A Very Big Child
A Very Big Child
Nan Hua knew that words would be useless in this kind of matter. It was even more so for her twin brother who was ambitious and competitive. She just didn't want him to hurt himself because of his desire to get stronger and all.
"Your strongest opponent is yourself, Luo."
After saying that, Nan Hua walked towards the carriage in front of them and entered.
Nan Luo stood still.
No matter how powerful other people were, the one they had to defeat was eventually themselves. Striving to keep improving to see where their limit lies and not to force themselves to break the limit that was set for others.
A smile tugged on the corner of Nan Luo's lips.
Nan Hua might not look like she cared that much about those around her. But her way of caring to others was simply different. It didn't mean that she didn't care or anything like that, but her way of showing her care was simply a bit unique.
…
Old Master Nan ended up drinking quite a lot and had to be brought back by Hou Lin. Looking at the drunk Old Master Nan and then the drunk Feng Ao Si, he began to think that the two of them were children.
One very big children and one big children.
"Grandfather, you shouldn't drink so much." Nan Hua looked at her grandfather as Hou Lin helped him back to his quarter. Nan Luo was busy instructing the servants to take care of these two drunkards at home.
Both Nan Luo and Nan Hua were underage, so they didn't drink any alcohol or anything like that. But this actually caused them to be the one who had to take care of the two drunk people.
How tiring.
"I didn't drink that much." Old Master Nan waved his hand.
"Grandpa, drink some water." Nan Hua knew how useless it was to argue with drunk person. When one was drunk, their nerves were disrupted and their inhibition was also lowered.
It would cause them to do things they would normally not do when they were sober.
"I don't want to drink water. I'm not drunk," Old Master Nan refused and looked at the cup with frown.
"Grandpa." Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and silently took out her needles. Thanks to Traveling Doctor Liu, she knew a few ways to help a drunk person to digest the alcohol faster in their body so that they would be sober earlier.
Still, she didn't really want to do this if it was unnecessary.
"If you don't want to drink, I'll give you needles."
Old Master Nan stared at the needles in Nan Hua's hand and somehow was reminded of his dark history when Old Madam Long treated him. He shuddered and quickly take the cup that Nan Hua handed to him.
"I'll drink the water."
"There's also the cup of sobering tea for you, Grandpa."
"Yes."
Seeing Old Master Nan obediently drank, Nan Hua kept her needles away. She was truly not used to treat people as much as killing people. But thanks to Traveling Doctor Liu, she could do both.
The efficiency for the first one was still far lower than that of the second one, though.
After drinking the tea, Old Master Nan felt somewhat better. He watched as Nan Hua cleaned up the cups and handed it to the servants. For some reason, he was reminded of his old wife who had passed away two decades or so ago.
She would also nag him greatly when he was drunk and would not allow him to drink so much. After all, he loved to drink whenever he paid a visit to his old friend's location and chatted about the wars and so on.
It has become his way of passing time.
If he didn't have those men who would drink with him and chatted, he knew that he might not be able to keep his sanity when he was at the frontline for a long period of time.
"You should take some rest, Grandpa." Nan Hua looked at her grandfather. "I'm going to go tomorrow to Da Yi City."
"Wait, what are you going to do in Da Yi City?" Old Master Nan frowned, trying to process what Nan Hua was saying. Because he was drunk, it was clear that his processing time was a bit slower than usual.
"I have some matters to handle." Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and lowered her head.
Old Master Nan frowned and raised his hand to mess up Nan Hua's hair. He tugged her mask and slowly opened it, showing Nan Hua's clear and beautiful face. The mesmerizing face that was enough to bring down cities.
Even he had to admit that among many people he knew, his granddaughter looked the best.
The combination of genes between few generations had actually caused his descendant to look so beautiful.
"You have to protect yourself when you're out there, Hua'er. And I would like to tell you something when you come back in the future." Old Master Nan closed his eyes. "Something about Nan Family."
Nan Hua's eyes flickered.
Even without Old Master Nan saying anything, she actually knew that the Nan Family in Fei Yang Kingdom was related to the Nan Family in the previously Wei Da Kingdom. Now that they had become one kingdom, interaction between the two families would be impossible.
Nan Hua herself didn't know the details of her grandfather's past.
But it must be something that he himself didn't want to say because no one in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City ever said anything about that. Even if they were to know something, they keep it for themselves.
And Nan Hua will never force her grandfather to do anything he didn't want.
"It's fine if you don't say anything, Grandpa."
"I have to tell you." Old Master Nan smiled bitterly. "When you come to celebrate New Year at the end of this year, I'll tell you everything."
