Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 182 - [Bonus ]Nan Luo Injured

No wonder he managed to rise through the ranks so quickly.

"And you two lost." Nan Si Qiao was amused. "Have some rest. I'll make a letter to your father for your return."

Feng Ao Si was stunned. "Mother, we're going to return so quickly?"

"What? You still want to stay here?" Nan Si Qiao asked back.

"Yeah. I'm still too weak and I'm afraid that if I return to the frontline now, I won't be able to do much." The beating that he got from Long Qian Xing woke him up. It was clearly a one sided match and thoroughly destroy any superiority feelings he used to have.

If only Long Qian Xing was serious, it wouldn't be difficult for the man to kill them with his sword.

Nan Luo nodded. "Yes, Aunt. I would like to study more with Cousin Feng Ao Si!"

"Mother, I also have a lot to learn here." Feng Ao Kuai tugged his mother's sleeve. He couldn't possibly leave before he finished the task of analyzing all the officials in Fei Yang Kingdom. If he did that, he wouldn't be able to be accepted fully by Nan Hua.

So far, he had only managed to evaluate some of them.

Nan Si Qiao smiled bitterly when she saw them being like this. She sighed and nodded. "In that case, I'll let you stay here. However, Mother have to go for a trip to Feng Family."

"Ah, why Mother?"

"Your Aunt is sick and needs someone to help her. You won't be able to do much even if you come with me, so if you want to train here, you can," Nan Si Qiao said with reassuring tone.

Feng Ao Si turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai. Upon seeing the other party's nod, he also nodded. Since it would be fine, there shouldn't be anything that they should worry about. Besides, their father would never let their mother be bullied.

"Are you sure that you don't need us, Mother?" Feng Ao Si asked once more.

Nan Si Qiao was amused. "If you come, would you actually help me take care of your aunt? It's more likely if you just stay behind and play all day long."

Feng Ao Si: "…" can't refute that.

Feng Ao Kuai also knew that his older brother wouldn't be able to be of much help. He too was not that proficient in medicine or in taking care other people. After mulling for some time, he could only nod his head.

Staying here and train would be much better than following his mother blindly.

"Father, please take care of these two troublemakers."

"Don't worry, I'll send them to the academy starting tomorrow." Old Master Nan laughed. The best place to learn would be the academy and these brats had been skipping for so many days. Except for Nan Hua who couldn't learn there, he should just send the brats to the academy.

"That's a good idea."

Feng Ao Si's face turned dark. He glanced at Feng Ao Kuai in hope that the latter could help him but found out that Feng Ao Kuai had already turned his head around. It was clear that he was not willing to help at all.

Nan Luo also groaned internally. He would rather stay at home with Nan Hua rather than roaming in the academy.

"Any objections?"

"No, Grandfather."

What a joke, if they refuted, they would be subjected to a harsher training that they would never forget in their entire life.

…

Time passed swiftly.

Two weeks passed peacefully. The temperature was still cool as it was still Autumn and Nan Hua spent most of her time to study in her home. The other brats would only return home when it was late, so they only have a short time to study together.

Old Master Nan was still spending most of his time in his study room and occasionally visiting Nan Hua to look at her progress.

"Young Miss, this one is no longer your match." Hou Lin was looking at Nan Hua, who had climbed the bamboo tree to catch him. Usually, it would take a long time for Nan Hua to be able to catch up but lately, it has become easier for her.

The only problem left was her stamina and overall strength.

With her current stamina, she wouldn't last for an entire day's battle. With her current strength, she wouldn't be able to face some veteran soldiers who were much stronger than normal.

Nan Hua nodded, leaning on the bamboo as if she was resting, she asked, "What's the best training to increase stamina?"

She knew very well that there were wars that could last for an extremely long period of time. Her body hadn't grown up yet and the training time she had was shorter than the one she had in her past life. If she didn't manage to make up for her lack of stamina, she wouldn't be able to survive.

"It's impossible to increase your stamina immediately, Young Miss. You need to have routine training everyday." Hou Lin was also helpless for this.

"I see."

Nan Hua narrowed her eyes. The earliest battle that would force her grandfather to participate would happen in a few months' time. Would she be able to increase her stamina enough for her to participate in the battle?

"Miss has good potential, so this servant is sure that you would be able to improve by leaps and bounds."

"I see."

Swish!

Jumping back down, Nan Hua landed on the ground. It was already quite late and yet her twin brother and her cousins hadn't returned. She was wondering what could possibly happen to those brats.

At this time, Nan Hua suddenly feel dull pain on her right leg. Her eyes narrowed. There was no attack on her… was it Nan Luo?

Her eyes turned colder as she thought of this possibility.

"Young Miss?"

"Check on Luo and the other two."

"Yes, Young Miss."

Before long, Hou Lin had returned. He bowed in front of Nan Hua. "Young Miss, Young Master is on his way back. However, he's wounded inside the carriage."

"Wounded?" Nan Hua asked, killing intent seeped out of her small body.
