Long Qian Xing was still carrying Long Xu Nian on his back with smile towards the sedan in front of their residence. There was nothing strange in his expression as he continued to walk with a lot of people gave congratulations outside.
"You sure have great tolerance," Long Xu Nian said coldly. She couldn't see his expression because of the red veil that covered her entire head. However, she could guess based on how these guests couldn't tell that there was something wrong with Long Qian Xing that he showed nothing.
To think that even this type of poison couldn't do anything to her younger brother…
Long Qian Xing was still smiling and thanking the person nearby. He walked to the sedan and when he was about to put Long Xu Nian down, he simply said, "Didn't you already teach me to endure at least this much?"
"You…"
"The bride had entered the sedan!"
Long Xu Nian couldn't make things difficult to Long Qian Xing any longer. She could only allow the attendants to close the sedan while she sat down inside. Thanks to her knowledge in medicine, she had been able to cure her own face. The mark was barely visible with the help of makeup.
Outside the sedan, Long Qian Xing was still smiling as he silently held his arm. Internally, he was cursing his older sister.
Just how much of the dose did she give this time?
His entire arm felt numb and if it was not because of his high martial arts, he would have long dropped Long Xu Nian in the middle. While it would not look too good on Long Xu Nian, the focus would be him.
How could a commander drop his older sister? Just how heavy his older sister was for him to drop her in such an important event?
But thankfully nothing happened.
"There's something wrong." Nan Luo noticed the beads of sweat on Long Qian Xing's forehead. He had sparred against Long Qian Xing a few times in the academy and naturally knew that Long Qian Xing possessed quite high martial arts. How could he possibly be tired with just carrying such a light woman like Long Xu Nian for a few breaths of time?
Nan Hua tapped the carriage window. "He's poisoned."
"Eh? Do you know what poison it is?"
Nan Hua turned to look at her twin brother as if asking him whether he was an idiot or not. They were only watching from a distance away and naturally it meant that they wouldn't be able to get a proper look. She was not a divine doctor who could guess what kind of ailment people had from such a long distance.
Her knowledge regarding medicine was not high enough for such matter.
Nan Luo scratched the back of his head. "In that case, do you know who's the one who poisoned him?"
"Oh." Nan Hua pointed her chin towards the sedan that was about to pass by their carriage. Her right hand silently took out a needle out. While she didn't have that many poisons under her sleeve because the number of herbs she had was limited, she still has a few.
And coincidentally, there was one that could counter Long Xu Nian's current medication.
Swish!
As the needle bypassed the cloth and scratched Long Xu Nian's forehead, the girl was stunned and nearly screamed out loudly. She looked around but didn't find anyone nearby.
The needles landed on the other path of the street as it came out from the other window.
"Are you serious?" Nan Luo was stunned. "They're full blood related siblings, right?"
He thought that those step brothers and sisters would harm each other because they have different mother. But now, he had only found out that there was actually full blood related siblings who would not hesitate to harm each other.
Hiss.
Human's heart was really hard to guess.
Nan Hua didn't reply. She merely wondered what Long Xu Nian would think if she found out that the wound on her forehead that was caused by the fox crack open again. However, she would need to find a method to retrieve the needle that was stuck on that wall….
"Yes."
Nan Luo sucked a cold breath. "Hua'er! Believe me that I'll never do that! I'll never ever ever ever harm you!"
He had to repeat the same word three times to stress the point. Internally, he was cursing Long Xu Nian a thousand times over. What should he do if Nan Hua ended up distrusting him because of Long Xu Nian and Long Qian Xing's relationship?
If that happened, he would try his best to kill that woman and made her turn into a meat paste just to quell the rage within his heart.
"I know." Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo. Seeing his expression, she felt that he was acting strange. She was not Long Xu Nian and Nan Luo was not Long Qian Xing, so of course their relationship with each other would be different.
"That's good." Nan Luo sighed in relief when he saw Nan Hua was not moved at all by Long Xu Nian's attitude. If she chose to distance herself just when he started to be able to get close to her and noticed the faint expression in her eyes…. He would really want to kill that woman.
"Let's go to the other side."
"Ah, you want to see your fiancé?" Nan Luo's face darkened when he thought of Nan Hua meeting Long Qian Xing.
Nan Hua wanted to shake her head but then she chose to nod. In any case, she just wanted to retrieve the needles. If people found out that there was a needle that was hanging on the wall, it would create suspicions. The excuse of seeing Long Qian Xing, who was her fiancé, should be alright, right?
Unbeknownst to her, Nan Luo's face only darkened when he saw Nan Hua nod. He started to think that his position in his sister's heart had dropped. How come she cared more about her fiancé than him?
"He's poisoned."
"Oh, right. Let's go and see him, then. Let's go down. It's faster than going in the carriage."
"Mhm."
Nan Luo was originally unwilling. But on the account that Long Qian Xing was currently poisoned, he would naturally not put it against him. In any case, the one at fault was that Long Xu Nian.
Why did she had to poison her own brother at such important event?
Hmph!
The next time he saw Long Xu Nian, he had to settle the score somehow.
The twins alighted down the carriage. Nan Hua walked straight to the front with Nan Luo holding her hand to make sure that she would not go far away. Looking at the needle that was located at quite high place, Nan Hua furrowed her brows.
It's too high.
If she jumped, she would attract other people's attention.
Nan Hua turned to look at Xiao Yun and beckoned for her to come closer.
"Miss?"
"Take that needle out."
Needle?
Xiao Yun looked at the small needle that was stuck on the wall not far from them. Her heart skipped a beat when she realized that she didn't even notice when Nan Hua made a move. Quickly, she plucked the needle covertly while the twins were already walking towards Long Family Residence.
As they came closer, they could hear the steward's urgent voice.
"Young Master, why didn't you tell us sooner? If this is left, you might have already turn into a cripple."
Nan Luo and Nan Hua looked inside and saw the steward was preparing a basin of water and added some herbs inside. There were no longer so many people here since they were following the sedan. As the result, there wouldn't be anyone who paid attention to Long Qian Xing.
"I can't possibly make a fuss just because of this small matter." Long Qian Xing laughed faintly.
The steward couldn't say anything towards this stubborn young master and sighed. He only added a few more herbs as he looked at Long Qian Xing's hand. The place where Long Xu Nian stabbed him just now had swollen slightly. Not to mention, there was more than one place.
"Young Master Long, First Young Master Nan and First Young Miss Nan is here."
"First Young Miss Nan?" Long Qian Xing's attention was on the second address. If he was not wrong, First Young Miss Nan was his fiancée, right? Did she also come to look at his sister's wedding?
"I'll be there."
"Uhm, Young Master Nan said that they'll come inside and that there's no need for Young Master Long to welcome them." The servant was hesitant because he could guess that Long Qian Xing had to work hard to purge the poison from his body.
Long Qian Xing narrowed his eyes. "Do they really say that?"
Since when Nan Luo was this sharp?
"Yes, Young Master."
