Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 990: Complacent

Chapter 990: Complacent

It was only the next day that Yu Jin told her soldiers about Jun Hua going for some of her Dark Moon Organization's mission.         

    

Then…     

Long Qian Xing came.     

"I didn't expect to have reinforcement here, Young Commander Long from Fei Yang Kingdom," Yu Jin greeted the other party with her own way, blunt yet somewhat polite.     

Long Qian Xing cupped his fist. "Long Qian Xing greets Queen Yu from the Mountain Tribe."     

"Tsk."     

Yu Jin could see that Long Qian Xing purposely ignore her taunt. Someone like this who could stay calm in the face of obvious provocation was someone who knew how to control their emotion well.     

There was not even a fluctuation.     

She didn't like dealing with people like this who smiled despite feeling the opposite.     

"I have only conquered this city recently. The soldiers are stationed for defense but I'm sure that those old fogeys will make a move, so do you want to participate in the defense from the city or just in that valley over there?"     

Long Qian Xing's lips twitched a bit.     

After coming to this world, he rarely met with anyone who could speak so freely like Yu Jin. Most of them were trained ever since they were young to talk covertly and made sure they would never reveal their true intention.     

It was a bit tiring to match them at times.     

But Long Qian Xing was able to adapt quickly after he had the chance to do so.     

"Replying to Queen Yu, I'll set up my soldiers in the valley so that we can deal with the soldiers first." Long Qian Xing smiled politely.     

Yu Jin blinked her eyes.     

This man was really a tough nut to crack. Anyway, she didn't really want to bully a brat whom she had only met for the first time.     

(A/N: … You're only older by 1 year compared to Long Qian XIng, Queen Yu     

Queen Yu: He's still a brat no matter what)     

"Fine, you can go."     

Long Qian Xing cupped his fist and turned around. He had already studied the map before coming here, but he would rather have another inspection to make sure that everything was right. The map in this era was not completely reliable.     

On the other hand, Yu Jin was looking at Long Qian Xing's back and suddenly speak out, "Young Commander Long, do you know Jun Hua?"     

Jun Hua.     

An unfamiliar surname but familiar name.     

Long Qian Xing's pupil dilated for a moment before returning to normal. As Yu Jin was not looking at him directly, she failed to notice those changes or she would have realized that there was something.     

"It's an unfamiliar name, Queen Yu." Long Qian Xing slowly turned around with a smile on his face. "Is that a name I should remember?"         

    

"She's a person from Dark Moon Organization and worked together with me before you come." Yu Jin tilted her head and smiled mysteriously. "Unfortunately, she had some business from her organization that forced her to leave first."     

"I see. That's really unfortunate." Long Qian Xing was still smiling like a gentleman. "Is there anything else that I need to know, Queen Yu?"     

Yu Jin was staring at Long Qian Xing's face deeply and then waved her hand. "There's nothing else. You may leave."     

"This young commander will take his leave first."     

As Yu Jin watched Long Qian Xing left, she rubbed her forehead. She really didn't know how her younger sister was actually related to someone so troublesome like this. Even that cunning Prime Minister didn't seem to leave an impression like how Long Qian Xing did.     

Or was it because she hadn't met with Prime Minister Lei personally.     

In any case, she preferred those who were frank and didn't hide their personality too much. They were easier to deal because their real intention was easy to guess.     

'Forget it, I better think about how to proceed from here.'     

They advanced a bit quicker than Yu Jin expected. She still wanted to test more of Zhang Xu Kingdom's soldiers, but there didn't seem to be any chance for her to do so anymore.     

While Yu Jin was walking away, Long Qian Xing didn't return to his soldiers directly and detoured to the wall. He pretended that he wanted to see the surrounding through the wall, so the soldiers didn't suspect anything.     

He looked calm.     

But his inner side was not as calm as he showed on the surface.     

He could still remember when he first heard the news of his fiancée's death and everything that happened that day. For many days, he really couldn't sleep because of thinking about this matter.     

And at the same time, he realized something.     

'I really never thought that I could possibly lose her.'     

From the very beginning, the two of them were tied in a marriage agreement. And Long Qian Xing took it for granted, feeling that no matter what happened, there was no way this agreement would be broken.     

He didn't have any plan to call it off.     

And Nan Hua didn't seem to have that plan either.     

So, he had been complacent, doing whatever he wanted without considering the other party's feeling. He thought that she understood him and with some coaxing, everything would be fine.     

But he realized that he was wrong.     

The agreement was not called off.     

But if the bride disappeared, how could they proceed with that agreement?     

In front of everyone else, Nan Hua had died. But Long Qian Xing knew very well that she's still alive and the few people who might know where she is are Feng Ao Kuai, Nan Luo, and Old Master Nan.     

Neither one of them would ever want to speak to him.     

And they didn't even tell him the reason why she wanted to disappear.         

    

"I was too complacent…" Long Qian Xing sighed.     

When he found Nan Hua, he will never let her go. Never ever again would he take her presence and their agreement for granted.     

All he needed was another chance to see her again.
