Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

At the same time, he lost his promotion chance that was already delayed before. Even now, his position continued to remain the same no matter how much work he did. Thus, his temper in the residence grew worse.

But of course, Nan Hua and Nan Luo didn't care about him at all.

Even if he were to destroy his entire residence, the two of them would simply look from a distance, watching whatever he was doing without any interest.

They were happy with their lives in their residence. Even if training and studying was tiring, it was much better than having to face such an annoying man.

"It's already nearing the end of Summer. Grandpa had left for four to five months. When will he return?" Nan Luo asked sullenly. He wanted to meet with his grandfather again but it has been so long and yet the man hadn't returned yet.

"The rebellions had failed and Old Master will return soon," Steward Tong replied with a smile to the young master.

Nan Luo grunted. "That's what you say not long ago. Not to mention, we're not even allowed to go out if it's not for me going to the academy."

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother but didn't mind the fact that she couldn't come out at all. She had been in this world for around a year and her body had grown much stronger than it was. Though, she still thought that it would be good for her to continue to train.

This strength of hers still couldn't contend against those who were naturally more powerful. Though, she had never lost against her twin brother again. Nan Luo had been quite depressed about it, so he had been challenging many other students just to be able to gain his confidence back.

If he continued to be defeated, wouldn't he feel so depressed?

"Can I visit Long Family Residence?" Nan Hua asked in low tone. She had received several invitations from Old Madam Long but the answer from Stewards Tong has always been the same.

"Young Miss should wait for Old Master to return first."

Nan Luo pursed his lips. "Why do you even want to visit the Long Family Residence? Old Madam Long is not really doing anything lately, right?"

"She's resting."

"Oh yeah, I heard that her sickness has gotten worse. I wonder whether General Long will return or not," Nan Luo commented.

Nan Hua shook her head. It was impossible for General Long to return from the frontline. He was still very busy because of war there and it was unlikely for him to return anytime soon.

Besides… war will break out soon and the stability of the border was already compromised.

Hmm, Princess Yue would be married away next year and it would also start the temporary agreement. After that, Fei Yang Kingdom would strike first to gain an advantage in territory.

There were several kingdoms in the mainland and Fei Yang Kingdom was one of them who was aiming for supremacy.

Nan Hua put down the thoughts.

Even if she knew the current states of the other kingdoms and the war that would happen, she was still not qualified to participate nor affect even a single one of them. Her current identity would not allow her to interfere in the slightest bit.

She had to wait and prepare herself for now.

"Hua'er, what are you thinking?" Nan Luo noticed that Nan Hua seemed as if she was in deep thoughts and couldn't help but ask.

Nan Hua shook her head. "Grandfather will return soon. I would like to ask him something."

"What is it?"

"How to meet with formal officials."

Nan Luo blinked his eyes. "If you're saying that you want to meet with high ranking officials, Grandfather can actually invite them here. However, if there's no important matter, you can be seen as colluding with each other."

Though, if it was just a gathering of old men, it was usually for playing around. The generals often visited each other's residence to play, drink wine, and chatted with each other. It was something that Nan Hua knew based on the history lesson that she had.

But if the one whom Old Master Nan was a high ranked official, that would be a completely different story. They might be speculating whether there was something that they were planning.

It was especially true if the two people were not close to each other.

"Low ranked official." Nan Hua pursed her lips. She was not ready to get involved in the officials' matter too deeply to bring herself to meet with those high ranked one. What she wanted was just to meet with some lower ranked ones.

Specifically, Zhang Dan Shui.

However, she wanted to keep this matter from Nan Luo for the time being.

Nan Luo blinked his eyes. "In that case, you can actually meet them in the academy. Some lower ranked officials have to do errands and visited the academy from time to time. If you're lucky, you might be able to meet them."

"Steward Tong, can I…"

"Young Miss, please stay obediently in the residence." Steward Tong was smiling but he felt beads of sweat on his back. He felt that the two children were really trying to make him dig his own grave.

If the Old Master knew that the two children were playing around in the academy, what would happen?

Ahhh…. He really wished that the Old Master could return and control these two troublemaker. ????????????????e????????. ????૦????

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. Fine, she would wait until her grandfather returned. But if he were to return in Winter, she had no other choice but to sneak out to visit Heng Xing City in the future. As for herbs…

There were some nearby that she could use.

The twins were about to return to their training when a servant came out from outside. He walked towards Steward Tong and said something before retreated. However, his delighted expression didn't escape the twin's eyes.

They knew something must have happened.
