2157 Nan Hua’s Maidservants

But if they said that they didn’t care about each other, it would also be wrong.

Since they were siblings and had been taking care of each other when they were younger, it was impossible for there to be no familiar’s feelings between the two of them. It was just…

Xiao Yun was not sure what to talk about. “Where do you want to go, Mu Yan?” Xiao Yun finally changed the conversation. She didn’t know what to say to her brother, so she asked Mu Yan.

Mu Yan could clearly see Xiao Yun’s entanglement, so she held Xiao Yun’s hand. “I’ll accompany you to see your brother, alright?”

“Would it be fine?” Xiao Yun frowned.

“If you don’t want to, I can spend the time to take a nap.” Mu Yan chuckled. She has been quite tired after doing so many works, so she could take this chance to take a nap. But it was not really necessary.

Taking a nap?

Xiao Yun looked at Mu Yan helplessly. This was the same as telling her that Mu Yan actually didn’t have anything else to do. “Alright, have you talked with my brother lately?”

“I received some letters over the years,” Mu Yan replied. “It’s not much, but it’s relaying the information about the army and the situation with Young Master to Young Miss. I can’t tell you the details, though.”

Xiao Yun nodded in understanding as the two women walked away. There were only Chu Yue and Ran who were left, standing there. The two of them looked at each other.

To be honest, because Ran and Chu Yue were both assigned when Nan Hua was about to leave Nan Family Residence back then, the two of them were not really close to each other. If anything, they barely knew each other. It was only in the past few days that they have more interactions.

Previously, Ran could only spend more time with Xiao Yun while they stayed in that temple and did their duties. “Do you want to go together?” Chu Yue asked.

Ran shook her head. “I think I want to rest instead. I’m really tired.”

She stretched her hand that was a bit weak. Having to work hard in the past few weeks were not easy for her who has been living in the temple and only do light work all day longs. “In that case, I’m going to train first~.”

Chu Yue took out her sword and went to the training hall for the servants. There were also training locations for the servants and it was located a bit further away from other buildings to avoid disturbing others when they were practicing here.

Since Chu Yue was good at martial arts, she really liked going there.

There were also other servants who often used the place to train such as the guards or the others. Ran nodded and went back to her room to sleep.

Walking on the road, Chu Yue hummed a song and soon reached the training hall. There were not many people there, but she saw some familiar people. “You are… Dai?”

“Yes.” Dai, Feng Ao Si’s adjutant and also manservant, replied helplessly. He looked at Chu Yue and recognized her as the woman who accompanied Nan Hua on the battlefield.

“I thought that your physical strength was not good.” Chu Yue looked at Dai in confusion. Dai’s face turned black.

Who the hell spread that rumor?

His physical strength was indeed not as good as the monster Feng Ao Si, but it was not that bad either. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived for so long on the battlefield all these years.

How could he become a strategist of the army if he couldn’t follow along with the army?

Seeing Dai that was about to explode, Chu Yue silently retreated and then said, “I just heard it and it didn’t mean that it was true!”

“I know. You don’t have to stay so far away.” Dai rolled his eyes. “Si Kang will be here soon and help me practice.”

Si Kang is Feng Ao Kuai’s manservant and Adjutant. Since Feng Ao Kuai was already smart enough, he didn’t really need a strategist with him on the battlefield. What he needed was an adjutant who could fight and protect him.

This is where Si Kang came in.

While Si Kang’s strength was definitely not as monstrous as Feng Ao Si or those like him, but he was considered to be really strong. Moreover, he was also smart enough to be able to understand Feng Ao Kuai’s various instructions. Since he was not very remarkable, not many people knew him.

They only knew that Feng Ao Kuai used to have a trusted adjutant who still followed him as he become an official. “Si Kang?” Chu Yue muttered. “Isn’t he also quite weak?”

Dai: “….”

He silently took a step back and looked into the distance. He had the feeling that Chu Yue simply categorized everyone around her as weak aside from Feng Ao Si.

The problem is… there were not many people who could possibly defeat Feng Ao Si.

In terms of pure strength alone, no one dared to say for sure that they could defeat Feng Ao Si.

“Who says that I’m weak?” Si Kang came in and looked at Chu Yue speechlessly. He knew that she was Nan Hua’s maidservants, but she shouldn’t listen to nonsense rumors out there.

Just because he was not famous, it didn’t mean that he was not strong, okay?

Si Kang felt that he had to teach whoever spread the rumors a lesson.

“I only heard about it, but it’s not necessary the truth.” Chu Yue smiled and then raised the sword in her hand. “Shall we have a spar to prove this?”

Si Kang arched his eyebrows and smiled. “Challenge accepted.”

“After her, I’ll come and challenge you,” Dai added.

Hearing this man’s shameless request, Si Kang rolled his eyes but still nodded. He knew that Dai was hoping that Si Kang would be defeated under Chu Yue’s hand or at least exhaust most of his stamina.

In this way, Dai would have a chance to win.

After all, if it was about a contest of wits and so on, Dai would indeed have a chance to win against Si Kang.

But a chance was only a chance.

“Start!”

Clang!
