Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250 – Reprimanded

"Hua'er!"

It was at this time Feng Ao Kuai managed to find Nan Hua. He was following one of the two routes with hope to be able to see them. It didn't even a quarter of an incense stick of time (15 minutes) yet, but he had found her. Since he managed to find her, it meant that Nan Luo was still roaming around.

"Brother Kuai," Nan Hua called out. She had changed her address to him because of his insistence. He felt that the word cousin was not good enough and asked her to call him with 'brother' when they were not with outsiders.

Feng Ao Kuai nodded then looked at Kuang Shen behind Nan Hua. "Come on, Grandfather is worried about you."

"Mhm."

Nan Hua stared blankly. It has been a long time since she had someone who was worried for her. She had long gotten used to solo mission and do everything by herself. Having someone who cared for her and worried for her was something new in this world.

She shouldn't have made a move by herself.

"Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm not." Nan Hua glanced at the knife in her hand. She had wiped the blood to the assassin's clothes not long ago and currently thinking whether she should discard it or not. Was the investigation prowess in this era amazing?

From what she remembered, it was the complete opposite.

Due to the focus on war, there were a lot of unsolvable case of crimes. Not to mention, there were a lot of assassins roaming in 'free' area like this.

"Good." Feng Ao Kuai then walked to the place where he stood with the other soldiers. After giving them instruction to return, he led Nan Hua through the path that they had opened to chase after the assassins.

Nan Hua glanced into the shadows, knowing that there were two people who were watching her, her cousin, and Kuang Shen from the shadow. Her dark obsidian eyes flickered before she looked away.

When they go back, Old Master Nan looked at Nan Hua in annoyance. "Hua'er, what did I tell you before? You're not allowed to run out without telling me first."

"Sorry, Grandfather."

"Do you know that you're wrong?"

"I'm wrong, Grandfather."

Facing a child who acknowledged her mistake right on the spot, Old Master Nan was even more exasperated. He reached forward and carried the young girl in his arm. He patted her back tenderly. "Don't do that anymore. I don't want you to be in any danger. Do you understand, Hua'er?"

"Yes, Grandfather."

Leaning her body to her grandfather, Nan Hua could sense how warm he was. It was a strange feeling, one that she could not explain with words. She felt as if she was being protected and cared.

Two words that would have never happened in her previous life.

It was strange, yet she didn't dislike it.

While carrying Nan Hua, Old Master Nan looked at Kuang Shen, who was beaten up. Even though he was a bit annoyed after hearing his plight from Traveling Doctor Liu, he couldn't possibly blame the boy for that. It was not like he chose to be born in Kuang Family.
