[1] Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Ch 811 - 815

Chapter 811: Nan Family Trial and Result (9)

He hadn't done well in educating his children back then and the result was this mess that caused him to be unable to do anything.        
   
Old Master Nan felt tired.    

Even if his grandchildren never blame him, he could never forgive himself for his action back then.    

These 'ifs' only bothered him.    

It will take some time for him to truly calm down.    

While Old Master Nan was lamenting his past mistake, Nan Hua was looking at the scene in front of her coldly. She had seen countless people die thorough her life. Many of them died at her own hands.    

Even if the person who died in front of her was her supposed father, she was not shaken at all.    

In her heart, there was never any place for Nan Shu Cheng.    

He was someone who would not even enter her eyes, much less her heart.    

"Hua'er, are you alright?"    

"Mhm, I'm fine, Brother Long." Nan Hua turned to look at Long Qian Xing with her clear black obsidian eyes. For a moment, she was confused by his question before she recalled her persona.    

Shouldn't she be a weak person who would feel weak even at the sight of blood?    

"…"    

Nan Hua really didn't want to act right now, but she still leaned her body towards her grandfather.    

As for why her grandfather and not Long Qian Xing?    

It was obviously she didn't have any intention to break the etiquette that had been drilled into her body by her aunt.    

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua's small gesture and showed a helpless smile. If only it was possible, he wanted to bring her into his arms and shield her from seeing the scene in front of them.    

However, he was sure that the officials around would criticize him should he do that.    

"MMPFHH!" (FATHER!)    

Nan Hou Xiang broke free from his struggle and screamed out loudly. He wanted to break free from his restrain, but the guard was faster than him.    

How could a pampered young master possibly win against a veteran soldier who had been tempered by the harsh battlefield? The probability was less than 0.00000000001%. In other words, it was absolutely impossible.    

Thunk!    

Nan Hou Xiang could feel his body turn cold when he saw his father's head rolling on the cold ground. He wanted to scream and yell, but he found himself unable to do anything. All he could do was to stare at the scene in front of him.    

Why?    

Why did things turn this way?    

Everything had been going so smoothly and he had even talked with his uncle just a few days ago. They had confirmed that everything was ready and that they would never be found out.        

Even if the Fei Yang Kingdom had noticed, it would have been too late and they would have left this kingdom.    

From the very beginning, Nan Hou Xiang never had much loyalty towards Fei Yang Kingdom. He was more a person who cared about the benefit he could get and also the few things that would benefit him directly.    

But now?    

It didn't seem to be that way anymore.    

Nan Hou Xiang was only 13 years old, but he had already started to involve himself in whatever his father and uncles were planning to do. He familiarized himself with everything so that he would be able to take over once he became an official.
