Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1592 Nan Hua and Old Master Nan’s Conversation (3)

Being able to see Nan Hua's growth made Old Master Nan feel happy too. He hoped his grandchildren would be able to grow up safely and freely, doing what they wanted instead of being forced to do things they didn't want. 

"If you have any difficulties, just know that you have me behind you!" Old Master Nan patted his chest confidently.

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and her eyes flickered in amusement. Her grandfather seemed really confident and she's glad that he was standing by her side.

Old Master Nan thought about something else. "I was planning on telling this to you a long time ago, but there hasn't been any chance. Have you encountered people from Nan Family during your time in Central Area or in Zhang Xu Kingdom?"

Nan Family?

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

It was then she recalled that Old Master Nan promised her to tell more about Nan Family's past after New Year. But because of the war with Zhang Xu Kingdom, the time when she could reunite with Old Master Nan was limited.

Not to mention, there was also the brief period when Feng Ao Si got married, but Old Master Nan was dragged back to the frontline because of his position and the necessary matter.

"No, not a single one of them come to me." 

Nan Hua didn't know about her twin brother, though. She was sure that Nan Luo would not tell her even if this kind of thing happened to him.

Old Master Nan showed a faint smile. "They should not know your existences, but they come to me."

The moment Old Master Nan finished speaking that one sentence, Nan Hua's eyes flashed with coldness.

In this world, the few people whom she cared so much were Old Master Nan, Nan Luo, Old Madam Long, Traveling Doctor Liu, and Long Qian Xing. If someone were to disturb and harm either one of them, they have successfully stepped on Nan Hua's inverse scale.

She will not let them off.

Old Master Nan saw Nan Hua's expression and waved his hand. "I kicked them off after they tried to get close to me shamelessly. I didn't tell you for you to come and trouble them, but so that you can be careful and not let them get close to you carelessly."

Nan Hua lowered her eyes for a moment, repressing the killing intent that was about to overflow.

"I know, Grandfather."

Old Master Nan smiled faintly and looked into the distance. "I don't know if you know about this, but I have several siblings in the past."

Nan Hua looked at Old Master Nan and knew that he wanted to start telling stories, so she quietly waited at the side. Whatever he wanted to say, she would be here to be the good listener.

Thinking about the past, Old Master Nan felt a faint heartache.

"During the early years of Emperor Huan, the situation is very unstable. There are wars everywhere and the territory of Fei Yang Kingdom is much smaller than the others. Perhaps, it could be said that their territory is the smallest."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

Because of the war and separation, Fei Yang Kingdom did suffer many years ago. In the early warring era, Fei Yang Kingdom was by no means the strong ones. Instead, it was Shi Long Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom who were at the forefront and clashed heavily.

The others looked more like a foil.

But because of many conflicts and some other things, the kingdoms eventually separated into six different kingdoms.

"I was born in Fei Yang Kingdom." Old Master Nan chuckled. "The Nan Family had a lot of people and we're all native from Fei Yang Kingdom. But because of the current situation at that time, not many people are optimistic about the new Emperor."

Old Master Nan glanced at Nan Hua. "Do you know that Emperor Huan become Emperor when he's still a teenager?"

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and nodded her head.

She knew about this. 

When Emperor Huan first ascended to the throne, he was not yet 22 years old, lacking around a year or two. But he gathered the power in the court and then proceeded to the battlefield. Leading the soldiers on his own, he created miracles after miracles, pushing the other kingdoms' border further and further away.

Eventually, he allowed Fei Yang Kingdom to be able to stand side by side with the other two powerful kingdoms, Zhang Xu Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom.

But this alone was not enough.

Emperor Huan's ambition was for him to conquer the other kingdoms and made Fei Yang Kingdom the only kingdom that existed in this land. Unfortunately, even after he was reaching the end of his life, he couldn't fulfill this dream.

He had made a lot of preparation, but time was not kind enough to him.

He fought for decades and finally fell short before he could see the fruit of his hard work in order to achieve his dream.

This dream was carried on by Emperor Yang Zhou.

"Nan Family didn't trust Emperor Huan at that time." Old Master Nan felt like mocking his family members when he thought about this matter. At that time his parents quarreled with each other because of their concern about safety and many others.

The young him barely understood anything, but he had good memory and could still remember the content of the conversation at that time.

As he grew up, he understood more.

"Nan Family members decided to leave Fei Yang Kingdom and headed towards Wei Da Kingdom, the kingdom that looked like it had the best prospect." Old Master Nan sighed. "Everyone decided to go, except for my uncle."

Old Master Nan's uncle.

Nan Hua's eyes flickered as she thought about Nan Family history that had been told to others and also learned by her and Nan Luo.

"The first patriarch of Nan Family in Fei Yang Kingdom…"

"My uncle took that title because he wanted to create a new lineage for Nan Family." Old Master Nan admitted generously.
