Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 220

He sighed and chose not to talk about this anymore. Even though he knew that it was true, he didn't want to say it in front of his granddaughter.

"Don't put your life in danger, all right?"

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather's earnest expression and slowly nodded. The mission was not dangerous at all was what she actually wanted to say. However, she couldn't bring herself to say it when she saw her grandfather's gaze.

Gaze that was filled with love, comfort, and worry.

It was a luxury that she would have never experienced if she hadn't come to this world.

"Hua'er, let's go to the field. Luo and Brother Ao Si must have been training hard. We can't be left behind," Feng Ao Kuai suggested.

Nan Hua looked at Hou Liang, who was standing guard, and Tong, who was waiting for instruction. She understood that her grandfather wanted her to leave him be because there were some matters that he had to talk with them.

"Yes."

The two of them slipped away and rushed to the field.

Nan Hua turned her head back once more, her black obsidian eyes gleamed slightly. There were still many matters that Old Master Nan wished to hide from her and her siblings. But the day would soon come when he would tell them the truth by himself. She was sure of that.

With that in mind, Nan Hua turned around and continued her steps.

*sigh*

Old Master Nan looked at Hou Liang. "Don't let her know our dispute with many other families."

"Yes, Master." _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

There were a lot of people who were dissatisfied with the large land that Old Master Nan got along with his title because of his war achievement. When winning a large war and achieved high achievement, they would get a considerable sum of money, land, and also rise in nobility title.

By now, Old Master Nan was already a duke, which could be said to be one of the highest ranks within the entire kingdom. If he was given another title, it would be grand duke, which might even put him comparable with princes.

However, Old Master Nan doubted that it would be possible for him to even earn more title considering how his old friends were all stall in this title.

As he had earned a lot from wars, many people were jealous of him and wished for his downfall. That way, they would be able to seize his land and business. If they could get a hand of this large meat pie, they were sure that they would be able to thrive and get rich faster.

After all, Nan Shu Cheng was stupid and didn't look like he would be able to gain much achievement in his life.

Some others… have personal conflict with him.

Old Master Nan definitely didn't want to let his granddaughter be the one to bear the brunt of his mistake. He would not never be able to forgive himself if he ended up putting his granddaughter in harm's way because of his stupidity.
