Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower - Chapter 2137 Childish

2137  Childish

Nan Hua shook her head when she saw Old Master Nan’s performance. Sometimes, Nan Hua felt that Old Master Nan is really childish.

But this kind of childishness was actually quite good in her opinion. Because she could see that Old Master Nan was also having fun with his actions.

“Old Master, someone from the Imperial Palace is looking for you.”

Old Master Nan was dumbfounded. “Did he look for me again?” Old Master Nan mourned for a moment.

He just wanted a quiet life now but Emperor Yang Zhou kept on looking for him, asking for advice.

Nan Hua saw her grandfather deflated and patted his hand. “Grandpa, the Imperial Family is still important.”

The most important matter for survival was to know themselves and their position. This was something that Nan Hua had learned and knew very well. It was also very important in this era because if they didn’t put themselves in the right position, they might risk falling over and possibly dying. Old Master Nan sighed and nodded.

As much as Old Master Nan wanted to stay back and didn’t answer this edict, he knew that it was impossible.

Soon, the eunuch came and announced the verbal order from Emperor Yang Zhou. “Enter the Imperial Palace again?” Old Master Nan sighed and nodded. “Wait for me back, Hua’er.”

“You will be fine, Grandpa.” Nan Hua glanced at her grandfather. She knew very well that Emperor Yang Zhou had no malicious intention towards the Nan Family as a whole. In this way, Nan Hua also knew that it was impossible for Emperor Yang Zhou to hurt Old Master Nan.

The main reason for calling him should be related to the question that Emperor Yang Zhou asked to her and the answer that she gave to him. Now that the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom were over, Nan Hua planned to take a long break and relax.

However, some people still couldn’t relax.

One of them was naturally Fei Yang Kingdom’s Emperor.

His dream has not been achieved yet. “Of course, I will.” Old Master Nan raised his head. “I’m very strong and powerful. What could happen to me?”

Nan Hua: “…”

She silently took a step back.

Who’s this shameless old man?

Nan Hua pretended to not know Old Master Nan.

Even Hou Lin who were hiding at the side also silently looked at the sky. When Old Master Nan was being unreasonable, it could make people speechless. “Haha.” Old Master Nan laughed and then coughed. “Alright, do your own thing, Hua’er.”

…

<Fei Yang Kingdom’s Imperial Palace>

Old Master Nan knew that Nan Hua still has some things to do.

Anyway, he couldn’t bother his granddaughter all the time. Even though Old Master Nan wished that he could spend the rest of time Nan Hua had before her marriage together with Nan Hua, she knew that it would not be possible. Nan Hua has her own things to do.

He couldn’t possibly take her entire time.

Going to the Imperial Palace again, Old Master Nan saw Emperor Yang Zhou as already waiting for him.

“Your Majesty,” Old Master Nan greeted politely and cupped his fist in accordance to etiquette.

“There’s no need to be so polite, Great General Nan,” Emperor Yang Zhou said with a smile on his face. “I would like to ask you a few questions.”

As expected.

Old Master Nan sighed deeply in his mind. He really hoped that his old friends were still alive now so that they could be the one being called by Emperor Yang Zhou. In regards to management and many other things, Old Master Nan has never been very good. He was just a general who fought on the frontline ever since he was young and had no time to care about other things.

If he was asked these things, Old Master Nan was sure that he wouldn’t be able to answer even one question. “Yes, Your Majesty,” Old Master Nan could only answer this way and tried his best to answer whatever question Emperor Yang Zhou planned to ask him. Emperor Yang Zhou nodded at Old Master Nan’s attitude. “I would like to ask some questions regarding the new generations. Would you happen to know anyone who would be suitable to lead people on the battlefield?”

Huh? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Old Master Nan was confused.

He hadn’t been on the battlefield for so many years and even if he did see some promising people, they would have grown up by now. After all, Old Master Nan didn’t really specifically pay attention to anyone else other than his grandsons and granddaughters.

In other words, he had no time to care for them. “Your Majesty, I haven’t been on the frontline for a long time. I’m not familiar with the commanders there,” Old Master Nan replied.

The few people he truly know should have retired by now. After all, they were either around his ages or around his son in law’s age. They were no longer young and Old Master Nan didn’t think that they would be active on the battlefield when they were much older. At least, like him, they retired early and spent their time with their family.

Or simply live in seclusion.

Some of them did that and Old Master Nan knew that everyone’s desires were different. “What I want is the name of the few people whom you think talented from a few years ago,” Emperor Yang Zhou replied. Old Master Nan’s eyes flickered as he guessed what Emperor Yang Zhou wanted to do.

He should have wanted to see how was the performance of the people whom Old Master Nan thought to be talented. But even if Old Master Nan felt that someone was quite talented, it doesn’t necessary mean that they would be successful. Because these people were all still at low rank back then and anything could happen on their path forward. The battlefield has never been kind.

Because the swords have no eyes.
