Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1260 Dinner



His first son was really incompetent and even though the early career seemed to be quite good, he ended up as a big failure in the end.

The second son didn’t even want to enter the battlefield.

And the last one was a daughter whom he had long married away.

He only has three children, two of whom had married and only his second son refused to get married.

“I see…” Duan Shang Yi actually didn’t want to be a minister. His reading talent was not that good.

In fact, neither of these two brothers were good at reading. Their result was really bad at school as they truly couldn’t do anything about it. He himself hadn’t found anything that he was particularly good at because he felt that everything he did was mediocre while his young brother was good at designing things and also created them with metal.

That was why his younger brother became a blacksmith.

“Your son….” General Duan paused for a moment. “If his talent is good, let him continue the line in the battlefield.”

Duan Shang Yi was stunned. He has three children after several years of marriage, but it didn’t mean that he was willing to allow his son to enter the battlefield. His son was the youngest among the three children and had only been born a year ago.

He naturally wanted his son to continue his lineage.

But pushing his son to the battlefield?

For a moment, Duan Shang Yi felt complicated. But he also knew that if there were no one among the younger generation who could enter the military, it was estimated that their military lineage will end in his father’s hand.

He took a deep breath. “I’ll think about it.”

“Ok.”

General Duan longed for his children to continue his line, but if they truly couldn’t, then he wouldn’t force it. It was good if they could live in peace for many years to come.

Anyway, being an official was also a good. They could have a stable live without the need to worry about eating and drinking. All they needed to do was to read and study about the matter of nation.

Duan Shang Yi walked back to his residence.

“Master, you’re back.”

“I’m going to rest.”

“Yes.”

The servants in Duan Shang Yi’s Residence were all being careful. They had seen that Duan Shang Yi was not in the good mood and whoever dared to step on the line during this time would definitely earn the biggest punishment ever in their life.

“Dad!”

The soft and milky voice of a young girl traveled to Duan Shang Yi’s ear.

He might have earned quite a high rank in the battlefield, but he was only 27 to 28 years old. It was definitely a young age and also the promising age when people started their career.

Now, his career was cut short and he had to start from the beginning again.

Looking at the young girl, Duan Shang Yi smiled faintly. “Yu’er.”

“You’re back.” Duan Shang Yi’s first daughter, Duan Shui Yu, looked at her father and threw her body on him, which Duan Shang Yi caught easily. She was only 6 years old and still didn’t quite understand how the world outside was.

For her, all she knew was the life inside this residence.

And Duan Shang Yi had no intention of introducing the outside world to this innocent daughter of his. As a father, he didn’t want his daughter to experience the harsh battle outside and lived her life peacefully in this residence.

“I’m back, Yu’er.”

“Mom is looking for you. She cooked your favorite fish and my favorite snack.” Duan Shui Yu clapped her hand cutely.

Duan Shang Yi laughed lightly. “In that case, let’s go.”

“Yeah.” Duan Shui Yu grasped her father’s hand and then walked side by side with her father. Her small legs were trying her best to walk faster while Duan Shang Yi allowed her to drag him, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

In the pasts, he never understood why his father always cared for his children so much. But after being a father himself, he understood that it was impossible for a parent not to care about their children. They would worry easily that something happened to their children.

He has always felt so indignant about his father’s decision and the fact that Duan Family was being scorned everywhere.

But living a peaceful life in his residence, he slowly calmed down.

Seeing his daughter, Duan Shang Yi had no other choice but to give up on his thoughts. No matter how much he stayed loyal to Wei Da Kingdom, if it meant he couldn’t protect his daughter, it would be worthless.

So, he had to do his best and try to live.

Live a better life.

More than he used to be.

<The Road>

After Long Qian Xing finished talking with General Duan, he walked to the street and approached the area where the blacksmith was located. He wanted to see if Nan Hua had left or she was still here.

After all, the two of them didn’t know how long the business of the other party will take.

“Young Master Long,” Nan Hua greeted when she saw Long Qian Xing walked closer. It seemed that their business finished at almost the same time.𝑂𝒱𝒍xt.𝑪𝗈𝓶

Long Qian Xing chuckled. “It seemed that fate wants us to spend a bit more time. Would you like to have dinner first before leaving, Adjutant Nan?”

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and cupped her fist. “Please.”

“Alright.”

The two of them walked to the nearby restaurant and Long Qian Xing ordered a private room. Their two servants were waiting at the side in case their master would need their presence.

In any case, it didn’t look like they would be needed anytime soon.

Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua ordered some food and waited. “It might take a long time for things to calm down. Would you like to fight at the frontline together, Adjutant Nan?”
