Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 357 We’ll Meet Again (1)

"Master, this is…" Hou Liang looked at Old Master Nan after the children had finished training. They were preparing to eat dinner then have some spar at night. Even though they were tired after that long trek, they knew that they had to bear with it if they wished to get stronger.

Old Master Nan sighed. He already knew that it would be this way when he asked the children to train their stamina. "Ao Si wouldn't stay here for long before he had to go to the frontline. Increase his training first and make the others spar against him for the time being."

"Yes, Master."

"As for Ao Kuai and Hua'er…" Old Master Nan sighed. "They'll train harder after Ao Si had left to catch up."

Hou Liang acknowledged and arranged the children's training.

Thus, Feng Ao Si suffered greatly because Old Master Nan kept on asking the other three to go against him. It was still fine with Nan Luo since his skill was about the same but Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Hua were treacherous. He felt that he had nearly died countless times under their hand.

After some time, Feng Ao Si had to go along with many other young commanders there while Nan Si Qiao and the others had come. Nan Hua now officially existed in Han Zhong City and would stay with her twin brother and cousin.

"Tomorrow, Young Commander Long and Young Commander Feng will go to the frontline." Old Master Nan looked at the children who had just finished their arduous stamina training on the mountain. Both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si sprawled on the ground, especially because Feng Ao Si wore weight that caused him to be tired faster than the other three.

Feng Ao Kuai could barely stand with Nan Hua beside him. She would not lay down on the ground even though she was so tired that her legs felt like it would fall off. Her clear obsidian eyes were staring at the distance calmly.

"Eh?" Feng Ao Si tilted his head. He looked at Old Master Nan. "Is it time already?"

"Yes."

"I thought that I can stay here for a longer period of time." Feng Ao Si sighed. He had just found out that training with the other children could be so arduous too. After all, his grandfather had purposely asked the others to target him from time to time.

Thus, his night training could only be described as tragic.

Old Master Nan shook his head. "Your Father is dissatisfied because you can't be compared with Young Commander Long, Second Young Commander Shangguan, and Young Commander Chi."

Feng Ao Si's lips twitched. "They're older than me!"

"Young Commander Long is younger than you by a few days." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother after he had recovered some strength to speak.

Feng Ao Si: "…"

"Also, there's a young commander from commoner background who has been very active at the frontline. He's currently 15 years old and already a 300 men commander." Old Master Nan looked at his grandchildren and shook his head. It seemed that he was hoping a bit too much from Feng Ao Si?

Feng Ao Si's face turned dark. "I'll… work hard."

Right now, Feng Ao Si was still only 100 men commander. He was practically the one with the lowest rank amongst the other young commander in Fei Yang Kingdom.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother and looked elsewhere. With his current strength, it would be impossible for him to go to the frontline directly. He better waited for two more years or so to the time when Nan Luo was also ready to go to the frontline.

That way, he would be able to become the 'strategist.'

"Good."

"Grandfather," Nan Hua called out.

"Yes, Hua'er?"

"Can I meet Young Commander Long before he left?"

Three pairs of eyes immediately turned to look at Nan Hua. However, Nan Hua was calm as she looked at her grandfather with her clear gaze. It would be a few more years before she could meet him again, so she wanted to bid a proper goodbye.

Old Master Nan pursed his lips. "Young Commander Long asked to join our dinner tonight to bid farewell to you children too."

"Okay."

Nan Luo was looking at Nan Hua with confusion. He didn't understand what made Nan Hua wanted to meet with Long Qian Xing, but he vowed that he would watch over the two of them intently.

There was no way he was going to let them met with each other privately!

Feng Ao Kuai pursed his lips unhappily. He didn't like it when Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing met. Not to mention, this time, it was Nan Hua who asked for them to meet with Long Qian Xing.

Thus, his displeasure grew.

When the night come, Feng Ao Si's lips twitched. He could see both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were pestering close to Nan Hua. From their gesture, it was clear that they had no intention to stay away even for a moment.

It looked like a fortress.

Nan Si Qiao also watched with her lips twitched. "Ao Si, do you know why your younger brother liked Hua'er so much?"

"No."

Feng Ao Si was a bad liar. Whenever he lied, he would look away and felt afraid to meet with the other party's gaze. Thus, Nan Si Qiao knew that her oldest son knew the reason but he didn't mention it.

"You little rascal!" Nan Si Qiao felt a bit helpless when she was facing her son.

However, Feng Ao Si couldn't answer it.

How could he possibly say that Feng Ao Kuai had decided to serve under Nan Hua? Even though Nan Si Qiao knew that Nan Hua was capable, would she accept having her son to be under her? Feng Ao Si didn't want to take the gamble.

It was better for him to pretend that he didn't know.

"Hua'er, sit here." Old Master Nan beckoned for her to come closer.

"Grandfather." Nan Hua was obedient and sat beside Old Master Nan.

Nan Luo hurriedly sat beside her with Feng Ao Kuai sat in front of Nan Hua. They looked like they were ready to protect her from all sides.
