Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

"You want to unify the entire five kingdoms under one banner?" Ming Hui was stunned when he heard the word from Jun Hua. Looking at that determined gaze of the girl, he knew that she was serious, but that kind of work would not be done that easily.

However, he too remembered a certain idiot who told him his dream when he was younger, an idiot who climbed to become a general and famous on the frontline. Soujin once told him that after getting his revenge he would unify the five kingdoms.

"You want to be an empress?"

Jun Hua looked at him weirdly. "Why would I want to? I will just leave the task for my uncle."

Ming Hui almost laughed upon hearing Jun Hua's answer because he remembered similar words being said by a different person years ago.

The two of them were truly similar, maybe it was the reason the two of them were drawn together and long for each other. Then he remembered the condition of Soujin after returning from the Tian residence and his stubbornness to only wait for one person.

"If it's like that, I have something I want to propose," Ming Hui said.

"Please speak."

After talking for about an hour, Jun Hua nodded her head. "It feels like the past again."

When the four of them gathered together in the Restaurant Han Yan and talked about the plan to finish the fight while at the same time spreading the doubt towards them. The plan to make them fight even more efficient and made their name resound loudly.

Ming Hui had to admit, after not interacting with Jun Min, he felt a little lost. He liked to talk with the little bo-uhm girl a lot. She was really fun and knowledgeable. More importantly, she was really easy to talk to and smart.

"I will tell this to Soujin when we return."

Upon hearing the name Soujin, Jun Hua face changed a bit. She remembered again that scene that she saw before and somehow, she felt a bit uneasy. She didn't want to meet him while she was still feeling like this.

Ming Hui caught the change in Jun Hua emotion and his heart fell down. Could it be she see the situation when Soujin was under the effect of the medicine? This was really bad! He needed to quickly explain the situation to her.

"You get it wrong. Soujin didn't have interest towards other girls than you. He's here to reject the marriage that the emperor set for him."

"Why are you thinking that I have seen him before?" Jun Hua tried to evade the question.

"…" your expression was obvious.

Ming Hui wanted to say that to her, but it felt like he wouldn't get anything from trying to explain the real situation to the girl before him. He could only sigh and stared at her again.

"Tian Ni tries to take advantage of him. Soujin ends up destroying the whole residence and claimed that he doesn't have any interest in her."

Jun Hua hearts leaped upon hearing Ming Hui explanation. If that was true, could it be that everything was Tian Ni's scheme. Did she just do the same thing as Lan Gao Ya did to her? Women were sure hard to understand.

(A/N: You're a woman)

When Jun Hua thought about the situation again, she only saw them together for a moment because she couldn't bear to watch any longer. She thought that Soujin was interested with Tian Ni, so he stayed with her in that room, but from Ming Hui tone it seemed the end result of that exchange was… the destruction of a building.

Because of her high martial arts, she knew that Ming Hui was not lying. Still, she felt that she needed to talk to Soujin about it… only if she did that she would expose her true identity to them.

"You're not lying?"

"I'm not! When he returned, he had to take a bath to erase the effect of the medicine!" Ming Hui felt that the other party truly has a hard time to believe this and it's harder to convince her.

"Taking a bath?" Jun Hua was confused. How could take a bath erase the effect of the medicine?

Ming Hui gave up. He patiently explained to her part of what the medicine it was and how it worked. By the end of his explanation, Jun Hua had her face turned red.

Ming Hui despaired. Don't tell me that she really didn't know all of this? What on earth did she learn from the female on the battlefield before this?

It was not like Jun Hua didn't know anything, but she didn't know as much as Ming Hui told her this time. Her uncle only gave her vague description, and what she knew was that the medicine made man more lustful.

"Don't think too much about it. I have medicine to counter the effect, though it only worked for people who have high martial arts," Ming Hui explain again calmly.

Jun Hua nodded. "Thank you for the explanation."

Ming Hui knew that the other party was still feeling a little doubtful. He couldn't really say anything in that regards since it would indeed be more believable if the one talking was Soujin instead. But in that case, Soujin would need to know that Jun Hua was Jun Min first, something he was sure the other party didn't want to happen.

"Are you still waiting for him?" Ming Hui asked.

Jun Hua stared at the other party and smiled wryly. "A foolish woman I am. Until the day of his marriage, I will wait for him."

'You're not foolish.' The two of them wait for each other in order to let the condition possible for them to be together.

"What are you going to do now?"

"I will return to Mountain Kingdom and prepare for war first."

"You better have a lot of rest. Woman body is more fragile, and you need to rest more after practice."

"I know. You don't have to worry about me," Jun Hua said calmly. It seemed that even when they stayed in different kingdoms they were still friends.

"And, don't tell Soujin and Yan about me."

"Why?"

Jun Hua smiled without mirth. "I can't let them know yet."

Ming Hui didn't know the reason, but the smile on Jun Hua seemed forced. She had her own reason and he respected her for it. He wouldn't do thing ahead than what she wanted to since he only found out from coincidences.

"I won't."

"Thank you."

With that, Jun Hua disappeared from his sight.
