"Study, is it? I heard that your result has been so poor lately, Older Brother. Do you perhaps need some help to study? I can spare you some time to help you study." Nan Hou Xiang smiled.

His insinuation was clear: he, as the younger brother, was smarter than Nan Luo. It was to the point that the older brother would need the younger brother to help him out.

Feng Ao Si\'s face darkened.

However, Nan Hua merely chuckled. "You? I\'m afraid that your help will be unnecessary for me. If you\'re so worried about my result why don\'t you try to increase your training in the martial arts too so that you wouldn\'t always be looking up."

One could only look up when they were at the bottom.

Nan Luo knew that Nan Hou Xiang\'s martial arts were relatively poor. It was always the key point that Nan Luo used to mock his younger brother. The two of them would always find another term to speak of how poor the other party was.

Nan Hou Xiang\'s eyes turned cold. "I see that you\'ve grown more confident, Older Brother. In that case, I won\'t disturb you."

"I wouldn\'t disturb you from studying either." Nan Hua showed a smile filled with mockery.

As Nan Hou Xiang walked away, Feng Ao Si snorted. "Don\'t pay attention to him. He\'s only jealous because of your ability."

Nan Hua arched her eyebrows. "Nan Hou Xiang naturally walks a different path compared to me because his future lies inside the hall. I\'m pursuing a path where I can roam around freely and not restricted by these rules."

"Good point!"

"Of course!"

Feng Ao Kuai was looking at Nan Hua with complicated feeling inside his heart. He had been thinking that it would be hard for him to think of Nan Hua as Nan Luo but right now… he kept on forgetting that the person in front of him was Nan Hua.

The way she walked, the way she talked, the way her expression mocked the other party.

Everything was the perfect replica of Nan Luo.

It was so scary to think that the person in front of him was the very same person who had been keeping an indifferent expression all the time. Not only indifferent, she was also someone who didn\'t usually say much and acted in accordance to women\'s etiquette.

But now, she was breaking all of them.

The lesson started and they were learning how to speak. It was a rather boring class and most students were struggling to stay awake. Even the males had to be careful with their words, which was why this class was made.

Though, it was usually fairly short.

"The class is over." Feng Ao Si stretched his hand, feeling a bit numb. "I want to head to the field. Do you want to come over?"

"Do you think Young Master Shangguan is on the field today?" Nan Hua asked casually. She was originally planning on imitating Nan Luo for several days and in one of the next few days, she should be able to stumble upon him.

He shouldn\'t have left the Capital City yet since there was no news from Shangguan Family.

"I don\'t know." Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head. "However, I know that he\'s definitely not going to run away. You still have to beat him in archery since the result last time is draw."

"Hmm, sparring and horse riding?" Nan Hua probed.

"Yeah. You win in the spar since that young master is quite weak. As for horse riding." Feng Ao Si\'s eyes turned dark. "You know what happened."

"You shouldn\'t talk about other people openly, Brother," Feng Ao Kuai reminded them that they were in public. It didn\'t matter what they were talking in private, but they were not allowed to talk badly about other people in public.

It would affect their image and possibly caused their family\'s name honor to be looked down upon.

"I know." Feng Ao Si pursed his lips and no longer talked.

Nan Hua was also observing these two\'s interaction when she was not present. It looked like Feng Ao Kuai was even more quiet than she was. If it was unnecessary, Feng Ao Kuai would not take the initiative to talk in the slightest bit.

As they entered the field, they could see several people were also using the field from a distance.

"Young Master Shangguan," Feng Ao Si called out upon recognizing one of them. His eyes turned dark. There was no way he could fail to recognize Shangguan Yi after interacting with the other party several times.

Shangguan Yi was talking with his friends when he heard his name called out. Furrowing his eyebrows, he turned around. His eyes widened when he saw the three of them. He was already sure that Nan Luo would be bedridden for at least a week, which meant that they wouldn\'t be able to compete anymore until his return.

What should he do when he found out that Nan Luo was actually appearing before him just two days later?

"First… First Young Master Nan?" Shangguan Yi asked in disbelief.

Nan Hua smirked and walked closer confidently. "You seem to be very scared. Are you worried that you recognize the wrong person, Young Master Shangguan?"

Shangguan Yi\'s face turned red. Since Nan Hua and Nan Luo were both still 9 years old, their voices were still rather childish. It was really hard to differentiate their voice from one another unless they were very familiar with the twins.

"How come you\'re here?"

"I\'m lucky and didn\'t actually land that badly, so after rest and medicine, I can come to the academy.." Nan Hua looked at Shangguan Yi and lifted her chin a bit. "Do you want to take back your words now, Young Master Shangguan?"
