2128 Smile
After spending around an incense stick of time with Gu Xia Mo, Yan Jin Nian had to leave.
She felt rather unwilling, but she knew that it was impossible for her to stay with him 24 hours a day.
"You can come again after the affairs are over," Gu Xia Mo said helplessly. He also wanted to spend more time with Yan Jin Nian, but he knew that she has more things to do. "I guess that there should be another important part?"
"Yeah." Yan Jin Nian nodded.
She was a bit worried for the upcoming banquet that Empress Xiao wanted to hold. The reason for the banquet itself was not important as what Yan Jin Nian was worried about was whether there would be someone who would come forward to oppose Nan Hua there. As for herself?
Yan Jin Nian's position would not threaten these younger generations because she had said that she only stayed here temporarily.
Afterwards, she would go back to Yi Shang Temple to recuperate.
So these people would not intentionally make things difficult for Yan Jin Nian. They all knew that there was no point in doing so.
"Do you need help?" Gu Xia Mo asked.
"Can you even help?" Yan Jin Nian rolled her eyes ungracefully. She knew very well that Gu Xia Mo had no power whatsoever in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City. Even if he wanted to help her, he couldn't really do anything. "I can't do anything, but it doesn't mean that I can't ask help from Long Qian Xing. Anyway, he owe me a favor," Gu Xia Mo said righteously. "Isn't it you who owe him a favor?" Yan Jin Nian looked at Gu Xia Mo suspiciously.
*cough*
Gu Xia Mo looked away and smiled sheepishly. "Anyway, how about that?"
"No need." Yan Jin Nian shook her head and smiled faintly. "If something happens to Hua'er, he will be the first to make a move. You don't even need to use favor to ask for his help."
As for what was beneath it?
It was another question.
...
<Not long distance away, Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, Nan Family Residence>
Nan Hua listened to Nan Si Qiao's lecture about various matters. In this regards, Nan Si Qiao was indeed the one who knew the best as she was forced to attend some of these things not long ago. Before it was time for Nan Hua to go, Old Master Nan called the two of them.
"Father?"
"Grandpa?"
The two of them asked Old Master Nan. Old Master Nan looked at the two women and sighed deeply. "I have just received news from Qian Shao. He'll go back to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City soon. He had chosen to retire from his position and will not go to the battlefield anymore."
Qian Shao?
Feng Qian Shao?
Nan Hua's eyes flickered as she turned to look at Nan Si Qiao. Feng Qian Shao is General Feng's name. In other words, Nan Si Qiao's husband and also the three Feng brothers' father.
