Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 428 Do You Miss Me?

Zhang Dan Shui's lips twitched when he heard what Feng Ao Kuai said. He knew that Feng Ao Kuai knew the truth but pretended to know nothing. Thus, he could only smile when facing Feng Ao Kuai's words.

"Great General Nan had been waiting for you, so I'll naturally come to escort you, Second Young Master Feng."

Feng Ao Kuai's gaze remained indifferent as he nodded. "In that case, I'll thank Governor Zhang. My brother and cousins are still in the carriage. The temperature is cold, so I hope Governor Zhang wouldn't ask them to come out."

Honestly, Zhang Dan Shui really wanted to punch Feng Ao Kuai's mouth. However, he had great self control after staying in Zhang Family Residence for nearly two decades.

"Don't worry, Second Young Master Feng. I'm not an unreasonable person."

"Good."

The carriage was moving in in slow speed and Zhang Dan Shui pursed his lips. He really wanted to head into the carriage and have a short talk with Nan Hua. However, it was hard for him to even interact with her because of their difference in status.

If only Nan Hua was a boy, it might be easier.

Thunk!

Something was stuck near Zhang Dan Shui's legs. The snow covered it up, but Zhang Dan Shui knew that there was something there. He moved his hand and dropped his wallet before bending down to take a look.

A bamboo stick was stuck on the ground near him.

He didn't know how in the world Nan Hua managed to throw it to him without anyone noticing like that. He lightly caressed the words on top of the bamboo stick as his eyes narrowed.

'Be prepared to be summoned to the Capital City soon.'

The corner of his lips curled up to form a smirk. It had been around four years since he came to Heng Xing City and stuck here to do his work as the governor. There were already many things that he had done, making Heng Xing City and many villages around to be under his control.

He had been waiting, waiting for the time when he could finally take his revenge against Zhang Family and to be able to use his position openly to repay what Nan Hua had given him. He was not an ungrateful person as he knew that he could only reach this position due to the many help that Nan Hua had given to him.

Without her help, he would never be able to reach this far.

'Father, Brother, I'm coming.'

Zhang Dan Shui tucked both the wallet and bamboo stick into his clothes. He would dispose of it soon so that there wouldn't even be any trace left.

He would be patiently waiting for the time while continue to build his power in this city so that no one would be able to look down on him anymore.

In the carriage.

Nan Luo was looking at Feng Ao Kuai with confusion. "Why do you treat Governor Zhang so harshly?"

"Yeah. I don't think he do anything wrong." Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at the two of them and felt that he was too lazy to even talk to them. He had noticed that the reason why Zhang Dan Shui came to welcome them personally even though their status was not high was because of Nan Hua. There was no way he would let rumors fly out, so he had to stop Zhang Dan Shui before he could get close to Nan Hua.

While he was not sure about the dealings Nan Hua had with Zhang Dan Shui, he knew that it was something that beneficial for her. It was also because of that he had to pretend that he had a bad relationship with the governor.

That way, no one would suspect them working together.

'These two idiots will not know about that.'

For some reasons, Feng Ao Kuai was doubting his older brother's intelligence. He had been wondering just what did his mother ate when carrying Feng Ao Si to the point that his older brother was so…. Stupid.

"We're here."

The group finally arrived at the designated place. There was a temporary residence for Old Master Nan that Zhang Dan Shui had prepared. In fact, this place was prepared for Nan Hua but of course, Zhang Dan Shui couldn't say it outright and only say that it was for Great General Nan.

The carriage stopped and they all alighted down the carriage. Xiao Yun took out a coat and draped Nan Hua with it to cover her from the cold. She might not need it, but it would be better than to let them knew how high Nan Hua's cold resistance was.

"Miss, you need to stay warm."

"Mhm."

Nan Hua didn't reject and walked into the residence with Nan Luo walking with her. He was standing in the direction where wind was coming, using his small body to block the wind towards Nan Hua.

Feng Ao Kuai walked at the front, looking around the place. It might be called temporary residence, but he had the feeling that this place was carefully prepared for them. This made him truly wonder just what kind of deal Nan Hua made with Zhang Dan Shui.

And to think that the unremarkable Zhang Dan Shui would be able to rise so much after coming here.

It was unexpected.

"Grandfather." Feng Ao Kuai noticed Old Master Nan and his eyes lit up. However, his gaze turned dull when he saw the person who followed Old Master Nan.

Nan Hua's eyes flickered when she saw the young man.

The young man still had a young face, but it had grown so much over the period where they hadn't met each other. The light that passed through the leaves shone across his face. It highlighted his perfect chiseled face. He was wearing a classic blue long robe with long sleeves. The neat appearance would easily make him look like a young scholar. However, there was some kind of aura around him that seemed to be rejecting anyone around him.

His sharp eyes turned slightly gentler when he saw the young girl.

"Hua'er," the young man, Long Qian Xing, called softly. "Do you miss me?"
