Chapter 333 Night Talk: Nervousness

Chapter 333 Night Talk: Nervousness

Night time.

Nan Hua slipped away for a moment and looked into a distance. She silently performed the secret code of moving her hand and after a moment, some of the shadows who were following her had disappeared.

They were going to the main frontline.

Honestly, Nan Hua herself was not entirely sure what these Dark Moon Organization members would be able to do to help in the war. But since she wanted them to make covert movement to erase any potential danger near her grandfather, it would be better to put them to use.

Only a few of them were left to watch over this area and another few to follow her later.

"Nan?"

Turning her head to the back, Nan Hua saw Nan Luo walked out. She was still wearing the same mask as before, so she nodded. "Young Master, are you not resting?"

"I can't sleep." Nan Luo didn't know whether it was nervousness or excitement, but thinking that they would arrive at the very frontline in the morning made it hard for him to sleep.

Yes, he knew that he wouldn't be able to participate in the skirmish, but it didn't change the fact that he was also very nervous right now.

If only it was possible, he wanted to call someone to tell them about this feeling of his.

"Are you nervous, Young Master?"

"Maybe."

Nan Luo stood beside Nan Hua and looked at the sky. Stars were filing the sky as if they were sands. It was very beautiful, making one unable to retract their gaze for a long time when they were enjoying the view.

"Young Master."

"I might not be able to believe it that I can finally stand here." Nan Luo smiled faintly. He realized that he had never talked properly with Nan Hua before. Ever since the time he realized that he had failed her so terribly, he never dared to speak to her more than necessary.

Every time he talked, it would be mostly him fooling around to bring a smile to his sister.

It was then he realized that his sister was someone who could easily act and it bring him another pain. She looked like a stranger to him, but he wished that she would at least allowed him to stay near her.

He felt that he was not worthy of her care before.

So he wanted to make sure that she would be able to be happy with him around.

That was the only thing that he could do to make sure that he was no longer feeling guilty over what had happened many years ago.

"When I was young, my father trained me to become an official. I can't say that I don't like it but it has never been my path because I can't bring myself to like memorizing those things." Nan Luo sighed when he recalled the time when he had to memorize everything. Coupled with his half-brother, Nan Hou Xiang's provocation, there were many unpleasant memories of his study.

He also created a lot of trouble in the academy, causing headache for many people. However, his talent for martial arts also caused him to focus more on training at the field, which allowed him to think about his future from another perspective.

Did he need to become an official?

His grandfather is a very famous great general. If he wanted to become a soldier and paved his own way up, it wouldn't be that impossible either.

"But I guess I'm more suited for brawl rather than using my brain." Nan Luo laughed bitterly. "I often make fun of my cousin because he's someone who will only use his fist, but thinking about it from another perspective, he's actually also quite similar to me from another sense."

Nan Hua listened to her twin brother. When he paused, she finally reacted and responded, "Everyone is different."

"Do you think so?"

"You have your own methods and even though it's quite similar, it just means that you're of the same type. How you're going to walk in this path later on will depend on you."

Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua then smiled faintly. "Right."

The two of them no longer talked to each other and merely looked at the stars in the sky. It looked like the stars were guiding them to reach the peak and showed them that above them, there were still stars above them.

Beautiful and far.

'Someday, I'll reach the top.'

Nan Luo smiled lightly. He wanted to be like his grandfather, to be at the peak and stayed strong so that no one would be able to harm anyone near him anymore.

Beside him, Nan Hua silently took a step back, standing within Nan Luo's shadow. It was as if she was saying to him that she would support him from the back in whatever he wanted to do.

Nan Luo would stand under the light while she would stand under the shadow.

"Young Master, please rest."

"Mhm."

Having talked a bit, Nan Luo felt much better. He returned into the tent and went to sleep.

On the other hand, Nan Hua glanced to the main tent where General Feng, Feng Qian Shao, was still talking with his other commanders. They were all going to lead the battle tomorrow, so they had to be prepared.

Lowering her eyes, Nan Hua walked back into her tent.

Whatever happened tomorrow, she would just do what she had to do.

…

The next day.

Feng Ao Si stretched his body. He looked into the distance and blinked his eyes. "I have been meaning to ask this, but why is Traveling Doctor Liu follow us from a distance? Is he going to be part of the military this time?"

"No. He's just here to watch over someone." Feng Ao Kuai didn't even turn around as he walked to his horse.

"Watch over?" Feng Ao Si was confused.

Nan Luo pursed his lips but he didn't answer. This idiot didn't need to know!
