Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 625 Celebration Party (4)

　　Nan Hua's eyes were calm. "Young Commander Long is joking. I can't possibly blame you for a small thing like this."

　　Long Qian Xing smiled and nodded.

　　Song Chuan stayed still at the side and felt that the atmosphere was somewhat strange. He felt that the picture in front of him looked somewhat familiar but this was supposed to be the first time he had ever seen Nan. It was really weird.

　　On closer inspection, he knew that Nan was similar to Nan Luo.

　　But if he was indeed a body double, that shouldn't be so strange, right?

　　Yet this atmosphere…

　　Tep! Tep!

　　There were footsteps coming and Long Qian Xing turned his head to the side. He could see Zhang Dan Shui walking towards the garden with slightly hurried footsteps. From this alone, it could be seen that he must be trying to get away from the other officials who were trying to rope him in.

　　Zhang Dan Shui had become the hot potato lately.

　　With his relationship soured with the Zhang Family, those who opposed the Zhang Family were all trying to get close to him. They knew that if they could make use of him, they would be able to go against Zhang Family.

　　But how could Zhang Dan Shui allowed that?

　　He didn't come this far just to let himself be used like a tool.

　　Because of that, he was merely polite on the surface but promised nothing to those people. He had to be careful in his speech to make sure that he didn't offend anyone and managed to get away after some time.

　　It was really tiring to deal with those old foxes.

　　Zhang Dan Shui stopped when he saw them. He cupped his fist. "Official Zhang greets Young Commander Long, Official Song, and…."

　　"Official Lin." Lin Yuan knew that he had to stick with this name for the time being. He felt glad that he decided to borrow the identity with the similar surname as him or it would be very difficult for him to survive.

　　There were a lot of people with similar surname, but this Lin that he borrowed to use was actually written differently from his name. But of course, Lin Yuan was not so bored so as to explain the meaning of his name to the people he met.

　　"Adjutant Nan."

　　"Official Lin, and Adjutant Nan," Zhang Dan Shui followed smoothly. He smiled politely, giving off the image of a good gentleman. "It's a pleasant surprise to see you all here."

　　Long Qian Xing passed a look at Nan Hua then to Zhang Dan Shui. He had the feelings that Zhang Dan Shui was working for Nan Family based on the way this young official had been treating Old Master Nan. Either the two of them were acting like they didn't know each other or they truly didn't know each other.

　　But there was no definite proof and he was not so idle to use his resources to look into that matter.

　　There were a lot of more important things for him to use his resources on. After all, the Long Family was not the true overlord and it took him a lot of money and resources in order to expand them for the past few years. If he truly wanted to have great power, the people under him had to grow first.

　　Right now, they have indeed grown, but it was not the point where he was completely invincible. They were all forces that he couldn't show on the surface too or some people might even use them against him.

　　Long Qian Xing had to be careful.

　　Because of that, he had no time to care for other not so important matters.

　　"The garden has more fresh air. Talking for such a long period of time can be a bit tiring," Long Qian Xing replied with a smile.

　　Zhang Dan Shui smiled back. "Young Commander Long is right. The nature and air here is indeed very good."

　　Nature is very good?

　　Song Chuan really wanted to applaud the two of them right now. They were clearly talking about how poor the atmosphere inside was but the way they talked would seem as if they were admiring the nature.

　　He really lamented the fact that Long Qian Xing didn't end up as an official. With his mouth alone, there would be more than enough people who would be rendered speechless by his refute.

　　Yet at the same time, they wouldn't be able to say that he was being impolite. He didn't even use any cursing words when he was talking to them, yet he was able to deflect their attacks.

　　"I have heard of your name a lot, Governor Zhang." Long Qian Xing started. "To be able to manage an entire city on your own is truly a great achievement."

　　"Young Commander Long flatters me. Managing a city is not done by only one person. In addition, I'm nothing more than an ordinary official in the Capital City that's not worth much of your time." Zhang Dan Shui remained humble.

　　Long Qian Xing's eyes narrowed. "Would you have time for a walk, Official Zhang?"

　　Zhang Dan Shui looked at Long Qian Xing deeply as he answered with a polite smile, "I'm afraid that it wouldn't be possible, Young Commander Long. This little one wouldn't stay here for a long time and wouldn't want to waste your time."

　　"That's too bad."

　　"My apologies, Young Commander Long."

　　"Don't worry." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "When you have time in the future, do come to pay a visit. I'll treat you to a meal. Your contribution for us to be able to win the battle at the High Pass is undeniable."

　　Zhang Dan Shui looked surprised, but he ended up accepting Long Qian Xing's offer after some persuasion. The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries while the others merely watched from the side.

　　Watching Zhang Dan Shui having difficulties talking with Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua was not surprised at all. Long Qian Xing had his way with his words and after living in this world for several years, he had combined his knowledge over his original world and this world.
