Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740: Night Visit

That man's skill was pretty good.

None of the shadow guards who were stationed around Nan Hua's quarter managed to detect him. Nan Hua turned to look at Chu Yue, who stood at the side motionless and knew that Chu Yue hadn't noticed it either.

Since Chu Yue was staying behind in Nan Family Residence when Nan Hua stayed in Wind City and Han Zhong City, she spent her time in the military and received the best training. That allowed her to become one of the few best bodyguards with great detection skill that would not lose out to Hou Lin.

However, Chu Yue didn't show it most of the time.

She only showed that she had martial arts but never showed the full extent of her abilities in front of others.

'This person…'

Nan Hua looked into the window and waved her hand. "Chu Yue, you may go."

"Yes, Miss."

Chu Yue retreated behind the door while Nan Hua sat on her bed. She had already recognized the person who came to her quarter in the middle of the night. Though, she really wondered why he would come here.

Tp.

The window was opened and a figure leapt inside.

Nan Hua raised her head and looked at the young man before her. She really wondered what in the world he thought he was doing inside her room at this kind of time.

"Brother Long."

"Hua'er." Long Qian Xing smiled. "I heard the commotion from outside and I thought that everyone will be in the party."

In fact, he was thinking of attending the party as one of the invitee, but he realized that it would be weird. He sneaked inside, trying to see Nan Hua among the few people who were participating, but he couldn't see her anywhere. And approaching Nan Hua's quarter allowed him to sense her faint presence.

Nan Hua never had much presence even when she was not using her martial arts. However, Long Qian Xing felt her presence was always so familiar to him, so he simply sneaked here. Bypassing those shadow guards were easy since they were not elite soldiers like the one in Nan Family Residence.

"I have no interest to participate in the party." Nan Hua stood up and walked towards Long Qian Xing. She raised her head and could see the black lines under his eyes. It seemed that he hadn't been sleeping well even though he was not in the battlefield.

Given by how many people wanted to overthrow Emperor Yang Zhou, it was not that weird for him to be working tirelessly. After all, he was one of the few people whom Emperor Yang Zhou could truly trust.

The rest of them?

That would be nothing more than a pipe dream.

"Why is that?" Long Qian Xing asked with a faint smile. He could smell the pleasant smell coming from Nan Hua when he stood near her. Was it a type of flower? The fragrance was so pleasant that it relaxed his tense nerve.

But thankfully, Old Madam Long still could hold her temper. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

She only ended up flogging Long Qian Xing with a stick because she was feeling a bit impatient. Though, she didn't press Long Qian Xing because she knew that her grandson was also very busy to prepare for Emperor Yang Zhou's marriage.

Not to mention, there was still the inauguration party not long from now.

"I can't pay a visit to her. My father grounded me." Nan Hua could leave anytime she wanted to, but she was too lazy to argue with Nan Shu Cheng. In her opinion, arguing with a stupid person would only waste her time.

It would be better for her to spend her time practicing her embroidery since she had finally managed to make it even better.

Of course, she still had her morning training.

It was done covertly within her room without any of those shadow guards ever noticing what had actually happened.

"Oh?" Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He looked at the young girl in front of her and felt a heartache when he thought about her treatment here. Would it be possible for him to ask for the Emperor to allow Nan Hua to live in his residence until it was time for his marriage with her?

Prince Yang Lu did that with Princess Mu Fei Xin.

So, there should be a way, right?

While Long Qian Xing was thinking of finding excuse to Emperor Yang Zhou, Nan Hua stepped back and turned around.
