Chapter 231 - Screams
"Alright, I won't." Nan Luo no longer talked about it as he noticed several more people were walking towards them. His eyes darkened slightly as he hoped that this would be over soon so that he would be able to meet with his twin sister once again.
A chuckled could be heard from the side. "First Young Master Nan, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Young Master Chi." Nan Luo cupped his fist.
Dressed in dark brown robe, Chi Song Lian walked towards the three children. He was clearly very handsome and attractive as a young man, but his dress showcased his intention to tone down his presence.
Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai followed suit to greet him.
Chi Song Lian nodded. "Shangguan Xiao told me that the training will be in two days. He wished that we all can gather in Shangguan Family Residence tomorrow for the journey."
"Is it far from here?" Feng Ao Si asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"I don't know. General Shangguan didn't tell us exactly where the location of our training will be." Chi Song Lian was not worried. General Shangguan wouldn't dare to do anything to them. If he did, the Chi Family, Feng Family, Nan Family, and Long Family would surely turn hostile instantly.
At that time, there wouldn't be any place for Shangguan Family in Fei Yang Kingdom no matter how amazing Great General Shangguan's achievement in the battlefield was. Facing four big families pressing him would be worse than anything.
"I see."
Feng Ao Si had the feelings that the location of the training would be exceptionally harsh. Thankfully, he had the confidence that he would be alright with his rigorous physical fitness.
"I hope you'll be able to learn a lot, Cousin Ao Si," Nan Luo said earnestly. Truthfully, he also wanted to go, but it would be impossible for his grandfather to allow him to go with his small body. He would have no other choice but to skip the training this time and probably tagged along for the next one.
He didn't believe that there wouldn't be any other training in the future.
"Yes."
Chi Song Lian didn't stay there for much longer as he had to talk with others too. As the young master of Chi Family, he was quite influential.
Nan Luo thought for a moment. "General Chi used to be in Zhang Xu Kingdom, right?"
Feng Ao Kuai, who was drinking, stopped his movement. He looked at Nan Luo for a moment before nodding. "General Chi made a mistake that caused Zhang Xu Kingdom to banish him. Because of that, he moves to Fei Yang Kingdom during Emperor Huan's reign."
"I see."
"He wouldn't return, but he might not be able to fight properly." Feng Ao Kuai's eyes were deep. General Chi's relatives were still within Zhang Xu Kingdom because there was some of his family members who refused to come to Fei Yang Kingdom. Nothing could be done for that as he couldn't possibly force them to move when they didn't want to.
Nan Luo nodded as he looked at Chi Song Lian's back with wonder. He wanted to know whether it was possible for Chi Song Lian to betray Fei Yang Kingdom in the future since he used to be in Zhang Xu Kingdom.
But on the second thought, it was unlikely.
That kingdom had banished them and naturally, it meant that they would not accept Chi Song Lian anymore. Though, there was nothing wrong with being a bit more careful with that young commander.
Turning his head to the side, Nan Luo noticed Nan Hou Xiang was walking in his direction. There was a smile on the youth's face as he greeted them politely. "First Brother, Cousin Ao Si, Cousin Ao Kuai."
They all replied coldly and Feng Ao Si pointed to the side. "I have to talk with Young Commander Long regarding the training again, so I'll be going."
"Be careful, Brother."
"I will."
Nan Hou Xiang could see that Feng Ao Si disliked him, but he didn't care in the slightest bit. He looked at Nan Luo and smiled lightly. "First Brother, Father misses you greatly. Have you thought when are you going to go back?"
"Go back?" Nan Luo repeated and shook his head. "Grandfather is still unwell. I can't possibly leave him alone, can I?"
Once more, Old Master Nan was used as excuse.
Inside his residence, Old Master Nan sneezed and looked at the sky speechlessly. He was absolutely sure that his two grandson must have talked bad about him again.
"I see." Nan Hou Xiang's eyes turned cold. He looked at Nan Luo with a smile. "In that case, is it possible for me to come and pay a visit?"
"Grandfather would be happy if you could come, but you would need Father's permission." Nan Luo smiled back, his eyes were equally cold.
"I'll ask later."
Naturally, Nan Hou Xiang had no intention of going to visit his grandfather. His grandfather didn't like him and wouldn't treat him well just because he was his grandson. If he came to his grandfather's residence, it was clear what kind of suffering he would experience when he headed there.
They would not play any trick.
But just the training would put him in despair.
The difference in his physique compared to Nan Luo was not small. If he was forced to train with Nan Luo, it would be very bad for him.
"Enjoy the banquet, First Brother."
"Likewise, Second Brother."
The two of them were glaring at each other before Nan Hou Xiang turned around and walked away. No matter how much he hated his older brother, Nan Hou Xiang couldn't possibly do anything in this place. If he didn't want to be put in disadvantage, he could only be patient.
There would be time for him to make a move.
"KYAAAAaaaaaaaaaa!"
The sudden scream startled everyone.
They all simultaneously turned to look at the door to the back.. It was the door that connected the main hall to the backyard.
