Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 210 - Alright, I’ll Take You There



In the end, Old Madam Long came and engaged in another flurry of words battle with Old Master Nan. This time everyone tactfully leave so that they would not be the target of their grandfather when he finished his recovery. No one wanted to be the punching bag.

"Thank you for coming here, Young Master Long." Nan Luo was relieved when he saw that Old Madam Long still could move around frequently. He heard that her health was not good, so he was a bit worried whether she could come over or not.

Long Qian Xing smiled. "It's nothing much, First Young Master Nan. I'm glad that grandmother can be of help."

When he heard that Old Master Nan required his grandmother's help again, he simply barged into her room. Even though his grandmother ended up scolding him, he still dragged her over to take a look at Old Master Nan.

From the way these people acted, it was clear that they didn't want anyone to know Old Master Nan's real health. If only it was the previous emperor who was still reigning, there was possibility that Old Master Nan would have to comply with them.

"Thank you," Nan Hua said from the back.

"Silly girl, you don't have to thank me." Long Qian Xing chuckled.

"Young Master Long, are you going to leave me at the back and not introduce me?" behind Long Qian Xing stood a young man. The man was around 17 to 18 years old and looked handsome. Wearing lavish white robe, he looked rather frivolous. Well, he was indeed known to be a playboy merchant.

"Merchant Lin," Nan Hua greeted when she saw the man who came with Long Qian Xing. Merchant Lin, Lin Yuan, has been staying with Long Qian Xing for some time now. It seemed that he was also trying to make sure that he could have firm foundation in the Capital City.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "Lin Yuan, I heard that the business hasn't been going well?"

In other words: scram.

Lin Yuan acted as if he didn't understand the underlying meaning as he grinned. "My good younger brother, are you going to kick your older brother away? I'm here to help you deliver the necessary herbs."

Long Qian Xing's face darkened when he heard Lin Yuan's remark. However, his smile turned even warmer. "Is that so, in that case I have to thank you properly later when we got back, Merchant Lin."

At this moment, Lin Yuan's back turned stiff. He naturally knew that the smile Long Qian Xing gave him was one that signified his brutal end at home later on. After staying in Long Family Residence for a long time, he had been beaten up brutally by Long Qian Xing with the wooden sword.

…Thankfully it was not a real sword since it would mean he would have died a thousand times over.

"Thank you for the herbs, Merchant Lin." Nan Hua naturally didn't know what fate would befall Merchant Lin later. She only knew that he helped to gather the necessary herbs. As a merchant, he had quite a lot of connection.

Despite being at the lowest of social strata, Lin Yuan was enjoying a lavish life. For him, honor and whatsoever didn't matter. After all, he still could get a lot of money from working a lot and lived quite a good life.

It might be hard for him to get a wife but it was a problem for another time.

"I'm going to the back first." Feng Ao Si stretched his arms. "If Grandfather looked for me, tell him that I'm in important time of my training."

The others: "…" just say that you want to avoid him.

Nan Luo nodded. "I'm going with Cousin Ao Si… Cousin Ao Kuai, please take care of my sister."

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He glanced at Long Qian Xing then at Nan Luo before realizing what Nan Luo was implying to him. But… was it necessary to worry about this matter so early? He wouldn't dare to kidnap his cousin in broad daylight, right?

"Merchant Lin, may I ask what herbs you bring this time?" Nan Hua asked.

Lin Yuan turned to look at Nan Hua before averting his eyes. Men were not allowed to look directly at a lady… except their wife of course. And his status as a merchant only put him at even lower status.

"Yes, of course, Miss Nan. This time, I bring…."

Listening to the row of words that Lin Yuan said, Nan Hua thought of her grandfather's illness. Old Madam Long had said that it would only alleviate him but not curing him completely. In that case, was her grandfather's illness incurable?

Long Qian Xing noticed Nan Hua's expression. "Hua'er, you don't have to worry about Grandfather. He'll surely recover."

At the side, Feng Ao Kuai's eyelids twitched at the way Long Qian Xing addressed his grandfather as. He glared at the other party, determining that he should never ever let this man get close to his younger cousin.

For some reason, even he felt that this man might even kidnap her.

"I don't know much about medicine." Lin Yuan scratched the back of his head. "However, Madam Long had an acquaintance who's good at medicine. He's a traveling doctor and coincidentally, he's staying in the Capital City for the time being. If you would like, I can introduce you to him."

Traveling doctor?

It can't be.

Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Kuai. "Cousin Ao Kuai, I would like to get out for a moment. Tell Grandfather to not worry about me."

"Hua'er, it might be dangerous." Feng Ao Kuai frowned.

"Brother Long is with me, so it'll be fine."

Feng Ao Kuai really wanted to say that the most dangerous person was this man. But seeing Nan Hua's determined gaze, he really couldn't bring himself to say it. Since she wanted to go, how could he possibly stop her?

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. Did he ever say that he would accompany her?

"Alright, you have to be careful."

"Merchant Lin, Brother Long, can you take me there?" Nan Hua asked in a soft tone. Even though her expression was still as stiff as ever, her gaze could easily melt one's heart.

Long Qian Xing raised his hand and patted her head.. "Alright, since you want to go there, I'll bring you."
