Chapter 884: Departure

Nan Luo was baffled.         

Thankfully, Feng Ao Kuai didn\'t press for an answer despite his gloomy mood. They had a brief meeting with the other generals before they departed to the West Valley. Nan Hua had also told Old Master Nan about the fact that they could use that valley freely for the time being.     

And Feng Ao Kuai had a long talk with Old Master Nan.     

Though, his expression turned darker when Nan Luo saw the other party the next morning.     

"Are you alright?" Nan Luo asked carefully.     

"I\'ll be fine." Feng Ao Kuai was gloomy. He looked at Nan Luo and silently hoped that Nan Luo would be put in the same predicament as him in the future. It would be unfair if he was the only one who suffered like this.     

When there was a chance, he would definitely support his grandfather when he wanted to set up Nan Luo.     

"What happened exactly?" Nan Luo was confused.     

Nan Hua was silent for a moment before whispering to Nan Luo, telling him Old Master Nan\'s decision not long ago. She was not there, but she had more than enough people who worked under her to tell her what her grandfather was doing when she was away.     

"Bwahahaha pfft!"     

Upon hearing what happened, Nan Luo couldn\'t stop laughing.     

But when he sensed the glare from Feng Ao Kuai, he quickly clasped his mouth to make sure that the other party couldn\'t see it. This was the first time he saw Feng Ao Kuai being so troubled yet didn\'t know what to do.     

If it was enemies who troubled him, he would surely retaliate fiercely.     

But it was his grandfather and mother who set him up.     

Tell him, who should he beat up?     

He definitely couldn\'t touch his mother and would never do that even if the world fell apart. As for his grandfather, he couldn\'t even beat Old Master Nan and always ended up being beaten up so badly.     

Thus, he could only sulk alone.     

It was not his decision, but he was the one who had to bear the burnt.     

Feng Ao Kuai showed a dark and terrifying smile. "When you show even the slightest bit of interest, I\'ll make sure to tell Grandfather about it."     

"Wait, don\'t! I still want to be free!" Nan Luo raised his hand hurriedly.     

Feng Ao Kuai scoffed.     

Nan Hua only blinked her eyes when she watched their interaction. She tilted her head in confusion.     

It was not something that should be laughed by others, right?     

She had her own arrangement ever since she was a kid too, so it shouldn\'t be that different from the two of them. And it was not like children would be able to control their own marriage as it was the elders who arranged them.     

"Hey, can you tell me too?" Feng Ao Si was the only one who still didn\'t get it.     

"You don\'t have to know."         

Feng Ao Kuai really felt like sulking all the way. But in the end, he decided to toss the matter to the back of his head since there was really nothing that he could do. He better focused on the war in front of him.     

When he returned and saw his mother, he would have a good talk with her.     

He really hoped that his mother was not so anxious to find a good partner for him because he really didn\'t want to get married so early. His plan to stay at the battlefield would be at jeopardy if he had to settle down so quickly.     

The West Valley was very silent.     

When the soldiers passed the West Valley, some of them could sense the people who were watching from the sides. They were nervous, but they tried their best to trust their leaders.     

None of the people from the Xia Mountains came down and disturbed them.     

It was as if they didn\'t exist in their eyes even though they clearly bypassed the West Valley openly.     

So when it was night time, the soldiers were having fervent discussion about their experience.     

"I was so nervous when we pass the West Valley. But it seems that there\'s really no need to be so nervous."     

"Yes, me too."     

"I nearly couldn\'t take a step forward when I sense that there were people who were watching from the dark. It\'s so terrifying."     

"The generals wouldn\'t just stay silent if there\'s an attack."     

"Oh right, there\'s also…"     

At this time, Long Qian Xing passed by the soldiers towards the area for the young commanders. He and Chi Song Lian were the two highest ranked young commander amongst all of them.     

Naturally, it also meant that they would be grouped.     

"There are four generals in this battle, General Long is the leader. General Chi will be the supporter and later on departed after we have settled the main battleground. General Cao is here to gain more experience because he\'s relatively new."     

The others nodded when they heard Long Qian Xing gave brief review over the outlook of their kingdom generals.     

"Chi Song Lian will be working together with me for the time being. The rest of you will be under Mu Sheng Xi."     

The three of them turned their head to look at Mu Sheng Xi.     

Mu Sheng Xi\'s face also turned dark. He was not really good at talking and didn\'t have much interest to lead the other young commanders. And even though it was said to be the others, there were only three others who would be under him.     

Feng Ao Si, Feng Ao Kuai, and Nan Luo.     

And based on their ranking, it meant that there would be a total of 6000 soldiers under the four of them.     

It was still quite a large number.     

"Wouldn\'t it be better to split the number of soldiers evenly?" Feng Ao Kuai asked.     

"No. They need two teams, one is to fight at the frontline and the other one as the backup." Long Qian Xing looked at the four of them. "You all are the backup."
