Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Shu Cheng closed his eyes.

The image disappeared.

Looking at Nan Luo's disappearing back, Nan Shu Cheng furrowed his eyebrows. The twins indeed looked like each other. Not to mention, they took after their mother more than him. This always caused him to remember that woman whenever he looked at the two of them.

He didn't want to be reminded of the past continuously.

He hated her.

Nan Shu Cheng turned his head to look at the Feng siblings in front of them. They were his nephews, but he was not in the mood to talk with them.

His relationship with his sister was only lukewarm at best and naturally it extended to his nephews. They were not close to each other and Nan Shu Cheng was not in the mood to play the good family card.

Being treated coldly by the other party made him irked too.

"First Young Master Feng, Second Young Master Feng, I'll be taking my leave first. My son will be the one to accompany you."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Official Nan." Feng Ao Kuai cupped his fist.

Their way of greetings had already revealed the way they looked at him. It didn't need a genius to know that they didn't really put him in high regards. However, Nan Shu Cheng didn't say anything and merely leave.

Nan Shu Cheng didn't really like his nephews and didn't want to try to get close to them. Besides, these two would be spending most of their times at the battlefield, so they wouldn't meet with each other a lot either.

Thus, Nan Shu Cheng didn't care about them.

But it was different for the others in Nan Shu Cheng's Family.

At this time, Nan Hou Xiang was silently clenching his fist. He knew that the two people in front of him were two of the few acclaimed to be future generals. Right now, they were the famous young commanders in the battlefield.

Given enough time, they would be able to achieve more.

Nan Hou Xiang would be lying if he said that he was not jealous. But he didn't want to go to the battlefield. Considering his poor martial arts and the fact that his own half brother had beaten him up so badly back then, Nan Hou Xiang was not so stupid to think that he would have future in the battlefield.

However, he firmly believed that he would be able to achieve better than these two. It was just his path was traversed differently.

"Cousin Feng Ao Si, Cousin Feng Ao Kuai, it's been a while since I see the two of you." Nan Hou Xiang put on an amicable smile on his face.

Feng Ao Si looked at Nan Hou Xiang and furrowed his eyebrows. He felt that this so called cousin was more annoying than the adult just now. "Indeed, it's been a long time."

On the other hand, Feng Ao Kuai merely looked at Nan Hou Xiang indifferently.

Their attitude and cold voice had told Madam Qu and Nan Hou Xiang that they were not willing to get close to them. No matter how close they were to Nan Luo, they would not regard the others in the same way.

Madam Qu's body trembled slightly, but she knew that it would be unwise for her to interfere in the children's matter. If she were to get involved, even the smallest problem could escalate to cause a lot of problems. She had to take a step back and become the spectator this time.

It was vexing.

Nan Hou Xiang kept a polite smile. "I have heard that Cousin Feng Ao Si and Cousin Feng Ao Kuai performed really well in this battle. It wouldn't take long for you two have great achievement at the battlefield."

Everyone liked to hear praise. It was something Nan Hou Xiang had learned ever since he was young. Because of that, one of the few things he had to do when he wanted to get close to someone was to praise them.

Feng Ao Si didn't answer.

Instead, he was thinking of the harsh punishment that Old Master Nan gave to him because he still couldn't control his impulse to step forward on his own. It often gave trouble for his men to follow him. Without Dai to cover him up, it would have been impossible for him to become a proper 1000 men commander.

Now that he was promoted to be 2000 men commander… his hard work would only increase.

Old Master Nan had already given him the order to train at the frontline after he had finished this short break. Just recalling the fact that he had to train for a long period of time caused Feng Ao Si's knees to turn weak.

Feng Ao Kuai was already immune towards such praise. He had heard many kinds of them ever since he was young and naturally could guess what they wanted just from looking at them.

Compared to many other children, Feng Ao Kuai was the type who grew up earlier. He didn't really have much thoughts about his childhood being fun and all. What he remembered was the fact that he had to take care of his stupid older brother from the clutch of those old foxes.

Facing the young version of those old foxes such as Nan Hou Xiang only felt tasteless. Thus, he was not moved.

Nan Hou Xiang tried to say a few more things to the two of them.

But they ignored him.

This made Nan Hou Xiang feeling so frustrated that his small body was trembling. No matter how much he tried to become mature, he was a mere 13 years old boy who hadn't seen much of the world.

Feng Ao Si was annoyed and took a step back.

Seeing that his older brother might lose his temper soon, Feng Ao Kuai sighed internally. He looked at Nan Hou Xiang. "Second Young Master Nan, you keep on calling us as your cousins. However, this should only be the second time for us to properly meet and talk face to face?"
