Chapter 442 Enemies Meet at Narrow Road (1)

"Miss," Xiao Yun called.

Nan Hua shifted her head and looked at Xiao Yun calmly. There was no trace of emotion on her eyes. It was as calm as a lake without any ripple.

"What is it, Xiao Yun?"

"I won't be able to get inside because of my position. However, if you ever need me, Miss, I'll help you with everything I can." Xiao Yun was a bit nervous inside. She knew that because she was nothing more than a servant, she was not allowed to enter the main hall.

Well, she could stay at the edge but not getting any closer. Most of the servants would stay outside because they could accompany their master or misses to the garden if they wished for it.

The only exception was inside that large main hall.

"It's fine." Nan Hua was not worried in the slightest bit. "They won't be able to do anything to me."

Xiao Yun looked at Nan Hua then sighed. Even though she knew that Nan Hua was powerful, she was still worried that there might be something wrong when they were inside the palace. Offending some people might put Nan Hua in difficult position in the future.

"We're here," she suddenly announced, then hurriedly went outside to help Nan Hua climb out of the carriage.

Nan Hua held onto Xia's hand and walked down the steps in a deliberate manner. Her clear black obsidian eyes glanced towards the enormous palace and a fleeting cold light flashed.

The most beautiful place was also the dirtiest and most dangerous place.

"Hua'er."

The young man nodded at Nan Hua's greeting.

Feng Ao Kuai also proceeded to greet them. Even though he didn't like this Second Commander Shangguan's family, he still had to show them enough respect on the surface.

Shangguan Die's face was very ashen. Even though she was wearing a veil, there was still a trace of red across her face that was visible. It was the mark that she had gotten three years ago during the banquet for Princess Yue that destroyed her face.

Probably, that was one of the biggest incident in the noble ladies' circle before Nan Hua left the Capital City.

Shangguan Die's marriage was also unsettled. She was already 17 years old, but there was no one who wanted to marry her because of her face that looked so horrible. Her previous engagement was called off not long after the accident.

And each time Shangguan Family tried to say something, they failed miserably.

Thanks to that, Shangguan Die was still alone even at this age and could only stay behind in Shangguan Family. Even today, she had no plan to come but it was mandatory for everyone to come.

"I didn't expect to see you out here." Second Madam Shangguan looked at the group of children in front of her with contempt.

Nan Luo smiled gentlemanly. "We also didn't expect it, Second Madam Shangguan."

"Let's go inside, children."

"Yes, Mother."

At the furthest back was Shangguan Mi, who was already at the marriageable age. Her gaze looked sharp as if she was not satisfied with this ending yet and planned on more things.

Nan Hua only watched silently, slightly admiring Shangguan Die to be able to survive under Shangguan Mi's fierce attack for the past three years.

"We'll meet on the battlefield soon enough, Young Master Shangguan," Nan Luo remarked as they walked. Even though they keep their distance while walking, it was still possible to talk with each other.
