Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Soujin returned back home. He looks towards his mother who is reading a book on the living room. There is a girl in front of his mother, but he didn't pay any attention to her. He knows that she is going to come to his residence soon because his mother already tells him, but he doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

Her intention of coming to him, it's clear to him, but his eyes only hold onto one person. From all the ladies he had met, only one person caught his eyes, so he doesn't want to look at the others. Just one is more than enough.

"Mother, I'm back."

Qin Shie eyes lift up, "Soujin, how's your journey? Is there anything important?"

Soujin smiles towards his mother, "Nothing mother, I will rest first and talk to you later."

Soujin strode away. The girl is calling his name, but he didn't even look at her once. He soon disappears from their view. He doesn't want to give the little girl false hope for he doesn't have any interest towards the girl at all.

"Aunty, why is he even ignoring me?" Tian Ni feels frustrated.

Qin Shie doesn't know how to answer, but she knows that her son won't look at Tian Ni because he doesn't want her to have any hope. His method is harsh, but it's to tell the truth towards this girl that he doesn't have any interest for her.

She feels a headache. When they are little, their family agrees to have the two marry each other because their age is similar. However, there are some problems during their early age, which makes the Tian Family move away from them. It's only later did they decide to let Tian Ni come again and since then continue to pursue Soujin, but their family had to move not long after that, making the two cannot meet at all.

Qin Shie had tried persuading Soujin to take Tian Ni as his wife, but Soujin never show any interest. No matter how she tried to persuade him, he wouldn't agree. Now, these two people were grown up and they meet again. One had the intention and the other didn't. It wouldn't be okay to keep delaying this.

Since Soujin wasn't willing to marry her, then she couldn't let Tian Ni keep waiting. As a twenty-year-old woman, she was considered old. But with Tian family abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to find her a good marriage partner in Kai Kingdom. But here, even she is not sure because of the Tian Family poor reputation here.

"He is telling you, he doesn't want you."

"But…," Tian Ni put an aggrieved face, "I have been waiting for so long and other people might now know, but didn't Aunty know the reason? It's all… because…."

Qin Shie obviously knows and she feels bad for the other party. Still, ever since Soujin little, he would never show any interest towards any girl. From what she remembers, it was only once did he show a little interest, but even then she is not sure what kind of interest did Soujin have for the little lady.

"I know," Qin Shie put a wry smile, "But you know Soujin's temperament. He would not accept people pushing things to him. He clearly knows what he wants and not. Tian Ni, it would be better if you forget about him and pursue a different people. If there is anyone you like, I'm sure your parents will do their best to help you."

Tian Ni knows that very clearly. Her parents would surely help her to get the man of her choice to their utmost. Her choice all this time was always Soujin. If not because of that, why would she still wait until now and didn't accept any of the others who extend their hands to her?

"Does Soujin already have someone he fancies?"

Qin Shie remembered the little lass again, but Soujin didn't say anything at that time. He merely brings her around to the point her brother is angry. She didn't understand Soujin intention and the other party also didn't say anything to her, so she cannot be sure.

If she says that Soujin want to take that girl to be his bride while in fact he's not, they might clash with Jun Family. Somehow, Qin Shie feels that the matter of choosing a bride have become a big problem in Soujin life.

"I don't know," Qin Shie sighed and looks towards the girl with a hardened gaze, "Tian Ni, please return. This is already night."

Looking at that gaze, Tian Ni knows that she doesn't have any choice. What should she do? Tian Ni keeps on thinking as she walks from the place. Soujin hadn't set his heart to anyone, so she believes that she still has a chance. She will not give up that easily, what are these pasts few years for?

While Tian Ni and Qin Shie are talking about him, the person in question stayed still within his room, playing with the paper on his hand. It was the result of the talk with Jun Hua in the carriage before.

"Lou, pass this paper to the Shadow Squad. They need to train themselves harder," Soujin instructed.

Lou appears and takes the paper respectfully. He didn't dare to peek into the content before disappearing into the distance.

Soujin tapped the table in front of him. He knows that his mother is worrying over his current condition of not being married yet, but he knows that the only person he set his eyes upon cannot stay idle yet. Jun Min had said that he is going to leave Ming Kingdom, which makes him rather troubled.

He thought that he only had a little interest towards the girl. But this one journey makes him realizes his heart didn't only value the girl that small.

"You will soon leave Ming Kingdom…" Soujin muttered. His expression didn't change, but his eyes turned even more determined.
