1052 Worth

Nan Luo's mouth gaped open.

He couldn't believe he had just heard those words coming out of Feng Ao Kuai's mouth. Was this really the same annoying cousin who was just too smart for his own good? He felt that he was looking at a person who had high wisdom.

"You... how did you even think of that?"

"I don't."

"Huh?"

"Those are Grandfather's words," Feng Ao Kuai admitted calmly.

Nan Luo: "..."

And here I thought that you suddenly grew a few degrees smarter than how you used to be. As it turned out, it was Grandfather's words.

If it was Old Master Nan, Nan Luo wouldn't think that it was strange. Even though Old Master Nan was already advanced in age, the fact that he only has one wife without any concubine was known to many people.

Some people said that he was a war maniac.

They felt that he liked war too much to care about children.

There were even rumors saying that Old Master Nan felt pleasure by killing people.

Even though these were not true, Nan Luo would feel like beating up anyone who dared to say anything like that. And he really couldn't do anything to change other people's opinion. There would always be someone who didn't like Old Master Nan.

After all, being a general meant that their hand was stained with the blood of countless people.

People only saw that it was a high and scary position.

What they didn't notice was the struggle behind everyone who managed to rise this up to this position.

When Nan Luo was born, his grandmother had already passed away. He only knew about her from his mother and aunt who told the story about Old Master Nan's wife.

He didn't take any concubine because he only loves his wife.

Loves.

Even until now, Nan Luo could remember the pain in his grandfather's eyes whenever he was talking about his wife. He had never met her, but he could guess that she must be an amazing person based on how Old Master Nan seemed to care so much about her.

He didn't dare to speak carelessly about her either.

"Grandfather said it to you because of your arranged marriage, right?"

Feng Ao Kuai's face turned even darker. He looked at Nan Luo and showed a meaningful look. "When you took a fancy to someone, I'll let Hua'er measure her first."

Nan Luo was dumbfounded.

Before he could give any response, Feng Ao Kuai had walked into the room to see Nan Hua again.

"Damn it, Ao Kuai!"

At this moment, Nan Luo really hoped that when he did have some interest to the opposite gender, it wouldn't happen in front of Feng Ao Kuai. He was sure that at that time, Feng Ao Kuai would surely make him pay all the debts that he had accumulated so far.

"Hua'er." Feng Ao Kuai cupped his fist.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "They have finished their research. Soon, the Emperor of Zhang Xu Kingdom will change and at that time, they'll grow even more fiercer than before."

When Nan Luo entered the room, that was the sentence he heard. His eyelids twitched heavily. At this moment, he didn't care how Nan Hua knew about this as he was more worried about another matter. "Wait, Hua'er, do you mean that we won't be able to fight them head on anymore?"

"I didn't say that."

"But..."

"The number of casualties will increase." Nan Hua was thinking of that medicine that her senior sister mentioned to her. She knew very well that a lot of people will die because of this inherited technique.

But without her senior sister, no one would be able to use it perfectly anymore.

The number would be more limited.

"We'll be able to hold on." Feng Ao Kuai took a deep breath with his eyes flashed with determination.

Nan Hua shook her head. "Even you wouldn't be their match if it's a frontal battle. Try to avoid these soldiers as much as possible. If you couldn't help it, make sure that you slice their neck as it's the only method to stop them."

If the wound was not fatal enough to make them die in one attack, these people would still keep on attacking. They could never know where their limits lie. So all they could do was to continue advancing.

"Ok."

"Are you going to go now, Hua'er?" Nan Luo asked when he saw Nan Hua stood up. He felt a bit unwilling when he thought that Nan Hua would be leaving without telling anyone about it again.

Nan Hua didn't answer right away and looked at the bamboo tube that her senior sister gave to her. She had put it inside her robe back then but hadn't checked it yet.

Her senior sister told her to open it when she was ready.

Taking a deep breath, Nan Hua opened the bamboo tube and saw two bamboo scrolls stuffed together. She picked one of them and read the content, nodding after she was done.

Afterwards, she opened the second scroll. This time, Nan Hua took a bit longer to read and then she looked at the bamboo tube in front of her. Tilting the bamboo tube, a small necklace fell on Nan Hua's hand.

It looked unremarkable, but Nan Hua knew what this necklace meant.

She had never expected that the force under Chen Yuan was actually these people.

'But they're not under Luo Qing Wei inside the story.'

Nan Hua's eyes narrowed when she thought about it.

When Chen Yuan joined hands with Luo Qing Wei, she was practically alone. The force behind her were gone as if she had never them in the first place. Instead, it was someone else who had the force that previously worked for Chen Yuan.

Why is that?

Who's the person who supposed to obtain this necklace?

Nan Hua looked at the necklace in her hand, her eyes flickered for a moment before she turned around. "Luo, I'm going to fetch my niece."
