Chapter 624 Celebration Party (3)
Long Qian Xing stopped in his tracks and looked towards Nan Hua. He smiled faintly. “I thought that you’re going to stay with Nan Luo all the time.”
”Young Master allows me to move separately.”
If Nan Hua kept on staying close to Nan Luo, she was sure that Nan Luo would grow crazy because of the immense amount of attention given to him. It would be better for her to hide in this area of the garden.
”I see.” Long Qian Xing nodded in understanding then walked to the nearby lake. He silently lit up the lantern and watched as it moved on the surface before being engulfed in flame. His hand was clasped together in prayer.
Nan Hua watched from the side, not disturbing him at all. Lantern could be used for two different things. One was to celebrate the arrival of the new year. But at the same time, lantern could also be used to give tribute to the death. It’s believed that the lantern would be able to guide their way in the underworld so that they would not get lost.
There were no one close to Long Qian Xing who died, so Nan Hua thought that he did it for his soldiers. A lot of his soldiers had died in order to defend Fei Yang Kingdom against the Joint Army this time.
The war was intense.
But people didn’t pay attention to the loss and mostly to the fact that they won. A lot of people had to pay with their lives and those who remembered them would mostly be their family members or their leader.
Long Qian Xing finished and looked at Nan Hua. He noticed her gaze was looking at him calmly. For some reason, that gaze felt so familiar to him. He chuckled. “I’m giving my offerings for my men because I’ll never be able to reach this stage without their help.”
Nan Hua nodded.
Becoming a general was a path filled with sacrifices. Going to war, there would always be casualties. It was because of those people persevering that their leader could grow up through ranks and lead even more people.
A sound of footsteps stopped their conversation. Song Chuan and Lin Yuan walked out of the corner. They smiled when they saw Long Qian Xing but stopped in their tracks when they noticed Nan Hua standing not far from him.
”Nan, this is Song Chuan and Lin Yuan.” Long Qian Xing pointed at the two of them. “Song Chuan, Lin Yuan, this is Adjutant Nan.”
Lin Yuan was speechless. “Young Master Long… can you not use my real name in this place?”
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. “If you don’t want me to call you with your real name, you better stay away from me.”
Lin Yuan was silent.
How could he stay away from Long Qian Xing when one of the reasons he came to participate in this party was to see him? He felt that the live as a merchant around Long Qian Xing was so difficult.
