190 Battle Against Long Qian Xing

Nan Hua was speechless.

She was not Nan Luo and naturally didn't need to care about it. However, there was indeed another problem.

She couldn't ride horse.

There was no horse riding lesson in the modern world, so the only chance for her to learn was in this world. As a young girl, there was no way Old Master Nan would allow her to learn how to ride horse yet.

Thus, she didn't know to ride horse.

Feng Ao Kuai also noticed Nan Hua's action and nodded his head. "Yes, if you want to take a leave, we'll accompany you back."

"I thought you like horse riding?" Feng Ao Si was stumped as he looked at his younger brother in confusion. While Feng Ao Kuai might be bad at normal martial arts, he liked to ride horse, which was why his skill was better than most people.

"The weather is too dark today."

Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes then looked at the sky. He definitely saw the sky was exceptionally bright today. Was the weather really that bad for them to be unable to even practice properly?

Seeing how dumb his older brother was, Feng Ao Kuai began to wonder whether he was born in the wrong family. However, he shook that thought in the next moment because he knew that they simply inherited from their mother and father.

Their mother, Nan Si Qiao, was rather bad at using her brain.

Their father, General Feng, was better that using his brain. If not because of that, he wouldn't have become a general and thrive up until this day.

"First Young Master Nan, are you not planning on participating in the training?"

Hearing that familiar voice, the three of them turned around. As expected, they could see Long Qian Xing walked closer to them. This time, he was wearing dark blue robes with an armor to protect his chest, arms and also legs. Those who didn't know better might think that the young master of Long Family was going for war.

While lacking a helmet.

"Nan Luo greets Young Commander Long." Nan Hua cupped her fist in accordance to the etiquette for boys. "My wounds haven't fully healed for me to do horse riding again. It's only enough for me to walk around normally, Young Commander Long."

"Is that so?" Long Qian Xing's eyes glanced at Nan Hua's legs. He could definitely sense that 'Nan Luo' legs were fine. It seemed that the young 'boy' truly didn't want to stay here and participate in the training.

"Yes."

"In that case, how about a light spar with me before you return?"

Nan Hua didn't answer immediately. She was merely looking at Long Qian Xing as she calculated whether she really wanted to fight against him or not. Truthfully, this was a chance that she didn't want to miss.

Though, this would put her twin brother in a difficult situation.

"May I limit it to 10 moves?"

"Sure."

"I'll take the wooden sword!" Feng Ao Si jogged to the side and retrieved two wooden swords. He looked at the two of them curiously as he handed the swords, one for Nan Hua and the other one for Long Qian Xing.

Swish! Swish!

Nan Hua swung the sword and tried to recall Nan Luo's usual performance. He was a brash young man who loved to strike first. His movement was often still a bit too quick or slow compared to her. At times, he even preferred large moves.

If Nan Luo knew that Nan Hua was already exceptionally familiar with his attacks, he would be crying buckets.

It was no wonder that Nan Hua always managed to overthrow him in his attacks. It was precisely because Nan Hua was already oddly familiar with all of his movements and could guess where would move next.

"Ready?" Long Qian Xing asked when he saw 'Nan Luo' was swinging the sword around.

Nan Hua turned to look at Long Qian Xing as she readied herself. She silently calculated Nan Luo's speed and then dashed towards Long Qian Xing when he also nodded his head.

The battle had started.

Tak!

Long Qian Xing had long gotten used to surprise attack. 'Nan Luo's slow attack' was subpar in comparison. However, he then realized that 'Nan Luo' had already stopped his movement and twisted his body, swinging the sword in unpredictable trajectory once more.

Swish!

Evading to the side, Long Qian Xing proceeded to counterattack.

Nan Hua saw the location that Long Qian Xing aimed and evaded it with minimal movements. While she was indeed tried to imitate Nan Luo to the fullest, it was a bit impossible for her to copy his reflex.

Because of the hellish training that Nan Hua experienced ever since she was young and the countless experience of wars, her reflex had been trained to the extreme. Even when she was limiting herself, she was still faster than how Nan Luo could be.

Tak! Tak!

The sword attack from the two sides met each other cleanly in the middle.

"Is Nan Luo always this good?" Feng Ao Si was also stunned. He felt that 'Nan Luo' looked a bit faster than usual. It was as if the young boy gained some kind of enlightenment after suffering from falling of the horse.

Feng Ao Kuai didn't respond. While the movements looked no different than the usual Nan Luo, the reaction speed that Nan Hua showed was above that of Nan Luo. It was clear that Nan Hua was limiting herself.

Or the difference would be even more glaring than this.

Tak!

"It's already ten moves." Nan Hua jumped back. She looked at Long Qian Xing as she had gauged a bit of his power. "Thank you for holding back, Young Commander Long."

Long Qian Xing looked at 'Nan Luo' deeply. Back when he fully beaten up the boy, he had seen that Nan Luo's reaction speed was slower. It was instinct and hard to train, so he was surprised to see that the young boy had grown so much.

If this was the case….
