Nan Luo gulped as he thought about what he could answer to his sister. Could he possibly say that he learned it during the secret training this morning? It would be the same as telling her that the Nan Family had secret forces, ah.

“I heard it from the Academy!” Nan Luo replied hurriedly.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. They were currently having breakfast, right? When did Nan Luo leave to the academy.

Seeing the look on Nan Hua’s face, Nan Luo’s expression falter. While Nan Hua was mostly cold on daily basis, it didn’t mean that her expression was completely cold. He still could notice the meaning of the look that his sister gave to him from time to time.

“That’s… uh…” Nan Luo couldn’t say anything.

Old Master Nan raised his hand and flicked his grandson’s forehead.

Tcwack!

“Ouch! Grandpa!”

“Eat properly.” Old Master Nan glared at his grandson before looking at Nan Hua. “Hua’er, your aunt will come here later and help to teach you some etiquette.”

Etiquette?

Now that Nan Hua thought about it, she barely knew anything about the etiquette in this time while the Nan Hua from the novel was someone who was excellent in terms of etiquette. It seemed that she would have to work hard if she didn’t want to be found out that she was not the real Nan Hua.

The way she behaved herself was only in accordance to some training she had when she infiltrated some places in modern world. There were some differences with here and she couldn’t perform perfectly well.

“Yes, Grandfather.”

Old Master Nan’s words stuck in his throat. He was actually thinking about coaxing his granddaughter in fear that she wouldn’t want to learn. But seeing Nan Hua being so obedient, he felt a bit loss.

In the next moment, he beamed. “Yes, Hua’er is a good girl!”

At the side, Hou Liang lowered his head once more. He felt that the Old General was getting more and more biased as time passed by. She was only being obedient and he already praised her?

If it was the soldier, they would be dying to get a single sentence of praise from the Old General.

Comparison really hurt.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes as her brain churned. Old Master Nan had two children, Nan Shu Cheng and Nan Si Qiao. One son and one daughter. Nan Si Qiao was married away many years ago to a general and usually lived in another city since her husband was active at the frontline.

…There was no mention about this in the novel, so Nan Hua didn’t know why Nan Si Qiao would return to the Capital City at this point of time.

Nan Luo looked up. “Grandpa, then the Feng brothers are going back too? Can I spar with them?”

“They’re back too.” Old Master Nan nodded. “However, they’ll return a bit later because of some matters. You can meet with them at the Academy later.”

Nan Luo beamed. He had two older cousins and the two of them were both good at martial arts. Of course, when they were younger, they all often sparred together but since the older one was taken to the frontline to experience the real war, he hadn’t met them for some time.

Now, he could finally have another good spar again.

The trio finished their meal and not long afterwards, they heard news of Nan Si Qiao return. Old Master Nan naturally didn’t need to come forward to greet his daughter, but he had missed that little lass, so naturally he chose to head to the gate.

Nan Hua looked outside as the gate was open. She hadn’t gone out of the residence at all ever since she came here because she was busy training. For the time being, her body was already not that bad in her opinion but it was still far from her previous ability in the modern world.

A beautiful carriage stopped in front of their residence. Several maidservants quickly came out and helped the young woman in the carriage out.

Nan Si Qiao was already in her late twenties but she looked as if she was still in her early twenties. She was dressed in dark green dress as she walked out of the carriage. Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw her father.

“Father,” Nan Si Qiao greeted her father properly.

Old Master Nan smiled. “Qiao’er, it’s good to see you well.”

“I’m living well, Father.” Nan Si Qiao smiled back. She then looked at her niece and nephew as her smile turned gentler. “This must be Sister in Law’s children.”

Sister in law?

For her to use this phrase instead of her brother meant that she didn’t have good relationship with her brother. Nan Hua felt that the relationship in this ancient world was really strange.

Other siblings relationship that she had seen seemed to be very strained from each other, totally unlike her brother who would latch to her anytime there was a chance.

“Aunty,” Nan Luo greeted.

“Aunt,” Nan Hua followed suit as her eyes were carefully watching Nan Si Qiao in front of her.

Nan Si Qiao’s eyes narrowed slightly. She then glared at her father. “Father, did you…”

*cough*

Old Master Nan smiled sheepishly.. “Let’s get inside.”
