Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 609 Departure to the Capital City

　　The question caused Old Master Nan to be taken aback. He didn't expect that his little granddaughter would actually answer his question by asking another question. Though, it was indeed something that he need to consider.

　　"I don't know." Old Master Nan sighed. "I want to stay at the battlefield to protect you, your brother, and your cousins. But at the same time, I feel that it's no longer my stage to stay there."

　　His old friends were already gone. Most of them were no longer in this world and even those who were still around had retired. Only very few of them still wielded their weapon and went on a rampage at the battlefield.

　　For them, their only retirement was when they finally died.

　　Nan Hua looked at her grandfather then lowered her gaze. "As long as Grandfather rest properly for the next few weeks, you will be able to make full recovery. At that time, it's not impossible for you to return to the battlefield like the last battle."

　　In other words: it's possible.

　　Old Master Nan thought for a moment and then nodded. "Thank you, Hua'er."

　　"I didn't do anything."

　　In Nan Hua's opinion, her little skill was not worth that much. If there were better doctors present at that time, she would not have been the one to operate on her grandfather. Still, she just wanted her grandfather to stay healthy.

　　Want…

　　The urge to keep her grandfather safe was very strong inside Nan Hua's body. It has been a long time since she had such strong feeling. She couldn't even remember when the last time she had such feeling of wanting something like a little kid anymore.

　　"Grandfather, please rest."

　　"You should rest too, Hua'er. It must have been a long journey from Han Zhong City."

　　"Yes, Grandfather."

　　Nan Hua put on the silver mask once more before departing. Her body moved swiftly and soon couldn't be seen anymore. It was as if she had perfectly blended with the darkness, concealing even the slightest bit of presence that she might emit out.

　　Old Master Nan looked at his leg and sighed.

　　There were many thoughts inside his mind.

　　…

　　Nan Luo was excited when he saw Nan Hua appeared beside Xiao Yan when he came out of his small quarter.

　　"Nan! Did you finish whatever you're tasked to do?" Nan Luo asked excitedly.

　　Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo and felt that he was too enthusiastic. Anyone who saw him would wonder just who this 'Nan' is to make the young master acted that way. She really didn't like to attract attention.

　　"Yes, Young Master."

　　"That's good to see you're still healthy." Nan Luo grinned. "Grandfather taught us some things before we're leaving the Wind City when you're still busy with the task. Well, he didn't teach us personally, but…."

　　As Nan Luo walked to the carriage, he kept on chatting about the things that Nan Hua had missed. It was as if he wished that Nan Hua could be there and experienced everything by herself. At the same time, he was telling her about things that had happened during the few months they were separated.

　　It would take a long time for him to tell everything, though. He had no other choice but to stop when they reach the carriage.

　　"Are we going to use personal carriage?" Nan Luo asked when he saw the long row of carriages.

　　"I'm going to play Go with Si Kang." Feng Ao Kuai glanced in Nan Hua's direction. He actually wanted to talk more with Nan Hua and possibly discuss about some other matters. But it didn't seem to be appropriate.

　　Besides, he didn't have much to talk.

　　Yesterday, he had visited his mother with Feng Ao Si and he didn't really talk that much. He was simply glad that his mother was fine and didn't seem to be lacking in anything in Heng Xing City.

　　While he wanted to say that he was Nan Hua's right hand, he knew that Nan Luo's position in Nan Hua's heart was still higher. Nan Luo is Nan Hua's twin brother and the two would definitely need some time to talk and catch up.

　　"I…" Feng Ao Si looked at Dai but didn't know what to say. Even Dai didn't try to help because he had long felt hopeless of this young master in front of him. If not because of Feng Ao Si's strength that was far above ordinary people, he would have long died because of his rusty brain.

　　"We're already a commander of our own army. Isn't it better for our images to use a personal carriage when we enter the Capital City?" Feng Ao Kuai added after noticing that his older brother was not of much help.

　　"Yes! Yes! That's true."

　　Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Si speechlessly.

　　He felt that Feng Ao Si would just agree with whatever Feng Ao Kuai said. Whatever, the reason didn't matter. He just wanted to stay in the same carriage as Nan Hua so that he could talk more with her. There were a lot of things that he wanted to say!

　　"Servants are normally not riding the same carriages with their commander." Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo. "And it's more normal for commanders to ride horse rather than riding carriages when they depart or returning."

　　The other three were speechless.

　　Well…

　　That was also true.

　　However, the three of them were already tortured by the long journey and also the numerous information that they had to digest on their way to Heng Xing City. Did they really have to ride horse when they came back too?

　　It was so tiring!

　　Looking at the aggrieved expression of the three young masters, Xiao Yan was trying his best not to laugh. He knew very well that Nan Luo was anticipating to chat more with Nan Hua. As for Feng Ao Kuai, he had lower physical strength and durability compared to the others, so he would really need that carriage.

　　Only Feng Ao Si would be rather fine. Though, he might feel aggrieved because his horse riding skill…. Could still end up getting haywire from time to time.
