Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Hearing that, they were stunned. The first half of the sentence was something that they also knew, so they didn't think it was strange. However, the second half of the sentence felt a bit strange.

"Grandfather, what do you mean?" Nan Luo asked.

Old Master Nan arched his eyebrows. "You'll know soon. For now, focus on the next training."

"Yes.."

The three of them had no other choice but to grit their teeth for the training that was about to come.

Soon, the three of them sprawled on the ground. They no longer had any strength left to even sit up as they could only lie helplessly. Sounds of heavy breathing filled the field while Old Master Nan was still humming.

Feng Ao Si nearly vomited when he saw the huge difference between him and his grandfather. "Grandpa, how is it possible for you to be able to stand properly even when we're already in this state?"

"That's because you're weak."

Feng Ao Si: "…"

Old Master Nan laughed out loud. "Train hard. If you want to be strong, you have to be able to use all the muscle in your body without any exception."

All?

The three of them watched as their grandfather left helplessly.

Even though this was said to be training, it was actually a punishment for them. Being beaten up to pulp by their grandfather was not exactly an interesting experience.

"I'll go first." Feng Ao Kuai struggled to stand up and his servant helped him up. He looked at the other two. "Wait for my good news."

"Ok." Feng Ao Si nodded and asked his servants to carry him. Being beaten up twice in a single day was proven to be too much for Feng Ao Si.

Nan Luo was the only one who stayed still on the ground for some time before he returned to his quarter. He rested for some time before he rushed over to find Xiao Yun who had returned with Xiao Yan.

"Young Master," Xiao Yan greeted when he saw Nan Luo.

Nan Luo nodded and turned his head to look at Xiao Yun. He took a deep breath. "Tell me the truth."

Back when they first departed from Nan Shu Cheng's Residence, he had failed to get any information from Nan Hua and Xiao Yun. The two of them tacitly agreed not to reveal anything. Bai Yin back then only knew very little because Nan Hua mostly spend her time with Xiao Yun.

Thanks to that, Nan Luo barely knew anything that had happened back then.

Xiao Yun was startled. She looked at Nan Luo for a moment before shaking her head. "Young Master, please ask Young Miss about it."

"She will never tell me, so I want to ask you. Just what had exactly happened?" Nan Luo asked faintly. The only scene he ever knew was the one where Nan Shu Cheng made a move by himself. But to be able to force that person to make a move by himself must mean that it had happened a few times in the past.

"That…"

"Please tell me."

Xiao Yun then looked in the direction of Nan Hua's quarter before she sighed and nodded. Nan Hua never specified whether to reveal this to Nan Luo or not, but she herself didn't want to say anything. Probably, the experience she had back in Nan Shu Cheng's Residence had prevented her from saying anything.

"Young Master, please don't mention this in front of Young Miss."

"I won't."

In the end, Xiao Yun begun the story, starting from the time she came. At that time, Nan Shu Cheng often came to visit. But each time, he would argue a lot with Madam and even blatantly showed that he hated her so much.

When he saw the young Nan Hua who was starting to look like Madam so much, he vented his hate to her.

Xiao Yun didn't tell in detail, but it was enough for Nan Luo and Xiao Yan to know what had happened back then.

Nan Shu Cheng gave the excuse of her not doing enough work to punish her repeatedly with copying scripture or not having meal for the night. He even punished her mother if she was the one who failed. There was more than once where Nan Hua could only wait outside the door as she listened to her father bullying her mother.

"I can't do anything back then." Xiao Yun was filled with remorse. She was locked up faraway and by the time she returned, all she could see was the crying Nan Hua who stood in front of her mother's door. The door was blocked from inside, preventing anyone from entering.

She could never forget the expression on the young girl's face even now.

"How long…?" Nan Luo didn't realize anything. Not even when he was the one who often accompanied Nan Hua during his free time. When she was with him, she would always smile brightly and played a lot.

It was fun times for him.

But behind the bright smile that his sister and mother showed to him was an unspeakable dark times that they couldn't confide to anyone.

Xiao Yun was silent for a moment. "I don't know exactly when it started, Young Master. When I come to serve Young Miss, she's around 4 years old and at that time, Master Nan Shu Cheng had already punished her a lot through not giving her food at night if she couldn't finish her task."

Nan Luo was silent.

If it had begun when Nan Hua was 4 years old, it meant that for 4 whole years, he didn't notice anything. His father always looked like the role model in his eyes, but behind his back, Nan Shu Cheng would vent his hatred on his daughter and wife.

Because Nan Luo would become his successor in the future, he didn't dare to mistreat him. But it was a different case for Nan Hua, who would live most of her life inside the residence and stayed with his wife.

They wouldn't be able to do anything.

Thus, they were his target for hatred.
