Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 473 Lantern Festival

”Silly me. I forget that you can’t stay out for too long. Bring some grapes back with you and share it with that stingy old man.”

”Yes, Grandmother.”

After some negotiating, Nan Hua only brought a portion of what she had picked in the garden even though Old Madam Long wished for her to bring all the grapes. She then went back to Nan Family Residence.

Both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai made some ruckus but Old Master Nan didn’t allow them to chase after Nan Hua. He did tell her that she couldn’t go to Long Family Residence for the time being, though.

Nan Hua knew that it was to avoid rumors, so she obeyed.

Two weeks were neither long or short.

Time passed swiftly as they spent their time in Old Master Nan’s Residence, savoring the limited time they would have with each other.

Soon, it was the Lantern Festival.

”The festival is not as big as before,” Nan Luo commented as he climbed the tree and watched the people outside. This has become one of his hobby whenever he wanted to take a look of the surroundings yet not coming out of his residence.

The tree was the best!

Xiao Yan looked at his master worriedly. “Master, please come down. It’s dangerous.”

”I’m fine~.”

Xiao Yan sighed when he noticed that Nan Luo wouldn’t come down.

However, what Nan Luo said was true. The Lantern Festival this year was severely lacking. With so many people were worried about the upcoming war and also the reaction of other factions, there were only a handful of people who were willing to enjoy the Lantern Festival to the fully.

As a result, the Lantern Festival was not as crowded as it was last year. Most people who had the time to enjoy this festival would be the merchants who wanted to earn profits and also children who still understood nothing.

For those children, there was no need to understand yet.

Even if they understand, they couldn’t do anything with their small body and limited capabilities.

Nan Luo clicked his tongue before jumping down.

Tep!

”Well, since today is our last day here, how about if we go on a round trip together around the Capital City?” Nan Luo asked.

”Sure.”

”When we get back, let’s spar against each other, Hua’er.” Nan Luo glanced at his twin sister and grinned widely. “I have already improved greatly and this time, I’ll be serious so that you won’t be able to defeat me.”

Nan Hua raised her head. “You won’t be able to defeat me, Luo.”

”Don’t be so confident~. If you make a mistake, I’ll surely take it.”

”I won’t.”

”We shall see later.” Nan Luo wanted to defeat his twin sister. In fact, he rarely saw Nan Hua made a mistake, but he had to be confident in himself. He had his goal and would strive to realize it.

”After Luo, it’s my turn,” Feng Ao Si added seriously. “We don’t know when we’re going to meet each other again, so please fight seriously.”

’If I fight seriously, all of you will die within seconds.’

It was what Nan Hua wanted to say. After her rigorous training, she had more or less reached similar strength as what she used to have in her previous life. Even though her body was a bit smaller in this world, it didn’t affect her that much. The medicine that her master given her had sped up her process to grow stronger.

With her current strength, there was no problem to defeat these three.

”Let’s go out first.”

”Wait, Hua’er.” Feng Ao Kuai pointed at the veil that Xiao Yun held on her hand. It was for Nan Hua to use.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. Most of the noble ladies would not even care about wearing a veil in this time because they wanted to attract men. But since Nan Hua had a fiancée, it would be inappropriate for her to not wearing any.

Seeing Xiao Yun’s gaze, Nan Hua silently took the veil and wore it. It was only after she had worn it did Feng Ao Kuai also retrieved his gaze back.

The two of them would never allow her to go without wearing one.

”What are we going to do today?” Nan Luo asked while leading the others through the side path. They didn’t want to attract any attention, so using the side path was safer. Not many people would recognize them as long as they didn’t publicize their identity.

Feng Ao Si tilted his head. “How about if we see some attraction?”

”Sure, I heard that there are beautiful dancers.”

”Really? I want to see it.”

”Heh, Brother Si is actually a pervert.”

”Nonsense! I’m only a person who admired beauty!”

”Are you sure?”

”Of course! I only admire them and not…”

Feng Ao Kuai looked at his elder brother and Nan Luo indifferently. In his opinion, no matter how beautiful that dancer was, there was no way that person could defeat Nan Hua’s natural charm.

Besides, he had no interest in watching those.

Looking at books were far more interesting than looking at women. If those women knew what he was thinking, they would have been speechless as it was the first time they were being compared to books.

The two of them stayed at the back and watched the show while Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si were at the front.

”Hua’er, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Feng Ao Kuai asked softly when the show was over. He didn’t really like to watch this kind of thing, but he knew that Nan Hua wouldn’t want to leave Nan Luo behind.

”No.” Nan Hua glanced to the side. She didn’t show it but her fingers moved slightly, showing some kind of sign.

At the back, the people who were sent to deal with them were quietly taken away and dealt with.

Even when they were going out without disclosing their real identity, it was impossible for others not to know who they were. How troublesome.
