Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Jun Hua rubbed her forehead at the thought of her grandfather ditching the work again. It was actually very possible for the old man to sneak away, but she knew that her grandfather wouldn't do it if he didn't have anyone with him.

General Tou could barely hold himself back to not challenge this old man into fighting. He truly wished to beat this troublemaker and shameless old man to pulp, if it was possible.

He opened the door and the two people inside saw his dark expression. Jun Zhenxian grinned. "You shouldn't eavesdrop. It's bad for an old man like you to have such a habit."

"You're the one who have bad habits!" General Tou yelled. Why did he want to eavesdrop? If not because he heard about this old man complaining to Jun Hua, he would not hesitate to come in. Who would have thought that the old man wanted to say something so outrageous?

Jun Zhenxian smiled. "I don't have bad habits. This is just how I am."

'Grandpa has become even more shameless.' Jun Hua thought in her mind. Probably because the environment here was quite nice, this old man developed his best skill to the fullest. Of course, his best skill was him being shameless.

"There are a lot of works you have to do," General Tou held himself.

"The reward you prepare for me is not enough. I want more," Jun Zhenxian demanded.

Hearing that demand, General Tou face blackened. He has already sent over a lot of money to this old man and gave the other party men a territory within the Mountain Kingdom. Now he wanted more?

"Just ignore my grandpa's request," Jun Hua waved her hand. "He's just too tired from working."

"Who says that I'm tired? This old bone is still healthy!"

"…" if you're healthy, then you should be fine doing more works.

General Tou felt like he would just shorten his already limited lifespan if he continued to pester this old man about this matter. He strode forward and sat down on the chair near the two of them.

"Where did you and Kuina go this morning?"

The only matter that he would be concerned the most was about Kuina. Jun Hua lips curled up when she heard that question. "I just take a stroll to the mountain. You don't have to worry so much."

General Tou knew that Kuina would be safe with Jun Hua. However, he can't help feeling rather worried that something would happen to the girl. Even if she was already married with Jun Qing, she was still a little girl in his eyes.

"That girl can do well without you watching her," Jun Zhenxian added. "Even I let my own granddaughter roam all over the area without watching her. You worry too much."

'That's obviously because you can't watch her!' General Tou truly wished for nothing more than beating this old man. It was just the day before that that old man was worrying over the matter that his granddaughter left to meet with her former teacher. He kept on pacing here and there just because he felt worried.

"And who's the one who keep on bothering me to find his granddaughter just because he feels worry?"

"Who knows? Obviously not me."

Jun Hua quickly waved her hand to stop the conversation. If these two old men were to clash again, this room might not end unscathed. There were too many important papers in this room, so she didn't want to see them got destroyed just because of her grandfather antic.

"General Tou, I have compiled a special training for the more talented soldier," Jun Hua cut the conversation. "I want you to supervise them."

General Tou forced his raging feeling down and took the paper from Jun Hua. Inside the paper was a detailed training list for his soldier. His eyes stared at them blankly. Was it even possible to do them all? They were just too much.

"Are you sure you want them to train this hard? The number of soldiers guarding this kingdom would decrease as the result."

"Don't worry, I have my own men to cover for the time being," Jun Hua had dispatched the X Empire to sweep the kingdom. Besides, before the war reached this area, there was nothing she needed to worry about.

"What if the war reaches here?"

"I have prepared a gift for them, and I will personally deliver it to them."

Jun Zhenxian sat straight immediately. "Are you saying that you're going to go to the border again? You're just a 15 years old girl! Just stay here and let us the old bones do the work now."

"…" didn't you just say that you didn't worry about your granddaughter?

While General Tou felt the urge to challenge this old man, Jun Hua shook her head. "No, I won't be going anywhere for the time being. But if there's news about attack against Mountain Kingdom, I will go."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go to battlefield anymore?" Jun Zhenxian asked suspiciously.

Jun Hua scratched her head with an awkward smile. She did say that she wouldn't participated in the war anymore, but she didn't mention anything about her supervising them.

"I won't barge with a sword to the battle. I promise that," Jun Hua answered.

Jun Zhenxian looked towards Jun Hua suspiciously. "You should take care of your body better. You often over train yourself," he remarked.

"Don't worry. I'm not fighting that often anymore," Jun Hua answered reassuringly.

"But you still do."

"I need to."

If she could, it was not like she didn't want to stop fighting, but the war was not over yet. There would surely come the time when she needed to hold the sword again. She wished that time wouldn't come, so she could bury her second identity forever. However, she doubted that things would always go her way. There were many things that might happen in the future.

Jun Zhenxian looked towards his granddaughter. "I really wish you can just be like Kuina."

"I don't want another Kuina," General Tou interjected. If there was another princess like Kuina, he felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night due to worry.

"It's better if she's like Kuina. She could just abandon her work and play with me everyday. Isn't it fun?"

General Tou and Jun Hua: "…"

"it's time to work again, let's go General Jun," with that General Tou half dragged the old man to work again.

Jun Hua watched the two of them amusedly. Even at times like this, her grandfather kept on being shameless, or it might be because of times like this he tried to make the atmosphere lighter. Jun Hua shook her head to not think about it anymore. She needed to focus on her work before preparing for battle when there was one kingdom that came knocking on their door.
