Right now, Nan Si's order was only to shadow Nan Hua from the back and helped her when it was necessary. But when it was unnecessary, naturally Nan Si would not make a move on his own and simply stayed in the dark. Si Mo Fan heard Nan Si's words and nodded. "I see." He was not very surprised when he heard Nan Si's words because he knew that Nan Si was Nan Hua's personal bodyguard. Not that she needed one, though. So Nan Si usually only followed Nan Hua and helped her with anything that she might needed. Clang! Clang! Clang! Tep!
The battle ended with Nan Hua's sword held in front of Long Qian Xing's heart and Long Qian XIng's sword rested beside Nan Hua's neck. "It's a draw," Long Qian Xing said. Nan Hua hummed. "If it's a life and death battle, it would not be so simple."
Long Qian Xing chuckled as he pulled his sword back. "Indeed."
But the two of them would not truly kill each other, so even if they knew that their abilities were far higher than this, they would never actually show it in front of each other. Neither wanted to kill the other party. 'If it's in my previous life, I might be able to spar to my hearts' content without worrying about it.' Long Qian Xing shook his head, not wanting to think about it. There was no point for him to think about things that couldn't happen either. Nan Hua didn't know what Long Qian Xing was thinking as she turned her head to look in the directions where Si Mo Fan was standing. "Leader Si, did you develop the habit to eavesdrop on other people's courtyard?" Nan Hua asked slowly. "How could I have such habit?" Si Mo Fan refuted. He came out behind the tree leisurely. He knew very well that in front of Nan Hua, their presence hiding skills were simply useless. In the matter of hiding their presence, Nan Hua was simply the expert. If it was other people, they would not be able to hide in front of her at all. There was no point for him to pretend that he was not here. Better just came clean. "I was only worried about you when I heard the sound of metal clashing," Si Mo Fan said with a smile. Nan Hua blinked her eyes and then nodded. She sheathed her sword back and then turned around. Long Qian Xing glanced at Si Mo Fan and then said, "Leader Si, even if you treat Hua'er as if she's your daughter, I don't think it'll be suitable for you to come here in the middle of the night."
Si Mo Fan was stunned. "How dare I really treat her as my daughter?" He really didn't dare. As the granddaughter of Great General Nan, who would dare to say that they treated Nan Hua as their daughter? If it was Traveling Doctor Liu, then Old Master Nan might still be able to accept it since he's Nan Hua's master because there was a was a saying that a master was like a father. But Si Mo Fan?
Hehehe, he still treasured his little life and would never do something like that. If Old Master Nan were to hear that he treated Nan Hua as his daughter… he could estimate that the old General will come to him to settle the account. Long Qian Xing heard this and fell into silence. He had the faint feeling that Nan Hua purposely say that Si Mo Fan treated her like his daughter in front of him on purpose.
"Did young… I mean, Nan Hua said it?" Si Mo Fan's voice trembled a bit. Long Qian Xing glanced at Si Mo Fan and nodded lightly. Si Mo Fan turned around and crouched on the ground. He estimated that if Nan Hua's words to be heard by Old Master Nan, his future would definitely not very good.
Ahhhh, Young Miss!
Seeing Si Mo Fan like this, Long Qian Xing recalled the days when the people from Nan Family tried their best to push him away. Old Master Nan didn't even give him a good face and if not because he was a commander of Fei Yang Kingdom… he would end up being beaten up. Long Qian Xing silently lit a candle for Si Mo Fan. "…I'll go back now." Si Mo Fan didn't want to stay here even for a second longer. He hoped that Nan Hua quickly forgot this sentence and never ever said anything about him in front of Old Master Nan. He still treasured his life!
Long Qian Xing watched Si Mo Fan left, the words he was about to say before was forgotten after he saw Si Mo Fan's action. He turned around and saw Nan Hua watching from the open door. She was sitting by the door side and there was a faint light in her eyes. He smiled helplessly and crouched down in front of Nan Hua so that they were on the same eye level. "Is it fun?" Long Qian Xing asked. Nan Hua blinked her eyes. To be honest, she did propose to become Si Mo Fan's daughter in name in the past for some reasons. At that time, she was serious because she felt that it was quite convenient. But Si Mo Fan rejected vehemently because of Nan Hua's real identity. Si Mo Fan never dared to truly say that he was Nan Hua's father, even if it was only in name without any so called blood relationship. Now when she mentioned this again, she wanted to see more of their reaction than being serious. After all, it was unnecessary now. And…
"It's fun," Nan Hua replied, there was a faint smile in her eyes. She had never thought that pranking someone like this could also be quite fun. Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua helplessly. "You're really."
"Mhm?"
The next moment, Long Qian Xing leaned in and sealed Nan Hua's lips with his own.
