[1] Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Ch 166 - 170

C166 - Decide For Yourself

"I understand."

"Even if you find the number difficult to accept, you have to follow it strictly."

Zhang Dan Shui's lips twitched when he heard what Nan Hua said. For some reason, he felt that whatever number that she put inside, it would be something that he couldn't accept normally.

Nan Hua didn't explain much. "There'll be someone who come to help you later. They'll make sure that the first project will be done within three years' time."

In fact, Nan Hua wanted it to be faster, but Zhang Dan Shui would have to have enough connection first for the project to start. She had to be patient.

"Ah, alright." Zhang Dan Shui had already kept the skin in his sleeve since he didn't want anyone to find out about it. He looked at Nan Hua for some time before asking, "Young Miss, should I return to the Capital City in the future?"

No matter how glorious the position as governor was, it could never be compared to the position of royal official. Zhang Dan Shui knew that very well but he didn't really look favorably upon his return. This place was good and his mother's condition improved when he came here.

Nan Hua looked back. "You may decide. Do you want to have unshakable position in Heng Xing City or used it as your stepping stone to return?"

Zhang Dan Shui was stunned and couldn't answer. He looked at the two children in front of him incredulously but since both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si had returned, he ceased to ask more from the young girl.

"Hua'er, look! The flowers are beautiful." Nan Luo presented the flowers he picked. He only picked three since he could see the gardener looked like his child was taken away and Nan Luo had no intention of taking too many.

Nan Hua nodded and took it. "Thank you, Luo."

Nan Luo grinned but didn't say anything more. He had already seen Feng Ao Kuai glaring at him, warning him to not go overboard.

"I have already told Grandfather. Let's go back," Feng Ao Si said after he returned. He looked at Zhang Dan Shui once but then ignored the other party.

"I understand."

The group returned with Old Master Nan.

Zhang Dan Shui stood rooted in his place, not sure what he was supposed to do. He turned to look at his friend and was stunned to see Yu Fei Rong looked like he had lost half of his soul.

"Official Yu, are you alright?"

Yu Fei Rong waved his hand. "It's not that bad, but talking with General Nan is a bit overwhelming."

"I see." Zhang Dan Shui was not surprised. When he was talking with Nan Hua alone, he already felt pressure. If he had to talk with Old Master Nan, he was absolutely sure that he wouldn't be able to survive even for a moment and already ended up break in cold sweat.

"There's no meeting today, so I will return first. Please excuse me, Vice Governor Zhang."

"You may go."

Zhang Dan Shui exchanged some pleasantries with the others before he goes back home. His home was a rather big residence in Heng Xing City. While the quality couldn't be compared to the one in the Capital City, the size alone was already very big.

When he was in the Capital City, he would never even dream of having a residence this big. Compared to the small courtyard his father gave him and his mother, this place was several times bigger.

"Mother," Zhang Dan Shui called out.

"Ah Shui?" A soothing voice come from inside and a middle aged woman came out. She looked pleasantly surprised when she saw Zhang Dan Shui and a smile formed on her lips, showing a beautiful smile. Despite the wrinkles that had started to form, she was undoubtedly a very beautiful woman.
