Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Long Qian Xing narrowed his eyes. "Do they really say that?"

Since when was Nan Luo this sharp?

"Yes, Young Master."

Since that was the case, Long Qian Xing nodded. "In that case, bring them inside."

"Yes, Young Master."

The servant led Nan Luo and Nan Hua inside. Their two servants were following from a considerable distance to make sure that they didn't disturb these two in the slightest bit.

Nan Hua's eyes landed on the basin as her keen smell recognized the herbs being used. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she could sense that they were purging the poison while also giving him some antidote.

"First Young Master Nan, First Young Miss Nan, my apologies for my inability to welcome you in better condition," Long Qian Xing immediately apologized.

"It's not your fault, Young Master Long." Nan Luo cupped his fist. His gaze towards Long Qian Xing was obviously still filled with dissatisfaction and also annoyance. How could he act kind towards someone who was aiming to steal his twin sister?

Long Qian Xing naturally knew that Nan Luo disliked him because of Nan Hua, so he never paid much heed. In his opinion, it was rather cute for these two siblings to act this way just because he was her fiancé.

The concept of fiancé in the future was similar but it was naturally more open and not like here where it was so rigid.

"May I ask the reason for you to come here, First Young Master Nan?"

"I come because my sister is worried about you." Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua, who had walked towards the herbs. He really wanted to remind his twin sister to at least greeted the young master first.

Why did she walk towards the herbs directly?

"First Young Miss Nan?" Long Qian Xing noticed that Nan Hua was holding the herbs. "There's no need to worry, I'll be…umph!"

Nan Hua used her hand to shove one of the herbs that was prepared there to Long Qian Xing's mouth. At the age of 13, Long Qian Xing was only slightly taller than her. After all, boys grew up later than girls, so Long Qian Xing's height hadn't had much increase. It was not hard for her to shove the herbs to his mouth.

"Young Master!" The attendant was stunned.

But Long Qian Xing raised his other hand to stop him. He was looking at Nan Hua with both curiosity and confusion.

"Eating it is faster than soaking."

Long Qian Xing really wanted to say that he had some immunity, so it was fine for him to just soak in medicine. But seeing Nan Hua's dark obsidian eyes, he swallowed the herbs. It tasted bitter and smell foul, but Long Qian Xing's expression didn't change in the slightest bit.

Rather, it looked as if he had gotten used to something like that.

"Hua'er, at least greet him first," Nan Luo reminded helplessly. "My apologies for my sister's rudeness, Young Master Long."

Despite apologizing, Nan Luo's tone was clearly filled with dissatisfaction. He was currently feeling annoyed to see Nan Hua directly fed Long Qian Xing with a precious herb. Her hand was touching his mouth!

Curse that Long Qian Xing!

Nan Luo was really itching to cut Long Qian Xing into pieces because he was staying so close to his twin sister.

"It's fine." Long Qian Xing could sense that the numbness had disappeared. It seemed that eating was indeed faster than just soaking. He lifted his hand from the basin and then turned to look at the steward. "Clean this up."

"Y…Yes, Young Master." The steward felt chills creeping him from the back as he quickly carried the basin away along with the other herbs that he had took out. For some reason, he felt trepidation when Long Qian Xing was staring at him even though the young master didn't emit any killing intent or anything like that.

Long Qian Xing then smiled at Nan Hua. "Is my fiancée worried about me?"

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing. "Stupid."

Pfft!

Right now, Nan Luo couldn't hold back as he burst out laughing. To think that Nan Hua would call someone stupid right in front of his face. At this time, all the grievances he felt because Nan Hua was getting so close to Long Qian Xing had been mostly washed away.

"…Why do you call me so?" Long Qian Xing was speechless and couldn't react in time. He felt that the little girl in front of him was really unique.

"You're too kind," Nan Hua said seriously.

Long Qian Xing: "…" for the first time someone said to him that he was too kind.

He was feeling a bit amused but he could guess that Nan Hua must have known that Long Xu Nian didn't treat him well. In addition, the steward was actually Long Xu Nian's people who was there to make things difficult for him.

No wonder he didn't feel much better even after soaking into the water filled with herbs.

"I'm not careful enough. Don't worry about me. Those who try to take something from me will never end well." Long Qian Xing chuckled lightly. He was still giving off the gentlemanly feeling, yet the smile on his face didn't show any mirth in his eyes.

Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows. He felt that the appearance of Long Qian Xing in front of him was so fake. There was also a faint sense of danger that he only sensed when those assassins come.

"I'm not worried."

He's the main lead of the story, how could he dies so easily?

"I understand."

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing then to her twin brother. "Let's go and eat something. It's time for lunch."

"Mhm, we'll excuse ourselves, Young Master Long. However, I would like it if you don't get into trouble so often." Nan Luo looked at Long Qian Xing and smiled faintly. He didn't want his sister to purposely looked for Long Qian Xing like this again in the future.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows then smiled. "Since Young Miss Nan had helped me, it wouldn't be good if I didn't help you out."

"There's no need for that."

"There's a good restaurant nearby that belonged to Long Family. Would you like to eat together, First Young Miss Nan?"

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing. "You'll pay?"

Long Qian Xing was amused when he heard that. "Sure, I'll pay for you two."

"Ok."

Nan Luo looked at his twin sister speechlessly. Did he just see his sister being conned by a young man just like that? Did she know what she was promising him?

"Hua'er, we're not lacking money at all! Grandpa also give us a lot of money to eat," Nan Luo whispered.

"He's paying his debt." Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo and tilted her head slightly. In her opinion, Long Qian Xing only treated them to eat because they had helped him to expose another person of Long Xu Nian's side.

Nan Luo was speechless.

As he was unable to say anything else, he could only follow as Long Qian Xing led them to the restaurant at the building not far from them. Nan Luo looked at Long Qian Xing with brows furrowed.

"Don't you need to be present during the celebration?"

"Ah? There's no need to worry about that." Long Qian Xing smiled faintly. "Wen Family had asked for us to not be present after sending the bride away because they didn't want people to look down on them."

Wen Family standing was lower than Long Family. While they were still a pretty good family, they really couldn't be compared to Long Family. Since Long Qian Xing was nothing more than a youth while Old Madam Nan was already too old to walk around, they had said generously that these two didn't have to come for the last part. Besides… Long Qian Xing couldn't drink and would not be allowed to participate because of his young age.

Rather than wasting his time in his residence, eating in the restaurant sounded pretty good.

"Oh."

The twins were not that surprised. Because they were children, they were often exempted from many things. One of them was going to the marriage party and had to wait outside because it was not suitable for their ages.

Since that was the case, why should they put on face?

"Are you not worried that people will start talking about you?"

"I don't think the focus of attention will fall to me." Long Qian Xing chuckled. The Wen Family was much more interesting rather than a small rising commander like him. There were also several other youths in Fei Yang Kingdom who had higher status than him. i????n????????α????. C????????

Many of them also achieved some military achievement and naturally awarded with some reward such as military rank or even nobility rank.

"Hmm?"

Nan Luo was confused but Long Qian Xing didn't explain any further.. When they heard the news tomorrow, they would know.
