"Silly me. I forget that you can't stay out for too long. Bring some grapes back with you and share it with that stingy old man."
"Yes, Grandmother."
After some negotiating, Nan Hua only brought a portion of what she had picked in the garden even though Old Madam Long wished for her to bring all the grapes. She then went back to Nan Family Residence.
Both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai made some ruckus but Old Master Nan didn't allow them to chase after Nan Hua. He did tell her that she couldn't go to Long Family Residence for the time being, though.
Nan Hua knew that it was to avoid rumors, so she obeyed.
Two weeks were neither long or short.
Time passed swiftly as they spent their time in Old Master Nan's Residence, savoring the limited time they would have with each other.
Soon, it was the Lantern Festival.
"The festival is not as big as before," Nan Luo commented as he climbed the tree and watched the people outside. This has become one of his hobby whenever he wanted to take a look of the surroundings yet not coming out of his residence.
The tree was the best!
Xiao Yan looked at his master worriedly. "Master, please come down. It's dangerous."
"I'm fine~."
Xiao Yan sighed when he noticed that Nan Luo wouldn't come down.
However, what Nan Luo said was true. The Lantern Festival this year was severely lacking. With so many people were worried about the upcoming war and also the reaction of other factions, there were only a handful of people who were willing to enjoy the Lantern Festival to the fully.
As a result, the Lantern Festival was not as crowded as it was last year. Most people who had the time to enjoy this festival would be the merchants who wanted to earn profits and also children who still understood nothing.
For those children, there was no need to understand yet.
Even if they understand, they couldn't do anything with their small body and limited capabilities.
Nan Luo clicked his tongue before jumping down.
Tep!
"Well, since today is our last day here, how about if we go on a round trip together around the Capital City?" Nan Luo asked.
"Sure."
"When we get back, let's spar against each other, Hua'er." Nan Luo glanced at his twin sister and grinned widely. "I have already improved greatly and this time, I'll be serious so that you won't be able to defeat me."
Nan Hua raised her head. "You won't be able to defeat me, Luo."
"Don't be so confident~. If you make a mistake, I'll surely take it."
"I won't."
