Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

With that, he could easily take control in a conversation.

And even though Long Qian Xing knew that Zhang Dan Shui was implying that he wouldn't stay in the Capital City for a long time, Long Qian Xing still trike to maintain some relationship with him.

'He's indeed very capable.'

Nan Hua was sure that if Long Qian Xing were the Emperor, he would be a very domineering one. But at the same time, Long Qian Xing might not want to be one because it was too tiring to deal with these people at the court.

After all, Long Qian Xing still have the modern world's worldview, which was somewhat different compared to this current world. It was not easy for him to blend into this world and made sure that he was not much different from others.

Becoming an Emperor?

It was not completely impossible, but Long Qian Xing was not the type of person who liked to stay holed in one place. He has always been an adventurous person who liked to explore many things.

When Nan Hua read the novel, she had long known that the transmigrated protagonist, Long Qian Xing, talked to Emperor Yang Zhou about his dissatisfaction of the Emperor's system. It was not like he didn't like power, but he didn't like the fact that being the Emperor also meant that he would have to be controlled by so many protocol and so on.

For Long Qian Xing, what he liked the most was freedom.

The novel never explained too deeply about Long Qian Xing's background before he transmigrated into the story. What Nan Hua knew was that he was still fairly young when he first transmigrated because he was said to be a young man.

But getting freedom in this world was not easy.

Long Qian Xing knew it very well.

And Nan Hua also understood it clearly.

No matter what their position was, there were a lot of rules that restricted them from doing whatever they wanted. The rules also allowed the authorities to maintain the peace in this world, but at the same time, there were some things that felt a bit suffocating.

This was one of the reasons why Long Qian Xing liked the frontline.

And Nan Hua herself didn't want to be so involved in the nobility world because she knew that it was impossible for her to truly become a noble lady. As a person who was raised in the battlefield, this beautiful world was very incompatible with her.

Battling with mouth was not impossible.

But it was a skill that Nan Hua only got after she came into this world.

In her previous world, she would not bother memorizing so many poems and then learned how to act so elegant in her every action. Because in that brutal world, what was important was how fast she attacked and finished her mission.

Nan Hua closed her eyes, pushing those thoughts back into her mind again.

"There will be more chances to work together in the future." Zhang Dan Shui smiled as he tried his best not to be led around by Long Qian Xing. "Young Master Long is indeed a very persuasive person."

Long Qian Xing chuckled. "I should say the same to you, Governor Zhang."

"I have learned a lot from you, Young Master Long. If there's a chance in the future, I would like to invite you for a drink."

"Unfortunately, I'm still underage, Governor Zhang." Long Qian Xing showed a bitter smile. He really didn't want to be reminded that he was still underage, but whenever he heard other people talked about drinking, he would remember Shangguan Xiao reminder to him. It was really annoying.

"My apologies. In that case, how about a meal?"

"That would be good."

The two of them said a few more polite words. Not long afterwards, Zhang Dan Shui hurriedly left.

Song Chuan glanced at Long Qian Xing. "Young Master Long, there's no need to be so impatient to drink."

Long Qian Xing passed a look at Song Chuan. His eyes seemed to give warning towards Song Chuan, who was trying his best not to laugh.

Lin Yuan snorted. "Even if you're underage, there's no rule that stated you couldn't drink at all. As long as no one knew about it, I could take you to have some drinks."

"No."

It was not just a matter of rules but more of a matter of health. Long Qian Xing didn't want to make his youthful body be broken so easily because he drank too much. After all, too much drinking would destroy one's liver.

He just felt that it was really annoying to be reminded over and over again that he was still young. If only he didn't come to this world, he would have been able to drink because his body was that of an adult.

"That's too bad. There's a newly arrived batch of good wine…." Lin Yuan's words stopped halfway because he felt the sudden cold wind. He swallowed whatever words he was going to say next as his survival instinct told him that he was not allowed to say any of them.

Song Chuan coughed lightly. "Young Commander Long, it's been a while since you disappeared. There will be many people who are looking for you."

"Indeed." Long Qian Xing smiled once more. "Let's go inside. Would you like to come with us, Nan?"

Seeing the polite smile on Long Qian Xing's face, Nan Hua felt that the man looked somewhat different with the one who used to interact with her. It was as if this person in front of her was trying to keep his distance and merely showed his mask while the one who interacted with Nan Hua was someone who was instead trying to close his distance.

Huh?

Feeling that her thoughts were somewhat inappropriate, Nan Hua pushed it to the back. Her indifferent expression showed nothing of her real thoughts.

"I don't mind, Young Commander Long."
