Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Young Master Long, where are you going?" Nan Luo asked as he noticed that he was unfamiliar with the road.

Long Qian Xing passed a look at the boy on his tail. "I'm heading out. This is the shortcut toward the gate."

"Why are we going to the gate?" Nan Luo tilted his head.

"Little boy, do you want me be the one to help your sister change her clothes?"

At that question, Nan Luo immediately snapped. "Of course not! If there's anyone to help her change clothes, that will be me!"

Nan Hua: "…" I don't need either one of you to help me change clothes.

Their carriages were still outside and naturally, it also meant that their servants were also there. Most of the servants would not follow their master to such an event like this. After all, it was not their place.

Some of them stayed outside the hall but most of them stayed a bit further away. Unless their master needed them, they would not get too close.

"Young Master Long, my clothes are not wet." Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing.

When Long Qian Xing pulled her away, the water naturally didn't get to Nan Hua. Instead, the one whose clothes were a bit wet was Long Qian Xing. She simply didn't mention this inside because she could see that he was trying to take control of the situation.

Now that they were outside, she was unwilling to change her dress since it can take a long time.

"Silly Girl, you still need to change clothes." Long Qian Xing looked at the girl in his arm helplessly. "Otherwise, you won't have any excuse to come out of that mess and stay out of Long Xu Nian. She wouldn't let you off so easily."

When talking about his older sister, Long Qian Xing's tone was always a bit colder. However, it was hard to notice if one didn't know him well or didn't sensitive enough to sense the differences.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes then simply nodded, no longer complaining. Even though those tricks were very childish, it was indeed tiring to take care of the mess. If she could get out of that, why not?

Listening to their conversation, Nan Luo was even more apprehensive. He turned to look behind where the backyard then to the hall before remembering that the males were celebrating in the main hall.

If Long Qian Xing used the usual way, they would have encountered the males there.

'It's better that we're not using the normal way, then.'

Nan Luo nodded.

They walked to a separate courtyard. The courtyard was empty and filled with trees at the front, which was actually good enough to be used as a cover. Long Qian Xing turned to look at Nan Luo. "Call Nan Hua's servant here. I'll wait here."

Nan Luo looked at Long Qian Xing suspiciously. "Don't you dare to do anything to my sister!"

"I won't." Long Qian Xing's lips twitched.

Come on, they were only 8 years old and 12 years old respectively…. They were not even old enough to think about things that adult would concern themselves over. He really felt that this little boy was so protective of his twin sister.

Nan Luo glared at the young man once more before he ran out. However, he returned in the next second. "Which way is the front hall?"

"Turn left in the first intersection."

"Okay, got it."

With that, Nan Luo rushed out once more.

Long Qian Xing shook his head then turned to look at Nan Hua before putting her down to the ground carefully. His dark eyes were staring straight at the young girl's pitch black eyes. "Little Girl, be more careful next time. I might not always be around to help you out."

"You don't have to help me." I can take care of myself.

Looking at the girl's eyes, Long Qian Xing felt that he was facing a disobedient little girl who didn't know what was good for her. He sighed and leaned back to the tree behind him.

Nan Hua glanced up at Long Qian Xing but she didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, she remembered something. "Thank you for helping me."

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "It's my duty to protect my fiancée."

"Oh."

The two of them waited in silence. Neither one of them seem to be willing to speak any other words. Yet the atmosphere was strangely calm instead of awkward.

It didn't take long for Nan Luo to return with Xiao Yun trailing behind her while carrying a piece of clothes.. Upon seeing Nan Hua, Xiao Yun hurried her steps even faster. "Miss, are you alright?"
