Nan Luo smiled brightly. "Finally! I have a lot to complain to Grandpa!"

"Luo didn\'t finish the assignment."

Nan Luo froze. It was then he recalled that his grandfather asked him to make a friend in the academy but since he spent most of his time in the residence, he didn\'t manage to make any friend. Would his grandfather be angry with him?

Old Master Nan didn\'t immediately return to the residence because he had to give his report to the palace first. It was only after some formality with the other generals and commander did he return to the residence.

"What happened during the time I was away?" Old Master Nan knew that there were not many events. The war was raging and most officials were busy with their task. Some of them were even sent outside the Capital City because of that.

Steward Tong gave brief description of the assassinations event. It had occurred a few times but there was only one remarkable one where Nan Hua was forced to make a move. The rest was mostly ordinary and didn\'t worth mentioning.

They served as the young master\'s training.

Old Master Nan nodded because he had arranged the assassinations to be left for his son to train. If Nan Luo didn\'t get used to this, he knew that Nan Luo wouldn\'t be able to withstand the live in the future.

He didn\'t want his grandson to only think that danger would only exist when he was prepared.

The battlefield did have rules but there were many methods to break these rules without appearing to be breaking it. Assassination was only one of the countless methods that he had encountered.

"Master Nan also paid a short visit."

"Nan Shu Cheng did?" Old Master Nan\'s eyes turned a bit cold. He looked at Steward Tong as his tone deepened. "Tell me everything."

Steward Tong didn\'t forget everything that occurred, so he recounted every single event to Old Master Nan. At the same time, he found out that the temperature grew colder and colder with each word he said.

It was as if Winter had come in the middle of Summer. The supposedly hot weather turned icy cold, making Steward Tong stammered a bit when he recounted everything that happened. And when Old Master Nan heard the short few sentences Nan Hua mentioned, he slammed the ground.

"What a good son I have. We\'re going."

"Ah, Old Master, Young Master and Young Miss are waiting for your return."

Old Master Nan furrowed his eyebrows. "Tell them that I\'ll join them during dinner."

"Yes."

Steward Tong watched Old Master Nan\'s back and felt that his back was drenched in sweat. He was absolutely sure that Old Master Nan would be trying to settle score with his own son. And given by how cold the temperature was, there might even be hail soon in Nan Family Residence.

Bang!

Nan Shu Cheng had just returned from his visit to his old friend when he found out that his father had come. His heart dropped when he saw his father in the main hall. The servants were trembling in fear as they didn\'t\' dare to get close to the raging old man in the middle.

"Father…"

"Nan Shu Cheng, do you know what you did?" Old Master Nan asked in anger.

Nan Shu Cheng gritted his teeth. He looked at his father. "Father, just because of a woman, you treat me like this?"

"Just because of a woman? Do you really think that I only do this because of her? I\'m telling you that from now on, you should forget about taking Nan Luo and Nan Hua back to here. They\'ll be staying in my place until they\'re married." Old Master Nan\'s tone was icy cold.

"Father, they\'re my children!"

"Do you really act as their father?" Old Master Nan looked at his son coldly.

Nan Shu Cheng gritted his teeth. Two years ago, he finally couldn\'t stand the sight of his wife and his daughter anymore, so he chose to let Concubine Qu openly oppress them. However, the incident instead spread outside.

The news of how he favored his concubine over his wife spread and it even caused Old Master Nan to be so enraged. Not only that, it had already caused him to be looked unfavorably by the other officials and even the Emperor.

It was also at that time, the poem that Nan Hua\'s made spread.

He didn\'t know who did it but he had gained the nickname of black water by some officials who disliked him. It caused him to experience several humiliations.

"I\'m…"

"If you really don\'t wish to show off your dirty linen outside anymore, stop bothering my grandchildren." Old Master Nan snorted. "If you\'re not my son, I would have long hacked you with my sword."

He had been trying to tolerate Nan Shu Cheng from time to time in the past, but when he saw his grandchildren being abused… He couldn\'t stand it any longer and chose to take his children away. Since he would be staying in the Capital City, trying to take care of two children were nothing much.

Besides, they were much better than his son.

Nan Shu Cheng looked at his father and gritted his teeth. "Are you still hoping for me to follow your steps to become a soldier?"

"Someone like you have no qualification to become a soldier." Old Master Nan was calmer now. He looked at his son. "Also, with your capabilities, you should have become a proper official rather than wasting your time to create more scandal."

"Father, you…"

"If you continued to try to harm my grandchildren, I wouldn\'t protect you any longer."

Nan Shu Cheng\'s pupil constricted when he heard his father\'s words.
