Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



"Then I'll ask again in the future?" Long Ai Ning asked tentatively.

"Yes."

"Okay~."

Seeing the smile on Long Ai Ning's face, Nan Si shook his head. He didn't think that there was anything interesting about him. While he didn't really mind telling others about his past, but he also knew that his past couldn't be considered good for others.

He didn't want to make Long Ai Ning's mood bad.

Looking at the food that was almost done, Nan Si stepped forward to help Long Ai Ning to carry it.

...

While Long Ai Ning and Nan Si were busy in the kitchen, Chu Yue returned to the backyard. There were four maidservants who followed Nan Hua named Xiao Yun, Mu Yan, herself, and also Ran.

After they had gathered together again, they discussed about their distribution of work yesterday.

After all, now that Nan Hua had married, they would have to work together with Long Qian Xing's servants too. This would be a new place for Nan Hua and them, so they all have to try their best to adapt at the fastest speed possible.

In the work's division, it was then arranged for Chu Yue and Mu Yan to follow Nan Hua most of the time.

The two of them had been working outside and in terms of martial arts, Chu Yue was the best, so the two of them would be the one to follow Nan Hua most of the time.

On the other hand, Ran would stay at the back and help to manage the affairs in the residence that was most inconvenienced. She and Xiao Yun still continued their training when they were staying in that temple back then.

So when it came to management, the two of them were the best.

Xiao Yun would also do this and at the same time, she still maintained contact with the people under Nan Hua from Dark Moon Organization. When she was staying in that Yi Shang Temple, Xiao Yun still interacted with the people whom Nan Hua sent letter to.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After all, she had to make sure that the fake Nan Hua was doing her duties well.

In that situation, she had to know what happened in the outside world.

Between Xiao Yun and Ran, it was clear that Nan Hua trusted Xiao Yun more, so the one who kept the contact so far was Xiao Yun.

On the backyard, Mu Yan was standing at the side, maintaining the same posture as usual. Not far from her was Lou, who was following Long Qian Xing and right now, standing guard to do whatever Long Qian Xing ordered.

Chu Yue stood beside Mu Yan.

They all looked at the front where Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing were sparring with each other. Even if they have some doubts in their hearts as to why their Master and Miss were so energetic early in the morning, they would not ask it out loud.

As qualified servants, they knew what they could and couldn't ask.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing filled the backyard.

The two Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were fighting with swords and exchanged several moves within moments. Their speed was so fast that if others were not paying attention, they would miss the move.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Swish!

With a wide movement, Long Qian Xing slashed forward and Nan Hua jumped back to keep her distance away.

"Are you alright?" Long Qian Xing asked with frown. He was not sure that Nan Hua would be fine to spar after their long exercise last night.

*cough*

"I'm fine." Nan Hua waved the swords in her hand. She tilted her head and smiled faintly. "Should I ask you the same question?"

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows.

Nan Hua was getting more and more mischievous and no longer as cold as she used to be. But this also meant that she was getting more comfortable around him, which was something that Long Qian Xing himself felt happy to experience.

"Since you're alright, let's start again?"

"Yes."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two of them were using real swords, but they were careful enough not to hurt the others. Even if their actions looked very fast and serious, but their control over their weapons were

really good.

There was no chance for them to truly hurt the other party, it would either be blocked or avoided.

After they had exercised enough, they stopped.

"Miss, the food has been prepared."

"Good." Nan Hua nodded. Before she and Long Qian Xing started their spar, she had asked

Chu Yue to tell Long Ai Ning to prepare breakfast.

After all, before meeting with Old Madam Long and Long Ao Ming, Long Qian Xing's father, it would be better for them to fill their stomach first.

"Let's go back." Long Qian Xing put his sword back to its sheath and then reached out his hand to hold Nan Hua's hand.

Even though there was no tradition to hold the other party's hand in this era, Long Qian Xing still liked it. In one side, her hand was really soft. On the other side, this made him feel that she was right beside him.

Nan Hua also held Long Qian Xing's hand tightly. It felt warm and comforting.

The other servants silently looked away when they saw the two of them. As servants, they were not allowed to look at their Master's interaction with each other.

Only Long Ai Ning was different because she kept on staring in their direction even though her head was slightly lowered. Nan Si, who was not far from Long Ai Ning, could see Long Ai Ning's excitement when she watched Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua's closeness.

He felt that he really couldn't understand Long Ai Ning.

What was so fun about watching them?

Chu Yue and Mu Yan, who followed Nan Hua, had their lips twitched when they saw Long Ai Ning's gesture. Seeing that Nan Hua didn't seem to care, they chose to turn blind eyes about

this.
