Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua glanced at Nan Luo. "Don't think too much about it."

"Um." Nan Luo nodded.

Now that his report was done, he should go out to help Xiao Yan, but Nan Luo felt a bit lazy. He still wanted to rest more rather than going outside to work again. Looking at Nan Hua in front of him, Nan Luo asked, "Hua'er, do you still remember the Jun Family?"

"Jun Family?"

Nan Hua hadn't heard about them in a long time and hearing her twin brother mentioning them again made her feel strange. After all, even if their mother came from the Jun Family, they were not exactly close with her family members.

But after a moment, Nan Hua remembered that there were two people from Jun Family in Nan Luo's army.

It has been a long time since Nan Hua meddled in their matters, though.

After all, at that time Nan Hua only meddled with the Jun Family because she wanted to find the record and also to search more about her abilities. After she had found out about it and had helped them to a certain extent, she didn't pay attention to them again.

"Did something happen?" Nan Hua asked. Discover hidden stories at empire

"Well, I think you should remember our cousins Jun Fang and Jun Shi Lian," Nan Luo started slowly.

Jun Fang and Jun Shi Lian were the two cousins of Nan Luo and Nan Hua from the Jun Family. Back then, Nan Hua helped Jun Fang's father to get away from the rest of the Jun Family and settled down somewhere else. On the other hand, Jun Shi Lian's father was one of the few who did some bad things.

However, the remaining members of the Jun Family were still alive as Jun Fang only wanted to help his father get away.

They didn't do much.

Jun Fang said that he would let his cousin do whatever he wanted and would not do anything to Jun Shi Lian's father. It would be better to let Jun Shi Lian be the one to do it himself.

Years have passed since that time.

Nan Hua hadn't heard anything from this pair of cousins.

"I remember," Nan Hua replied.

"Well, Shi Lian came to me not long ago, requesting for him to go back home and retire from military," Nan Luo said slowly. "He said that he wanted to settle down his family members and ask for some advice about where he should go afterwards to avoid persecution."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and looked at Nan Luo.

For Jun Shi Lian to be so frank to Nan Luo, it showed that their relationship shouldn't be too bad.

From what she knew before, Nan Luo didn't seem to be that close with her cousin.

Then again, Nan Hua hadn't been with Nan Luo for a long time. Her twin brother also has his own life and might have made friends with Jun Shi Lian over the years when they were fighting on the battlefield.

Seemingly sensing Nan Hua's gaze, Nan Luo quickly said, "He's one of the thousands man commander in my army. If he wants to leave, he needs my permissions."

"Do you have the replacement for his position?"

"Yeah, his adjutant will take over his work," Nan Luo replied. After replying, he seemed to realize that this was not what he wanted to talk about. "No wait, that's not what I want to talk about. I don't need your help about my army, but about the place where he could leave after he's done with his actions."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

The laws in Fei Yang Kingdom still existed even if they were in the state of wars.

Considering what Nan Luo said…

"Did he plan to break a law?"

"That's…" Nan Luo frowned and looked outside. Sensing that there were no one around them and the rooms beside them were also empty, he nodded to Nan Hua.

Nan Hua naturally knew that Xiao Yan had already evacuated the people around this area a long time ago. The main reason was because her presence here might not be good to be talked about by others, but it would also be convenient for them to talk about other things.

"If he didn't mind leaving Fei Yang Kingdom, I know a place where he could stay," Nan Hua said slowly.

"Where?" Nan Luo's eyes lit up.

"The small kingdoms area further down to the south. The river is wide and currently rising but it should be feasible to cross the river with boat. If he's willing to leave and start anew, he could use that route," Nan Hua said slowly.

She knew very well that facing someone with the same surname as General Jun, the people in that area should be wiling to accept it.

But just in case, she could write a letter to Ming Shi Hong to tell him about her cousin's arrival.

"You don't have to help him settle down there," Nan Luo said quickly. "He said that he's not willing to ask for more help and just some advice about where he could possibly leave and stay."

Nan Hua, who was thinking about sending letters, shelved this thoughts and nodded at Nan Luo. "I understand."

In any case, Nan Hua was indeed not close to Jun Shi Lian.

If she were to take action to help him, he would be owing a favor to her and this might not be something that Jun Shi Lian wanted to happen.

After all, an owed favor is really hard to pay back.

With Jun Shi Lian's future plan of action, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to see Nan Hua again in the future. How could he possibly pay back this favor?

He couldn't.

And he didn't want to owe a debt for his entire life either.

"No one will chase him if he were to go there?" Nan Luo asked once more for confirmation.

"No." Nan Hua shook her head.
