Chapter 115 - Zhang Siblings

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!"

Zhang Dan Shui.

If not for hearing this name again, Nan Hua would have long forgotten about the young man whom she met at the palace at that time.

(A/N: poor Zhang Dan Shui)

It seemed that he managed to stay alive and bluffed his way out of the mess in the palace a few weeks ago. Since that was the case, she should fulfill her promise... but the problem of her unable to meet with that young man personally still remained.

It was not good to meet with him in public with her current identity.

As for meeting in secret, she still hadn't had much investigation about Zhang Family yet.

"Luo, let's take a look."

"Ah, Hua'er wants to see?" Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows. He was originally planning to wait for the commotion to die down before going down. But seeing that Nan Hua wants to see, he became conflicted.

"Mhm."

"It might be dangerous."

"I'll be fine." What danger would it be when it was just two young masters from Zhang Family fought against each other? Both of them were not powerful martial artists. Compared to her and Nan Luo's martial arts, they were nothing.

Not to mention, they were in the Capital City. What kind of idiot would blatantly provoke other people in this kind of situation?

"Alright."

Long Qian Xing watched the twins walked out. His servant from behind called him but he waved his hand. Since the twins wanted to take a look, he would also take a look. Though, he wondered just who could possibly create problem in this place.

Bang!

There was some dull sound of people getting hit.

Nan Hua walked out and saw the two young masters near a table. Zhang Dan Shui was standing with his head lowered while another young man, who looked to be similar to Zhang Dan Shui was pointing at Zhang Dan Shui, berating the other party. The words were extremely hurtful and completely humiliated Zhang Dan Shui.

However, Zhang Dan Shui kept his calm and didn't seem like he would retort at all. However, the clenched fist clearly told others that he was repressing his feelings yet he couldn't do anything.Updated chapters at novelhall.com

"Oh, the Zhang siblings." Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows.

Not to mention, she was still very young and hadn't had attended many parties formally.

Thus, Zhang Dan Shui couldn't figure out a method to contact Nan Hua. He thought that he should just leave it up to fate. Who would have thought that he would meet the young lady when he was just strolling on the street with his annoying younger brother?

He quickly repressed his intention to greet them. His eyes landed on the young man behind Nan Hua, who was slightly taller than the young lady. The soldier's attire and also the aura around him...

Zhang Dan Shui looked at his younger brother who kept on mocking him and even started to bring his mother. He looked up then to the side before cupping his fist. "8 rank Official Zhang Dan Shui greets Young Commander Long."

Young Commander Long?

Zhang Dan Shang was stunned. He quickly turned to the side and greeted the commander along with his friends. They were quick to change the conversation.

"Young Commander Long, it's really unexpected for us to be able to meet you in this place."

"Young Commander Long, I have heard of your past endeavor...."

Long Qian Xing's lips curled up to form a sneer as he looked at the young masters in front of him. He didn't like interacting with these bootlickers in the slightest bit. His eyes landed on Zhang Dan Shui, who was still standing in his place as his eyes darkened.

What a cunning official to use other people like this.

"I'll return first."

Nan Luo looked at Long Qian Xing then to the fervent official. He nodded. "We're also going to leave."

"Alright, take care."

As the twins headed to the door, Nan Hua turned to look at Zhang Dan Shui once more. She mouthed out, 'Wait.'

Wait.

It was just one word, but Zhang Dan Shui felt much better when he saw Nan Hua said that. He did feel a bit ridiculous for trusting the words of a young girl who was much younger than him... even more than a decade, so fast. However, he didn't manage to interact with many other officials.

Even if they knew about his problems, they would stay away and would not help him.

He needed help from someone else and meeting Nan Hua might be the only path left for him.

'Just wait.... Someday, I'll reach the place where I'll be free from Zhang Family.'

Zhang Dan Shui's eyes turned slightly cold as he watched his younger brother and other young officials. They were all siding with Zhang Dan Shang since the young master was favored. Not to mention, he was the main son, which meant that he was someone of higher status.

Rather than the unfavored concubine son, whose future prospect was rocky, they better paid more attention to the promising one.
