Is it possible to delegate a subdomain to different nameservers?

I have a requirement to add NS records for a subdomain, the subdomain is for our blog (blog.mysite.com) using a wordpress.com business plan and they require the NS records for these subdomains to point to their nameservers…

Only need to add three NS records for the subdomain, which should look like this:

site.mygroovydomain.com. IN NS ns1.wordpress.com.
site.mygroovydomain.com. IN NS ns2.wordpress.com.
site.mygroovydomain.com. IN NS ns3.wordpress.com.

(source)

I have tried adding these as NS records but it did not work. Is it even possible to do this with Cloudflare? I opened a support ticket with CF and only got:

“You would have to have the nameservers pointed at Cloudflare to use our free service.”

Is this the case for subdomains? Seems what I’m trying to do is closely related to this post.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
