Chapter 108 - It’s Not Necessary

"Chi Song Lian? That little brat who's too arrogant?" Old Master Nan asked in strange tone.

"Yes, Master."

Old Master Nan sneered when he thought of that Chi Family brat. "My granddaughter is just too exceptional. If that brat tried to do anything funny to my granddaughter, just break his arm."

"Yes, Master."

After the report from Hou Liang, Old Master Nan nodded. He didn't mind with the way the two brats took care of the things around them. It was clear that he would let those two do whatever they wanted as long as they didn't cross the line.

"Hou Lin."

Swish!

"Master," Hou Lin greeted respectfully.

Old Master Nan nodded. "Tell me more about Hua'er."

"Young Miss..." Hou Lin's tone was extremely low as he explained what had happened, including the short episode with Bai Yin. Everything that Nan Hua said and her small gesture was reported. While Nan Hua was expressionless most of the time, there was some emotions that would brew inside her eyes from time to time for a split second.

It was very brief, though.

"I see, they've actually planted such a spy in my son's home." Old Master Nan sighed. He didn't know which family it was because there were several of them who had grudge against him and could do something like this.

"Yes. Would you like this servant to investigate more?" Hou Lin asked.

Old Master Nan shook his head. "There's no need. Nan Shu Cheng must have realized it too but he chose not to bother with it. Since he himself didn't want to bother with it, I would not care either. He can take care of the problem himself."

Looking at Old Master Nan's tired expression, Hou Lin knew that the Old Master was tired of wiping his son's mess all the time. Even after having a family on his own, Nan Shu Cheng was still as unreliable as ever.

"Master, Young Miss seems like she wants to know more."

Old Master Nan was silent and shook his head. "It's not the time yet. There are too many of them and asking her to be wary of each of them would be too tiring. Call Si Qiao here and ask her to accompany my grandchildren for the time being."

"Yes, Master."

"Also, create some trouble for Qu Family. That Concubine Qu is already going out of hand in this matter." Old Master Nan chuckled. If that Concubine Qu had so much time in her hand, why don't she just pay more attention to her family?

Qu Family was not really a big family. They had made a big leapt with Concubine Qu marrying quite a high ranked official and often created trouble. Someone should report this matter so that Concubine Qu could focus more on her problems and not created trouble for his grandchildren.

"Yes, Master."

Swish!

The soldiers moved to do their job while Old Master Nan stayed in his place.

Looking at the pile of bamboo strips in front of him, Old Master Nan felt tired. There were so many things to do but his children couldn't even help while his grandchildren were too small.

Thus, Nan Hua learnt under Nan Si Qiao for the next few days.

Nan Luo would be training with Feng Ao Si while Feng Ao Kuai usually spent his time to read books.

Time was very peaceful, except during dinner time.

"Mother, I defeated Nan Luo again!" Feng Ao Si said proudly. He was puffing his chest as if what he did was something that was worthy being so proud over.

Nan Si Qiao looked at her son and nodded. "Good, if you lose to him, you won't be having dinner."

"Hehehe, how could it be."

"Hmph! Just watch I defeat you soon." Nan Luo sulked.

The difference in built between him and Feng Ao Si was the biggest reason why he had been losing continuously. Not to mention, Feng Ao Si had more strength as he was a 13 years old boy and had some experienced in the real battlefield. Even if his role was nothing more than a small helper, it was still experience nevertheless.

Nan Hua looked at her brother and she tugged his sleeve.

"Ah, what is it, Hua'er?"

"Target his blind spot, the right side," Nan Hua gave advice. She could see that Feng Ao Si was someone who was very good at controlling his weapon and had more strength. So, the only chance for her twin brother to win was if he made use of Feng Ao Si's weakness.

His movement was broad and big, which meant that he could barely cover his right side. It was the time when Nan Luo should strike.

Hearing the advice, Nan Luo's eyes brightened. "I'll try it!"

"What are you talking about?" Feng Ao Si noticed that the twins were speaking at low voice. He furrowed his brows.

"I'm going to defeat you in the next mock battle!" Nan Luo proclaimed.

"Hmph! As if I'll let you."

"Just see!"

Feng Ao Kuai ate silently in the midst of his brother and younger cousin's quarreling. He didn't have any interest in these fights and preferred the quiet time he could spend by eating and reading.

Bletak! Bletak!

"Ouch!"

Old Master Nan looked at his two grandsons who were fooling around. "Eat properly and stop speaking. If you don't want to eat, you can go out."

The two finally quieten down and ate silently. However, their eyes were filled with burning fighting spirits when they were looking at each other.

The only good thing was that it was not filled with malice since they were only competitive against each other but not to the point of wanting each other lives. Despite their age differences, the two of them were indeed similar to each other.

Watching these two, Old Master Nan felt tired. It has been a week and these two were still like that.. He turned to look at his daughter. "How's Hua'er progress?"
