Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



Clang! Swish!

The two of them retreated and cupped their fist. It seemed as if they had come to an agreement to stop their spar. This was not a life and death battle and only spar in order to test their opponent's strength and so on. Because of that, the two of them were willing to stop when they felt that it was already more than enough.

"Thank you for your guidance today, Young Commander Mu." Nan Luo cupped his fist.

"Likewise." Mu Sheng Xi nodded.

Seeing that Mu Sheng Xi was unwilling to talk too much again, the two of them bid their farewell. Anyway, the real purpose was to send the letter and the spar was only in passing as a short entertainment.

These young masters were all very competitive and liked to challenge each other.

This event has been very common.

"Hua.. I mean, Nan." Nan Luo coughed. "Do you know the reason why his moves seemed to be a little strange?"

"His main weapon is glaive and not sword. Sometimes, his action is a bit too big for sword, which cause opening, but he can still deal with it well." Nan Hua looked at her twin brother and felt that he should go to the frontline to gain more experience so that he could deal with different types of commanders with ease.

Nan Luo was stunned. "I never heard that Young Commander Mu is using glaive."

"He might be still practicing and switch between the two weapons." Nan Hua was not interested in their affairs.

"Right." Nan Luo thought about the difference between the two weapon and then glanced at Nan Hua. "It has been a long time since the two of us spar against each other. How about if we also have a go?"

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. "You can't defeat me."

Nan Luo: "…" do you have to be so blunt?

He knew that he was not Nan Hua's opponent, but he wanted to know how his progress so far has been. Looking at his twin sister, Nan Luo felt that it would indeed take a long time for him to be able to catch up with her.

"Can I just try?"

"Yes, you can." Nan Hua nodded and walked to the training field. The other servants had been instructed not to come there by the steward. It seemed that this steward was also pretty good.

Nan Luo smiled and then dashed forward.

Clang!

Nan Hua easily parried Nan Luo's attack and side stepped to the side. She could easily attack him, but she simply moved her sword to the direction where Nan Luo was planning to attack next, blocking his move in a simple way.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two of them traded blows with Nan Hua being in defense most of the time. She could easily counterattack, but she let her twin brother kept on attacking her. His move was getting faster, but they were still nothing in Nan Hua's eyes.

After several incense stick of time, Nan Luo finally stopped while panting. He looked at Nan Hua, who was still at ease even after sparring against him for a long period of time and felt somewhat at loss.

Why did he feel that their gap could never be closed?

"Shall we prepare dinner?" Nan Hua asked when she saw her twin brother was staring in her direction.

"Fine. How about if we make some warm soup? The temperature had gotten colder recently." Nan Luo shrugged.

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother silently. It was still autumn and not yet winter. For them, the slight difference in temperature didn't really meant that much. Though, Yi City was indeed colder than other cities in Fei Yang Kingdom.

"You want to cook?" Nan Hua asked.

"Of course. Don't underestimate me! I have been cooking from time to time when me and the others are at the frontline." Nan Luo raised his chin proudly.

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother and said nothing. Anyway, she knew that there was no way Nan Luo would be able to survive without having some culinary skill. Even if it was not much, it was enough for him to feed himself.

The two of them then headed to the kitchen and borrowed the pot to make soup. Cutting vegetables, the two of them could use the knife very well. The chef who watched even felt that his job was at risk when he saw how these two easily handled the vegetables.

Aren't the two of them soldiers?

What was the use of them having good culinary skills?

The chef wanted to cry.

"Do you want to add this vegetable too?"

"That's not suitable for soup. Just add some potatoes."

"Ok, I'll do it."

The twin siblings didn't care about what the chef thought as they brought the pot out after they were done. Old Master Nan then came out of his study room and looked at his two grandchildren.

"Are you planning to eat without inviting me?" Old Master Nan asked sternly.

"I thought that Grandfather would like the chef to cook for you." Nan Luo laughed. "The food we make definitely can't compare to them."

To be exact, they only added some condiments and then the vegetables to the pot. The taste was alright. At least, it wouldn't make people die when they eat it.

"You rascal! Serve me a bowl!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Nan Luo laughed and prepared a bowl to his grandfather. At the same time, he was thinking that wasn't the one who serve the elders were usually the daughters or daughter in laws? Why did the role seemed to switch when it came to him?

Glancing at his twin sister who was preparing two bowls of soup, he chose not to think too much. Anyway, they could eat together warmly was already a good event.

Sitting on the table, they eat the soup. Old Master Nan knew that the taste couldn't compare to those chefs, but this was food made by his two grandchildren, so he felt happy to eat it.

Hmph!

No one is allowed to take his food from him.
