Chapter 1976  Lou’s Thoughts

Chu Yue didn't answer Lou's question and only smiled. She looked in Nan Hua's direction for a moment and then averted her eyes once more to look at the flowers and grasses. Before Nan Hua's sweet interaction with Long Qian Xing was over, she would not look in their direction.

Lou didn't pester Chu Yue to answer either. After spending some time together to work in various matters, the two of them basically knew each other's personality. And Lou was not the type to inquire into other people's privacy at will. He looked forward and saw Long Qian Xing laughing at what Nan Hua said. The look in his eyes clearly said how happy he was. It was clear that his eyes would not lie about what he was feeling. Lou smiled faintly.

He had served Long Qian Xing ever since the young man was only a young boy. He was a few years older than Long Qian Xing and Long Qian Xing's father, Long Ao Ming, arranged for him to take care of Long Qian Xing. Before meeting Long Ai Ming, Lou was an orphan child. To be honest, he didn't even remember his parents or if he ever had one. Ever since he could remember, he had been running around the street, trying his best to survive along with many other orphan children out there. The city where he came from was quite near the frontline. Long Ao Ming was arranged to come there and that was how Lou was able to meet with him. A famous general and a small, dirty orphaned child. The two of them didn't match each other no matter how one looked at it. However, Long Ao Ming took him in and taught him martial arts. After a few years, they went to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City and Lou met with Long Qian Xing, who was only four to five years old at that time. Ever since then, Lou stayed by Long Qian Xing's side, following and abiding the young man's order. "Young Master has always been a strict person when he was young," Lou said slowly. "He's changing."

The young Long Qian Xing was already under strict pressure from his father and arranged to train martial arts day and night. His young body was forcefully trained by his father and it was extremely harsh that Lou felt his training was not as much as the young master. There were times when Long Qian Xing would feel tired and all.

But in the end, Long Qian Xing continued to follow the training again and again. Even at such a young age, the young Long Qian Xing was brought to the frontline by Long Ao Ming. He was taught to become a soldier and also allowed to see the harsh world. Lou could remember very clearly.

The time when the young Long Qian Xing returned from the battlefield for the first time, the young master vomited until nothing was left on his stomach. Because he was forced to see the cruelty of the war. After some time, Lou could see that his young master was changing. At that time, the young Long Qian Xing was only in his teenage years, 12 or 13 years old. But the look in the young Long Qian Xing's eyes were no longer that of immaturity. Instead, it seemed to have grown up. Lou could remember trembling in fear because of the young Long Qian Xing's gaze. It was to the point that he doubted himself because he had never felt that way before. At the same time, he realized that his young Master's martial arts had improved further.

There was no longer any unwillingness in the young master's training.

He trained day and night, even harsher towards himself compared to when his father trained him. It was scary.

Eventually, Long Ao Ming told his son to go back to the Capital City first.

It was in this capital city that Lou realized that the young Long Qian Xing had already started to make his own goal and strive to achieve it. He made a deal with Emperor Yang Zhou. He met with his fiancée and made use of her background. He stood up against the bullying of his older sister and no longer tolerated her as much. And many other things. Lou saw the young master changing after returning from the battlefield and felt both gratified and worried. Because he was worried that the young Long Qian Xing would only know about the bitterness of the world and not the warmth.

Because what he had seen in the war was filled with cruelty. And the schemes that the young Long Qian Xing made often made Lou trembled. Because he could see that the young master was able to guess and grasp other people's movement very accurately.

It was to the point that he was able to deduct what they were going to do without meeting them directly. He was simply the natural born schemer. And because everything was going the way he wanted it to be, the young Long Qian Xing seemed to be out of touch from this world from time to time. But even if he had tried to do his best and made sure that he didn't make any wrong steps in his move… there was still one thing that was out of his calculation. His fiancée and his own feeling. He had never predicted that he would fall for the young girl and that she would fake her own death to get away from Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City and her own family.

Thinking about their long journey until they reached here, Lou could only smile bitterly. But from the deepest of his heart, he was glad that the two of them were able to stay together at the end. As the one who watched Long Qian Xing from the darkness most of the time, he was very clear about the young man's growth.
