Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 52

Days passed quietly, yet the tension in the Capital City didn't decrease in the slightest bit. As the temperature dropped further, fewer people were seen walking around on the street. Nan Hua was silently counting the days while practicing her martial arts and trained her body against the cold.

"It's so cold…" Nan Luo bit his lower lips. "Grandfather is really brutal. He still asks us to practice even when most of the stores in the Capital City is already closed down."

"It's necessary."

"Why?"

"Because you can't never predict when your enemies will make their moves." Nan Hua was calm. While Fei Yang Kingdom was located slightly to the south, the winter was still quite harsh for them. It was hard for those who lived in the Capital City to survive this devastating winter.

Nan Luo pursed his lips. "But Grandpa hadn't been watching us for days. Is he really so busy?"

"Old Master is recuperating. It's not good for his injury if he stays in the cold," Hou Liang gave the excuse.

"What injury? Grandpa is perfectly fine!"

"Young Master, Old Master can't stay in the cold for a long time. If he stays outside all the time, he wouldn't be able to return to the battlefield." Hou Liang looked at Nan Luo sternly.

Nan Luo clicked his tongue but didn't argue anymore. He knew very well that even though the battlefield was the place where death was common, it was also the only place Old Master Nan would rather spend his time be.

As a general, he had no use aside from being at the battlefield.

"Young Miss didn't even complaint but you already complain so much, Young Master?" Hou Liang teased.

"Shut up! I can do better!" Nan Luo gritted his teeth and preserved. If even Nan Hua can withstand staying in this cold temperature for such a long period of time, how could he not do the same?

He had to preserve!

The temperature was indeed very cold. Hou Liang finally ended the practice. "You can return to your quarter now."

"Oh? We're finishing early?" Nan Luo's eyes lit up. "Yes! I'm going to take a warm bath! Hua'er, you too, go and rest! You can't catch a cold, understand!"

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "You too, Luo."

"Of course!"

Hou Liang shook his head at these two's conversation. He bid their farewell and the two of them returned to their quarter. The three maidservants came forward to welcome her.

"Young Miss, your body is so cold." Xiao Yun grasped Nan Hua's small hands and furrowed her brows. "Let this servant prepare warm water for you."

"Sorry to trouble you." Nan Hua lowered her head. Was this temperature considered cold? She was already used to train during winter in her past life. But her current body was still not used to this as she had to use quite a lot of stamina.

Training was really important.
