Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1046: Smile

The monk scoffed. "Your expression clearly didn't express what you say. And to be able to live freely, there's always a price to pay because you have to make sure you're not stepping on another people's path. Get up and eat, your people will come soon."     

Nan Hua was silent.     

She watched as the monk walked out and shook her head slightly. This was the first time she talked with the monk directly, but he clearly knew that she was the one who made a move back then too. He might be staying away from the worldly affair, but it didn't mean that he remained oblivious.     

He just simply didn't want to get involved.     

A person like this was truly a double edged sword.     

Tep!     

Moving down from the bed, Nan Hua's feet landed on the ground. If she said that she was not affected anymore by her senior sister's decision and death, it would be a lie. But she knew that she couldn't stay here forever.     

Nan Hua knew very well that she was still a human being who could be affected by the action of others. Even though she had long sealed her emotions back then, they had returned little by little.     

She felt it very well.     

The grief, sadness, confusion, anger, and many other emotions when she was facing her senior sister.     

It came out strongly.     

She didn't want to experience it again.     

Even though she knew that people would die sooner or later, Nan Hua didn't want to experience these feelings anymore. Because of that, she would continue on this path until no one was able to touch her and the people around her at all.     

Drap! Drap! Drap!     

Nan Hua raised her head and saw Nan Si rushed over. His eyes lit up when he saw Nan Hua and quickly bowed down.     

"Why are you here?"     

"This one is afraid that something happens to you, Miss, so this one chased after you here."     

In truth, Nan Si was feeling crazy because he kept on losing Nan Hua's track. He searched everywhere for any traces of her until he found some footprints that were not completely erased by rain.     

They were heading towards this area.     

Thus, Nan Si decided to head over to Yi Shui Temple after telling the others.     

Nan Hua's eyes flickered. "Tell them to stop their move. I'm fine and just need to find a place to relax."     

Nan Si blinked his eyes and bowed. He then rushed out to deliver the message. In any case, he knew where Nan Hua was and didn't need to worry about it anymore. As long as Nan Hua was safe and sound, he just needed to do whatever he was supposed to do.     

Anything else was the second priority.     

Nan Hua walked out of the room and looked around her. The temple didn't look that much different from Yi Sheng Temple. In fact, they might have been built based on the same blueprint with some modification because of the difference in terrains.     

It was fresh and nice.         

Even though the other areas were all filled with war and anguish, this place was still tranquil and peaceful.     

The people here were trying their best not to get involved with any matters that had occurred outside no matter what happened. This would make them have less influence, but it would also protect them.     

It was good for these people.     

Not long afterwards, Chu Yue also came. She looked towards Nan Hua and felt incredibly relieved that nothing happened to Nan Hua.     

The people who were previously mobilized from Dark Moon Organization was retracted one by one.     

Some of them were still unwilling to go back, though.     

Such as Leader Xi who decided to take a stroll since she was so bored. Previously, she wanted to find Nan Hua, but since Nan Hua was fine, she would just use this chance to walk around and see the areas.     

It was nice enough.     

Bang!     

"Hua'er!" Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai burst through the door that evening. They heard that Nan Hua was already found in Yi Shui Temple. Since they were already halfway towards Yi Shui Temple, the two of them decided to charge through nevertheless.     

Nan Hua had just finished eating and currently relaxing. She looked at her twin brother and cousin.     

Did those people from Dark Moon Organization planned on telling everyone else that she was missing? If her grandfather or her Master heard about it, she was sure that they would cause storm in the entire land.     

She had to teach them some lesson in moderation next time.     

"It's good that you're fine…" Nan Luo plopped to the ground dramatically. He was indeed tired after pacing his horse all day long towards Yi Shui Temple. Not to mention, this temple was practically up in a hill, which make it difficult for him to reach on normal days.     

Feng Ao Kuai was a bit better as he kept standing straight. He was looking at Nan Hua worriedly and tried his best to restrain his emotion.     

"Luo, Ao Kuai, I'm fine," Nan Hua smiled reassuringly.     

Most of the time, Nan Hua would always keep a stern expression. It was not like she couldn't smile, but all of her smile was nothing more than an act for her. It was something that she would only do whenever she needed to pretend as someone who loved to smile like when she pretended to be Nan Luo.     

But Nan Hua's persona was that of a cold girl who rarely smiled, thus Nan Hua had long gotten used to it. Since this was also closer to her real personality, she had often forgot that she knew how to smile genuinely.     

But looking at her twin brother and cousin, Nan Hua really felt that she had to reassure them.     

And the two of them froze in place.
