"In that case, we should go ahead. Father, please."

General Chi nodded and waved his hand. The carriage only consisted of supplies as the general and his son, along with the soldiers, were all riding horse. While it was fine for them to take carriage, their images as part of general\'s family would never allow them to do so.

Nan Luo watched them with cold eyes while his small body blocked Nan Hua behind him so that they wouldn\'t even be able to see her.

Meanwhile, Hou Liang signaled for the servants to work faster so that they could leave this place. There was nothing good in staying in the same place for a long period of time. Who knew whether those b***** would start making their moves.

"Young Master, the carriage is repaired."

General Chi\'s procession was not far ahead.

Nan Luo grabbed Nan Hua\'s hand. "Hua\'er, let\'s get inside. Don\'t stay outside too long or you\'re going to dirty your eyes with unsightly view."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. There was really nothing outside, but since her twin brother said that it would dirty her eyes, she followed him obediently. Her attention was still covertly analyzing the group of people in the darkness, though.

They hadn\'t moved at all.

Hou Liang sighed. "Young Master, while I appreciated that you\'re smart. I would like it if you can control yourself better."

Nan Luo\'s eyes and action still betrayed his real emotion while his words were relatively polite.

"I\'m good." Nan Luo\'s lips twitched as he turned his head away. He sat down in the carriage and crossed his arms. "It\'s not like they can infer that much from a kid like me, right?"

"They\'re not generals for nothing, Young Master Nan." Hou Liang smiled helplessly.

The young master was too impulsive.

On the other hand, Hou Liang passed a glance at Nan Hua. She was keeping an ice cold expression that seemed to be telling everyone not to get close to her. No matter what happened outside, it didn\'t seem to affect her in the slightest bit.

The young miss was too indifferent.

Hou Liang looked at the sky and wondered how the Heaven designed the twins to be so different from each other. The only good thing was that the two of them somehow had good relationship with each other and would not harm the other party in the slightest bit.

For that, he felt grateful.

"We shall depart once more."

"Yes!"

Nan Luo looked outside and mumbled under his breath, "That old fogey Hou is too sharp. It\'s not like I don\'t want to control myself but looking at their faces only makes me want to punch them on the face."

Listening to her twin brother\'s mumbling, Nan Hua felt that there was something else in the picture.

"Luo?"

"It\'s nothing, Hua\'er." Nan Luo waved his hand and grinned. He had promised his grandfather to not let Nan Hua knew about this matter and only let her knew that Nan Family and Chi Family were not in good terms. He waved his hand and pointed outside. "Look outside, since we\'re already near Yi Shang Temple, there will be some changes in the terrain too…"

Nan Hua watched as Nan Luo changed the topics and didn\'t dwell on it too much. She knew that with her current skill, knowing too much wouldn\'t do her any good either. In fact, too much information could instead bring her to ruins. Her brother and grandfather didn\'t want her to know must be because they themselves couldn\'t do anything about it.

Somehow, an unknown feeling began to ripple within her heart.

But it disappeared as soon as it appeared.

"Xiao Yan, how many people are there in Yi Shang Temple?" Nan Luo asked curiously.

Xiao Yan was the name of Nan Luo\'s personal servant whom he brought along this time. He was Xiao Yun\'s older brother and the two of them were sold to Nan Family a long time ago. Since they were still young, they were assigned as the little young master and young miss\'s personal servant.

Xiao Yan was walking beside the carriage. They were not marching to war and it was also impossible to prepare too many horses. With them having to climb, some servants were instead walking to guide the horse instead to make sure that they would not flip over the carriage.

"Young Master, based on the information received, there are at least 10 different families inside."

"10? That\'s quite a lot." Nan Luo pursed his lips. It was not like he would interact with all of them, but it should be good for him to know who were there and what they might possibly do.

"Tell me the influential families."

"Yes. First, there\'s Imperial Princess Yue who comes to take shelter and pray for her mother\'s wellbeing on the journey to the further temple. She\'s accompanied by the royal guard and later on, General Chi will be responsible for her safety. General Chi brought his son, Young Commander Chi, Chi Song Lian inside."

"I already know this. Who else?" Nan Luo clearly didn\'t want to hear too much about Chi Family.

"Shangguan Family also send their young misses here. They didn\'t specify which misses come here, but they should be from the main lineage considering the heavy protecting deployed in Yi Shang Temple."

Nan Luo nodded. Shangguan Family was also a general family since their family head was a great general at the battlefield.

Though, he didn\'t have good relationship with the brats from this family.

"And lastly…" Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Nan Family also send their children here."
