Chapter 922: Scouting
“You’re so cautious, huh?”
Yu Jin could sense Nan Hua’s body language and didn’t try to get close. She knew that if she dared to get too close, the young woman wouldn’t be able to rest well.
Sighing lightly, she leaned on the cave wall and looked at the sky. There were a lot of stars tonight but no moon. It was really dark, yet she didn’t seem to be worried in the slightest bit.
For her, it was common to be dark in the mountain.
If they were on the side where it covered the moon even when the moon appeared, it would always be very dark. But she liked the mountain so much that she didn’t want to leave.
“Jun Hua,” Yu Jin muttered lightly.
It was the first time she heard that name.
But for some reason, she was reminded of the Jun Family and the fact that they were a family that was riddled in various stories. That family always experienced up and downs depending on whether there was a person who was worthy to lead the family was born or not.
When they first settled in, they were all very rich and powerful.
But as time passed, the descendants were not powerful enough to control so many properties. They began to split and eventually deteriorate.
Then someone began to gather them all and brought the family to be famous around a century or two ago. At that time, the Jun Family was truly on its peak as there were no one who would dare to offend them in the slightest bit.
But when the leader passed away, the family was split again.
Now, there hasn’t been anyone who bring the family into its former glory anymore.
‘Jun…’
From the moment Yu Jin heard the surname, the first thing that come to her mind was the Jun Family. It couldn’t be helped that she thought that way because there were really Jun Family who was living not far from the Xia Mountains.
However, they were just part of the branches.
Would it be possible for someone like Jun Hua to appear out of that small family?
Considering her new younger sister’s etiquette, technique, young age, and everything, the chance was actually terribly low.
‘Well, I’ll know when it’s the time. Damn, I should have ordered more people to gather information if I know that time like this will come. The night rat is also annexed by Dark Moon Organization.’
Yu Jin turned to look at the young woman and smiled faintly. She had the feeling that the time of glory for the Mountain Tribe would arrive soon enough too.
…
When morning came, Nan Hua felt refreshed.
She noticed that Yu Jin was still sitting on the same place with eyes closed. Her sleeping posture was not that strange for Nan Hua as she had slept with the exact same posture many times in the past too.
It was a posture for those who were guarding.
“You’re awake?” Yu Jin opened her eyes and turned to look at Nan Hua. It was only now that Nan Hua realized that there was a hue of red on the bottom of Yu Jin’s pupil. Back then, she didn’t realize it at all.
“Mhm. Your men are approaching too.”
“There are more than enough men on standby. Besides, our plan today is to strike into Zhang Xu Kingdom’s territory.” Yu Jin stretched her hand and looked into the distance. “We’ll only reach the border with the soldiers when it’s evening. They’re much slower compared to when it’s only the two of us. In the meantime, it’s time to scout their closest city to here.”
The closest city?
Nan Hua recalled the map that Old Master Nan showed to her and asked her to memorize back then. Making a map was not easy because they couldn’t always go to the specific location and observe from above.
That was why, the map was only reference to know the terrains and the location of the city.
“Kang City.”
“Yes.” Yu Jin grinned. “You have good knowledge over the territory in Zhang Xu Kingdom. Did you perhaps come from Zhang Xu Kingdom? Oh wait, no, you’re siding with Fei Yang, so it’s unlikely for you to be part of Zhang Xu Kingdom.”
The enmity between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom was clear to the eyes. It was really hard to imagine that someone who was born in Zhang XU Kingdom would go as far as siding with Fei Yang Kingdom.
Well, it was not impossible.
But Yu Jin didn’t think that her younger sister was someone who would want to side with another side just in order to spite Zhang Xu Kingdom. Fei Yang Kingdom must have something that made her want to side with them.
“Let’s go first.”
“Ok.”
Eating simple breakfast of wild fruits, the two of them then departed to the border between Xia Mountain and Zhang Xu Kingdom. Yu Jin also showed the shortcut for Nan Hua that was a bit hard to pass for ordinary people but it was nothing for people like them.
“This route will make it easier for us to reach the border.” Yu Jin hopped to the large rock in front of her. She grinned. “From here, I can see Zhang Xu Kingdom very clearly.”
As Nan Hua stepped onto the rock, she realized that this was truly a good place to take a look at the surroundings. It was covered by the tree and the tall cliff would make it hard for people from Zhang Xu Kingdom to approach them.
Not that climbing here was that easy either.
Nan Hua blinked.
There was a similar place like this that allowed her to look at Fei Yang Kingdom. Nan Hua herself liked to stay there because she could see everything and watched from a distance without getting involved in the slightest bit.
“I like to stay here whenever these b*stard cause trouble. Look, that’s Kang City and also the closest city. If we charge there, I’ll take half an incense stick of time at most even with the army if we ran.”
