Astral Flower-Chapter 481: I’m Fine

Old Master Long’s expression froze as he looked at his wife helplessly.

He silently cursed his grandson in his heart for provoking two ancestors who were hard to deal with.

As a grandfather, Old Master Long felt immense headache. When Long Qian Xing returned in the future, he had to teach this damn grandson a lesson so that he would not always pit his grandfather.

Ugh...

He hoped his son come back soon to wipe up the mess his grandson caused.

...

<Nan Family Residence>

Old Master Nan felt more comfortable after scolding Old Master Long. He knew very well that scolding the other party would not change anything.

He looked at the monitoring that the academy sent to him to explain about what had happened at that time. Looking at the way Long Qian Xing rushed out of the arena, one would think that Nan Hua was heavily injured.

But he obtained the doctor’s appraisal afterwards and knew that Nan Hua was only bruised. With their current medical ability, it was a very small wound that would heal in just a few hours.

Aside from the first pain, there wouldn’t be any other pain.

But Old Master Nan still felt a bit distressed when he thought that his granddaughter would be injured more often in the future.

"Old Master, Young Miss is in the military academy. She will grow stronger in time," the butler consoled.

"I know, you don’t have to explain so much." Old Master Nan waved his hand and looked at the monitoring once more.

He was actually quite satisfied with Long Qian Xing and seeing that he was worried for his granddaughter, he could see that this man was genuinely worried. Even though it felt a bit excessive, but it was good that he prioritized his granddaughter’s safety first.

It was just...

Old Master Nan sighed.

He looked at the report from his son about his mission not long ago. Because it involved a lot of confidential matters, he was only briefed about a few of them that was approved to let him know.

There might not be any peace anytime soon.

"Doctor Qing, do you think I can recover in a few months?" Old Master Nan asked, his tone was solemn.

Doctor Qing was the private military doctor who was responsible for Old Master Nan’s health during this period of time. He looked at Old Master Nan and replied, "Full recovery is impossible at such short period of time. At most, you can do normal activity but for you to return to the battlefield, another year of recovery is needed."

Another year. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Old Master Nan closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

If it was not because of his injury, he would be able to accompany his children and grandchildren more.

It was frustrating.

"Old Master..." Butler Hou looked at his master worriedly.

"I’m fine." Old Master Nan opened his eyes. "Keep watch of my granddaughter. Let her be able to grow up safely in the academy."

"Yes, Old Master."

...

<Military Academy A>

Nan Hua was brought out by Long Qian Xing. She looked at the man in front of her and asked, "The injury is not serious. There’s no need to worry so much, Brother Long."

She felt that Long Qian Xing overreacted. Her own defense had increased as her physical strength increased, so even if Long Qian Xing’s attack reached her, she would not be injured heavily.

Some bruises are normal.

"You’re a bit stronger than expected," Long Qian Xing replied. "Still, you have to rest so that you can recover as fast as possible."

Nan Hua nodded.

She knew that with her real physical strength had reached B Rank, it would be quite impossible for her to fake some of her body’s natural ability. The defense was only one of them.

Thankfully, there were indeed some people who have higher defense than others and Nan Hua could just make up that reason. It was not something that would be suspected considering that everyone’s physique is different.

"I know, Brother Long."

"Let me take you to your dormitory’s building."

Boys were not allowed to enter girls’ dormitory building, so Long Qian Xing could only lead Nan Hua to the front of the building at most. But it was already better than nothing at all.

"Ok." Nan Hua nodded and then added, "Next time, there’s no need to worry so much about my injury, Brother Long. Bruises are normal in the arena."

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows and looked at Nan Hua beside him. "Are you planning to continue the spar?"

Nan Hua tilted her head. "Do you not want to, Brother Long?"

"It’s fine." Long Qian Xing smiled faintly.

With Nan Hua sparring with him every week, she would be able to practice her hands for the military boxing skills. It was not usually used very much, but it was good for foundation and also to defend oneself.

Nan Hua hummed in a low voice.

The main reason why she wanted to spar was to control her own strength and also to practice using the military boxing more often. She had only learned these set of technique in the military academy and had to get used to show it on the surface.

Even if it was only going to be used for a limited period of time, Nan Hua didn’t want to show any loophole.

"The dormitory is really close." Long Qian Xing looked at the building in front of him, feeling slightly dissatisfied. If only it was possible, he hoped to be able to spend more time with Nan Hua.

"I’ll see you later, Brother Long," Nan Hua bid her farewell.

"Rest well, Hua’er." Long Qian Xing nodded and watched as Nan Hua entered the dormitory building. He took a deep breath as he evaluated his own performance and sighed deeply.

He felt that he did overreact a bit.

It was just that he didn’t want to see Nan Hua injured at all if it was possible.
