commander in the military.

"Commander Chi, thank you for your concern but we're alright." Nan Luo stood up and cupped his fist while Nan Hua curtsied from behind him. It was inappropriate for noble ladies to speak to a young man alone and since her twin brother was here, he could be the one to act as her speaker.

Chi Song Lian laughed lightly. "It's good that you're alright. You're save in this place, so please have some rest."

"Many thanks for your concern, Commander Chi."

"I'll excuse myself."

Looking at the twins who kept their calm, Chi Song Lian would be lying if he didn't say that he was not intrigued. When most of the other people were feeling on edge because of the assassination, the two of them were sitting calmly beside the fire to warm their body and drink soup.

Compared to many other young masters and young ladies, their performance was a bit outstanding.

Of course, one should exclude the fighting princess and young miss of Shangguan Family.

"Young Master Chi, General Chi is waiting for you."

Chi Song Lian nodded. He looked at the twins behind him once more before asking. "Do you know anything about the Nan Family?"

"Nan Family?" The soldier was taken aback. He then turned to look at the twins before lowering his eyes. It was inappropriate for someone of low status to even look at someone with higher status, so he was being very careful.

"They should be Young Master Nan Luo and Young Miss Nan Hua. Young Master Nan Luo is groomed by General Nan to be a soldier while Young Miss Nan Hua is the fiancée of the new Commander Long from Long Family."

"Commander Long?" Chi Song Lian furrowed his eyebrows before the smiling face of Long Qian Xing appeared in his head. The corner of his lips curled up to form a sneer. "So it's that brat, Long Qian Xing's fiancée?"

No wonder she was quite extraordinary.

The soldier was a bit speechless. Long Qian Xing was only a few years younger than him, right? However, it was not his business how Chi Song Lian would greet the other party or anything.

Since that was the case, Chi Song Lian paid no more heed to the twins. There were many other things that he had to take care. Just the fact that there were a lot of noble ladies who were harmed had already told them that they would be in trouble later.

"Tsk."

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother, who clicked his tongue. She could see that he was in bad mood because of Chi Song Lian's appearance. "Luo."

"That Commander Chi is a bit of…ugh…" Nan Luo sighed. He waved his hand. "It's nothing. You can stop thinking about it."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and lowered her eyes to the soup in her hand once more. It seemed that Chi Family was one of few suspects that Hou Lin didn't want to tell her. They were trying to protect their young miss too much.

If they told her nothing, she wouldn't be able to be of much help to them.

Kyaaa!

The sound of screaming come from the side. Nan Hua glanced and saw Nan Xin fainted because a soldier was wounded along with several other ladies. They immediately fainted upon seeing blood.

"No wonder they didn't come trouble for us." Nan Luo was speechless. How come these ladies were so weak that they couldn't even stand the sight of blood? Hadn't they seen blood in the past?

It was impossible for them to never see someone got wounded, right?

If it was true… just how pampered were they?

"Mhm."

"Would you like them to come here?" Nan Luo heard the indifferent tone then turned to look at Nan Hua playfully.. He could guess that she might be planning something just based on the way Nan Hua looked.
