Chapter 448 Interest (2)

That man.

The only reason why Lin Yuan didn\'t dare to say the name was because the person he was talking about was the current Emperor, Emperor Yang Zhou. If he were to utter the name, there would be a lot of people who turned their head to look in his direction.

"He did?" Song Chuan was surprised.

The two of them knew that Long Qian Xing and Emperor Yang Zhou were close. They also had a chance to meet with Emperor Yang Zhou privately a few times, but they didn\'t manage to discuss a lot.

Hearing what Lin Yuan said, Song Chuan wondered just what did Lin Yuan talked with Emperor Yang Zhou back then.

Long Qian Xing\'s eyes flickered. He remembered that when he had just come to this world, he felt that having an arranged marriage was a drag. Because in his original world, marriage was mostly based on their will and not arranged. He accidentally blurted out his thoughts back then.

Of course, he never had any intention to break it without any proper reason. Emperor Yang Zhou even looked at him in the face and said seriously to consider about this matter. If he did have a solid reason, Emperor Yang Zhou didn\'t mind intervening by giving an Imperial Edict.

But Long Qian Xing hadn\'t even met Nan Hua back then and only knew her from the memory, so he let it be.

After meeting Nan Hua, Long Qian Xing didn\'t really think much about her. But yesterday…. He realized that the young Nan Hua had grown to be very beautiful, much more than his expectation.

He knew that he had some interests now.

The arrangement that his grandfather and grandmother made when he was still a kid didn\'t seem to be that bad anymore.

"Oh, I seem to say that in the past." Long Qian Xing was calm.

"In that case…"

"But I take back my words."

Lin Yuan nearly choked when he heard what Long Qian Xing said. He looked at his friend with incredulous expression as if he was wondering whether Long Qian Xing was saying the truth or not.

He really wanted to say that a gentleman never took back their words but he was sure that Long Qian Xing would say that he was a not a gentleman. After all, neither one of them ever consider themselves as a good person.

"You… do you really agree with this arrangement?"

"It didn\'t seem that bad and I don\'t want more troubles." Long Qian Xing had enough trouble in his home. His grandmother also liked Nan Hua very much so if he married her, it should be fine.

Lin Yuan looked at Long Qian Xing deeply and realized that even though Long Qian Xing did have some interest in the young girl, it was very faint. It seemed that he only had some interest and simply didn\'t want to break off the engagement because it was a hassle.

At that thought, Lin Yuan became speechless.

Even Song Chuan was staring at Long Qian Xing while contemplating in his mind. He didn\'t expect that after meeting a few times, Long Qian Xing would truly have an interest in that young girl.

"My friend finally grew up. How about if you accompany me to Red District…."

"You can go by yourself."

Lin Yuan looked at Long Qian Xing with an \'I know it\' expression. He seemed to know that Long Qian Xing was a principled person and would not be shaken with his words.

"Song Chuan, what should I do to make him listen to me?"

"Why do you even want him to follow you?" Song Chuan was speechless.

Long Qian Xing ignored his friend\'s lament as he observed the little girl. He took notice of how Nan Hua was still as calm as ever as she sat down. Not long afterwards, a young girl appeared and began to bother Nan Hua.

However, her expression remained cold and placid.

"Eh, isn\'t that Second Young Miss Nan?" Lin Yuan finally noticed that Long Qian Xing was still paying close attention at Nan Hua.

"Second Young Miss Nan?" Long Qian Xing asked. It was only now he felt that his knowledge over Nan Family was a bit lacking. While he knew about Nan Hua\'s father and also that annoying concubine, he didn\'t pay much attention to her half siblings.

It seemed that he had to ask his men to pay more attention to Nan Family in the future.

"Yes… don\'t tell me that you don\'t know her?"

"I don\'t."

Lin Yuan was speechless but thinking about how Long Qian Xing spent most of his time at the frontline, he chose to tell more about the Nan Family. Beside him, Song Chuan also added a few more points to let him know the situation over there.

Long Qian Xing listened carefully. He had known some matters but some others were still new to him.

For example, he had just found out that Nan Xin spread some news about Nan Hua in the noble girls\' circle. Because Nan Hua was in Wind City, it was impossible for her to refute the words openly.

"She\'s not a good person." Lin Yuan scoffed. "Unfortunately, I can\'t participate directly in the women\'s battle."

"She won\'t lose."

"Huh?"

The other two turned to look at Long Qian Xing but the young man didn\'t bother to look at them. He himself was a bit surprised that he had such a high opinion about Nan Hua even though he had never seen her fought against other women in a battle of words before.

It was a bit strange.

His eyes continued to follow Nan Hua as he noticed that Shangguan Die had somehow joined the fray.
