Astral Flower-Chapter 538: Calm before the Storm (2)

"Don’t worry, you’re not alone," Qing Shu Lian said to Tian Lin.

"You can’t defeat the mecha Ai either?" Tian Lin asked with hope.

"Yes." Qing Shu Lian scratched the back of his head. His own physical strength and mental strength were relatively ordinary. So if he was asked to defeat these mecha robots, he couldn’t say for sure that he was able to do it.

It was a bit embarrassing to say, but Qing Shu Lian could only be honest.

"In that case, let’s all go practice together!"

"YESS!"

Everyone started pairing for their practice and Long Qian Xing came to Nan Hua. Seeing his look, Nan Hua could guess that he wanted to practice with her.

"Senior Long, is it not tiring?"

"Tiring?" Long Qian Xing asked back and then chuckled. He shook his head. "Since I have a goal I want to achieve, then I’ll work hard to achieve it. It’s not tiring at all for me."

It was not tiring?

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing, not really understanding why this man was so stubborn. He would only hurt himself and no matter how Nan Hua warned him and told him about herself, Long Qian Xing was not willing to listen.

Forget it.

She knew that it would be impossible for him to listen to her words about that matter. She didn’t want to give him any hope, but he was not even willing to stay away from her.

"Let’s train."

Long Qian Xing smiled. "Yes."

Any direct approach would be blocked by Nan Hua, so he was trying to bid his time this time. Hopefully, it would be more successful to say at least.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The virtual mechas were fighting agains each other. Tian Lin was being chased and experienced the feeling of ’death’ several times, Qing Shu Lian was honing himself slowly but surely, feeling rather apprehensive with his slow progress. And the others were all having variety of progress.

Everything seemed normal.

But those who truly understood realized that this was nothing more than a calm before the storm.

Because more and more people would arrive in Green Planet soon and chaos would ensue.

...

<Outside, Nan Family>

Old Master Nan looked at his son, who had only returned from the battlefield. He had heard parts about what happened with Grass Planet and the few others. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried, especially because they got attacked repeatedly.

Now seeing his son’s return, it could be said that his heart was put down from his throat.

"It’s good to see you back, Hai Yan," Old Master Nan said slowly.

Nan Hai Yan smiled faintly. "I’m back father."

"The mission is done?"

"More or less. The people from the Human Association is taking over the mission because of some reasons. That old long will return in a few months after he was done with the handover and arranged for some people from our planet to monitor it," Nan Hai Yan replied.

He returned earlier because he wanted to settle some problems in the Nan Family aside from wanting to pay a visit to his daughter. It has been a while and he heard that the Military Academy A was not very peaceful lately. He hoped to go there and take a look at his daughter with his own eyes.

"I see." Old Master Nan nodded. He thought about another matter and then asked, "How’s your divorce?"

"It’s done," Nan Hai Yan said and then rubbed his nose. "I finished all the documents just before my return, Father. Tomorrow, I’m planning to go to Military Academy A to pay a visit to Hua’er."

Hua’er.

Hearing this name, Old Master Nan nodded his head. He smiled faintly. "It has been a while since Nan Hua is in Military Academy A. If you go there, you should also pay attention to the security matters. Even if Yan Jin Nian is there, it’s not that easy for that girl to find all the spies."

"Yan Jin Nian? That famous... uh, psycologist something?" Nan Hai Yan forgot about the terms.

Old Master Nan nodded. "I think that’s the word? Physicology expert?"

The butler: "..."

He had the faint feeling that these two needed to go back and learn language again for a period of time. That was not how it was spelled!

But he didn’t want to interrupt the father and son’s conversation. These two didn’t have that much time to spend together due to their profession and past.

"Go to rest. Oh right, if you’re there, try to be a bit patient with Long Qian Xing."

"What did that brat do?" Nan Hai Yan frowned.

He didn’t have that good impression about the boy who wanted to snatch his daughter away. Well, no father liked to see a wolf that wanted to pounce on his daughter and stole her away.

Even though Nan Hai Yan had already held back, he didn’t seem to tolerate Long Qian Xing that much.

"Well, apparently he got rejected." Old Master Nan laughed out loud when he thought about this.

Not long ago, Old Master Long called him and complained that his granddaughter was too precious. Even someone like Long Qian Xing could be rejected.

Of course, Old Master Nan only said that his granddaughter is the best and that Long Qian Xing was not worthy of her.

This resulted in them bickered again for an entire hour before they were stopped by their respective doctor to rest. Even Old Madam Long had to pull her husband away in order to stop their bicker.

They hadn’t bickered for such a long time in a while, so it was very refreezing.

And also quite fun.

To be honest, Old Master Nan was a bit worried about Nan Hua. She seemed to reject the approach of Long Qian Xing more than anything, so he hoped his son could talk to his granddaughter about this.

It didn’t seem to be that suitable for him to be the one to step forward.
