Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

The servant looked at the disappearing First Master Jun and First Madam Jun. He just recalled something that he hadn't had the chance to tell them yet.

That the second young master had already met with Governor Nian along with the the other injured soldiers.

Counting the time these two people wasted…

They should have already distributed the money?

But the servant didn't dare to chase after First Master Jun and First Madam Jun. He was afraid that if he went over, these two people might even vent their anger on him if their intention was not realized.

He could only silently sneak away and returned to his post.

What happened later was not his business at all.

…

Governor Nian naturally just wanted to brush his face in front of these soldiers. After all, if these people were grateful to him, it would make things easier for him in this city. He still wanted to be a governor for a long time and having a good reputation was only the first step.

So he generously gave the money that has been arranged for them.

At this moment, Governor Nian even felt that Jun Shi Lian's proposal was really good. With the increased compensation and salary of these soldiers who returned, they would feel that the city's treatment was really good.

He hoped that this would last for a long time.

Jun Shi Lian was among these soldiers, waiting patiently for his turn. The others soldiers would take the money and then returned to their respective family members.

But not Jun Shi Lian.

Seeing that not a single person from the Jun Family coming, Jun Shi Lian sneered.

Governor Nian saw Jun Shi Lian's expression and thought that it was time for him to play. Even if he was paid by Jun Shi Lian to make things difficult for the Jun Family, but he himself had long disliked that family.

So he will give 120% of his ability to play in this drama.

He looked at the few remaining soldiers and decided that it was time. If the Jun Family were to come too early, then he wouldn't be able to do anything.

"Second Young Master Jun, would you like us to help you go back to the Jun Family?" Governor Nian asked. "There are many people crowding the street and it might not be comfortable for you to go by yourself."

The other nobles who still remained heard Governor Nian's words and turned to look at the young man. Seeing that he was also an injured soldiers and the fact that his surname was Jun…

Many people instantly knew who he is.

Not many people knew his name but they knew that the Jun Family had a child who go to the frontline many years ago. This man should be the child from that time. So many years have passed and he looked different, but the Jun Family still mistreated him.

What a pitiful young man.

This was what the people thought when they saw his lonely figure.

Jun Shi Lian raised his head, he looked straight at Governor Nian. If Jun Shi Lian had to say, he was not very good at acting.

After all, there was not many chances for him to act when he was on the frontline.

"Thank you for your concern, Governor Nian, but it's not necessary." Jun Shi Lian looked at Governor Nian and slightly lowered his head. His expression was still cold but his tone sounded a bit helpless. "I'll just wait here for a while longer. I'm not sure if the situation of the Jun Family is still the same now."

Well, it was no longer the same.

This was something that Jun Shi Lian had known when he sneaked in, which was why he chose to play this set. Jun Family Residence had moved or it could be said that it expanded. Moreover, many other new buildings were built over the years when he was on the frontline.

This city was no longer the same as what Jun Shi Lian remembered in his mind.

So if he choose not to go back directly, no one would find it strange. Other soldiers were also looking around, a bit confused due to the changes in the city.

"The Jun Family had thrive in the recent years," Governor Nian replied and then said, "There are indeed some things that have become different."

Jun Shi Lian nodded and looked around, seemingly thinking about something, before turning to look at Governor Nian. "Governor Nian, if the Jun Family is not willing to come and pick me up, can I trouble you to help me buy a residence?"

With that, Jun Shi Lian handed the pouch that has just been given to him by Governor Nian. The money might be a lot for most people but Jun Shi Lian had kept a lot of money that he took from the Jun Family.

The money in this pouch was really not much.

He also didn't need much money.

What he had was more than enough for Jun Shi Lian.

"Buy a residence?" Governor Nian arched his eyebrows and smiled faintly. "It's easy. Do you want a place near the Jun Family or far away?"

He knew that Jun Shi Lian was here to make trouble with the Jun Family, so the point of focus would be the Jun Family.

"Far away," Jun Shi Lian replied.

Since his relationship with the Jun Family has been known to be very bad, there was no need for him to pick a residence near the Jun Family.

As for his plan…

There was no hurry.

The Jun Family would be the first one to look for him.

"Wait, Governor Nian!" First Master Jun finally arrived and the first thing he heard was that his son wanted to use the money to buy a residence. Even if the price of residences in the outer area of the city was not that expensive, it would take a large chunk of money from the money distributed.

After all, Governor Nian told them the amount of money that he would distribute to the soldiers.
