Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 224

Fortunately, the others didn't know what Nan Luo was thinking of they would have scoffed at him.

"Do you not like it, Brother Long?" Nan Hua asked softly. If he didn't like it, she would think of something else to make for him. Did he prefer if she bought something for him for his birthday?

"I like it." Long Qian Xing looked at the bottle and swayed it a little. He could sense that the content was powder and not liquid. It seemed that he had to be careful so that he would not poison himself in the future.

"Mhm."

The others were looking at them and Nan Luo pulled Nan Hua lightly. "Hua'er, it's already late. Grandfather will be worried if we didn't return."

"Oh." Nan Hua nodded. "Brother Long, we'll go back first."

"I'll take you to the front."

"Mhm."

Even though Nan Luo was itching to pull Nan Hua away from this annoying man, he didn't dare to act excessively. If his twin sister was annoyed by him instead, it would be the most tragic outcome he could imagine.

The four of them go back to Nan Family Residence.

Song Chuan was still holding the book as he watched Long Qian Xing coming back. "I thought you didn't like poison. Your room is reeks of the smell of medicine."

It was not like Song Chuan wanted to actively investigate about Long Qian Xing. However, he couldn't help but hear it from General Long's concubines who had been living in this residence for a long time. It was an open secret that the Long Family Miss, well previous miss, was addicted to learning medicine.

It was to the point that she even used her younger brother as her test subject.

If not because Old Madam Long found out in time, there was high possibility that Long Qian Xing would have died a long time ago.

It was also because of the long term exposure to poison that Long Qian Xing had extremely high immunity towards most poison. At the same time, there were some types of poison within his blood that had to be controlled with medicine for certain interval of time or it would be fatal for him.

Because of that, Song Chuan thought that Long Qian Xing didn't like poison.

Long Qian Xing played with the bottle in his hand. He smiled faintly. "Since she told me to use it to my enemies, why should I reject her?"

Besides, the effect was merely paralysis.

It was not a life threatening poison like what he used to be fed with.

Looking at the bottle in his hand, he had the feeling that Nan Hua knew his condition and thus purposely picked a rather harmless type of poisons. However, he tossed the thought to the back of his mind.

What would a little girl know?

"Go back and study. After you pass the examination, I'll arrange a different residence for you."

Song Chuan nodded. "I understand."

…

Days passed.

What Old Madam Long told them came true. The invitation from the Imperial Palace was sent to Nan Family Residence, asking them all to come for the banquet prepared for Princess Yue.

Given the current custom, it was clear that Nan Hua would be placed in separate area from them.
