Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 268 – Weird Feelings

After listening, Feng Qian Han's first reaction was disbelief.

He could never think that his nephew would ask for something like that.

"Are you sure that you want me to do it?"

"Yes. You're the best person who can do this, Fourth Uncle. In addition, no one will suspect you and you can stay here," Feng Ao Kuai listed the advantage shortly. It was clear that he didn't want to repeat what he just said not long ago.

Feng Qian Han contemplated. He had already guessed that Feng Ao Kuai must have planned this. However….

"Is the poison real?"

"It is." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his fourth uncle. "If you drink it, you will be paralyzed for a month and probably have some lingering effect afterwards. Your life as martial artist will be over."

Feng Qian Han's back was covered in sweat when he heard that. He had been living for a long time and the only relief he had was the fact that he still could move around and work as soldier. If it was also taken away by him, he wouldn't be able to survive.

"How do you know it?"

"I drink small dose of the poison over time in order to build immunity." Feng Ao Kuai was calm. "This method can decrease your lifespan, but it'll be useful since I won't be easily harmed by others."

How ruthless.

The saying that one had to be ruthless to oneself before being ruthless to others seemed to be very true in Feng Ao Kuai's case.

Feng Qian Han took a deep breath. "Alright, I'll do it."

"That's good." Feng Ao Kuai smiled lightly. "It'll be a pleasure to work with you, Uncle."

"Yeah…" By now Feng Qian Han didn't want to think about what his father and those who knew him think about him anymore.

He used to be most talented one in his youth. However, his brothers would try to put him under their shadow by putting out a lot of bad words about him. He always thinks that he could change their opinion by showing what he could do but they instead schemed to make sure that his reputation hit rock bottom.

Even his fiancée didn't believe him and her family chose to withdraw from the engagement.

He had been trying to rebuild his life only to be facing walls by walls.

Now, there was another chance in different form.

He would take it.

Even if it would make him looked like an idiot and lost all of his chance of recovering his reputation, Feng Qian Han no longer cared about those. He only wished that he would be able to continue living and someday, proved that he was better.

After the talk with Feng Qian Han, Old Master Nan and Feng Ao Kuai visited Nan Hua.

The young girl was lying on her bed with Xiao Yun helping her to clean up the things around her. She raised her head when she heard the two of them and called out softly, "Grandfather, Brother Ao Kuai."

"You little brat! If not for Hou Lin telling me that it's the type of poison that you have immunity against, I would have long flown there and smacked them all to death!" Old Master Nan chided.

Feng Ao Kuai also looked at Nan Hua with somber expression. "Hua'er, don't attempt it anymore."

"I was wrong."

"You…" Old Master Nan felt like he was getting even more angry when he was talking with Nan Hua. Why did she have to be so obedient in front of him, ah? He felt thoroughly frustrated.

Stomping his legs, Old Master Nan walked into the room then sat beside Nan Hua. He pulled the young girl to his lap and caressed her hair softly. Looking at her sweet and 'innocent' expression made him want to just pamper her all day long and never allowed anyone to get close to her.

But of course, it would be impossible.

"If you have something to do, you can ask us. Don't just bear everything on your shoulder by yourself, Understand?" Old Master Nan asked in somber tone.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes before she nodded faintly. "Yes, Grandfather."

"Don't put yourself in danger like that again. Even if you have immunity, you better not try your luck when you're encountering powerful poison. There might be more than your body can handle."

Old Master Nan sighed. Human's body was very fragile. No matter how hard they tried to train and tried their best to build their immunity, there was always a limit. He couldn't possibly ask Nan Hua to bet on her life again in the future.

He also didn't wish for her to be put in danger just because of her trying to do something.

"Be more careful, alright?"

"Mhm."

Nan Hua didn't feel too good making her grandfather acted like this. She snuggled close to Old Master Nan's arm as she felt that it was really warm and comfortable. Even though his hand was already wrinkled and his body no longer as firm as it was in the past, it felt as if he could give her security within his arms.

It was a weird feeling.

But she didn't dislike it.

Feng Ao Kuai sat down in front of Nan Hua. "I have asked Uncle to be my eyes and ears here. It'll be useful for me to know the progress in Wind City and if there's anything bad in the future, I'll be able to prepare in time."

Nan Hua opened her eyes. "Make a group."

"Alright, I'll do that."

"I want to go out tomorrow."

"What? No! You have to rest…"

"Master wants to give check up."

Old Master Nan swallowed all the rejection words that he was almost thrown up. In his heart, he felt like killing Traveling Doctor Liu a thousand times to make sure that he would not mistreat his granddaughter like this.

But looking at Nan Hua's face, Old Master Nan really couldn't bring himself to say no.

"…Fine."

"Mhm." Nan Hua nodded and snuggled again.

Even though Old Master Nan was happy that Nan Hua was close to him, he really felt aggrieved when he thought that Nan Hua would be going tomorrow because of that old doctor!
