Unfortunately, it was simply impossible to refuse.
Thus, they have another battle and this time, Feng Ao Kuai focused on dealing with Nan Hua. However, he lost even faster than his older brother. Even though he was smart, his strength was nothing compared to Nan Hua.
"How about switching the arrangement?" Hou Liang suggested when he saw the miserable look on Feng Ao Kuai.
"No matter which team she's placed in, Hua'er will definitely win." Old Master Nan sighed. He looked at Nan Hua then patted her head tenderly. "Go and have some rest. You must be tired after a long game."
"Mhm."
"Also, Feng Ao Si, you still have to stay behind and train with Ah Luo. Ah Kuai, you may return first and read in the library."
Feng Ao Kuai's eyes shone when he heard that. However, his gaze landed on Nan Hua. "Hua'er, can I talk for a bit?"
"Sure."
"Not here, in the library."
"Ok."
The library in Nan Family Residence could be said to be one of the quietest place. Old Master Nan hated it when someone interrupted him, so he ordered the servants to stay further away and no one was allowed to enter this quarter. There were only some shadow guards protecting from a distance away should there be any danger.
It was very quiet and peaceful.
Nan Hua noticed that Feng Ao Kuai was staring in her direction. The stare did make her uncomfortable but she waited for him to speak first.
"Zhang Dan Shui… do you know him?"
"He's the official just now," Nan Hua replied calmly.
Feng Ao Kuai pursed his lips. "Are you building your own army, Hua'er?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"To protect Grandfather and Luo." Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Kuai and tilted her head. Wasn't it obvious?
Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Hua and thought to himself. "What kind of power?"
"A separate one." Nan Hua knew how messy it was at the court at this time. It was not the battle with the throne at the stake, but it was still very messy because the balance of power was unstable. Not to mention, it was clear that they would not willing to give up their position.
And when war break out, Nan Family would have to participate. If they were not strong enough, they wouldn't be able to survive.
Feng Ao Kuai was silent. "Don't you know that having an uncontrollable force can be seen as treason?"
At this moment, Nan Hua merely looked at Feng Ao Kuai with the gaze. 'What does it matter?'
Right… why should he care about it?
"What's the end goal?"
"Help Fei Yang Kingdom to end the war."
