Chapter 29 - Apologizing (2)
Nan Hua couldn't do anything but watch as Nan Luo ran around the courtyard while holding his butt. Old Master Nan didn't seem to be satisfied until he beat him up and the young boy sprawled on the ground.
"Didn't I tell you that you should just wait until you're old enough? Your small body will not be able to handle them," Old Master Nan chided.
It was true that Nan Luo was talented but he was still too young. At this age, he definitely couldn't match against other youngsters who were much older than him. They had greater strength and naturally, more formidable.
"I just have a light spar…" Nan Luo whined.
Old Master Nan narrowed his eyes. "Starting tomorrow, you'll have your separate training from morning."
"Ah?" Nan Luo quickly jumped off the ground. He ignored his pain as he clung onto Old Master Nan's sleeve. "But Grandpa, I'll die if I have to train that much!"
"No, you won't. I'll prepare medicine bath for you."
"Nooooo….."
Old Master Nan ignored Nan Luo's pleading and walked towards Nan Hua. He crouched down and patted Nan Hua's head. "Go and have some rest. If there's anything new, I'll call you. You can use the Ning Pavilion to train by yourself. I need to supervise your brother's training."
"Yes, Grandfather."
"Now, go and have some rest."
Nan Hua obediently left the main courtyard. Even from a distance away, she still could hear the sound of her grandfather bearing her twin brother. It seemed that he wouldn't be satisfied until Nan Luo truly couldn't stand up at all.
It was already near nighttime, so Nan Hua didn't stay up for long and went to rest.
The next day, she headed to Ning Shu Pavilion on her own. Her brother and Old Master Nan were staying in different place. There was only one person who was waiting for her in Ning Shu Pavilion.
"Brother Hou Liang," Nan Hua greeted.
Hou Liang nodded. "You can start training now. I'll be watching you. If you want to have a spar, I'll spar with you."
"Okay."
Looking at Hou Liang, Nan Hua thought for a moment before deciding not to spar with him. She had only been staying in this world for several weeks. While the increase of her strength was fast, it was still not enough to let her contend against a veteran soldier.
Thus, Nan Hua spent her day with her routine training to strengthen her muscle and allowed her to adapt to her small body.
After a few days, they heard the news of Long Xu Nian came to Su Family to apologize. The Su Family was a bit indignant and didn't seem to receive it well as the second young miss even flared up. Some people ended up talked about how Su Family Second Young Miss was so uneducated rather than Long Family Miss's attitude.
It was clear that Long Xu Nian must have triggered the second young miss on purpose.
Nan Hua didn't even understand why that Long Xu Nian even wanted to shift the blame to a seven year old girl.
After Su Family, Long Xu Nian came to Nan Family with Old Madam Long. This time, Nan Hua was called by her grandfather to the main hall to receive them. Nan Luo was also released from his intense training.
Looking at the tired Nan Luo, Nan Hua could guess that Old Master Nan must have pushed Nan Luo to the limit for the past few days and didn't let him rest too much. That way, Nan Luo would be able to grow stronger but at the same time, he would end up stayed exhausted for the next few days.
Nan Luo noticed Nan Hua looking at him and he grinned. "Don't worry, it's not as bad as it looked like. I'm alright."
Nan Hua nodded.
"I would prefer it if Grandpa can reduce the training, though." Nan Luo smiled bitterly. He looked to the front and pursed his lips. "They're here."
The carriage of Long Family had come so the two of them stopped talking.
Old Master Nan was also standing not far from them. Even though he knew that Long Family came because they wanted to apologize, he still didn't like them coming to his residence!
