FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 826: Feng Kang Xiang, Feng Kang Ming and Feng Mo Xing

“Yes, it has. But compared to Nan Family, it’s far smaller and only operates on a small scale in order to be able to survive.”     

“In your hand?”     

“Yes.” Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He didn’t expect Nan Hua to bring this up. Even though he never told Nan Hua about this matter, he was sure that Nan Hua knew that Feng Family Force was already in his hand.     

His father, General Feng, had chosen to hand this matter to him a few months prior. At that time, it seemed that his father had decided that he would be the one to succeed in this organization rather than Feng Ao Si.     

And considering their personality… he didn’t think that it was strange.     

If it was handed to Feng Ao Si, Feng Ao Kuai was sure that the entire organization would be destroyed within a few days’ time. There was no way the condition would be salvageable with his capability.     

“Have them move to the south and continue to gather information.” Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Kuai. “I’ll handle the border and the rest.”     

Feng Ao Kuai blinked his eyes before he obeyed. He had already decided to follow Nan Hua five years ago and even now, he didn’t think that he had made the wrong decision. For him, it was instead the best decision for him to be able to follow Nan Hua.     

The two of them talked about a few more matters before Nan Hua left for her quarter while Feng Ao Kuai hid in another place.     

He certainly couldn’t stay in Nan Family Residence as Feng Ao Kuai, or it would be made known that he didn’t follow the military order. Feng Ao Kuai was not ready to face demotion yet.     

The night passed quietly.     

Other than some ruckus in Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence, there was nothing else. Nan Hua heard about the matter of Nan Xin disappearing the next day. At the same time, she heard about Nan Hou Xiang, who will be raised by a distant relative.     

He could still stay in the Capital City, but he definitely wouldn’t be able to enjoy the same status as he used to be.     

“Miss, do you want to interfere?” Mu Yan asked softly when she noticed Nan Hua’s expression. She was usually a silent one, but she was also perceptive of her Miss’s expression that others might miss.     

Nan Hua shook her head. “They have their own fates. Children’s set of values hadn’t been fully fixed and can still easily change. There’s no need to interfere with theirs.”     

Xiao Yun looked at her Miss with confusion. Why did it sound as if Nan Hua was already an adult when she talked about this? Nan Hua was clearly only a few months older compared to Nan Hou Xiang and Nan Xin.     

But the way she spoke was as if she was far older than the two of them and had seen much more of the world.     

“Yes, Miss.”     

“Where’s Ao Kuai?”     

“Second Young Master Feng said that he’ll pay a visit to the academy before coming here,” Chu Yue replied, informing Nan Hua regarding Feng Ao Kuai’s schedule.     

Academy?     

Nan Hua then recalled that Feng Ao Kuai’s cousins were all in the academy. They all had similar names due to the fact that people here liked to use generation names (the same first name for those born in the same generation). However, she still could differentiate them.     

“I see.”     

Since he would like to meet his cousins first, Nan Hua was not in a hurry. Besides, what she wanted to know the most right now was regarding another matter that had absolutely no relationship to this matter at all.     

Would she need to wait for long?         

Nan Hua didn’t really think that way, but she was patient enough.

…     

Feng Ao Kuai looked around. It has been quite a long time since the last time he came here. And today, he didn’t really come here formally and instead sneaked inside by pretending to be a guard.     

The helmet helped to cover up his face. As long as he said that he was still a newbie, they would believe him.     

His appearance was a bit too young.     

It didn’t take long for Feng Ao Kuai to reach the field. There were several children there. Some of them were still small while some others were already teenagers. There were even some adults there.     

Commoners who couldn’t study when they were young and only had the chance to come when they were older would use the chance well. Though, many of them would only learn martial arts in passing as they focused more on the matter of the state.     

Feng Ao Kuai slowly walked to the side as a teenager sat down, panting.     

“Feng Kang Xiang.”     

The teenager, Feng Kang Xiang, was stunned when he heard the voice. He thought that he was hallucinating for a moment before he turned around and saw the ‘guard’ not far from him. If not because he realized the outfit of the other party was a bit strange, he would have shouted cousin.     

“Wha…You’re here?” Feng Kang Xiang finally settled on that. He looked at his cousin and smiled brightly. He had always adored his cousin and this feeling had never changed even until this time.     

In the past, he loved to tag along with his cousin whenever the latter came back. At this moment, his eyes were shining so brightly like the stars in the sky.     

“How’s your progress?” Feng Ao Kuai asked.     

Feng Kang Xiang was 14 years old this year and had only participated on the battlefield once to help General Feng. His position back then was nothing more than a helper, watching the soldiers turn their desperate situation into victory back then.     

“I’m strengthening my basics. Uncle told me that I’m not allowed to go back to the battlefield before I can fix my martial arts.” Feng Kang Xiang was a bit embarrassed about this. He felt that he was really not too good at this and naturally thought that it was embarrassing that his progress was slow.     

“Take your time. There’s no hurry.” Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He noticed that the others would rest soon, so he bid his farewell.     

Feng Kang Xiang actually wanted to talk more with his cousin, but he was tactful enough not to ask anything more when he saw that his cousin had walked away. However, he was still confused about why did his cousin specifically come to ask about his condition?     

After turning his brain a few times, he still couldn’t think of anything, so he chose to let the matter off. Whatever his cousin was planning to do, he didn’t have to interfere. And naturally, he just felt happy that his cousin still paid some attention to him.     

He wanted to be like his cousin even more.     

Feng Ao Kuai walked to the other areas. Since he hadn’t come to the academy for a long time, it took him some time before he could reach the designated location. There were a lot of students there.     

Many of them were around his age.     

But he didn’t really feel that it was his place to be here. Probably it was because he knew that even when he was not in the academy, he would still continue to study and learn. After all, learning is a never ending process.     

Before long, Feng Ao Kuai could see his two cousins walking together, Feng Kang Ming and Feng Mo Xing. There was actually another one of his cousins who walked past the two of them, but Feng Ao Kuai naturally ignored him.     

He waited until they were alone before he walked closer.         

“Cousin Mo Xing, I’ll go to see my brother first.” Feng Kang Ming was still 9 years old and couldn’t understand everything the teacher taught them. Because of that, he still had a lot to learn.     

Feng Mo Xing nodded. “Alright, you should go.”     

“Okay.”     

Feng Mo Xing stood in his place, watching his younger cousin leave before turning around. He himself was only 12 years old, but his temperament had changed completely. Back then, he was more like a snot nosed brat who was pampered and couldn’t do anything right.     

After so many years of trial and events, he had changed a lot. The current Feng Mo Xing was no longer the same as the one in the past.     

“Feng Mo Xing.”     

The voice startled Feng Mo Xing greatly. He turned around with a stunned expression and when he saw Feng Ao Kuai with the guard clothes, he was stunned. Afterwards, he smiled and nodded without greeting the other party.     

There was no way he could possibly call Feng Ao Kuai with his cousin when the other party was not even showing his real appearance here.     

“It’s been a while,” Feng Mo Xing thought before saying.     

“Yes, indeed.” Feng Ao Kuai looked at the youth in front of him. Yesterday, Nan Hua said that she wanted Feng Mo Xing to enter the court, but he was the one feeling rather doubtful.     

Would that brat possibly change so much?     

Thus, he came here to check and see for himself.
