Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



"Second Young Miss Wei?" Nan Luo called out, seeing that Wei Mu Qing seemed a bit off.

"It's nothing." Wei Mu Qing smiled, looking at the young man in front of her. She thought for a moment and then added, "You have some other wounds, Young Master Nan. Would you like me to treat them too?"

The other wounds were just some scratched in Nan Luo's opinion, which would not hinder his movements that much. He usually didn't bother with them and only rubbed some medicine since they could heal fast.

But seeing Wei Mu Qing's concerned expression, he stretched his hand. "Please."

"Okay." Wei Mu Qing smiled and began to treat Nan Luo's wounds seriously. Even if they were just small wounds, she was doing everything carefully.

At this moment, Nan Luo felt that Wei Mu Qing was 1000 times better than Xiao Yan. At the very least, he didn't feel immense pain because of Wei Mu Qing's treatment as compared to when he was treated by Xiao Yan.

It was quite similar to when he was with his twin sister.

She would carefully treat his wounds, making sure that he didn't suffer more pain.

Wei Mu Qing could feel Nan Luo's gaze and felt a bit embarrassed to be stared so much. She coughed and tried to make a conversation.

"Young Master Nan, you have a lot of injuries from your past battles. If they're not treated properly, they might leave sequela."

"Most of them are just light wounds." Nan Luo shrugged helplessly. "And when I'm at the frontline, I can't always return just to treat these small injuries. My men are depending on me."

"I know." Wei Mu Qing recalled her own father.

For small injuries, Great General Wei would never care too much and would instead continue on marching. It was only when he couldn't move would he go to the back and treated his injuries.

Seeing her father like that, Wei Mu Qing felt heartache.

But she also knew that as a soldier and as a general, it was her father's duties. He will do his best because he had many things he wanted to protect.

Standing at the forefront, he protected those behind him.

Nan Luo watched as Wei Mu Qing bandaged his wrist and smiled wryly. "That should be enough."

"Are there other injuries?"

Nan Luo thought of his sides that also got some scratches... but it would be inappropriate to ask a young lady to treat him, especially because Wei Mu Qing was an unmarried young lady without close relationship with him.

"This is already enough, Second Young Miss Wei. The other injuries are inconvenient and had been treated," Nan Luo replied.

Wei Mu Qing looked at Nan Luo and understood that he was paying attention to her reputation. He didn't want to put her on the spot and explained carefully, allowing her to understand.

She nodded. "Okay."

Nan Luo watched as Wei Mu Qing cleaned up her belongings. "If you wished for my adjutant to take a look at your antidotes, you can tell me and I'll tell her when she comes here."

Wei Mu Qing's movements stopped. She turned around and looked at Nan Luo in surprise. "Young Master Nan, your adjutant is not here?"

From what she knew, adjutants were the people who would accompany their leader on the battlefield. It was rare that they were deployed somewhere else unless there was important mission.

But as a 2000 men commander, how could Nan Luo's adjutant be missing?

There were not many frontlines where he could be deployed to.

"Ah, my adjutant is a bit special." Nan Luo felt a bit awkward. It was hard to explain how Nan Hua kept on missing. Looking at Wei Mu Qing, he felt that he really wanted to explain more but he knew that he couldn't leak out Nan Hua's real identity.

"She's here to protect me most of the time because my capabilities are a bit lacking. Most of the times, she will have other things to do." Nan Luo thought about Nan Hua's last location and his expression was a bit indescribable. "She should be in the place where her fiancé is located."

He thought about Nan Hua going to the north and the fact that Long Qian Xing was also there.

After Long Qian Xing knew Nan Hua's real identity and the fact that she was also proficient in martial arts, he felt that the two of them were often seen together on the frontline. This made him really wonder whether Long Qian Xing was aiming to steal his adjutant on the battlefield too.

Wasn't it enough that he had stolen his twin sister and now he also wanted to steal his adjutant?

Nan Luo felt like sulking a bit.

Wei Mu Qing listened to Nan Luo's words, feeling somewhat happy from the bottom of her heart. While she didn't really understand this feelings, she was glad when she heard that Nan Luo's adjutant had a fiancé.

"I see." Wei Mu Qing didn't know what else she should say to respond. "If you need me to treat your injuries, you can call me, Young Master Nan."

"Ah, thank you." Nan Luo cupped his fist politely.

Wei Mu Qing curtsied and walked away.

Watching the young lady walked to her older sister, Nan Luo scratched the back of his head, feeling that this would be a bit complicated. Even if he was injured, he couldn't possibly call for Wei Mu Qing right away due to the fact that their relationship was not close, right?

This time it was a bit special because he was injured due to Wei Mu Bai's failed plan. He wanted to compensate a bit, which allowed Wei Mu Qing to come.

But next time?

Nan Luo sighed.

Well, he will think about this matter in the future.

Xiao Yan watched from the back, silently wondering whether it was time for him to report to Old Master Nan or not.

It seemed that his three grandsons all experienced springs in their life.

Oh wait, Feng Ao Kuai hadn't met with his prospective fiancée again yet, so two of his grandsons.
