The night was quiet.
Nan Hua found Xiao Yun and Mu Yan, asking for them to see her in her room. "Starting tomorrow, Mu Yan will act as me and stay in my room. Xiao Yun is only responsible for carrying food inside. From time to time, you two will change places so that there wouldn't be anyone suspicious. Is my instruction clear?"
"Yes, Miss!"
Both Xiao Yun and Mu Yan had already guessed that this would happen. They were already prepared and planned how to act from a long time ago, thus they were more or less ready.
"Good."
Nan Hua then walked to the backyard and sent a bamboo strip out for Fei Mao. This was the easiest method for her to deliver instruction without the need for any meeting. With her skill, it was easy for her to make sure that no one would find out and that the bamboo strip would always land in the same place.
All Fei Mao had to do was picking it up.
…
Morning.
Nan Luo and the others were quick to get ready. Then, they looked around as they didn't see Nan Hua anywhere.
"Xiao Yan, go and see where Hua'er is." Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows.
Xiao Yan was his personal manservant and would always follow Nan Luo, except if he was ordered otherwise. He bowed and was about to leave when he saw Xiao Yun walking toward them.
"Xiao Yun, where's Hua'er?" Nan Luo still remember the servant's name, so he quickly asked.
"Miss didn't want to come out. She only asks me to relay a message for Young Master, saying that Young Master have to take care of himself and return safely."
Nan Luo pursed his lips. Why would Nan Hua even sent a servant to relay such a stupid message? He really wanted to rush over to Nan Hua's room in order to see for himself what she was doing.
Old Master Nan walked out at this time. He looked at his grandchildren before stepping to the side, showing the small figure who had been following him. This time, Nan Hua was wearing dark blue robe with her hair tied up like many other boys. The dark silver mask was very eye catching when they saw her for the first time.
"Luo, Ao Kuai, this is Nan. He'll be following you to protect you from now."
Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were both staring at Nan Hua. Even though she was wearing a disguise, the two of them knew her very well that it would be impossible for them to mistake that pair of eyes for anyone else in the world.
Right now, the two of them understood perfectly.
Nan Hua would come with them!
"Alright, nice to see you Nan."
