Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

In this way, Nan Si and Fei Mao received their new order from Nan Hua.

"It has been a while since I've been asked to go out." Fei Mao sighed. He has been staying in the Long Family Residence and mixed with the servants during these few days. Aside from coming to pay a visit to Xiao Yun from time to time, he would go and practice a bit. It was quite relaxing if he had to say.

But he didn't really reject going out to do missions.

After all, this was indeed his job.

Nan Si glanced at Fei Mao and nodded. "Don't make any unnecessary move. You're just there to investigate and not make trouble."

Fei Mao: "…" I have worked in information gathering for so many years and I didn't make trouble at all!

He glared at Nan Si and rolled his eyes. "I'm not a pure assassin anymore like you…"

"I'm a bodyguard."

Fei Mao: "…"

Alright, it was impossible to talk normally with Nan Si.

The two of them never really communicated much with each other in the past and Fei Mao didn't really have the intention to do so either.

"I'll be going now."

With that, Fei Mao slipped away.

He didn't want to stay here any longer.

Nan Si looked at Fei Mao's back and then turned back to the Long Family Residence once more. He would rather spend his time doing his own work or stay with Long Ai Ning. There was no point in meddling in other people's business.

Besides, meddling too much would equate him with death in his previous line of profession.

There were many ruthless people who came to send money to kill some people. These people had their own reasons why they didn't want to be found or to be known by others. For this reason, they would send their request anonymously.

Nan Si had long known about these people and would not bother with them unless it was necessary.

After all, he was unwilling to get into trouble because of knowing too much.

"Nan Si!" Long Ai Ning waved her hand happily when she saw Nan Si coming. "Come here, I made new type of cookie and I want you to taste it."

Seeing the bright smile on Long Ai Ning's face, Nan Si had a warm smile on his face. "Yes."

He took the cookie from Long Ai Ning's hand and tasted it. The sweet taste immediately pervaded in his mouth and Nan Si blinked his eyes.

"Did you use too much sugar?"

"Ah, is it too much?" Long Ai Ning frowned and then looked at the few pieces of cookies in her hand. "But it tasted really sweet and I like it."

Nan Si just nodded and said nothing else.

He never cared too much about the taste of his food as long as it was edible. So most of the time, the food he ate were bitter in taste. Perhaps because of this, he became more sensitive when eating something that was sweeter.

"Did Miss say anything about going out again?" Long Ai Ning asked.

Even though Long Ai Ning used to follow Long Qian Xing, she had chosen to serve Nan Hua well along with Long Qian Xing. After all, there was nothing wrong with it.

"No." Nan Si thought for a moment and then added, "Miss said that she's going to stay in Cheng City for a long time."

"Really?" Long Ai Ning's eyes lit up in excitement.

To be honest, Long Ai Ning didn't really like going out and traveling. After all, she was used to stay at home and what she wanted the most was nothing more than to stay behind to cook and not participate in various messy things.

It was enough to let her brother be the fighter and all.

She had no interest in those violences.

"Yes." Nan Si nodded.

Long Ai Ning was happy. "In that case, I want to ask my brother to repair my courtyard to be bigger. I want to make a better kitchen there."

Even though Long Ai Ning is a servant, her residence was quite good. She has her own private kitchen where she could experiment with various food.

Though, the food she cooked there would only be used for her own consumption and not given out to anyone. After all, there were also times when Long Ai Ning failed when cooking.

"I'll help," Nan Si said.

"Okay!" Long Ai Ning happily agreed.

In this way, the two of them made their way to Long Ai Ning's small courtyard and then made plans how to renovate the kitchen. Nan Si was an idiot in this matter and Long Ai Ning didn't have much knowledge, so even until it was close to dinner time, they were not done yet.

The only good thing was that Long Xu was not present to disturb them.

"Ah… I missed my brother now." Long Ai Ning sighed.

Even though she was being punished by Long Xu again and again because of her action, but Long Ai Ning still missed her brother.

It was just that…

Long Xu might not come back for a long time.

From what Long Ai Ning had heard, Long Xu had gotten married and currently staying with his in laws. Long Qian Xing also ignored Long Xu's action since there was no need to call him to the battlefield anymore.

It would be good to let them relax and enjoy the hard earned peaceful life.

"He'll come back soon," Nan Si said slowly, not entirely sure whether it was correct or not.

Long Ai Ning could only nod listlessly. She thought for a moment and then asked, "Say, if I were to get married, will my brother return in a hurry?"

Nan Si: "…"

If that happened, Long Xu will definitely come back with a sword in his hand to hack him down instead.

But seeing Long Ai Ning's look, Nan Si hesitated to say this outright.
