Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"General," the soldier who were sparring with Nan Luo just now was stunned when he saw what was happening. He could see that Nan Luo was reaching his maximum speed that the boy used during the spar with him and yet, Nan Hua was still capable to match up with him.

Old Master Nan put his finger on his mouth. His eyes were also watching his grandchildren with a solemn expression. When he found out about Nan Luo's talent, he had been surprised and delighted because it was rare for a child his age to be so good. It was just like raw blade waiting to be polished.

But now that he saw Nan Hua…

He had seen his granddaughter watching her twin brother's training. Her eyes were following his movement carefully as if studying him. Now that the two of them were sparring, it was clear that Nan Hua was very familiar with Nan Luo's move as she easily moved to the tricky location and caused Nan Luo's attack to be weakened.

This…

Old Master Nan looked at his subordinate. "No words about this outside, Hou Liang."

"Yes, General!" Hou Liang knew that Old Master Nan longed for a successor and found Nan Luo to be a very good successor. But now that they had seen Nan Hua talent, it was such a waste that she was born a girl.

If she was a boy, she would have been able to train freely and achieve a lot of military achievement.

Hmm, wait?

Old Master Nan's eyes narrowed. This was in the middle of war and he had met with a female general from another kingdom prior to this. Perhaps… he would be able to produce a future female general?

Thump!

Nan Hua jumped back, her hand was slightly trembling. The attacks from Nan Luo were not that much but her small hand had limited strength that didn't allow her to block everything. There were many that she should have evaded since her brother didn't hold back.

"Ah…" Nan Luo noticed his little sister's hand trembled. He stopped and lowered his sword. "Sister! Are you alright? Should I call a doctor? Your hand is trembling! I didn't mean to be so rough, AH!"

Bletak!

Old Master Nan had hit his grandson's head. He glared at his grandson. "You're lucky that Hua'er has lower strength than you or you'll end up on the ground wailing."

"But…" Nan Luo held his head with an aggrieved expression. Even if it was the case, why did his grandfather have to hit him, ah?

Old Master Nan picked Nan Hua up and pulled the sword away. He held her arm tenderly as if he was afraid that even a little more strength will break it. His expression looked like he had just found a treasure.

"Grandfather?" Nan Hua asked.

"Come, come, let's go inside and soak your hand. Don't worry, the pain will be gone before you know it."

Looking at his grandfather treating his sister tenderly but treated him roughly, Nan Luo rolled his eyes. However, he would not complain as long as the one who received his grandfather's attention was his twin sister and not his step sisters or step brothers from his father's concubines.

Hmph, if grandfather dared to show affection to those b*stard, he would ignore his grandfather!

Nan Hua was perplexed by her grandfather sudden increase in affection. He looked like he wanted to hug her continuously and also apply the medicine by himself. Then her brother too…

"Grandpa, I'll be the one to put the medicine to Hua'er!"

"What are you saying, your hand is so small. How can you put the medicine properly?"

"But Grandpa, your hand is too big compared to Hua'er! Ah, stop hitting me or I'll turn stupid! Old Hou, help me!"

Hou Liang, the soldier whom Old Master Nan brought to spar with Nan Luo, merely let out a bitter smile and shook his head. He could see that these three were just fooling around and thus a smile formed at the corner of his lips.

It was much better to see a heartwarming family rather than those families whose family members would not hesitate to stab each other's back.

After it was done, they all had their dinner and Nan Hua returned to her residence. On the other hand, Old Master Nan called Hou Liang, the shadow guard, and also Nan Luo to his study.

"Grandpa, why are you calling me here? I don't deserve more punishment!" Nan Luo quickly clowned.

Old Master Nan reached out his hand to hit Nan Luo's head but the boy had run to the other side of the room. "Ah, no hitting! No hitting!"

"You're really a brat." Old Master Nan shook his head. "What do you think of Hua'er skill, Luo?"

"Ah?" Nan Luo scratched the back of his head before grinning. "She's good and she's capable to match up with my speed. It's nice!"

He had been finding it hard to fight the soldiers because of the difference in height. But when he was fighting with Nan Hua, he could utilize the movement that was directed to someone of the same height easily.

It felt much better than when he was fighting against the soldiers.

Old Master Nan nodded. He also felt that way. "Would you like to continue sparring with Hua'er?"

"Yes!" Nan Luo nodded his head rigorously.

"If you want to be a match of her, you'll have to increase your night training."

"Ah?" Why did the topic change to this?
