Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2317: Cowardly?



Rather than taking risk, he would rather pick the safe route and followed through this kind of path.

This is Nan Hou Xiang's decision.

Even if it was cowardly in the eyes of others, he didn't care.

*Fiuh*

Seeing that another official had come to him and asked him to leave, Nan Hou Xiang heaved a sigh secretly in his heart. He was worried that they would send another official who was harder to deal than Song Chuan to him.

At that time, Nan Hou Xiang didn't know what he should do to protect himself.

Continue lying?

He was sure that Song Chuan had noticed that he didn't complete say the truth. Only around 90% of it was the truth while the rest was purposely covered and even changed by Nan Hou Xiang.

Because he knew that he couldn't say the complete truth.

If he said that the teacher wanted to recruit him, they would definitely ask whether he was tempted or whether he agreed to the teacher. No matter how much Nan Hou Xiang said that he didn't agree, it was possible for his name to be tarnished.

Nan Hou Xiang didn't want that.

His name was already bad enough due to his father's reputation and many other things. If he added this, could he pass the examination and become a minister like his dream?

It would be impossible.

Nan Hou Xiang looked at the back once more before he left.

He didn't want to stay here any longer.

...

Song Chuan finished talking with Nan Hou Xiang and found Prime Minister Lan was waiting while holding a bamboo scroll. He should have finished with other matters that required his attention too.

"Have you finished?" Prime Minster Lan raised his head and saw Song Chuan coming.

"Yes." Song Chuan chuckled. "He's not a bad liar but he's still too innocent. I don't find any problems in his answer, though. What do you exactly want to find out?"

"Whether he would think of leaving Fei Yang Kingdom or not," Prime Minister Lan said lightly.

Nan Hou Xiang's life experience was clear for everyone who wanted to find out.

From the arrogant young master of the Nan Family to the cowardly and careful young man who didn't dare to speak nonsense. The changes were very big and if one had to say, they would not think that the two of them were the same person unless they saw him.

Because of his different life experience, Nan Hou Xiang used to have everything but lost it all. Would he want it all back?

Those who had everything but lose it would usually want it all back. How could they be willing to lose everything?

Nan Hou Xiang should be the same.

He was unreconciled with his current situation, but whether he would be willing to side with Fan Yi Kingdom in his path to rise up was another question.

And this was precisely what Prime Minister Lan wanted to find out.

"If he wants to side with Fan Yi Kingdom, he would not do it now but many years ago." Song Chuan shook his head.

The current Nan Hou Xiang had suffered a lot and endured bullying in the Capital Academy. While they didn't really support bullying, they didn't want to interfere too much with the affairs in the Capital Academy.

There were already many works piled up on their table and if they have to care about this Capital Academy too, they would end up falling sick due to overwork.

After the conversation with Nan Hou Xiang, Song Chuan could see that Nan Hou Xiang has gotten better on one side but also gotten worse on another side.

"He's too cowardly and didn't dare to make a mistake at all," Song Chuan replied.

Can a person not make a mistake at all?

Song Chuan didn't believe it.

Life is a process of making mistake and correcting them. Even if they tried their best not to make a mistake, it would be hard to truly achieve it.

No one dare to say that their lives are perfect.

But Nan Hou Xiang clearly didn't want to take any risk if it was possible and wanted to follow the path he had planned step by step.

That kind of approach was indeed very careful.

But it was also hard to get ahead.

However, Song Chuan knew that this was also Nan Hou Xiang's life and he had no right to interfere in it. Moreover, Song Chuan was not such a busybody either.

He would let Nan Hou Xiang do whatever he wanted.

"Cowardly?" Prime Minister Lan blinked his eyes.

Thinking about Old Master Nan, it seemed that the word fear had never been in that man's dictionary. No matter what Old Master Nan did, it seemed to have challenged many people's bottom limit.

However, Old Master Nan would turn a blind eye to it and even provoke many people.

How many people in the court wanted to beat up Old Master Nan?

Even Prime Minister Lan sometimes also wanted to beat up Old Master Nan if it was possible

and allowed.

"Yes." Song Chuan nodded. "You can talk with him personally and you will know what I

mean."

Some people would just think that Nan Hou Xiang was being careful.

But in Song Chuan's opinion, Nan Hou Xiang was too careful.

That kind of action would only cause more trouble in the future because he might be seen as a

pushover.

Then again, it was Nan Hou Xiang's decision.

Song Chuan would not care about him.

He only gave an advice so that Nan Hou Xiang would not have such a difficult life but whether Nan Hou Xiang could implement it or not was not his business. If Nan Hou Xiang didn't want

to follow his advice, then Song chuan would not care either.

"No need." Prime Minister Lan shook his head.

The main reason why he called Song Chuan here was to let this young man talk with Nan Hou

Xiang.
