Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



The night passed by quietly.

With Emperor Yang Zhou's arrival, some matters that was previously pushed back were brought to the front once more. It was as if these officials were all eager to obtain some bonus points by doing them fasters.

And then the ceremony was prepared.

Those who had to come were all preparing in the morning, including Old Master Nan. He looked at the two children who were still squabbling around and sighed deeply.

Why can't Feng Ao Si and Nan Luo grow up?

He felt that his first children were all a bit lacking in terms of behavior.

"If you still want to fight, do it after the ceremony." Old Master Nan looked at the Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si when they reached the carriage. He didn't want the two of them to make his face lost during the ceremony.

That would be very embarrassing.

The two of them looked at each other and then looked away. They were still arguing because of Feng Ao Si's blunt words and Nan Luo's mocking afterwards. Thus, the two of them kept on sparring.

Thankfully, they didn't overdo it or they might not be able to attend the ceremony.

"We're riding one carriage this time." Old Master Nan pointed to the carriage that was already prepared for them. He actually wanted to have separate carriage so that he didn't need to listen to these brats' talking.

But there were a lot of people attending.

The palace in Yi City was somewhat different from Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.

And it will be very crowded.

"Ok." Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si nodded their heads. They knew very well that if it was similar to the previous one… they would have some difficulties to find place for the carriage because there were simply too many guests.

It would be better to just have one carriage to reduce the number of carriages used.

It would ease their servants' work to find a place to park one carriage compared to park three carriages. The other guests would also consider this matter and tried to reduce the number of carriages consciously.

Anyway, it was not that important to use so many carriages.

"Nan, come inside."

"Yes."

The four of them got into the carriage. Thankfully, they were using the big carriage so it fit them all perfectly.

Though, Nan Luo had to admit that his grandfather was really big. He even wondered how his grandfather could be so tall and big. "Grandpa, what did you eat that allow you to grow so much?"

"Am I that tall?" Old Master Nan was speechless. But looking at Nan Luo and Nan Hua who were short, he fell silent.

"Grandpa?"

"I think you two inherit your mother's gene."

Nan Luo and Nan Hua: "…"

From their memory, they knew that their mother was short. Their own father was only 1,7 meters more or less but their mother was only 1,5 to 1,6 meters. Their grandfather was closer to 2 meters and they didn't know much about their grandmother, but she might not be so tall since neither their father or their aunt was as tall as their grandfather.

And from what Nan Hua knew about twins was that they were usually a bit shorter than normal siblings. In some cases, it was not true, but in some other cases, their height was somewhat influenced.

The two of them looked at each other and felt somewhat helpless.

They really couldn't do anything about this.

Nan Hua herself didn't mind that much since her height in her original world was also around 1,5 to 1,6 meters. She was comfortable with this height and didn't think that there was anything wrong.

However, Nan Luo felt that he wanted himself to be taller. At the very least, that will allow him to look at others without having to raise his head. Right now, he was being treated as a brat by the people he met.

It was so annoying.

"Pfft, hahahaha!" Feng Ao Si laughed. He himself was already 1,8 meters, closing to 1,9 meters. While he still had childish personality, his body had already fully grown to that of an adult.

"Brother Si, I think we should have meeting at the field later." Nan Luo's face was dark.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Feng Ao Si snorted.

Nan Luo sneered. "We shall see who will lose later."

Looking at these two who were still quarreling, Old Master Nan shook his head. However, the corner of his lips tugged to form a faint smile. At the very least, he knew that these two would never hurt each other for real.

"We're almost at the palace." Nan Luo looked outside.

The distance from their temporary residence to the palace was not far.

The carriage stopped and Old Master Nan alighted first followed by Nan Luo then Feng Ao Si. There were already a lot of people coming there with each and every single one of them had quite high ranking in the military.

They all cupped their fist when they saw Old Master Nan. With Old Master Nan's high rank and fame, there was almost no one who didn't know him.

Nan Luo's eyes shone when he saw them all.

His desire to spar against these high ranked commanders hadn't diminished in the slightest bit. In fact, he still wanted to have more spar with them.

Beside him, Feng Ao Si was not any better.

The two of them indeed liked to spar against others.

"Great General Nan, First Young Master Feng, First Young Master Nan, and Adjutant Nan." Long Qian Xing came forward when he saw them and cupped his fist. "It's a pleasure to see you able to come here."

The reward ceremony was not obligatory and some generals and commanders liked to make excuse to skip it. Some of them liked the fame and honor that came with it while some others would rather go far away. They had no intention of interacting with the troublesome nobles.

Long Qian Xing himself wanted to escape but Emperor Yang Zhou's words made him changed his mind.

Forget it, he will attend this time.
