Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"There's nothing else. Please excuse me, Young Commander Nan." Wei Mu Qing smiled.

After that, Wei Mu Qing went back hurriedly.

Nan Luo watched her for a while before turning his attention to his meat skewer and continued eating. It was only at this moment he realized that he forgot to put his meat skewer down...

He really put his years of etiquette education down by forgetting something like this.

Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows. "This is not the first escort mission we received, Luo. It's the first time you look at them a few more times."

"That's not true!" Nan Luo was stunned and refuted.

However, he felt that his words actually held no strength at all. Whenever he saw Wei Mu Qing, he couldn't help but be reminded of her sweet smile when he asked the question back then. That was why he couldn't help but a bit conscious of her presence and glanced in her direction from time to time.

Even though he could still maintain the same politeness during formal meeting, his eyes kept on moving towards her from time to time. And what happened just now was not something new, so he knew how to respond without breaking etiquette.

Most of the other nobles would not come forward to thank them personally.

Even if they did, they would be escorted by the others and Nan Luo would only say some polite words. Besides, they were mostly not directed at him and only towards the others because his young age made him not being much appreciated.

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. She never realized that her twin brother would actually show interest in the opposite gender so quickly. But thinking about it, he would be 17 years old this year and it was also the time where boys entered puberty and would start to behave... ehem.

Second Young Miss Wei, Wei Mu Qing.

There was not much information that Nan Hua knew about this young lady. After all, compared to her older sister who was active at the battlefield, she rarely showed her face if any at all.

'Should I search more about her?'

"Luo."

"What is it again?" Nan Luo was worried that Feng Ao Kuai would try to pit him.

"When we see Grandfather again, I'll naturally relay this to him. I'm sure that he'll be happy to see you have an interest towards a fine young lady." Feng Ao Kuai showed a dark smile.

Hearing that, Nan Luo's face fell.

He recalled the days when he laughed at Feng Ao Kuai because the latter was suddenly arranged marriage with Fourth Miss Mu.

Would it be his turn?

For some reason, Nan Luo really felt like crying right now.

"Luo."

"Yes, Nan?"

"Are you interested in her?" Nan Hua asked directly.

"Huh? No! I mean... Uh..." Nan Luo scratched the back of his head with frustration. He felt a bit at loss. "I mean, my sister is the best and I just feel that she's quite nice and uh... that's all?"

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother and decided to leave this matter be. Having some interest in the opposite gender meant that Nan Luo is a normal man. However, whether he truly liked the other party or not was not something that could be decided within moments.

She would just give him some time to think about it.

Feng Ao Kuai pursed his lips when he saw Nan Hua's reaction. "I see, it seems that Nan Luo will no longer pester his twin sister a lot."

"I never pestered her!"

"Really?" Feng Ao Kuai narrowed his eyes.

Nan Luo averted his eyes guiltily. "At most, I'll only ask her to accompany me from time to time and that's not pestering..."

Feng Ao Kuai scoffed. "You never let her stay with her fiancé even for a quarter of incense stick of time. What would you do if she also didn't let you stay with your fiancée in the future for more than a quarter of incense stick of time?"

"That's..."

At this moment, Nan Luo did feel increasingly guilty. He just didn't want his twin sister to leave so quickly, but when he thought that his twin sister had long passed the marriageable age but still followed him to the battlefield...

It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel that he did something wrong.

Nan Hua raised her hand and poked Nan Luo's forehead. "I'm not here for you but for myself."

"...I know."

Nan Hua shook her head and then stood up. The only reason why she decided not to come as Nan Hua was because of her relationship with Dark Moon Organization and the Mountain Tribe. That organization and the tribe should never ever be related to Nan Family in the slightest bit.

Even if they who were personally involved knew, it should never be spread out.

Once this matter was spread, the one in danger would be those who were close to her and her family members.

She wanted the power to protect them.

But the same power could also destroy them if it was not used carefully.

As Nan Hua walked away, she noticed Wei Mu Ya was talking with Wei Mu Qing and also Wei Mu Qing's red face. In this era, women were married when they were 15 years old and from the moment they were 10 to 12 years old, some girls had started to be engaged.

Wei Mu Qing might have started to think about this matter within her heart.

'I'll not meddle for now.'

After a moment, Nan Hua looked away. Whatever her twin brother decided in the future, she would respect his decision. In any case, it was impossible for the two of them to stay together forever.

For the first half of their lives, they did spend a lot of time together as siblings.

But for the second half of their lives, they would spend their time with their respective partners.

They were growing up.

And soon, they would pick their own separate paths.
