146 I’m Not Convinced!

Feng Ao Kuai's answer was succinct and simple, but it had given Feng Ao Si everything that he needed to know. His younger brother was serious… does it mean that he would lose all hope to recruit his younger brother into his army in the future?

Feng Ao Si had completely forgotten that his younger brother couldn't even stand him as he pondered over the matter. There was no way Feng Ao Kuai would even want to stay in Feng Ao Si's army.

"How long do you want to stay here?" Feng Ao Kuai asked without moving his eyes from his books.

"Huh?"

"This is my room."

Feng Ao Si was speechless. He had the feeling that his younger brother was kicking him out of the room.

"Can't I stay here?"

"Your room is the other one."

…polite rejection.

Feng Ao Si could only drag his legs to the room next door while still pondering what Feng Ao Kuai told him. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't accept it.

"I'm not convinced! I'll challenge her tomorrow!"

'Hmm?'

Feng Ao Kuai naturally heard what his older brother said, but he didn't care. If Feng Ao Si was not convinced, he just has to be ready to face a beating tomorrow. And of course, he, Feng Ao Kuai, would never help his older brother out.

…

Nan Hua looked at her cousin, who came to her early in the morning, with indifferent expression. It was already rare enough for her cousins to come and visit and now, Feng Ao Si was standing in front of her quarter.

His face was flushed as if he was suffering heavy grievances.

"What is it?" Nan Hua asked in low tone. Behind her, Xiao Yun was also watching Feng Ao Si warily in fear that this young master would try to do something. She might not be a match against a man, but she would make sure to protect her young miss no matter what happened.

Feng Ao Si looked at Nan Hua. "I want to challenge you during practice later!"

"I see."

That's it?

Seeing Nan Hua's lack of response, Feng Ao Si was stunned. Before he could speak more, Nan Luo had already rushed over and stood before Nan Hua. His eyes when looking at Feng Ao Si was filled with indignation.

"Why are you doing bothering Hua'er early in the morning, ah? If you want to say anything, you can wait until it's time for us to practice in Ning Shu Pavilion!" Nan Luo protested.

Feng Ao Si furrowed his eyebrows. "I just want to let her prepare…."

"Brother, you haven't even had your breakfast yet," Feng Ao Kuai said from behind. He had also come rushing when he heard that Feng Ao Si came here. Upon seeing his older brother was indeed as stupid as he usually was, Feng Ao Kuai felt like he really wanted to trade his older brother's brain with someone else.

"Ah, that's…"

"Eat first."

"…Yes." Feng Ao Si shuddered when he saw the cold gaze on Feng Ao Kuai's eyes. He could only instruct his servants to follow him and prepare his breakfast.

Nan Luo scoffed when he saw Feng Ao Si went away. "Did he have any problem in his head? Challenging a woman when he's a man!"

"Big Brother has always been doing things using unconventional method, please forgive him." Feng Ao Kuai also sighed. The role of older brother and younger brother had always switched when it came to the two of them.

Nan Hua nodded.

She wondered what these two would say to cover up this matter and it seemed that they were quick witted. Not all the servants in Nan Family Residence were people who were truly loyal.

There were many spies.

What would happen if word leaked out that Feng Ao Si challenged the young miss?

"He must be adamant to have Grandfather asked him to copy the scripture again." Nan Luo sneered. "Hua'er, let's eat first! Grandpa has been waiting."

"May I join in?" Feng Ao Kuai asked.

Nan Luo turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai. For some reason, he felt that this quiet cousin of his was getting more talkative than ever before. Was it only his feeling or was it really the truth?

"Sure."

In any case, he was not as annoying as that Feng Ao Si.

Thus, they all joined the breakfast in Ning Shu Pavilion. All except for Feng Ao Si who had to eat by himself before coming over. Of course, when he heard that the others were eating together, he felt heartbroken.

"Ao Si, copy the book again after practice today." Old Master Nan looked at his grandson and sighed. Just who did this boy take over for him to be so tactless? He turned to look at his daughter but didn't think that it was the case, right?

Nan Si Qiao noticed her father's gaze and raised her eyebrows in response. "What is it, Father?"

"It's nothing. Would you like to watch the kids practice today?"

"Hmm?"

"You might be able to see something interesting." Old Master Nan watched as the four kids returned to the back and stretched. He could guess that there must be a reason as to why Feng Ao Si suddenly challenged Nan Hua like that.

Now, he was interested to figure out why.

"If you don't mind me knowing, I will take up this offer." Nan Si Qiao smiled.

"I don't mind. I just hope that you can help her to cover up."

"No problem. Coincidentally, I have several poems book that I want to teach Hua'er today." Nan Si Qiao smiled even brighter.

Old Master Nan thought about Feng Ao Si learning poems and sighed. His daughter could be quite ruthless at times too.

"Are you ready?" Feng Ao Si asked after they had finished their warm up. There were no one in this Ning Shu Pavilion aside from the four of them, Old Master Nan, Nan Si Qiao, Hou Liang, and the hidden Hou Lin. The other servants had returned first.

"You can start." Nan Hua was calm.

Bang!
