C106 - You Wouldn’t Know Who You Offend (2)
Nan Luo heard the indifferent tone then turned to look at Nan Hua playfully. He could guess that she might be planning something just based on the way Nan Hua looked.
Nan Hua shook her head. Since they were not trying to search for trouble with her, there was no need for her to look for them for trouble either.
But.
The one who came to look for trouble was someone else.
Long Xu Nian spotted the twins from a distance. Seeing that they were fine, her eyes blazed with hatred as she stood up. Because Shangguan Die was also placed at importance, she also got the brunt with so many soldiers from Long Family died.
It was vexing for her.
Not only that, her dress was so dirty because she fell over so many times. While she was good at concocting medicine, she was not a martial artist who was capable of protecting herself.
"You two seem to be lucky, Young Master Nan, Young Miss Nan," Long Xu Nian said from a distance away.
Nan Luo furrowed his brows and wanted to step forward but Nan Hua tugged his sleeve from the back. Since the one who spoke was Long Xu Nian, it would be inappropriate for Nan Luo to be the one to speak.
"Young Miss Long, you don't look so bad yourself." Nan Hua still held onto her soup as she looked at Long Xu Nian.
Don't look so bad?
How could one not know that it was nothing more than a mock? Given by how Long Xu Nian couldn't even clean up her dirty hand, it was clear that she was suffering. There was no water nearby where she could wash up or she would have long washed and changed to a cleaner dress.
"Indeed." Long Xu Nian sneered, her hand stretched out. "I hope that you'll continue to be fine…."
Splash!
The bowl in Nan Hua's hand fell after wetting Long Xu Nian's hand. Nan Hua was looking at Long Xu Nian with cold and indifferent look. "My apologies, Miss Long, my hands are trembling due to fear."
Fear?
Nan Luo wanted to laugh but he restrained his laugh. How could he not know that Nan Hua had killed at least two assassins back then. She didn't even show any sign of fear when she was brandishing the sword and blood splattered.
How could she be afraid now that so much time had passed?
Long Xu Nian's face turned red. She was trying to spread the medicine powder in Nan Hua to make her itchy. But now that the soup had splashed to her hand, how should she do that?
And with Nan Hua's excuse, how could she dare to make a move and possibly make herself look even worse. Despite her anger, Long Xu Nian could only wrestle a smile out to Nan Hua.
"It's fine, Young Miss Nan… I wish you can rest."
"Please excuse me and my brother, Miss Long." Nan Hua curtsied and walked away with Nan Luo. It seemed that they were not supposed to eat outside if they didn't want to get into trouble.
Long Xu Nian's eyes gleamed in ruthlessness when she saw the twins retreated back. If only it was possible, she would have long lashed out to these two. The problem was that she had an image that she had to keep up as the young miss of Long Family.
She had already created too much trouble that Old Madam Long reprimanded her a lot about it. If she dared to do anything else, she might be locked in Long Family Residence and thus couldn't do anything else.
