Chapter 358 We’ll Meet Again (2)

"Master, Young Commander Long is here."

Old Master Nan sighed and nodded. "Tell him to come in."

"Yes, Master."

Seeing the sinister gaze flashed by Old Master Nan\'s eyes, Nan Hua didn\'t want to know what he was planning in store for Long Qian Xing.

Nan Hua could also sense the killing intent permeating from Nan Luo. She chose not to mind him while her mind was thinking about Long Qian Xing. Considering how her family members reacted, would the dinner even be enjoyable for Long Qian Xing?

Did her request to meet with him this time not good?

While Nan Hua was thinking, Long Qian Xing arrived. Dressed in dark blue clothes, Long Qian Xing looked like a young scholar. His long hair was tied neater than it usually was when he was roaming around. This gave him the impression of a clean and responsible person.

However, the atmosphere actually smelt like gunpowder as almost all pair of eyes were not looking at him pleasantly.

Long Qian Xing was not shaken as he cupped his fist in order to greet them. "Long Qian Xing greets Grandfather, Madam Feng, First Young Master Nan, and Hua\'er."

Nan Luo pursed his lips. There was nothing wrong with the way Long Qian Xing addressed them, but he felt irked whenever he thought that Nan Hua would be taken by this young man in the future.

He didn\'t want to give his sister to anyone!

Feng Ao Kuai was also still feeling a bit dissatisfied.

Old Master Nan waved his hand. "It\'s been a while, Long Qian Xing."

"Grandfather," Long Qian Xing called out once more. "Thank you for agreeing to my request and allowing me to join the dinner."

"Hmm, right." Old Master Nan narrowed his eyes. He originally wanted to reject but when he heard that his granddaughter also wanted to meet with him, he naturally couldn\'t bring himself to reject him. "This old bone is not that strict."

Long Qian Xing smiled faintly.

Nan Si Qiao smiled. "You may seat over there, Young Commander Long."

"Please don\'t be so polite with me, Madam Feng." Long Qian Xing bowed and sat down beside Nan Luo. Nan Hua was on the other side and it didn\'t look like Nan Luo would let them sit next to each other.

Nan Luo looked at Long Qian Xing with displeasure. It\'s been a while, Young Master Long."

"Indeed it has, Young Master Nan." Long Qian Xing smiled. "Have your skill improved since last time?"

"Yes." Nan Luo nodded. "I have been training hard."

"Good. I\'ll be waiting for the day you can officially enter the battlefield." Long Qian Xing smiled. Since Nan Luo was the beloved grandson of Old Master Nan, Old Master Nan naturally wouldn\'t send him to the battlefield when he was still 10 years old.

There was no need to hurry.

It was better to strengthen the basic first before sending him to that dangerous place.

There were only a few people who would send their children to the frontline...

When Long Qian Xing thought about that, his dark eyes lowered. He passed a look at Nan Hua, who was sitting beside Nan Luo. "Hua\'er, Big Brother will be leaving for a long time."

"Long time?" Feng Ao Si was stunned. "Are you going to roam around the battlefield?"

Roam around meant that he would be staying at the frontline for a long period of time. It was not like soldiers were not allowed to go back home but if their commander was at the frontline, they couldn\'t possibly go back on their own. Thus, having a commander who was staying at the frontline all the time could be quite taxing.

Long Qian Xing nodded. "At least 3 years or so."

3 years.

Nan Hua didn\'t find this number that weird. She knew that Long Qian Xing had to hone his skill and got some promotions along the way. His powerful ability would only be showcased fully after he become a proper general.

General, huh?

The current Long Qian Xing would still take a long time before he could possibly reach that rank.

"We\'ll meet again, Brother Long." Nan Hua raised her head and stared at Long Qian Xing.

Long Qian Xing gazed deeply on the girl\'s clear gaze. For some reason, he felt that the little girl somehow understood why he had to leave and why it would take a long time. A faint smile tugged on the corner of his lips. "Mhm, you\'re right. We\'ll meet again."

Watching the two children, Old Master Nan somehow felt toothache. Why did it feel as if the two of them were flirting with each other when they were clearly just children who shouldn\'t have understood those things?

He snorted. "Let\'s eat."

"Yes."

This time, General Feng was not present because he was still busy. Even though Nan Si Qiao wanted to stay with him, he had his duty as the general who protected Han Zhong City.

As they ate, Nan Si Qiao noticed Nan Hua pushed another plate towards Long Qian Xing and was reminded of the time during New Year back then. It was uncommon to do this, but she could see Long Qian Xing was willing to pick the food from the plate that Nan Hua pushed to him.

Their interaction was somewhat subtle yet warm.

Lowering her eyes, Nan Si Qiao smiled faintly. It was good that the two children were not against the arranged marriage set by their grandfathers or it would be quite messy.

The dinner was short.

After it was done, Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and opened her mouth but couldn\'t bring herself to ask for him to stay. From the way her grandfather and her other family member\'s gaze, they would skin her alive if she said anything improper.

Thus, she merely waved her hand towards Xiao Yun, who was staying at the back.

"Hua\'er, why do you suddenly want to meet with Young Commander Long?" Nan Luo asked suspiciously after the young commander had left.
