FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Hearing Nan Hua’s answer, the corner of Long Qian Xing’s mouth raise imperceptibly. It was as if a child was given his favorite toys and could not hold back his excitement.

The answer was similar to back then but there was also difference.

And it was this faint difference that made Long Qian Xing really happy. He knew that Nan Hua was starting to accept him back into her life. Even if it was only a little bit, he didn’t mind at all.

As long as she was still here and let her enter bit by bit, he hadn’t lost his chance yet.

Long Qian Xing tried his best to calm down his turbulent mood and keep his voice calm as he asked, “Do you not want me to know, Hua’er?”

“It’s more convenient this way.”

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing calmly. If he were to know about her real identities, it definitely be very shocking. Nan Hua had no intention of involving Long Family deeply in this dark of assassination and so on.

If this matter were to leak out someday, Long Family would never be able to stand firm anymore. Rather than dragging them down into this matter, it would be better for her not to let him know.

As for her posing as Adjutant Nan…

It would be better for not many people to know that the Young Miss of Nan Family was actually a valiant soldier. A lot of people were still under the impression that this young miss was just a weak and ordinary young miss in the Capital City.

Nan Hua didn’t want to erase this kind of view of others towards her.

It would be better for them to keep looking at her that way so that they would not be wary of her and increased the degree of difficulties in her doing her mission.

“I see.” Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and felt somewhat helpless. He could understand that Nan Hua’s identity was indeed not very convenient to be leaked out. It was even more so when the tradition for women were still very conservative here.

If they were to know that the young miss of a noble family was fighting at the frontline and mixed with the rough soldiers, her reputation would be in tatters. Those other women who participated in the battlefield were all having difficult times in finding marriage partner.

Not many people were willing to be with them.

There was a female general in Shi Long Kingdom but until now she’s still single because no one dared to get close to her. They would think that she was too scary or not appropriate or whatever the reason was to reject the marriage proposal.

Thus, she was in her thirties by now but was still alone.

And Long Qian Xing had also heard that General Wei’s first daughter was experiencing similar problem. She was already 19 years old but no one had extended their hand for marriage yet.

Presumably, General Wei could only assign his subordinate to his daughter in the future if this continued.

Aside from that, there was also the problem where women were looked down by the others if they were not accomplished enough. After all, many of them couldn’t be compared in terms of physical strength, so it was hard for women to survive at the battlefield.

It was difficult.

Thus, some women would instead conceal their gender and appear as a male. But the problem was that when they got found out, it would be a death sentence for them. The rules were not so forgiving towards women in this era.

Some loopholes could still be used.

But for those without background, it was really difficult to say that they truly have a chance to make their name.

There were even some extreme cases that Long Qian Xing heard from his subordinate. But he was unable to help them because he had no direct relationship with that army and could only hear the report about what had happened.

That had made him angry.

He reported it to the other generals, but even his father said that he had no qualification to meddle with what happened in other generals’ army.

Thus, Long Qian Xing could only back down.

If there was a chance he wanted to erase this kind of practice. But if it was not possible, he would just let things go in accordance to how they should be.

And looking at Nan Hua who was also going to the battlefield, Long Qian Xing felt somewhat distressed.

But he knew that Nan Hua had her own reason.

And her own family also allowed her to be at the battlefield.

There were still many things about Nan Hua that he didn’t know. So Long Qian Xing planned to open this box slowly and carefully. He wanted to know more but he also didn’t want to scare Nan Hua away.

He looked at Nan Hua seriously. “Will you give me a chance, Hua’er?”

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and asked, “Chance?”

“I want to stay with you and know you better.” Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and his fingers were all clasped into a fist. In this dark room, he couldn’t see Nan Hua’s expression, but he knew that he must be sweating like crazy.

If this was told to him in the past, he would never think that he would be more nervous than when he was giving orders to thousands of soldiers under him to charge to the enemy’s line.

But right now, he felt really nervous.𝒩𝒐𝗏𝐞𝔩𝑵𝗲xt.𝓬𝚘𝔪

Nan Hua was looking at Long Qian Xing.

As compared to Long Qian Xing, her night vision was better and she could see his solemn expression clearer than him.

From the very moment Nan Hua decided to write her name in that letter to Long Qian Xing, she already had the answer.

So, facing Long Qian Xing’s question right now, Nan Hua only have one answer.

“Yes.”
