Chapter 111: Nicknames
111 Nicknames
Lan Ping and Lan Pan meet with the two general on the wall before they returned. The gaze from Lan Ping is still unfriendly, but he gives them a smile on their meeting.
"Congratulation on protecting the border perfectly," Lan Ping said with sarcasm.
Soujin nodded. "Thank you for helping."
Jun Min didn't want to add any oil to the fire. Their relationships are bad enough without that and he still need to stay on the capital for some times, so it would be better if his enemies didn't increase for now.
From the side, Lan Pan is still smiling, but his eyes are the eyes of a beast. Jun Min doesn't feel comfortable, but he didn't say anything and glanced back. Even if that Lan Pan wished to attack him, he's not afraid of him.
Soujin also didn't like the eyes from Lan Pan. He knows from the battle before that the other party is highly dangerous and he would not differentiate between friends and foes. A person like this is truly a trouble and Soujin wouldn't want to meet with him anymore if it's possible.
"We will return first, thank you General Lan Ping," Jun Min said politely.
Lan Ping eyed Jun Min. He wants to say something, but held back in the end. He indicated to Lan Pan for moving back, but Lan Pan seems unwilling.
"Brother Pan, let's go."
Lan Pan looks back and his smiled turned deeper. He wants to fight with either one of them or even the two of them. They are powerful.
'There will come the times when we clash.'
Jun Min looks back without any fear. He knows that with his family is planning to move away from the Ming Kingdom, so there will come the times when Lan Pan becomes his enemy. Despite they have been rooted into the Ming Kingdom for years, even his grandfather doesn't want to live there if they can. Because of that, he will use the chances given by Mountain Kingdom well.
Now thinking about it, what about Soujin? He's also a person from Ming Kingdom. Suddenly, Jun Min feels reluctant to leave because it would mean becoming enemies with Soujin. He looks at Soujin face, if the times come, will he still look at him with concern?
Soujin stared at Jun Min. "What is it? Is there anything wrong?"
"No, nothing," Jun Min said. "You just need to treat your wounds."
"This is nothing, I have treated part of it and the rest is not really serious."
"You still need to treat it."
While bantering, Jun Min manages to force Soujin to get treated before they rested for the night and departed back to the capital by the next day. Unbeknownst to them, the news of the battle has spread around in the capital and the name of Soujin and Jun Min are now attached with their unique nicknames. Many people on the streets are talking about them happily.
…
Ming Kingdom Capital, the Jun Family's residence
"Old friends, it seems that the younger generations are getting even more powerful as the day passes. The battle has finally over with the losses on Kai and Pan Kingdoms are so big they wouldn't be able to recover fully! Thanks to our grandsons!"
"What are you happy about? Your grandson will still lose to mine!"
"It's impossible! Soujin is not going to lose, not even to Jun Min. But, their nicknames are really great!"
Upon remembering the nicknames for the two of them, Jun Zhenxian gives a wry smile. He can accept Soujin getting the nickname of 'Undefeated General' because of his great achievement, but why is Jun Min getting the nickname of 'blood flower' or 'flower of the battlefield'? Those names are really girly…
Despite the fact that Jun Min is Jun Hua, just from that name alone has makes Jun Zhenxian feels like he won't be able to keep the secret any longer. Fortunately, that name come from the beauty of his move and the other party handsome face. If it comes from the fact that they found out that he's a girl, Jun Zhenxian would rise up his hand in defeat and declare the war as fast as possible.
Deceiving the emperor is a huge crime with their ending wouldn't be good. Given that the emperor had wanted to destroy the Jun family for some time, even he cannot say that the emperor would help them. Because of that, he's sure that the emperor would surely put them on a tough spot. Jun Hua's fate will be the worse since she's the one who pose the most threat amongst them.
"I wish to beat up the one who gives those nicknames," Jun Zhenxian said with rage.
Nanglong Souka laughed. "You won't be able to find it. There are a lot of people who are there on the battle. I bet they have the same thought thus this nickname is born."
"What do you know hah? You old dog," Jun Zhenxian cannot help but berating his friend again. Even when they are only at Jun family territory, Jun Qing had once said that Jun Hua on the battlefield is similar with flower: Beautiful on the outside, but deadly on the inside. With that kind of appearance, he could dupe people into thinking that he's just an ordinary kid.
"You don't believe me?"
These two old men are shouting at each other. The servants on the side continue to burrow their head deeper as if they didn't hear anything from these two. Being a servant is hard, they need to maintain the same expression whatever happened and they need to pretend that nothing happened. Just look down and stared at the floor.
