Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



But then again, it was good that Xiao Que Mao didn't try to push them for anything and only chatted for information.

'Xiao Family, huh?'

While Xiao Qiang, Empress Xiao, did help Nan Hua, those help was basically negligible. The relationship between Xiao Family and Nan Family was not close and could only be acquaintance at best.

Besides, their pursuit in life were completely different.

Nan Family focused on military and would stay at the frontline or other battlefield most of the time. Xiao Family was a scholar family and most of their family members were officials, including Xiao Que Mao.

They wouldn't interact with each other that much.

At this moment, Steward Tou came and bowed. "Young Master, Young Commander Mu and Fourth Miss Mu is here to pay a visit."

"Young Commander Mu?" Nan Luo was dumbfounded. What in the world that Mu Sheng Xi want to come here today?

No, in the first place, he didn't remember that Mu Sheng Xi was part of their army when they first headed to Yi City in this battle. Did he come here afterwards because of some matter related to Mu Family?

Ever since General Mu retired, the army under him was under General Cao. Perhaps Mu Sheng Xi came here because they were also here?

Also, who's Fourth Miss Mu?

Xiao Que Mao's eyes flashed when he heard that. He cupped his fist. "Since First Young Master Nan had other guest, this one will bid his farewell first. I hope that we can talk again in the future, First Young Master Nan."

"It has been a pleasant talk." Nan Luo kept a polite smile. "Thank you for your invitation, Second Young Master Xiao."

After a few more polite words, Xiao Que Mao walked to the gate. On the way, he could see Mu Sheng Xi walked with a young girl following behind him. He cupped his hand in greetings and then left.

Mu Sheng Xi frowned when he saw Xiao Que Mao but then again, there were a lot of influential families in Fei Yang Kingdom. He couldn't possibly remember all of them and interact with them.

"Second Cousin, who is he?" Fourth Miss Mu, Mu Fei Jiao, asked curiously.

"He should be another official who come to compete for the position in Yi City." Mu Sheng Xi frowned. "Also, I'm not your second cousin."

"I don't want to recognize the others who had passed away. Since you're the second oldest after your older brother, I will naturally call you as Second Cousin." Mu Fei Jiu stuck out her tongue playfully.

Mu Sheng Xi looked at his playful cousin and felt helpless. Whenever he was interacting with Mu Fei Jiu, he always felt that he was interacting with a little kid. This made him rather helpless, but he loved this playful and cheerful cousin of his.

While she was coquettish and playful, she was not annoying.

It was really hard to describe.

The two of them were brought to the garden and Mu Sheng Xi saw Nan Luo. He cupped his fist. "Young Commander Mu, Mu Sheng Xi, greets Young Commander Nan."

"Young Commander Nan, Nan Luo, greets Young Commander Mu." Nan Luo quickly followed suit. He was the one at lower rank, so normally he was the one who should greet Mu Sheng Xi first.

Looking at the young commander in front of him, Nan Luo was a bit perplexed. After all, he was not close to Mu Sheng Xi in the slightest bit. "May I ask what brings Young Commander Mu to this humble residence?"

"I come here under the order of my father to deliver a letter to Great General Nan." Mu Sheng Xi sighed deeply. "At the same time, I hope that you can grant my request to have a light spar with you, Young Master Nan."

"A spar is fine." Nan Luo also knew that Mu Sheng Xi was considered as quite a good young commander on the battlefield. If he could have a light spar, he might be able to figure out his weakness and have some exercise.

That would be pretty nice.

Mu Sheng Xi nodded. He looked around. "My fourth cousin is here with me because she's curious about her engagement with your cousin. May I ask if Second Young Commander Feng is here?"

Second Young Commander Feng…

Feng Ao Kuai?

Nan Luo was dumbstruck and he inevitably looked in Mu Fei Jiu's direction for a moment before looking away again. While he heard that Old Master Nan wanted to arrange a marriage with someone from Mu Family, he was not entirely clear about that. Now that Mu Sheng Xi had said that, this girl will be his cousin in law?

Why didn't he hear both his grandfather and Feng Ao Kuai mentioned the matter to him?

When he met Feng Ao Kuai again, he will personally interrogate the other party. When did his marriage matter decided?

"Feng Ao… I mean Second Young Commander Feng is in San City." Nan Luo tried to compose himself. "I haven't heard about this matter at all, my apologies for my response."

He knew that he was somewhat impolite for not reacting right away. But he was truly surprised that his cousin was already talking about marriage while he seemed to be still far away from it.

But then again, Feng Ao Kuai was already 18 years old. There were only two years left before he turned 20 and eligible for marriage. Finding a marriage partner first should be fine.

As for Feng Ao Si?

Forget him.

He should learn how to grow up properly before finding a marriage partner or his marriage life would be in shambles. Nan Luo couldn't bear to even look at it. Though, they did plan to see the candidate soon…

"The matter hadn't been fully decided but their parents have talked about it a few times." Mu Sheng Xi shrugged.

"I see." Nan Luo thought for a moment. "Does Fourth Miss Mu had opinion?"

"There's no need to worry, my cousin had no opinion on this matter," Mu Sheng Xi quickly reassured.
