FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 200 - The Failed Scheme



Nan Hua watched as Shangguan Xiao acted polite and lowered her gaze. How could she not know that he was trying to build good image in front of the other commander. It seemed that the Shangguan Family was indeed filled with scheming people.

"Are we going to stay here any longer?" Nan Luo asked curiously.

Feng Ao Kuai looked into the distance. "Grandfather hadn't returned yet."

"Aww…"

Nan Luo didn't want to stay here any longer, especially when he saw that Shangguan Die was clearly looking in their direction as if wishing for their death. He didn't know what made the two Shangguan siblings to hate them so much.

At this time, the other four were still talking with each other in the middle of the field. After some struggle, Feng Ao Si managed to stand up properly even though his body was still hurting so badly.

"If you would like to rest, I can prepare a place for all of you," Shangguan Xiao offered.

"There's no need." Long Qian Xing straightened his back. He knew that General Shangguan had already hold back when dealing with him. "I'll be waiting for the winter training later."

"Father said that he'll hold it after the end year examination. I wish you the best."

"Ah." Feng Ao Si's face turned dark when he recalled the examination from the academy that would be hold at the beginning of winter. He managed to skip it last year because he was not in the Capital City. But now he would have no other choice but to participate in it.

Long Qian Xing chuckled. "Don't worry about it, Second Young Commander Shangguan."

Shangguan Xiao nodded. As he passed by Long Qian Xing while trying to walk steadily, a bamboo strip was silently slipped in. No one saw how the bamboo strip moved from Shangguan Xiao to Long Qian Xing's hand.

The two youths also kept their appearances.

Nan Hua was silently watching the two of them. She knew this event in the novel and that the bamboo strip was actually the clue for him. The prelude of the first big war in Fei Yang Kingdom had officially started.

In a few months' time, the war would start.

She turned her head to the side and saw Shangguan Die staring daggers at her. She glanced back and saw Xiao Yun, who was staying with her was trembling once more. Her eyes narrowed.

"Grandfather had come out. Let's go back."

"Mhm."

Old Master Nan walked out and looked around for his grandchildren. Upon seeing the four brats, he nodded his head, indicating for them to come out.

Nan Hua walked into the hall and passed a look at the food there. The corner of her lips showed a disdainful curl. They thought that they could mix the herbs without her knowing but in truth, she had already found out long ago. If she stayed here, it was clear that the Shangguan Family wanted to make things worse between the younger generation.

But how could Nan Hua let it happen?

She would never let them succeed. As for what the original Nan Hua did, she didn't have any clue whatsoever because it was not written.

"So boring."

Nan Luo stretched his body after he entered the carriage. He noticed that Nan Hua was the last one to enter and even looked out. "Xiao Yun, enter the carriage."

"Miss?" Xiao Yun looked at Nan Hua in surprise.

"Enter the carriage," Nan Hua repeated.

The others were silent. The carriage might not be that big but since the four of them were only children, it was very spacious. Adding Xiao Yun into the carriage wouldn't eat up that much space either.

Xiao Yun was sweating buckets as she slowly entered the carriage and looked at the others nervously. She looked at her miss as if asking for help, but she could see the cold expression on Nan Hua's eyes.

"Miss…"

"Where do your families live?"

"Miss?" Xiao Yun was stunned.

Nan Hua looked at Xiao Yun and leaned back lazily. Her attitude looked as if it was not anything important, but the cold glint in her eyes were very clear. "Your family who sold you and your older brother to Nan Family. Where do they live?"

At this moment, Xiao Yun felt that everything that happened had been made known by Nan Hua. Even though she tried her best not to show anything, it was utterly useless in front of Nan Hua.

"They… they live outside the Capital City in the small City Rou."

"Cousin Ao Kuai, tell grandfather that I want to visit the small City Rou for a short time."

"Alright. We'll come with you." Feng Ao Kuai looked at Xiao Yun once before he leapt down the carriage and walked over to his grandfather. Hearing the strange request, Old Master Nan was a bit speechless when he watched the brats in front of him.

The carriage then headed outside the Capital City.

Xiao Yun was still standing there nervously while Nan Luo looked outside the carriage. His servant, Xiao Yan was also following them outside. However, he couldn't understand why they were going to visit Xiao Yun and Xiao Yan's parents.

Normally, once the parents had sold their children, they would not have any connection between each other whatsoever. The parents would also not expend any effort to know about their children's condition since they sold their children in order to support their life.

Only a very scarce few would try to think of a way to redeem their children.

Majority of them would not even care whether their child end up as slaves or anything worse.

"Uh… why are we not heading back?" Feng Ao Si asked in confusion. His body no longer hurt that much, but he still stayed still on his place in order to avoid getting wounded once more. He had just gotten better and had no intention of aggravating the situation anymore.

"There's a place we have to visit." Nan Hua squinted her eyes and turned to look at Xiao Yun. "Where's the letter?"

Xiao Yun was startled. She gritted her teeth before taking out a bamboo strip from her robe and handed it to Nan Hua. Her body was trembling, and she was on the verge of crying. However, she held back and didn't do anything.

The bamboo strip was very short and concise, telling them everything they need to know.
