Chapter 77 - Going To The Temple

The twins entered the carriage as it headed outside the city. Nan Hua and Nan Luo both were looking through the window. This would be the first time either one of them ever went out of the Capital City.

"Have you gone out before, Luo?" Nan Hua suddenly asked.

Nan Luo's eyes lit up. Nan Hua rarely asked him anything. Now that the chance has come, he would make sure to answer all of her inquiries!

"I have only gone out around the Capital City but never outside. Mr. Nan will never let me out." By now Nan Luo would never call Nan Shu Cheng as his father anymore. In the past, he would still call him politely with that title.

But not anymore.

Nan Hua nodded, not feeling surprised. Males were precious in every families and Nan Luo being the first son was obviously protected heavily. She was still wondering why Nan Luo seemed to have high aversion towards Nan Shu Cheng, but she was too lazy to ask.

Besides, it would be strange for her to ask when she was supposed to know.

Glancing out, Nan Hua looked at the people outside. She had been wondering why she came here in the first place but right now, she was simply living the life of 'Nan Hua' that was slightly different from what she had read before.

"We're reaching the gate." Nan Luo was excited. "Once we're outside, there will not be as many people as here. We're going to traverse the forest area, so it's better if we're not noisy."

"Noisy?" Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo. If there was anyone who would make a lot of noise, that person would be Nan Luo.

"Yeah, it's said that there are bandits out here, so we have to be careful!" Nan Luo clenched his fist as he explained.

Hou Liang, who was riding horse beside their carriage, nearly dropped off his horse when he heard what Nan Luo was saying. Did that brat just lie without caring for his own image?

"Brat, we're not going to encounter bandits here."

"That's what you say, but I heard that the areas here are unsafe. What's the reason for so many guards if not bandits?" Nan Luo countered.

"Young Master, the wheel is broken! We will need some time to repair it." the guards outside quickly reported.

Hou Liang was standing guard and looked around him in suspiciousness before turning his gaze to look at the carriage. His brows furrowed. How come the carriage broke when they were about to reach their destination? If they stayed outside, they might enter the temple when it was night time.

"Fix it quickly."

"Young Miss and Young Master, could you please come out for a while?" the guards asked awkwardly.

Nan Luo clicked his tongue but he knew that it would be dangerous to stay within the carriage when it was being repaired. No matter how much he didn't want to, he still had to come out.

"Hua'er, let's go out."

"Mhm."

Nan Hua followed Nan Luo out of the carriage obediently. From the side, Xiao Yun looked helplessly as Nan Luo helped Nan Hua to walk out. It was supposed to be her task to take Nan Hua out.

"Miss, would you like some refreshment?" Bai Yin came forward while holding a bag filled with refreshment.

Nan Hua shook her head.

"While waiting, how about if we walk around a bit? It's been some time since the last time we ever went out," Nan Luo suggested. The last time he tried to sneak away... his attempt resulted in utter failure.

"Young Master, could you please wait here patiently as the carriage is being fixed?" Hou Liang looked at Nan Luo and smiled threateningly. He genuinely wished that the young master could fix his attitude because if this continued, they would fall into endless troubles.

Nan Hua didn't answer and looked up. There were some people who were waiting in the forest, but they didn't come any closer.

'Assassin? Bandits?'
