Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Settling down?

Nan Hua heard the question from her grandfather and turned her gaze towards Long Qian Xing in the distance. Because it was unsuitable for Long Qian Xing to pester her under the gaze of so many high ranked people, Long Qian Xing had been holding back.

However, it naturally didn't stop him from looking in Nan Hua's direction from time to time.

And from his expression, it was clear that he actually wanted to step forward but didn't dare in fear that Nan Hua would be bothered. Not to mention, there were many people who would be looking at them and in the current situation, the relationship between Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing couldn't be exposed.

Nan Hua's eyes flickered slightly.

She also felt quite tired after fighting at the frontline for so many years. Her people had spread and formed small groups one after another without these people knowing that they were actually under her.

Her foundation was already quite stable.

Was there any need for her to continue running to the frontline?

But when Nan Hua's thought reached that point, she thought about Luo Qing Wei and the upcoming war with Shi Long Kingdom.

Her gaze cooled down almost immediately.

"Yes."

"Will you settle down soon?" Old Master Nan asked in surprise. He thought that his granddaughter would be running around freely on the battlefield like what she had always done.

"After the war with Shi Long Kingdom is settled," Nan Hua replied. 

Hearing her answer, Old Master Nan was speechless.

After the war with Shi Long Kingdom is settled?

When would that be?

Old Master Nan didn't know what Emperor Yang Zhou was thinking, whether he wanted to target Fan Yi Kingdom or Shi Long Kingdom first. As for Qi Xi Kingdom? There was no way Emperor Yang Zhou would target them because of that secret agreement.

If Emperor Yang Zhou were to target Fan Yi Kingdom first, does it mean that Shi Long Kingdom would be last?

How many years would it take for the war to settle down? 5 years? 

That was already an optimistic estimation.

If Fei Yang Kingdom were to attack Shi Long Kingdom first, perhaps they could conquer it in two to three years if they were doing as well as they had been so far?

If they didn't do well, the war might be extended for a long period of time.

When Old Master Nan thought of this, he felt that the road for him to see his great grandchildren seemed to be far away.

Nan Hua looked at Old Master Nan and blinked her eyes. "I thought you don't want to marry your granddaughter away."

"I don't like the thought of pushing you to that pig." Old Master Nan snorted, glaring in Long Qian Xing's direction. The young man seemed to see the glare but could only respond by looking back helplessly.

Long Qian Xing could guess that they were talking about him, but there was nothing that he could do to respond.

"But I can't possibly hold you back forever." Old Master Nan sighed and looked like a wilted plant. "I also want to see you happy with your own family and not be dragged down by this old body."

"You'll never drag me down, Grandfather," Nan Hua said seriously. 

Her grandfather is the best in the entire world. No matter what, she would never agree with his words that he dragged her down. Even if he was old and could no longer do much, she would be the one to take care of him.

Anyway, he had raised her and this was the least she could do for him.

Old Master Nan looked at Nan Hua in satisfaction. "I know that Hua'er can't bear me. You're much better than that brat Luo."

Nan Luo, who was dragged out of nowhere, felt sudden chills in Liang City. He looked around him in confusion and after not finding anything strange, he continued with his training.

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and shook her head. She and Nan Luo were not ungrateful b*stard. Since Old Master Nan had raised them well, they would naturally also treat Old Master Nan very well.

As for Old Master Nan's childishness?

Just get used to it.

The older someone be, the more childish they can be. 

"But do you really want to wait for so long? You're already 18 years old." Old Master Nan frowned. If this was in the different world, 18 years old was naturally still very young and would be dragged even longer. But in this world, 16 years old was the norm so those who had dragged to 18 years old was rare.

Only those who couldn't find partner would usually drag this long.

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and added quietly, "I don't need the war to be over. As long as a certain organization can no longer stand up."

Old Master Nan blinked his eyes and wisely stopped talking about this matter.

Compared to Nan Hua who delved into the dark world amongst the ordinary, Old Master Nan was not that knowledgeable about the small organizations that was built in the dark. He only knew a few of them.

But from Nan Hua's words, Old Master Nan guessed that Nan Hua had some grudges with a certain organization in Shi Long Kingdom.

It was only after she had finished settling them would she consider settling down.

In that case, Old Master Nan will just help her out if she needed it.

"Do you need help?"

"No need. Grandpa should rest and don't think too much about the outside world." Nan Hua shook her head and smiled slightly. "I can handle it."

Old Master Nan looked at Nan Hua's smile and sighed internally. Seeing his granddaughter become more and more expressive, he felt really thankful.

Thankfully, the incident in her childhood would not shackle her.

Even if things were difficult, she still could break free and bloom beautifully.
