418 Bantering

"I see."

Looking at the children's expression, Old Master Nan knew that they didn't plan on leaking the truth of that name list because they couldn't explain how they got it. It was not like they couldn't, but if they said the truth, Dark Moon Organization would be latched onto their tails.

Even if they washed themselves in the Yellow River, it was impossible for them to wash this away once it was revealed.

Nan Family would be subjected to even more critique.

"How are you going to cover it up, Grandpa?" Nan Luo asked in a pitiful tone.

Old Master Nan's lips twitched when he saw his grandson acting like that. He had the feeling that he would like it very much if he could punish Nan Luo once more. It was unfortunate that his little grandson was wounded.

"It's not going to be leaked." Old Master Nan waved his hand. "I'll just say that you manage to convince the soldiers one way or another."

"Alright."

"That didn't sound bad, Grandpa."

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He also knew that from the moment he used that name list, he would be put into questioning repeatedly. It was not like he wanted to let things happen this way, but the situation forced him to do it.

He glanced in Nan Hua's direction. However, he could see that she was lowering her head and focused on staring at the food. It was as if the conversation here didn't have any relation whatsoever with her.

'Fine.'

Since she didn't want to tell, he would not pester her.

Thus, Feng Ao Kuai also stayed silent.

Old Master Nan asked about some matter regarding their escape and also plan. Upon hearing that Nan Hua had somehow got a body double for herself, he was a bit speechless. It seemed that his granddaughter was getting further and further away from him like this.

"Hua'er."

Nan Hua raised her head. "Yes, Grandfather."

"Come over here."

Seeing her grandfather beckoning for her to come closer, Nan Hua blinked her eyes. It was the same gesture as the one he did in the past when he wanted Nan Hua to sit on his lap. However, Nan Hua was no longer the same little girl.

She was almost 13 years old.

Old Master Nan continued to plead with his eyes, making Nan Hua unable to refuse. Ever since she accepted them as her family members, she had been trying so hard to make sure that she could get close. It was awkward for her, but Nan Hua accepted it when her grandfather wanted to hug her, pat her, or even carry her.

Slowly but surely, Nan Hua jumped down from her chair and walked towards Old Master Nan.

Comparing her height with Old Master Nan, the difference was still very big. It was because Old Master Nan was also tall and muscular while Nan Hua was lean even though she was also quite powerful.

Due to this matter, she still looked rather small.

Old Master Nan picked Nan Hua and put her on his lap. His smile turned wider as he patted the girl's head. "We're going to depart from Kuai City soon. Do you have anything you want me to buy for you here?"

It was harder for a noble girl to even walk around freely. Because of that, Old Master Nan was thinking of buying something for his granddaughter. Whatever she wanted didn't matter to him because for him, he wanted to pamper her so much.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "There are some herbs that only exist in this area."

"Give me the list and I'll buy it for you."

"Grandpa, just leave it to me!" Nan Luo interjected. How could he possibly let his grandfather score more points with his twin sister? "I can walk around just fine to buy the herbs!"

"You're wounded."

"It's just my right hand!"

Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Luo seriously. "The doctor told you to rest easy. Leave buying the herbs to me. I'll make sure to buy enough for Nan Hua to use for a long time."

"But…"

"Luo, you're a patient." Nan Hua looked at her twin brother.

With Nan Hua's words, Nan Luo could only lower his head and nodded dejectedly. If he had a dog ear on his head, it must have lowered because of his dejected mood just now.

Feng Ao Kuai snorted. "Grandfather, you still have a lot of work, so let me be the one to buy the herbs."

Seeing Feng Ao Kuai's serious face, Old Master Nan's lips twitched. He was trying to pamper his granddaughter, why did his grandsons had to step in and take the chance from him?

"No way! I can still spare some time!"

Knock! Knock!

"Master, there are more people who wants to meet you."

Old Master Nan: "…"

At this moment, Nan Luo nearly laughed out loudly. He knew that their grandfather wanted to show off in front of Nan Hua so much, but it failed so miserably that the soldier even stopped them.

Feng Ao Kuai still had a serious and solemn expression, but his shoulder shook a bit. It was clear that he was also repressing his urge to laugh.

"Both of you are going to have snow training when we got back to Wind City." Old Master Nan snorted as he let Nan Hua down from his lap.

"Why?" Nan Luo was stunned.

Feng Ao Kuai's face also darkened when he heard this. Their snow training last year was hell and he didn't really have any intention of repeating the same thing again.

It was only after seeing their dark expression did Old Master Nan felt better. He would not admit that he was having fun teasing these two little brats, though. The training was simply good for them.

On the other hand, Nan Hua caught something else. She was a bit confused by her grandfather's words. "We're not going to the Capital City?"
