Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Luo heard the indifferent tone then turned to look at Nan Hua playfully. He could guess that she might be planning something just based on the way Nan Hua looked.

Nan Hua shook her head. Since they were not trying to search for trouble with her, there was no need for her to look for them for trouble either.

But.

The one who came to look for trouble was someone else.

Long Xu Nian spotted the twins from a distance. Seeing that they were fine, her eyes blazed with hatred as she stood up. Because Shangguan Die was also placed at importance, she also got the brunt with so many soldiers from Long Family died.

It was vexing for her.

Not only that, her dress was so dirty because she fell over so many times. While she was good at concocting medicine, she was not a martial artist who was capable of protecting herself.

"You two seem to be lucky, Young Master Nan, Young Miss Nan," Long Xu Nian said from a distance away.

Nan Luo furrowed his brows and wanted to step forward but Nan Hua tugged his sleeve from the back. Since the one who spoke was Long Xu Nian, it would be inappropriate for Nan Luo to be the one to speak.

"Young Miss Long, you don't look so bad yourself." Nan Hua still held onto her soup as she looked at Long Xu Nian.

Don't look so bad?

How could one not know that it was nothing more than a mock? Given by how Long Xu Nian couldn't even clean up her dirty hand, it was clear that she was suffering. There was no water nearby where she could wash up or she would have long washed and changed to a cleaner dress.

"Indeed." Long Xu Nian sneered, her hand stretched out. "I hope that you'll continue to be fine…."

Splash!

The bowl in Nan Hua's hand fell after wetting Long Xu Nian's hand. Nan Hua was looking at Long Xu Nian with cold and indifferent look. "My apologies, Miss Long, my hands are trembling due to fear."

Fear?

Nan Luo wanted to laugh but he restrained his laugh. How could he not know that Nan Hua had killed at least two assassins back then. She didn't even show any sign of fear when she was brandishing the sword and blood splattered.

How could she be afraid now that so much time had passed?

Long Xu Nian's face turned red. She was trying to spread the medicine powder in Nan Hua to make her itchy. But now that the soup had splashed to her hand, how should she do that?

And with Nan Hua's excuse, how could she dare to make a move and possibly make herself look even worse. Despite her anger, Long Xu Nian could only wrestle a smile out to Nan Hua. "It's fine, Young Miss Nan… I wish you can rest."

"Please excuse me and my brother, Miss Long." Nan Hua curtsied and walked away with Nan Luo. It seemed that they were not supposed to eat outside if they didn't want to get into trouble.

Long Xu Nian's eyes gleamed in ruthlessness when she saw the twins retreated back. If only it was possible, she would have long lashed out to these two. The problem was that she had an image that she had to keep up as the young miss of Long Family.

She had already created too much trouble that Old Madam Long reprimanded her a lot about it. If she dared to do anything else, she might be locked in Long Family Residence and thus couldn't do anything else.

Hmph!

Turning her body around, Long Xu Nian left.

"Hua'er, you should have just let me be the one to deal with her." Nan Luo felt aggrieved when he thought of how Nan Hua had to deal with Long Xu Nian. He wanted to tear off the despicable mask that Long Xu Nian wore on her face.

Nan Hua turned to look at Nan Luo and shook her head. "No need."

"But…"

"She wouldn't know who she offends."

"Huh?"

Nan Luo was still confused but Nan Hua merely sat in the carriage while watching the situation outside. The ladies have calmed down considerably and the fighting Princess Yue and Shangguan Die had already separated. They seemed to be too tired to continue their argument.

If they continued, it was likely that they would no longer have any face.

"Look, there's a white fox!"

"White fox? Really?"

"Kyaaa! How pretty!"

"White fox?" Hearing the scream from outside, Nan Luo was stunned. He turned to the window and peered outside. His eyes widened in surprise. "I didn't expect to see a white fox in this place! Hua'er, would you like the fox?"

But Nan Hua didn't answer.

Her eyes were staring at the white fox in front of her as she somehow recalled the novel once more. White fox was rare and usually only appeared at the north. Fei Yang Kingdom was located slightly more to the southwest, which meant that there was impossible for a white fox to be here.

Unless it was brought here.

And there was only one person who could possibly brought the white fox. A young master of a merchant family and also Long Qian Xing's best friend.

He had come to Fei Yang Kingdom.

Nan Hua didn't know the exact time, but she knew that Long Qian Xing would build an alliance with the merchant. Since they would need a lot of funds for war, merchants become a bit more important.

Though, their social ranks were still the lowest.

"Hua'er?"

"No need." Nan Hua looked outside. "There will be an interesting show."

"Hmm?" Nan Luo arched his eyebrows. He glanced outside and saw that the ladies were already excited to catch the white fox and moved near the fox along with their servants. Seeing that, he was speechless.

Ladies, a fox was still a wild animal. You should just leave the task to your servant if you don't want to get hurt. How stupid of them.
