Chapter 82 - Staying In The Temple
Even if there was none, she could simply hack the database for more information regarding their activity to make her job easier.
Now that there was no internet or such thing, investigation would require more manpower.
Nan Hua had to build her own group.
And the first one that she required would be: information exchange group.
"Hua'er, you're so cool!" Nan Luo praised Nan Hua earnestly. He was about to blow his top when he saw Concubine Qu acting so smug like that. But after Nan Hua dealt blow after blow, he felt that his heart was so satisfied that he wished to hug his little sister all the time.
She was so amazing!
"Young Master, you should read more books if you wish to be as good as her," Xiao Yan reminded from the side.
Upon hearing the word book, Nan Luo unintentionally shuddered a bit. The books that Old Master Nan forced him to read and copy were all very difficult to understand. He was having a hard time to read them all.
Asking him to read even more was the same as torturing him.
"Hua'er is the best! I'll…I'll… do my best to be able to be like you," Nan Luo forced the words out of his mouth.
Xiao Yan looked at the side with satisfaction. Old Master Nan had always feel it to be difficult to force Nan Luo to study more. With this as a means to push him to learn more, Xiao Yan was sure that Nan Luo would be even better in the future.
Nan Hua looked at her brother and blinked her eyes. "Luo is good but still not her match."
Nan Luo: "…"
He felt that his sister's honest remark was painfully on point. He tugged Nan Hua's sleeve with aggrieved expression. "Does it mean that Hua'er step forward because I can't do it?"
"Yes."
Another hammer was thrown to Nan Luo's head.
Just listening from the side had allowed Nan Hua to see that Nan Luo was clearly not Concubine Qu's opponent. Rather than waiting for him to fail miserably, Nan Hua took the matter into her hand and chose to step forward.
Staying in the same courtyard with Concubine Qu was the same as inviting a snake to their den.
They were not ready to face that cunning woman. Nan Hua also didn't have any intention to stay with Concubine Qu and her two half siblings. There was no way they could possibly live harmoniously with each other.
"Young Master, Young Miss." Hou Liang returned and looked at the two of them with worry. "You didn't agree with Concubine Qu's words, right?"
Even until now, they would all still greet Concubine Qu using her former title. Not a single one of them wanted to acknowledge her as the madam of Nan Family.
"Of course not!" Nan Luo spat out. "Hua'er is so great! She deflected all the attack from that annoying concubine to the point that that woman couldn't speak anything."
"Young Miss?"
"Yeah! I'm not as good as her, so I have to train much better." Nan Luo clenched his fist to show that he would work hard.
Hou Liang's lips twitched.
He thought that Nan Hua's temper was very good, much better than Nan Luo. But hearing this from the young master told him that Nan Hua's temper was exactly the same as him. The two of them would retaliate fiercely.
And it seemed that Nan Hua had the advantage this time.
"Young Master, Young Miss, please follow me." Hou Liang felt that he would only grow tired if he continued this conversation.
The twins nodded and followed him. The servants were also following behind them. Different from the other Nan Family members, they were given a quarter at the southern area. It was a bit far from the entrance and looked quite secluded.
"This place is the one given by the Abbot after some negotiation. There'll be other family members on the other quarter nearby but it wouldn't be the Nan Family," Hou Liang explained.
Nan Luo looked around curiously. This place was still filled with trees and other plants around, making the temperature slightly cooler. He had also noticed that the building looked fairly old but still sturdy.
"Is this place usually empty?" Nan Hua asked.
"Yes, the Abbot said that because there are a lot of people who comes, they had no other choice but to open up the Southern area. The other residences nearby are also in similar condition," Hou Liang explained.
Nan Hua nodded. She could see that this place was not the best, especially compared to the Western and Eastern quarters. However, the building would still stand and only looked a bit old.
It was fine.
"There are a lot of rooms inside." Nan Luo peered inside from the door. He grinned. "Hua'er, let's pick our rooms!"
"Young Master, you can't stay in the same room as Young Miss," Xiao Yun reminded.
"I know! I know! We're just going to pick rooms next to each other."
"Young Miss, please don't run."
"Young Master, be careful."
Hou Liang watched the two children speechlessly. It was only now that he thought the two of them were really brats. When they were training in that field and somehow fended against him, he always felt that they were not children.
He glanced to the back. His eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed several people were watching from the darkness. The corner of his lips curled up ever so slightly as he understood that there were a lot of people who wanted to watch the two children's movement.
But of course, he would not let them.
"Clean up the area," Hou Liang ordered.
"Yes, Master."
The soldiers began to make their move as they unpacked the items brought by their young master and young miss.. There were also some food supplies since there was no way they would want to live by only eating vegetables for the rest of their time.
