Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Guard Zhang was more detailed now than when Nan Hua first asked him. It might be because most of the enemies were already gone from Heng Xing City and no longer caused him any trouble.

In any case, Nan Luo listened to his stories intently.

Old Master Nan didn't let him stay for long, though. After around an incense stick of time, he dragged his grandson with the other two following behind him.

"What do you think of his story?" Old Master Nan asked.

"It's good, but there are parts that seem to be a bit hard to believe." Nan Luo scratched the back of his head.

"Half of what he said is lies." Feng Ao Kuai glanced at Nan Luo. "There are some things that didn't match with Nan Luo's training schedule."

Nan Luo was speechless.

He turned to look at his cousin as if asking how much Feng Ao Kuai knew about his schedule to the point that he could still remember until this time. At that time, Feng Ao Kuai was not even in the Capital City, right?

"He might forget a bit."

"The bit of differences is what make a person lies." Feng Ao Kuai was still as calm as before. He looked at Old Master Nan. "Grandpa, do you already know about it before?"

"He did have a lot of secret." Old Master Nan laughed. "But who among us didn't have any secret? Anyway, he'll be staying here for the time being. Next year, I'll send him to the frontline along with the army."

"Ah?"

"He'll join the army?"

"As ordinary soldier." Old Master Nan turned to look at Nan Hua. "He'll be under your care, Nan."

"Yes."

Nan Hua was silent all this time, but she was actually observing Guard Zhang. Compared to when she first saw him, she could see that he had indeed grown healthier. But the rate was different than what she expected to.

That was why there was somethings that she thought strange.

But since Guard Zhang hadn't done anything yet, Nan Hua would not try to make trouble for him either. At the very least, he used to protect her mother back when the two children were still in Nan Family Residence.

"I'm going to see Nan Si Qiao. Come with me brats."

"Yes, Grandfather,"

The three of them followed Old Master Nan to the residence. They could see Nan Si Qiao was holding Feng Ao Qian in her arm. The little boy had grown a bit more and looked a bit plumper than before.

Old Master Nan looked at the young brat. "Why do I feel that he's getting fatter?"

Nan Si Qiao was speechless.

"It's normal for babies to be plump," Nan Si Qiao protested. She then veered her eyes towards her son and nephew. A smile formed on her lips. "You two are finally back. I thought that I'll never see you two again."

Seeing the smile on Nan Si Qiao's face, Feng Ao Kuai immediately guessed that the guards here prevented any news about Nan Hua to reach Nan Si Qiao's ear. It might be because he knew that how much his mother cared for her niece.

At the same time, Nan Hua couldn't let the fact that she's still alive reach Nan Si Qiao's ear for the time being.

Thus, the pieces of news were simply blocked.

As for until when, it was still uncertain for the time being.

"Mother, I'll be going again soon," Feng Ao Kuai reported calmly.

Nan Si Qiao looked at her son and felt speechless too. She knew how mature Feng Ao Kuai was, but she was really feeling that her son should have been more childish. Now that Feng Ao Kuai had turned 15, Nan Si Qiao could see that the boy was slowly growing into a fine young man.

"You can't even stay for lunch?" Nan Si Qiao was sad.

"No, Mother."

"Fine. But make sure that you take care of yourself well. You too, Ah Luo."

"Yes, Aunt."

Feng Ao Kuai looked at his younger brother and patted the latter's head. He knew very well that it would be impossible for him to stay close with his younger brother. At the very least, within the next few years, he wouldn't be able to see the young boy at all.

Well, he's just his brother.

It was not strange for siblings not to be so close, especially when their age gap was so big that it was hard for them to meet each other.

Old Master Nan then went to rest and told the two of them to head back as soon as possible. On the other hand, Nan Si Qiao showed the quarter that was designed for both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai.

The two of them paid a short visit to take a look at the place.

"We're still side by side." Nan Luo sighed when he saw the two quarters were located side by side. It seemed that no matter where he was, he would always be associated with Feng Ao Kuai.

Even their quarter was so close to each other.

Feng Ao Kuai snorted. "At the very least, it's very quiet here."

"Mhm, true."

There were no guards or anything nearby. It seemed that Old Master Nan had arranged it for them.

The two of them turned to look at Nan Hua behind them.

"Nan, will you follow me?" Nan Luo asked.

"Not yet." Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. There were still some problems for her to settle in Xia Mountain. Now that she was no longer tied to her identities too much, it was time for her to settle the problem there.

"I see." Nan Luo was a bit disappointed. Then he thought about something else. "Right, if you're going to stay there, are you going by the name 'Nan?'"

That name would definitely associate Nan Hua with the Nan Family.

"No."

"Then…"

"I'll be going by the name Jun Hua."
