Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 443 Enemies Meet at Narrow Road (2)

Shangguan Yi snorted at Nan Luo's words. He looked at the other party. "I'm afraid that you're going to be disappointed."

"Are you planning on taking the examination?" Nan Luo arched his eyebrows. Aside from learning martial arts, they were also told to learn for examination. Some of them did focus more on the examination while some others had long given up on that.

Nan Luo was only half half. He did study some bits and pieces here and there, but he didn't really think of taking that examination.

On the other hand, Feng Ao Kuai studied quite earnestly. There was no doubt that in five or so years, he would be able to take the examination and might be able to pass with flying color.

"Yep." Shangguan Yi snorted once more.

Nan Luo looked at Shangguan Yi and wondered whether this young man had finally roasted his brain. Shangguan Yi's academic result was very average. Even if he did pass the examination, he would only be able to become a low level official at the best.

And low level officials were often sent away to other cities too.

"In that case, I sincerely hope that you can pass, Young Master Shangguan."

"Naturally."

Seeing his arrogance, Nan Luo shook his head. He never liked Shangguan Yi because this man was a troublemaker. And even after three years, it seemed that Shangguan Yi was still very arrogant and hard to deal with.

He silently wondered whether Shangguan Yi would be deployed to the same place with him or not. If he did, he would make sure to thoroughly give some lessons for Shangguan Yi to make sure that this young man would never be arrogant anymore.

The group no longer talked with each other.

It was not like they were close either and there was no doubt that each and every one of them didn't have any plan to talk with each other.

Nan Hua fell behind her twin brother and cousins. Her steps were slow but certain. At this time, she was silently observing the group of Shangguan Family beside her. Looking at the way Shangguan Mi glaring in her direction just now, she had the feeling that Shangguan Mi was planning something.

At first, she thought that Shangguan Mi would already be engaged to someone considering her age.

But the report from her men stated that Shangguan Mi didn't have any fiancée yet. Second Madam Shangguan had tried to match made her a few times but not a single one of them succeeded so far.

Some of the men were already quite good.

'Did she set her target even higher?'

Nan Hua pondered as they reached the main hall and stopped by the door. The eunuch announced their arrival in a loud voice.

They then walked inside.

A lot of people were looking in their direction and Nan Luo instinctively stood slightly in front of Nan Hua. He didn't feel comfortable to have them look at his sister so blatantly like that.

They would be seated in accordance to their family members and also their gender. Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai headed to the left while Nan Hua headed to the right.

"Hua'er, call us if something is wrong. We're not that far."

"En."

Normally, Nan Hua had to sit with the other Nan Family members. However, it seemed that there were also several smaller tables for one or two people and Nan Hua chose to sit in that place. It would be much better than having someone bothering her when she least wanted it.

Some people were talking with each other. Nan Hua's presence was easily forgotten as she was not really a person with high reputation in the Capital City. After leaving for three years, there were not many people who knew her. Not to mention, her presence erasing skill was very good.

Unfortunately, some people just couldn't forget her.

At that moment a particular young lady girl walked towards her. Nan Hua stared at the girl as her eyes flickered slightly. What could she possibly want from her?

"Sister," The girl, Nan Xin, greeted with her sweet voice.

Today, Nan Xin was dressed in pink embroidered dress. It had cloud pattern and looked very suitable for a young budding girl like her. Her face was covered in veil because it was the rule, but her eyes were currently shining like a little girl who had just found a treasure. Her long eyelashes framed a beautiful pair of eyes, which curved into a crescent moon whenever she smiled.

Nan Hua was calm. "Second Young Miss Hua."

"Sister, why don't you join the others?" She asked with a smile.

"I'm not used with parties," Nan Hua answered softly. Her small voice may have been hard to hear but was truly pleasing to the ears.

Nan Xin was stunned when she heard that melodious voice. Nan Hua's voice was very soft and endearing. Coupled with her fair skin and lovely eyes, even Nan Xin had to admit that this girl was astonishingly beautiful. Those so-called attractive girls in front of Nan Hua were nothing to compare.

Jealousy brewed within her eyes.

She had tried many things to make sure that she would be able to grow beautiful. With Shangguan Die ruined and Princess Yue out of the picture, there were several other young noble ladies who claimed to be the most beautiful.

However, Nan Xin was never included.

Nan Xin had her own charm as she had fair skin and attractive figure. But compared to many other noble ladies, she was not that outstanding. Now, Nan Hua had clearly exceeded her by several magnitudes.

How could she stay calm?

She knew that the other noble ladies would surely try to compare her with Nan Hua if they were to see her in the future.

"I forget that Sister had spent a long time in the countryside to take care of Aunt. How about I introduce you to my friends?" Nan Xin asked, her tone sounded caring.

Nan Hua looked at Nan Xin, knowing full well that Nan Xin was mocking her for not stepping into the circle in the Capital City.
