Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2148  Long Ao Ming’s Return

"Grandpa," Nan Hua called out, her tone sounded a bit helpless. Sometimes, Old Master Nan was truly childish. "You can go now," Old Master Nan said. "Your aunt said that you're not done yet with what you have to do?"

"Aunt meant the dress." Nan Hua thought about the dress that she had prepared and smiled faintly. "Don't worry, it's almost done, Grandpa."

The result of practicing and working on her embroidery for several days was that her own embroidery was almost done. However, there were still some things that Nan Si Qiao had to do to check the result. "Good." Old Master Nan nodded. He looked at his granddaughter who had grown up and sighed. "Don't be too tired, Hua'er. Remember to make yourself happy, okay?"

"Yes, Grandpa." Nan Hua nodded. She would not wrong herself, but she would also learn to accept others and so on. Because she would be living with someone else for the rest of her life.

The grandfather and granddaughter proceeded to talk with each other about various matters for some time.

…

<Long Family Residence>

Long Qian Xing looked at his father, Great General Long, Long Ao Ming, who stopped in front of the Long Family Residence. He felt a bit strange because from what he knew, his father should have been busy at the south east area.

The fall of Shi Long Kingdom was only some time ago and there were still many things yet to be done.

How could Long Ao Ming be here? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Father?" Long Qian Xing asked carefully.

"I'm here," Long Ao Ming said unhurriedly and alighted down from his horse. Because he came back in a hurry, there were not many people who knew about his arrival today. It was just that the guards immediately recognized him and allowed him to come back. Long Ao Ming looked at his son carefully. Not long from now, Long Qian Xing would also be a married man and had to be responsible for his family. He was no longer the same brat as before who were only making trouble around him. This brat had grown up. "I can't possibly miss your marriage," Long Ao Ming said unhurriedly and then moved his gaze to Long Family Residence behind Long Qian Xing.

After the matter with the women that the previous Emperor sent to him was settled, Long Ao Ming still didn't spend much time in the Long Family Residence. It was more like, he got so used to fight on the frontline that sometimes he forgot to come back home.

His comrades were all fighting side by side, so he had never felt really alone when he was on the frontline.

But now, Long Ao Ming felt relieved.

No matter what, he still has a mother and a son. In a few days, he would have a daughter in law, which meant his family had grown.

He might be a great general of Fei Yang Kingdom, but he's also a son, a man, and a father. He couldn't possibly spent the rest of his life staying on the frontline all the time. There would be times when he had to come back and rest. "Where's Mother?" Long Ao Ming asked.

Long Qian Xing glanced at Long Ao Ming and then replied, "Grandma is resting at the back courtyard. The doctor suggested for her not to move around so much."

The so called doctor was more like Old Madam Long's disciple who came to check on Old Madam Long. Aside from him, Old Madam Long would check herself and make appropriate estimation about how her body's situation was.

After all, she was also a doctor.

The disciple was there to make sure that Old Madam Long's judgement was correct. Long Ao Ming nodded and walked to the back courtyard.

Long Qian Xing looked at Long Ao Ming's back and shook his head. This father of his had never spent so much time with his son and instead spent so much time on the battlefield.

Though, Long Qian Xing never blamed him.

Because he knew very well that as the Great General of Fei Yang Kingdom, the responsibility on Long Ao Ming's shoulder was really big. He couldn't be willful and had to do his responsibility well.

Both for himself and the kingdom he promised to protect. Long Qian Xing didn't go to the backyard because he knew that his grandmother would definitely scold his father. He had been scolded a lot when he first returned back then and didn't want to add more scolding.

Rather than that, Long Qian Xing would just go out and finish some things that he hadn't finished yet. In addition, he had to see some people. Just as Long Qian Xing guessed, Old Madam Long scolded Long Ao Ming fiercely until the man couldn't say anything else. Long Ao Ming also didn't want to refute because it was true that he had spent most of his life on the battlefield and kind of ignore his mother and son at home. After enough scolding, Old Madam Long looked at Long Ao Ming and asked, "What's your plan next, Ao Ming?"

Hearing his mother's question, Long Ao Ming raised his head and saw his mother's gaze. He was silent for a moment and then replied, "Mother, I still have to go to the frontline for some time. At least, until all kingdoms are conquered, I can't stay here all the time."

He had made a promise to serve Fei Yang Kingdom and to help Fei Yang Kingdom achieve victory in various battles.

But at the same time, Long Ao Ming also wanted to spend more time with his mother.

So he gave himself time.

Until the entire land was conquered, he couldn't retire yet. Two kingdoms were left.

And Long Ao Ming knew very well that it would definitely take some time for these two kingdoms to be conquered. But he believed it would be done.

Because Fei Yang Kingdom is strong and they would not stop halfway.
