Chapter 1593 Old Master Nan’s Past

New lineage.

From Old Master Nan’s words, Nan Hua knew that Nan Family must have been very powerful in the past but declined because the others were leaving to Wei Da Kingdom.

“Grandfather, you didn’t leave?”

“Yes.” Old Master Nan tapped the armrest rhythmically. “I was still very young at that time, but I don’t want to leave Fei Yang Kingdom. I was closer to my uncle than to my parents because they didn’t care too much about me after having so many children.”

While having a lot of children is a blessing, but there was a limit to how much a person could take care of their family. Asking one person to divide their attention to many children all at once was simply impossible.

When Old Master Nan was young, he spent most of his time with his uncle, who was also an aspiring soldier at that time.

It was also due to this matter that he had conflict with his family. 

“After a war in which Fei Yang Kingdom lost badly, Nan Family had conflicts inside. There are many people who feel that Fei Yang Kingdom is doomed.” Old Master Nan shook his head.

A young emperor along with the series of losses that Fei Yang Kingdom experienced, it was more than enough to make those with weak heart waver.

Most people wished for stability.

They would not want to live in worry because of many uncertainties and possibly getting themselves and their family killed in war. There were many people in Nan Family and the elders were wavering.

For many years, they had stayed in Fei Yang Kingdom.

But if Fei Yang Kingdom started to show the sign of falling, would they be able to stay firm and defend their kingdom or defect to another kingdom?

Old Master Nan closed his eyes.

Facts have proven that not everyone were able to withstand the pressure of uncertainties. They would rather give up their place rather than betting on their lives on whether they would be able to survive or not.

The businesses were sold and they all departed.

But his uncle was stubborn. He was already a soldier and achieved merit on the battlefield. Seeing his family leaving, he refused to leave and would rather stay behind in order to fight for Fei Yang Kingdom.

“My uncle didn’t think that way. He believed that as long as we did something, we will be able to protect our homeland.” Old Master Nan glanced at Nan Hua and smiled faintly. “he trusted the Emperor and the people who worked above to be able to defend Fei Yang Kingdom.”

Nan Hua was silent.

The real situation on the frontline and the overall picture was not something that Old Master Nan’s uncle could possibly know. Even if Old Master Nan didn’t tell her, she could guess that his position in the military was not very high.

At most, it might be 1000 men soldiers.

At that time, there were still many uncertainties about his future and about the future of his kingdom.

“If he didn’t leave, once Fei Yang Kingdom falls, he will definitely die.” Old Master Nan continued. “But he’s also a very stubborn person who would rather bet with his life rather than tucking his tail and go like a coward.”

Old Master Nan closed his eyes. “That day, he gave passionate speech for us to fight for Fei Yang Kingdom. I was around 8 to 9 years old and still didn’t understand many things. But at that time, I could see the soldiers roaring under his command, bravely shouting that they will defend their land until the very end.”

It was the first time in Old Master Nan’s life that he saw the real battlefield for the first time. He was still young and didn’t understand many things, but he was not a stupid person and knew that they were fighting for the sake of the people around him.

And it was also because of his uncle that Old Master Nan decided to stay behind.

“I pleaded to my parents to stay, but they rebuke and reprimanded me, saying that Fei Yang Kingdom is not safe and I have to leave with them. My siblings are all ready to leave. Some of them already have families and their wives also have mixed opinions.” 

Old Master Nan’s hand trembled a bit. “After I failed to persuade them, I ran to my uncle. At first, he told me to listen to my parents because it’s not easy for a child to live by himself. But I’m also a stubborn fools and said to him to adopt me and let me stay with him. I want to fight on the battlefield just like him.”

Hearing a child barely 8 to 9 years old saying such words, it was estimated that normal adults wouldn’t want to listen to them. Old Master Nan’s uncle was also the same and unwilling to let Old Master Nan suffer with him.

He was not married and busy on the frontline all day long.

Where would he have the time to care for Old Master Nan?

At that time, he just wished for his nephew to grow up safely, but in the end Old Master Nan won in his stubborn ways.

“My parents told me to never contact them and severed their relationship with me out of anger when I told them that I’ll be staying with my uncle.” Old Master Nan looked at Nan Hua. “I’m sure you know the heavy meaning behind this words.”

Nan Hua looked at Old Master Nan and nodded.

lightsnοvεl Filial piety was highly respected.

For a child to be abandoned by their parents, it must be an unimaginable pain. Nan Hua was not sure about Old Master Nan’s relationship with his parents, but it must have been very painful to be told like that.

Nan Hua stretched her hand and grabbed Old Master Nan’s aged hand. The hands were full of wrinkles, no longer full of power like when he was young. But he still gripped Nan Hua’s hand firmly.
