Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower

Chapter 101 - Nan Shu Cheng Visit

"That's a relief." Song Chuan smiled. "General Chi's endeavor has been known by a lot of people. With him at the frontline to take care of the rebellions, we'll surely be victorious."

Old Master Nan's lips twitched as he realized that the young man named Song Chuan was really eloquent. He had bad memory when dealing with people who were smart at using their mouths, so he merely nodded.

"Please prepare a place first."

"Yes."

While Old Master Nan led the soldiers to inspect the area and prepare place for them to stay, Long Qian Xing's attention was on Song Chuan. It was to the point that the young man felt a bit uncomfortable.

"If you don't mind, how about if we have some talk, Minister Song?"

Song Chuan was stunned. He smiled weakly. "Young Commander, I'm not a minister yet. It's my father's position."

Long Qian Xing nodded. "Since you're the one who had stepped forward, I think something happened?"

"It's..."

Old Master Nan didn't follow the conversation of the two youths. He did ask Hou Liang to investigate more about Song Chuan and this city, though. When it was night time, he received the result of the short investigation that was done.

"Song Chuan is the son of Minister Song, the local governor in this city. Minister Song fell from his horse on the first day of battle, so Song Chuan took charge by taking the lead. Right now, Minister Song is still recuperating."

"How old is Song Chuan?"

"Replying to Master, Song Chuan is 18 years old this year."

18 years old.

Old Master Nan nodded. He didn't think that he would meet with a very capable youth when he was just doing this duty like this. However, striking a conversation with that Song Chuan didn't feel that comfortable to him. The young man aura reminded him of someone whom he wanted to stay away at all cost.

"Long Qian Xing is still talking with him?"

"Yes. If I'm allowed to presume, Young Commander Long might be interested in pulling Song Chuan to his group who will support the One."

"It might be a good decision, but he's too young." Old Master Nan smiled bitterly. Song Chuan was still not an adult yet based on the current era's tradition. In other words, even if Song Chuan were to be pulled to Long Qian Xing's group, it would take another year or two before he could be useful.

"Master, would you like to..."

"I'm not interested to be pulled in their game." Old Master Nan waved his hand. Rather than gathering people like what he did when he was young, he would rather spend his time to nurture his two grandchildren. Right now, his passion had died down and no longer as passionate as when he was still young.

Hou Liang didn't say anything else. He knew very well that Old Master Nan was already fairly old. When the general was young, he would surely take things into his own hand and try his best to make sure that he would win.

But now that he had already started to go advance in age, he no longer cared that much. He became more meticulous and careful in his steps, no longer daring to move forward without care.

"That said, tell Nan Luo to spend more time to search for friend in the academy. It wouldn't do him any good if he only stuck with Hua'er all the time." Old Master Nan recalled his grandson and gave instruction.

"Yes, Master."

If Nan Luo was here, he would have chocked. He didn't do anything and yet he had to bear the brunt of his grandfather deciding things for him. Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂/p/ters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏(.)c/𝒐/m
