[1] Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Ch 171 - 175

C171 - Food Sharing

Lin Yuan, who would be known as Merchant Yuan in the future, was only a young teenager at this age. He had great skill for trading and liked to accumulate wealth in order to be able to traverse between kingdoms freely.

That way, he wouldn't be involved with any wars and instead be protected.

Everyone only saw him as a merchant who were moved by the best profit he could get. He would not side with anyone, so they treated him as their bargaining chip and traded for what they needed. However, in reality, he was working for one person: Long Qian Xing.

It would all started by the time Lin Yuan lost his father in an accident. The novel never mentioned what accident it was but it happened in Fei Yang Kingdom. Even though Long Qian Xing would come, the event was glossed over at that time as it fast forward to Lin Yuan who was in slump and then Long Qian Xing extended his hand to help.

Since then, Lin Yuan took over the business from his father with Long Qian Xing helping him from behind. He would soon become someone untouchable in the land after a few years of accumulating wealth and growing his forces.

Except for some who knew him personally.

Nan Hua looked at the second man, who was called as Merchant Lin, on the ground. She never thought that this avalanche was the one that would kill Lin Yuan's father and changed his future. And without knowing anything, she had changed the future.

'Is this a good thing or not?'

Nan Hua didn't know.

She looked at the merchant on the ground but didn't try to turn the course back. There was nothing that she could do anyway.

"Young Miss Nan?"

The soothing voice called her out from behind. Nan Hua turned around and saw Long Qian Xing walked over. He looked pleasantly surprised when he saw the group but his expression darkened once more when he recalled where they were and the scene around him.

"Brother Long."

"Young Master Long," Nan Luo greeted formally. He would never want to acknowledge this man as his brother… even if his twin sister ended up marrying him in the future. Hmph!

Feng Ao Kuai and Feng Ao Si also greeted him respectfully. They were rather surprised to see him. Long Qian Xing also greeted them all formally in response before his gaze landed on Lin Yuan, who was looking at him with weird expression.

"General Nan is handling this situation. It'll be better for you to bring your father to the temporary houses." Long Qian Xing looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded. "Thanks… Young Master Long."

A smile formed at the corner of Long Qian Xing's lips. "I didn't do anything. If there's anyone who you should thank, that will be Young Miss Nan and her twin brother and cousins."

Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the way Long Qian Xing addressed them. Based on the normal etiquette, it was not normal for a man to address the woman first and refer to the males based on their blood relationship with the woman.

In fact, it was usually the opposite.

But with the way Long Qian Xing addressed them, he felt that the youth in front of him was a bit unfathomable. Why did he choose such unusual way to address them?

Lin Yuan's lips twitched but he nodded. He bowed down to Nan Hua, "Thank you very much for your help, Young Miss Nan. If you or your twin brother and cousins ever need my or my business' help, I'll definitely help you."
