Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 359 We’ll Meet Again (3)

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. "Saying farewell."

"That's all?"

"Mhm."

Looking at Nan Hua, Nan Luo was suspicious. However, he really couldn't figure out anything from the way Nan Hua acted.

Feng Ao Kuai was also confused this time and felt a bit displeased of himself. He had known Nan Hua for some time, and yet he still didn't know what caused Nan Hua to act a bit strangely.

He had been paying attention to her action but found nothing stand out.

Did he miss something?

"Fine." Nan Luo knew that Nan Hua would not say anything even if he were to ask 1001 questions to her. He turned his head to look at Feng Ao Si.

Seeing his gaze, Feng Ao Si really felt like he was in for trouble.

As expected Nan Luo pestered Feng Ao Si to have the last spar. In the end, the three children ended up sparring against Feng Ao Si one by one until the young man couldn't lift his hand again.

"Are you trying to get me killed?" Feng Ao Si was speechless.

"This is our present for you." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother and snorted. "Don't forget about us even when you roam around on the battlefield."

3 years.

For children like them, it was a long time. However, adults knew that three years would pass in a blink of an eye. They wouldn't realize it but then they ended up meeting with each other again and then felt that time moved really fast.

It just passed without them knowing it.

"I won't." Feng Ao Si rubbed his nose. He looked at his younger brother and cousins. "Get stronger and follow behind me. I'll make sure that you won't be disappointed to say that you know me."

Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Si. He sneered. "I'll make sure to surpass you within a year's time after I enter the battlefield."

"You won't be able to do that!"

"We shall see!"

The children going back and forth with each other. And when they went back to rest, it was already late at night.

Nan Hua looked into the sky for a moment then returned to her room.

She glanced at Xiao Yun, who had returned and bowed. "Miss, I have returned the item."

"Mhm. You can rest now."

"Yes, Miss."

Nan Hua walked into her room, acting as if there was nothing wrong. Outside the door, Xiao Yun was sighing in relief. Thankfully, the code was very covert and Xiao Yun herself had learned some martial arts to be able to protect Nan Hua. That allowed her to slip away undetected by anyone.

Before Long Qian Xing left the residence, Xiao Yun slipped the coat that he had borrowed out to Nan Hua back then. Nan Hua had been holding onto that coat for a long time, making Xiao Yun a bit nervous. Now, the coat was finally back in the hands of its owner.

…

Long Qian Xing walked out of Nan Family residence. His coat was kept hidden within his sleeve. His eyes shone in amusement as he thought of how nervous Xiao Yun was after receiving the code from Nan Hua.

"Young Master Long, how long are you planning to stay outside?"

When he heard the somewhat playful and provoking voice, Long Qian Xing's eyebrows arched. He walked into the carriage in front of him and entered without hesitation. There was a faint 'thud' before the night resumed its peace with the carriage started moving.

In front of Long Qian Xing, Lin Yuan the merchant was down on the carriage floor. It was unknown whether he was seriously injured or was only acting.

Long Qian Xing smiled faintly. "If you love the floor so much, I can make sure you stay there until you cross the border."

"Damn, you sure are ruthless." Lin Yuan had no other choice but to stand up and sat down once more. He looked at the youth in front of him, who was clearly in a much better mood after visiting Feng Family Residence. His eyes glinted in teasing light.

"I didn't expect Young Master Long to behave improperly."

"Improperly?" Long Qian Xing looked at Lin Yuan. "I suppose I should have reminded you of how many young noble ladies you have seduced even though you're still underage, Young Merchant Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan's face changed. He grunted. "I'm 18 years old. Is it that strange for ladies to fall for my charm?"

"And have you beaten up?"

Lin Yuan: "…" f*** you, don't remind me of those things!

Of course, Lin Yuan was not brave enough to actually curse in front of Long Qian Xing. While Long Qian Xing was a gentleman and someone with great self-control, he was also someone with pride. There wouldn't be any hesitation if Long Qian Xing wished to beat him up until he was bedridden for weeks.

Long Qian Xing put down the coat that Nan Hua's servant returned on the seat beside him. Almost instantly, Lin Yuan's eyes landed on that coat. He blinked his eyes. "Didn't you say that you lost this coat back then?"

"I found it again," Long Qian Xing answered carelessly.

Lin Yuan was speechless.

He would be the biggest idiot in the world if he believed Long Qian Xing. He then thought of the young lady from back then as a teasing smile formed on his lips. "I see~. That man said that you didn't like arranged marriage but it seems that you're not so repulsive of the arrangement now?"

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. Even though Lin Yuan didn't say any name, there was only one person who knew about his slight dissatisfaction over having a marriage agreement back then.

He smirked. "I was young and impulsive back then. It's not like I can fight this agreement either."

Can't fight?

Lin Yuan looked at Long Qian Xing suspiciously. Wasn't it possible to break the engagement as long as he achieved enough on the battlefield?

But of course, he was not stupid enough to mention that.

Long Qian Xing glanced out from the window, looking at the moon. The corner of his lips tugged even further, showing a brighter smile unconsciously.

"You'll come with me tomorrow. It's time to shake the battlefield."

"Uh…. Can I just go through a different way?"

"No."

Lin Yuan: "…" damn you! Stop saying heartless things when you're still smiling so brightly like that!
