Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



"Don't you want to interrupt them?" Shangguan Xiao asked as he walked towards Nan Luo. They had finished their short discussion about the tactics and now everyone was going on their own way.

"Adjutant Nan is smarter than me. He might have something important to talk with Young Master Long," Nan Luo answered flawlessly.

Shangguan Xiao arched his eyebrows. The willingness to admit one's weakness was one of the few good points that Nan Luo had. "I see. That man is being stingy and not willing to share important information again, huh?"

Nan Luo chose not to comment.

While he also wanted to diss Long Qian Xing, he knew that he had to maintain his basic courtesy when they were outside. At the very least, it was impossible for him to blatantly say bad things about Long Qian Xing to others.

Looking at the young man beside him who had purposely shut his mouth, Shangguan Xiao chuckled. "Are you afraid of Young Master Long?"

Nan Luo shook his head. Why should he be afraid of Long Qian Xing? He was just annoyed by Long Qian Xing and didn't want to see that person because he would always think about the fact that Long Qian Xing wanted to steal his sister.

It was not a good feeling to see someone who had design on his twin sister.

"Really?" Shangguan Xiao looked at Nan Luo curiously, but seeing that he was not able to make Nan Luo speak, he simply stated what he wanted to say before, "Come on, Young Master Long is needed by His Majesty."

"Ah?" Nan Luo was stunned.

At this time, Long Qian Xing had finished talking and saw Nan Luo and Shangguan Xiao standing not far from them. He excused himself and walked towards the two of them with Nan Hua following behind him.

Having to face the others, Long Qian Xing had to unwillingly let Nan Hua's hand go. There was no way he could possibly hold her hand in front of other people so blatantly or there would be many people questioning it.

For the nth time, Long Qian Xing felt that he didn't like the ancient world.

There were too many regulations and rules that one had to follow in order to be able to be categorized as normal. It was so hard for him to become himself and just do what he wanted in his own way. 

"What is it, Xiao?"

"His Majesty is looking for you." Shangguan Xiao and then glanced at Nan Luo. "And this young man is looking for his adjutant."

"I see." Long Qian Xing glanced at Nan Hua and flashed an apologetic smile. "We shall continue our discussion next time. I would like to hear more about your thoughts about General Duan later."

"It has been a pleasant conversation, Young Master Long." Nan Hua cupped her fist. "Thank you for your kind words."

Listening to their conversation, Nan Luo was speechless. The two of them finally have time together and what they were talking was about war?

Did he have some misconception about lover and relationship?

Why did he feel that it was not normal to be talking about war when they were talking with an ordinary woman?

Oh wait.

His twin sister is not an ordinary woman.

If talking about their knowledge and abilities alone, Nan Luo would be far behind his twin sister.

That felt somewhat painful.

"If you have something to share, why don't you talk with the others?" Shangguan Xiao was somewhat dissatisfied.

"I don't think that it's necessary for me to tell you." Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows.

"Tsk, you're really stingy," Shangguan Xiao couldn't help but comment.

Long Qian Xing only looked at Shangguan Xiao with the look 'come at me if you dare.' It was clear that he didn't really care about what Shangguan Xiao was thinking about him.

Shangguan Xiao sneered at Long Qian Xing's gesture.

It was said that the people who know you the best is your enemies. Long Qian Xing and Shangguan Xiao had been in extremely bad relationship with each other for a long period f time in the past.

At this moment, Shangguan Xiao naturally knew that Long Qian Xing was such an arrogant b*stard.

But this double faced person simply covered his behavior in front of other people.

He looked like a gentleman.

Nan Hua looked at the two of them and cupped her fist. "Young Master, I'm sorry that I take a long time. Adjutant Nan greets Second Young Master Shangguan."

"There's no need to be so polite with me." Shangguan Xiao glanced at Nan Hua. For some reason, he felt that the atmosphere around Long Qian Xing just now was wrong, but he didn't know the reason. In the end, he shook his head and bid his farewell. He still wanted to talk with other nobles who participated in this party.

Long Qian Xing also left to meet with Emperor Yang Zhou. While he didn't know why the other party was calling him, as the 'subject' he had to follow the other party's words.

Only Nan Luo and Nan Hua were left.

"Are you really talking about wars with him?"

"Yes." Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo with confusion. Was there anything wrong with her talking about it?

Nan Luo fell silent.

For some reason, he began to feel sorry for Long Qian Xing. Now that he knew Nan Hua's real identity, it was estimated that the two of them would have more talk about wars rather than have normal dates like in the past.

After all, the two of them also had position in the military and had thoughts about Fei Yang Kingdom's position. With the power behind them, it was simply impossible for them not to care about other forces.

But after a moment of mourning, he pushed all the sympathy he had.

In any case, he didn't want Long Qian Xing to be able to get his twin sister so easily. Hmph!
