Chapter 183 - Substitute
Hou Lin felt that he was unable to breath for a moment. The air around Nan Hua turned chilly, making it hard for him to believe that the one in front of her was nothing more than a young girl at such tender age.
However, the feeling disappeared as soon as it appeared.
He didn't dare to look up until he sensed Nan Hua's presence disappearing. Standing on his place, he looked at the place where Nan Hua stood just now with a complicated feeling. He was sure that such killing intent shouldn't have been present in that young girl.
What did she experience to be able to emit such killing intent?
Nan Hua didn't know what Hou Lin was thinking and didn't have any time to care. She reached the main hall and saw Xiao Yan helped Nan Luo off the carriage. Looking at the way they walked, she could see that Nan Luo's legs were injured.
Her eyes turned chilly.
Inside the novel, Nan Luo was said to be a useless cripple. Nan Hua first thought that the incident was the one in the temple. Was it actually this incident?
"Hua'er!" Nan Luo called out in surprise when he saw Nan Hua in front of him. Her face was still as indifferent as ever, but the coldness in her eyes seemed so piercing. It was as if he was seeing a grim reaper.
"What happened?"
"I was careless during my practice," Nan Luo lied immediately.
Nan Hua turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai, who spoke, "Nan Luo got challenged in horse riding by Young Master Shangguan. He ends up falling off his horse in the middle of the competition because his horse fail to be controlled."
"Why are you telling the truth?!"
"I have to tell the truth."
Young Master Shangguan.
Honestly, Nan Hua had no memory of this person if not for Feng Ao Kuai mentioning him. If she was not wrong, he used to be Nan Luo's study partner.
"Shangguan Yi?" Nan Hua asked.
Shangguan Yi was one of the young masters from Shangguan Family and was quite the sloppy person. She had only ever met with Shangguan Yi and not any other young master from Shangguan Family, so she was not totally sure which young master that they mentioned.
"Yes." Feng Ao Kuai nodded.
Feng Ao Si snorted. "That damn young master. If it's not because the teachers are present at that time, I would have long beaten him up black and blue. How can he possibly say that Nan Luo will be a cripple, ah?"
"What did the doctor said?" Nan Hua asked.
"He'll recover." Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Nan Hua. "In a month's time. During that time, he's not allowed to practice at all."
"Oh. Watch over him, Cousin Ao Kuai."
"Leave him to me."
Nan Luo felt the back of his head shivered when he saw the eerie look from Feng Ao Kuai. He howled, "I want to take revenge against that b*stard! How can I take revenge if I have to stay and recuperate?"
"How do you even plan on taking revenge when you can't walk properly?" Feng Ao Si jeered.
"I can challenge him in other matters! That useless young master wouldn't be able to win against me!"
Feng Ao Si: "…" why did I feel like agreeing?
Shangguan Yi had indeed training because he was born in a general family. However, he was thoroughly useless that no one would be able to point out which one was more useless between him and a pet that was kept by some women. His skill was bad and his knowledge was subpar.
However, because of his background family, no one dared to look down on him.
Nan Hua looked at her twin brother and felt that he would surely exert himself if he was allowed to head over to the academy. "Tell Grandfather that Luo is grounded."
Nan Luo was stunned.
Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows as the corner of his lips curled up slightly. He felt that it was an apt decision to make sure that Nan Luo would not do anything rash anymore. Rather than letting this brat came to the academy and wreak havoc, it would be better to let him rest at home.
Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes. "In that case, what do you want to do with Shangguan Yi?"
"Him?" Nan Hua tilted her head. "I'll take care of him."
"What do you mean, Hua'er?" Nan Luo had a bad premonition about it. However, Nan Hua had already left with Feng Ao Kuai tailing behind her. He felt abandoned when he saw his little sister leaving him just like this.
Feng Ao Si patted Nan Luo's head. "Come on, it's time for dinner."
"Ugh…"
When they came to dinner, Nan Luo got another harsh rebuke from Old Master Nan. He was worried for Nan Luo and felt that his grandson was indeed very careless. To think that he would be wounded at this period of time.
Didn't he know that there were already so many people eyeing their residence to get a piece of it?
Now that Nan Luo was wounded, Old Master Nan would have no other choice but to assign more people to protect him. He was internally lamenting and thinking which family would make their moves first.
"Grandfather, I would like to substitute Luo in two days' time."
"Hua'er?" Old Master Nan was stunned. He looked at his granddaughter then at his grandson. It was only now he remembered that the two of them were twins, fraternal twins at that.
It means that the two of them looked exceptionally similar. And at their young age, their height was also very similar. If the two of them wore the same clothes, it would be practically impossible to differentiate the two of them from one another.
"What's your plan?" Feng Ao Kuai asked from the side curiously.
"An eye for an eye."
