Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 85 - [Bonus ]It’s Getting Livelier (3)



Nan Hua nodded. Anyone who was staying in the Imperial Palace would surely learn how to insert knives in their words. Shangguan Die, who was also part of the noble family, would surely learn it from the household where she was staying. Shangguan Family was a big family, one with countless ladies inside it, fighting for who knows how long every single day.

There were no other ways for her to be able to be this sharp unless she had been practicing how to throw daggers to each other.

"Hua'er, Nan Family is not any better. Mother also has to face it a lot and when we depart to the battlefield, you might have to stay behind." Nan Luo's tone sounded worried. He came here because two reasons.

One, to have fun.

Two, to warn Nan Hua because the Nan Family was not any different. Should they return to Nan Shu Cheng's residence, Nan Hua would have to face these kind of things nearly every single day.

Nan Luo didn't want it.

If possible, he would have long wanted to bring Nan Hua to stay with him all the time so that she would not suffer in the slightest bit. However, it was not possible. So he could only warn Nan Hua about this by showing this show of another family.

With their martial skill, they wouldn't be found out easily as long as they kept their distance.

"I know."

"That's why, Hua'er had to be careful. There are a lot of people who would want to take advantage of you." Nan Luo was firm in this matter.

Nan Hua was very pretty. Even though right now, Nan Hua was only 9 years old, but her countenance had already showed that when she grew up, she would be a peerless beauty that would not lose against Shangguan Die.

Beauty could be catastrophic.

Nan Luo knew this, which was why he was so worried that something bad would happen to Nan Hua if they returned.

"I'll be careful."

Looking at her twin brother, Nan Hua raised her hand and patted his head. Rather than worrying about herself, she thought that the one who was more likely to get into trouble would be her twin brother.

He was more reckless than her and naturally, it meant that he might get into trouble easier than her.

"You have to be careful too, Luo."

"Don't worry! I know how to take care of myself." Nan Luo grinned and patted his chest.

His gesture… was unconvincing, though.

"What's Shangguan Family relationship with Nan Family?" Nan Hua asked. She didn't have much memory about the relationship between the two families. Since Shangguan Family was also of general family, they might need to cooperate in the battlefield.

"I don't know about Grandpa." Nan Luo scratched the back of his head. "As for me, I beat up their younger members in the academy a few times. They're a bit infuriating and annoying to talk with."

Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo and nodded. Since even Shangguan Die was so arrogant and tried to challenge the princess, she could imagine that the other members might not be that good in their conduct.

Either way, it didn't look like the Shangguan Family had good relationship with Nan Family.

The twins watched again.

In the end, Shangguan Die clearly couldn't challenge the Imperial Family's authority. There was an iron rule that had to be followed by everyone who lived in the entire land. Imperial Family's authority shouldn't be challenged.

If they dared to do so, they would die.

The authority of the Imperial Family was not as simple as someone who had slightly higher power but one that rule everyone beneath them.

"Let's go back." Nan Hua tugged Nan Luo's sleeve.

"Ok!"

The twins slipped away after they had enough watching the group.

Not far from them, Hou Liang watched in silence. He naturally heard all of their conversation even though Nan Luo didn't seem to realize that he was staying near them. Glancing at the Shangguan Family and the Imperial Family, he knew that the twins would have no other choice but to interact with them.

Wait, not the twins, Nan Hua was the one who most likely would interact with them.

After all, they were going to stay in the temple for a long time. And being a noble lady, Nan Hua wouldn't be able to avoid having to interact with those with similar position as hers.

'Hopefully, there wouldn't be any trouble.'

Time passed swiftly.

For the first few days, there were several people who came and Nan Luo had no other choice but to greet some of them. Nan Hua also greeted them briefly before returning to her room to read.

Seeing the number of scriptures that Nan Hua had read, Nan Luo starting to suspect that her sister wanted to become a nun.

Thankfully, Nan Hua said no.

On the other hand, Nan Luo spend most of his time training with Hou Liang. He was mostly practicing in the quarter and since the other boys also spend their time training, he didn't stand out too much. The other young masters also used their time to either copying scripture or training martial arts.

The only problem was their meal….

"There's no meat again?" Nan Luo asked with pained expression when the servants told him that it was already time to eat.

Xiao Yan smiled stiffly. "Young Master, how about if you hunt by yourself? The monks would not prepare meat at all."

Their diet only consisted of vegetables.

Nan Luo looked at the sky and groaned lightly. He did want to hunt but he couldn't possibly leave Nan Hua behind. But if the two of them were to leave together, it might cause trouble.

Just as he was contemplating, another servant came to him. "Young Master, Second Young Master Nan and Second Young Miss Nan had come."

Nan Hou Xiang and Nan Xin?

Nan Luo looked at the servants coldly. "What are they doing here? No, what do they want by coming here?"
