Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 641 Young

　　No matter how bad Nan Hou Xiang was, they needed to treat him as an opponent properly to prevent making mistakes.

”Yes, I know.” Feng Ao Kuai chuckled. “And I’m not the one who will deal with that arrogant brat. With his current ability, all he could use is his so called potential in the future. It’s nothing more than a bet.”

There were a lot of smart people.

But would all of them succeed in the end?

The answer was a big no. A lot of people worked hard for their entire lifetime, but it didn’t mean that they would definitely succeed. In fact, it was more likely for them not to succeed considering that it was not easy for everyone to succeed.

Genius only meant that they have potential.

But many geniuses fell before they could truly realize their true potential.

Besides, how many people would be willing to put a bet on the younger generations? Many of them would not be moved unless that person showed extraordinary talent or ability that was far above the rest of the people.

Nan Hou Xiang?

He might be quite talented in terms of his study, but there were also many others who were equally talented like him.

It would be hard for him to attract their attention.

”Aren’t we all the same right now?” Nan Luo shook his head. They were all still in their growing phase and no one could say for sure how far they would go on their path.

Would they succeed?

Would they fall in the end?

Would they deviate?

No one knew.

All they could do was to grit their teeth and continued on walking the path they had chosen. There would be various choices in front of them and each of them yielded various results.

What kind of choices would be presented in front of them was something even they didn’t know.

They had to wait for that time when the choices came and they had to pick one.

And then continued walking.

”Indeed.” Feng Ao Kuai chuckled. “Our paths and his path is completely different. We might not even have any intersection in the future.”

”If he’s following his father’s footsteps, it’s not impossible to intersect.” Nan Luo shrugged.

At this point, Nan Luo didn’t really want to call Nan Shu Cheng as his father. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would rather call that man with ‘Minister Nan’ or even ‘Master Nan.’

Calling him father made Nan Luo felt annoyed.

He didn’t like it.

So he will follow his heart and do what he wanted to do.

Anyway, no one will criticize him as long as he did it in private when he was chatting with his cousins.

Nan Shu Cheng is in the Ministry of Justice, so he also had some parts in terms of the warring matter. If it was absolutely necessary, people from this division might even be sent to the frontline.

Though, it wouldn’t be Nan Shu Cheng.

After all, his position was a bit too high to be sent away. His current position right now was one that many people coveted but couldn’t get in their entire life.

Even Nan Luo was a bit surprised when he heard of Nan Shu Cheng’s current rank.

He even felt that this was a scheme from Nan Hua.

Though, he didn’t have any proof.

”You’re thinking that he might be sent to the frontline?” Feng Ao Kuai’s expression turned strange when he looked at Nan Luo.

”Yeah.”

”Nan Hou Xiang is only 13 years old.”

There was no need for Feng Ao Kuai to continue his sentence because Nan Luo understood. Unlike being a soldier that could be done from when they were teenagers, most scholars would only enter the court when they were in their 20s.

Only a few remarkable ones would be able to become an official before they were an adult and it was very rare.

There was no lack of talented people.

But the problem was that the court examination was simply hell and it took so many years for them to study and memorize everything.

Nan Hou Xiang might be talented, but he was not so remarkable that he would break the record to be the youngest official. By the time he become an official, Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai might have long left him in the dust.

”Thinking about it now… I’m only going to turn 14 years, right?” Nan Luo’s expression turned somewhat strange.

Feng Ao Kuai was speechless. “Do you only remember now.”

”Yeah. I didn’t exactly pay attention to my age.” Nan Luo scratched the back of his head.

”Oh.”

Feng Ao Kuai himself didn’t really pay attention to his age if he had to be honest. However, when they all gathered yesterday, he came to realize that he was still a bit short compared to the others.

This made him self aware that he was still quite young.

”Well, we’re all still young. Are you going to bet on him?” Nan Luo asked with a teasing grin.

”I would rather bet on Hua’er.”

Nan Luo immediately nodded in agreement. “Me too.”

Comparing Nan Hua and Nan Hou Xiang was like comparing a rock and a diamond. Who would want to bet on a rock when they knew the true worth of a diamond? Only a stupid people would do that.

Not many people knew about Nan Hua’s excellent ability as she put on a mask. And in her real identity, Nan Hua would perform mediocre to avoid being in the limelight. However, Nan Luo was sure that no matter what identity Nan Hua took, she will definitely shine the brightest.

Be it as an assassin, as an adjutant, or even as a young lady, Nan Luo always felt that Nan Hua was really good.

Well, she did need to polish her skill as a young lady, but it was already really good.

No matter what, Nan Luo will think that his twin sister is the best!
