Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2158  Nan Hua’s Maidservants (2)

Ran planned to take a nap but then felt hungry, so she went to the kitchen to take some food. Along the way, she passed by the training hall and could hear the sound of metal clashing.

While Ran was not really good at martial arts, she knew that such rapid exchange of moves meant that the people who fought were really powerful. She couldn't help but made her way there to check the situation. If there were anything interesting, she could stay and watch. Bang!

"I see… it seems that you're really weak," Chu Yue said in disappointed tone. She looked at Si Kang who had fallen to the ground and shook her head.

When she heard that Si Kang was responsible to protect Feng Ao Kuai, she though that Si Kang should be quite strong. But it turned out that Si Kang's strength was only average.

It was slightly better than most people, but it was not that good either.

Chu Yue felt that she better trained by herself.

After being trained by Nan Hua, Chu Yue's strength has improved leaps and bounds. Moreover, Nan Hua would not hold back when she was teaching her subordinates, making them suffer a lot.

Chu Yue was included in the training.

Coupled with the fact that Chu Yue's martial arts' talent was also quite good, Chu Yue had gotten far better along with time. Right now, it was not easy to defeat Chu Yue. Si Kang waved his wrist and chuckled lightly. "It has been a while since I met a worthy opponent. I apologize that I look down on you. I'll get serious now."

As Si Kang held the sword once more, the momentum from him was harder to face than before. His eyes become sharp as he looked at Chu Yue as if he was looking at his opponent on the battlefield. Despite not going to the battlefield again for a long time, it didn't mean that Si Kang's senses were completely gone.

He just needed to think of his opponent as his enemies.

It was only through this way would it be possible for him to win effortlessly. Chu Yue saw the difference in Si Kang's state and grinned. "I'm ready anytime."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two of them clashed rapidly and Dai could only watch from the sidelines. If Dai had to say, these two people were really good and Dai felt a bit envious.

Moreover…

'So you have been holding back when fighting me? No wonder I never won,' Dai complained in his mind.

He had sparred against Si Kang a few times in the past few days but Si Kang would always won. This made Dai wonder if he had made any mistake or Si Kang's strength was much stronger.

After all, Si Kang didn't really show any formidable aura or stance when fighting Dai.

Now that Dai saw Si Kang's battle with Chu Yue, he realized a painful thing.

That he was being underestimated.

Dai sighed deeply.

'I really should just focus on the strategy and tactics.' n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

If he were to force himself to learn more about martial arts, Dai only felt that his entire body hurt. But he also knew that he had to train more to keep up with Feng Ao Si.

Because that man's improvement was really fast.

As the adjutant, Dai had to try his best to keep up with Feng Ao Si.

"Are they using real swords?"

Hearing female voice, Dai turned to the side and saw Ran coming in. He nodded. "They're using real swords since practicing with wooden sword will yield different result."

Ran blinked her eyes and then asked, "Would it not be dangerous?"

"It's dangerous, but which part of martial arts is not dangers?" Dai shrugged. "Besides, when you decide to be a martial artist, you're basically putting your life on the line. You have to be prepared for this kind of training along the way to improve yourself."

Not everyone had that courage to step forward.

For this reason, Dai knew that the number of the real martial arts in the entire world were not that many. They only became soldiers either because of the forced recruitment or because they wanted to fight because of the glory, profit, honor, or their own belief.

Most of them were only for these two groups.

"I see." Ran nodded.

She never learned any martial arts and seeing this scene, Ran felt that it was the most correct decision she had made in her life.

Because she knew very well that it would be impossible for her to learn these things. "You're Young Miss's maidservant?" Dai asked.

He rarely saw Ran around.

With Xiao Yun, Mu Yan, and Chu Yue were more active, Ran's presence was relatively lower. It was not an exaggeration to say that not many people noticed her.

"Yes." Ran nodded.

"I'm Dai, serving First Commander Feng," Dai introduced himself.

"I'm Ran, Young Miss Nan's fourth maidservant," Ran also introduced herself.

In this way, while Si Kang and Chu Yue were sparring against each other, Dai and Ran were talking with each other at the sidelines. They talked about other things. …

On the other side, Mu Yan and Xiao Yun were making their way to the location where Xiao Yan was located. While the four of them have a break, the other servants under different masters might not necessarily have a break.

After all, this break rule was given by Nan Hua for them because they have been working hard in the past few weeks.

As they walked, Mu Yan could see that Xiao Yun looked quite nervous. "He's your own brother, why are you nervous?" Mu Yan asked in confusion.

"You can't understand." Xiao Yun shook her head. "We might be siblings but our current relationship didn't seem to be any better than strangers."

Mu Yan arched her eyebrows. "It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

From what she knew, Xiao Yan was not a person who would forget about his family members.

Xiao Yun pursed her lips but still followed Mu Yan.
