Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Looking at her choking brother, Ming Hui snorted. "Don't worry. He has long known that I'm a man."

Jun Hua knows that, but that brother of yours cannot handle you saying such things when you're still dressed as woman. By her side, Soujin shakes his head as he donned his wine, completely ignoring Yan who's still in coughing fit.

From a long time ago, Jun Hua had noticed that Ming Hui is a man because of his behavior. Since she wants to pass off as a man, she always pays close attention towards how man usually behaves. Although Ming Hui always act as a girl, she is a man so his built is different with a normal woman and that's how Jun Hua noticed it.

At first, she's worried that Ming Hui would notice her real gender, but until now, it seems that Ming Hui still doesn't know about it. Jun Hua feels that Ming Hui might be excellent in acting as a girl, but he still cannot notice that she's a girl, probably due to her martial arts is far higher than him.

"When did you find out?" Yan asked. He knows from Ming Hui that Jun Hua found out on her first day meeting Ming Hui, but he wants confirmation.

"When we are playing chess," Jun Hua answered.

Yan feels completely defeated. Looking at the depressed Yan, Jun Hua thinks about what she said. Had she said something wrong?

Ming Hui snorted. "Don't mind him. He's just depressed because he hadn't noticed it until he found out by chance."

That guy is truly pitiful. He's your own brother, alright?

"What about Soujin?"

"He found out from the first glance. Only the Heaven knows how to trick this guy eye. His eyes can see things like mirror," Ming Hui said.

Now Jun Hua truly wants to know whether this guy had realized that she's a girl or not. If his ability in his eye is truly like what Ming Hui acclaimed, he should have known that she's a girl. But from the way he's behaving, he doesn't looks like he had found out about it.

"Do your other brothers know?"

"No, I hardly ever interacted with them," Ming Hui answered. "They don't need to know about it. All they need to know are they have one younger sister and not another brother to compete for the throne."

Jun Hua nodded and didn't ask any further. They turned their attention back to the still depressed Yan and teased him. At first, it's just some casual remark, but with Soujin joining the fray, Yan is totally defeated.

After bantering for close to an hour, they left the restaurant one by one, starting from Jun Hua. They purposely didn't leave together in order to avoid suspicion.

"Do you think it's the right choice to trust him?" Yan asked.

Ming Hui shrugged, "Why not? There is hardly any man who dares to rise up against that big guy, if we don't cooperate, it will take us longer. Besides, do you think there are any other people as talented as him?"

Yan thinks about Ming Hui words and he soon found that what the other party said is true. Jun Min has everything they needed, talent, power, ability, and motivation. Even if they want to search the whole land, they might not necessarily found anyone as suitable as him.

"He's fun as a friend too," Yan said.

Soujin stared at the door. He chooses the boy because of what he sees in him. They have been planning for so long, it's time for some action.

"He's dependable," Soujin remarked.

Ming Hui smiled. "You're correct."

…

"Grandpa, I thought I have told you that I will be back late," Jun Hua is surprised to see her grandfather still awake. Since she told Xia to tell him that she will be back late, she thought that he would go to sleep early as usual.

"Hua'er, your uncle sent you a message," Jun Zhenxian took a deep breath. "You will be going to the front line again."

Jun Hua raised her eyebrows as her mouth formed a smile. She had been waiting for this news, now it's time to make some ruckus on the battlefield and leave this 'peaceful' capital. She had finished all of her scheme and enacts her revenge towards Chun Maora.

As for Lin Tang, his reputation already decreasing rapidly and she doesn't need to do anything to make it worse. The killing blow can wait for later time in the future since there is something more important for her to do right now.

"You lass! Why are you smiling when you're being sent into the battlefield? Don't you like staying with your grandpa here?"

Jun Hua mouth twitched. Her grandfather mouth is as bad as usual. It seems the training Madam Mu given him hadn't changed his habit at all.

"Grandpa doesn't need to worry. Hua'er will soon return to the capital after the business there is finished."

Jun Zhenxian smiled at his granddaughter. "Before you go, please give your grandpa….."

The figure in front of him had disappeared, leaving only the sound of door closing. Jun Zhenxian shakes his head lightly and looks towards the paper. He knows, the time has finally come.

…

Nanglong Souka truly wished to beat up his grandson who's ignoring him at the sight of a message from the frontline. Nanglong Soujin mother, Qin Shie, looks at her son worriedly.

"Soujin, is that a call to the front line?"

Soujin nodded his head. This message had come even more earlier than what he had expected. It seems today meeting is truly crucial.

"Mom, I will be going to the battlefield. You have to take care of yourself."

"You too," Qin Shie said reluctantly. She doesn't want to part with her son.

"What about your grandfather? Don't tell me you will only say that to your mother?" Nanglong Souka chided.

Soujin ignored him and proceed to have some rest.

"You little rascal!"

…

Yan looks towards the message in his hand.

"Shu, they have finally moved? It's really quick."

"Yes Young Master."

Yan looks towards the paper with interest. It seems like he finally found out about the news the other three talking about before. It's time for him to move too.

"Start with the preparation."

"Yes!"

…

Ming Hui looks towards the message he received and a smile formed in his lips. With this news they will all start moving and their plan will roll.

"It means, we will be busy again. The future is going to be interesting."
