<h4>Chapter 294 – Decision</h4>


    After a long time of begging from Nan Luo''s end, Old Master Nan finally relented. Even though he still thought that his grandson was too young, he knew that his son would just sneak out if he kept on disagreeing. However, he imposed a lot of rules that Nan Luo had to follow.


    First, he had to stay at the headquarter at all times without exception.


    He would be apanied by Feng Ao Kuai who would be there in order to learn the strategy. His servants would also be there to protect him at all times. He was not allowed to go alone at night and so on.


    Even though there were so many rules, Nan Luo epted them all.


    The most important thing: he could participate in the uing war!


    Old Master Nan sighed when he saw Nan Luo so excited. In his mind, he had treated Nan Luo as his sessor, thus Old Master Nan would not be able to tolerate it if his grandson were to be injured during the time when he was still young.


    He looked at Nan Hua, who was silent all this time. "Go and wash up before dinner. Hua''er, stay behind."


    "Yes, Grandpa."


    The three children hurried back to their respective quarter while Nan Hua stayed still on her ce. She looked at her grandfather with her clear ck eyes.


    "Grandfather."


    "Hua''er, do you also n on participating?''


    Nan Hua''s eyes shed. She wanted to head over there not for the war but for the chance of heading to Xia Mountain. In her original world, she had already experienced her fair share of war with extremely advance technology and many others.


    "Yes."


    "I can''t bring you along as First Young Miss Nan." Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter and sighed. "You''re going as Nan Luo''s guard."


    "Yes, Grandfather."


    It would be for the best that she stayed close to her twin brother. She didn''t want anything to happen to her twin brother either and it was clear that Nan Hua didn''t trust her twin brother when it came to protecting himself.


    Old Master Nan waved his hand. "Go and wash up. We''ll eat dinner together."


    "Yes."


    Sitting quietly in the small courtyard, Old Master Nan looked at the area where Nan Luo and Nan Hua were staying. Since they were in Feng Family Residence, Nan Luo and Nan Hua''s room was only separated by a wall.


    "Hou Liang."


    "Master."


    "Do you think my decision is correct?" Old Master Nan asked softly. He wanted to know whether it was a good decision for him to do this, but he was absolutely not sure. Whenever he saw Nan Hua, he just wanted to hide her and pamper her yet he knew that with Nan Hua''s skill and her stubbornness, it was impossible.


    Hou Liang''s eyes flickered. He didn''t dare to answer this question. Even though he knew that Old Master Nan was only asking for himself, it was hard for him to answer that kind of question. "Master, this subordinate didn''t know."


    "You don''t know, huh?" Old Master Nan let out a faintugh and shook his head. He should have known that it was impossible for him to hide Nan Hua forever.


    He closed his eyes, preparing himself mentally for the uing battle.


    A month''s time.


    The preparation had already started since some time ago. The foods were prepared, the route were prepared, and the soldiers were already prepared. It was just, the soldiers didn''t know that they were marching to war yet.


    They would only know on the day itself.


    Only themanders were alerted.


    During dinner, Old Master Nan didn''t forget to rebuke Feng Qian Shao for instilling the idea of bringing the children to the frontline. He had to make sure that this general knew the importance of these children.


    It was nearly midnight when Old Master Nan finally let him off.


    The children were already sleeping but Feng Qian Shao was still being scolded relentlessly by his father inw. When he returned, Nan Si Qiao looked at her husband helplessly.


    "Qiao''er, do you really think that I''m wrong?" Feng Qian Shao asked in aggrieved tone.


    "I don''t think so, but you''re a bit reckless for not giving the children some rules to adhere." Nan Si Qiao patted his shoulder. "Come and rest up. It''s been so long since thest time you have time to go back."


    "The frontline is barely peaceful."


    "I know but it would be nice if you can spend more time with your children. They are looking up to you and wish to chase after you." Nan Si Qiao sighed helplessly. If only she had a daughter, she would have pampered her greatly.


    Feng Qian Shao looked at his wife and patted her head. "Tomorrow is New Year''s Dinner. Sleep early."


    "Yes."


    …


    The next day, they servant decorated the residence with red color. While it might not be as extravagance as it was in the Capital City, it was still pretty good. It showed that they were having New Year Celebration albeit looked a bit modest.


    The celebration outside was also pale inparison if one were to talk about the New Year.


    Of course, the children were notining.


    Nan Hua still slipped away as usual to have her practice with her ninth senior. Her servants would cover up for her, so she didn''t have any qualm of going out. Old Master Nan had long turned blind eyes for her action of going out to study.


    He knew very well that his granddaughter was smart, so he chose to let her be.


    What she did didn''t really break any rules.


    When Nan Hua reached her senior''s hut, she was stunned to find Long Qian Xing standing there. From the way it looked like, he had just finished talking something with Chen Yuan.


    "Senior Sister Chen," Nan Hua greeted politely. Afterwards, she turned to look at Long Qian Xing and curtsied. "Brother Long."


    "Hua''er.." Long Qian Xing nodded, his eyes were looking at the young girl with a profound gaze.
