Chapter 114 - Eating Together

"Hmm?"

Nan Luo was confused but Long Qian Xing didn't explain any further. When they heard the news tomorrow, they would know.

"What do you want to eat?" Long Qian Xing asked. He pointed to the list of menu available.

Nan Hua pointed to the Shu Mai. "This."

"Only that?"

"You can eat more, Hua'er. Since Young Master Long is the one who want to treat us, shouldn't you eat more?" Nan Luo asked with a grin.

Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo. Even if it was free meal, there was no way she would order more than what she could eat. In the end, they all ordered a few more dishes and waited inside the VIP room to talk about some things.

"I haven't heard about you going to the academy for some time, Young Master Long. Is there any business lately?" Nan Luo asked curiously.

Long Qian Xing nodded. "I got some task from my father to subjugate some free states nearby."

Free states were the terms used for the area where they didn't recognize Fei Yang Kingdom as the kingdom they reside in. Even though territorially they were inside Fei Yang Kingdom, they have their own leader and fended for themselves. It would take some time before they would want to acknowledge Fei Yang Kingdom through persuasion.

Thanks to that, this was one of the methods to train the younger generations. As time passed, there wouldn't be any free states anymore as they would be merged into Fei Yang Kingdom. But for the time being, there were still several of them.

"In winter?" Nan Luo was stunned. To think that this young master was busy during winter to subjugate small free states and he was only training at home.

"Yes."

Nan Hua tilted her head. "Commander Long?"

Long Qian Xing smiled faintly. "I'm indeed had been promoted since it's also the order. However, I'm not sure you have heard about it."

Nan Luo was speechless.

Should he smash his fist to this annoying young man in front of him? Just how old was he and he was already being promoted? How annoying.

Nan Hua didn't give any other comment. She merely looked in his direction for a moment. It was also in the novel, the scene where Long Qian Xing officially become several hundreds men commander. Since the incident in the palace couldn't be revealed, he was given another task of subjugating several other states nearby.

In addition, he would be selected for some other things.

Young Commander Chi had just failed his task in the temple. In order to lower his status, Long Qian Xing's rank was risen after his contribution while Young Commander Chi got punishment. It was a quite common move.

"Are you going again?" Nan Luo asked curiously.

Long Qian Xing shrugged. He still didn't know what his next task would be and when he would be departed once more. In any case, he didn't really like the Capital City if not for the fact that his grandmother was still here.

Long Qian Xing couldn't help but smile when he saw that. Children were really cute, making one wants to tease them. He raised his hand and pinched Nan Hua's cheek lightly. "Don't worry, your teeth will soon grow."

"Mhm." Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and her eyes darkened slightly.

"Hey, hands off!"

With Nan Luo slapping his hand away, Long Qian Xing merely laughed and no longer teased the two children in front of him. He smiled lightly. "When will you attend the academy again, Luo."

"Ah?" Nan Luo, who was determined not to answer Long Qian Xing because of his anger, looked at the young man in front of him with surprise. He tilted his head to the side. "Probably in a few days? I don't know."

"I see."

They didn't talk again and quickly finished their meal. Nan Hua still felt uncomfortable with a missing tooth. She hoped that her teeth would grow quickly but at the same time, she knew that she still has several temporary teeth....

This incident would happen a few more times in the future.

"Are you full?" Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Luo, who was satisfied with the meal.

Nan Luo nodded. "Of course! I eat to my fill."

"Good, then."

Xiao Yan really wanted to pull Nan Luo to the back and reminded the young master to keep his image. Right now, he felt that Nan Luo looked more like a rogue rather than a young master from a noble family. However, he definitely couldn't do that or Nan Luo would be annoyed.

"In that case, we should go. I still need to accompany my grandmother."

"Oh right, I was planning to take you to the Sweet Store, Hua'er." Nan Luo's eyes lit up. "Would you like to eat them?"

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother and nodded obediently. "En."

"In that case, let's..."

Prang!

The sound of ceramic fell to the ground rang in their ear. They all turned their head outside to look at the direction of the sound. It was not from their room but rather the other place.

"I'll take a look first, Young Master."

"Young Master, I'll take a look first."

Two servants, Xiao Yan and one from Long Qian Xing, quickly excused themselves as they walked out. It seemed that there might be an incident nearby.

Nan Hua's eyes flashed as she heard familiar name from a distance away.

"You think you're something, Zhang Dan Shui?! Do you think that just because you're already a formal official now it meant that you're better than the rest of Zhang Family? Let me tell you that someone at your position could be replaced at any time! I'm someone worth much more than you!"
