FLOWERS BLOOM FROM BATTLEFIELD

Chapter 154: Enjoying the Festival



154 Enjoying the Festival

"It's your turn," Soujin said as he gives way to the other party. Even without looking, it's clear that Lan Ping face must be dark and he won't have the courage to move forwards. Being compared like that in public, it would be better to back down and not compete in case he makes a fun of himself.

Lan Ping forced a smile amidst his anger, "This one general is not feeling that well, thus unable to perform my best."

"Oh? Why don't you say that before we make the bet?" Soujin arched his eyebrows.

From the way Soujin behaves, Lan Ping knows that he won't do any good by delaying the matter anymore. He just doesn't want to admit his defeat in front of the crowd of people around him. His pride just won't allow him to do that.

"I was careless," Lan Ping gives an excuse.

"Does it mean you're going to back down on your word?" Soujin's eyes flashed with maliciousness. Granted, the moment Lan Ping refuses, he will resort to things the other party won't be able to imagine even in his darkest imagination.

Lan Ping feels the chill from the other party gaze. As a fellow martial artist, he knows that he's not a match against Soujin. This makes him rather frustrated because when he thinks he has the chance, the other party cut all of them without any hope.

"I will send the store papers to you tomorrow," he forced himself to say it.

"Then I will be waiting," Soujin said before pointing his chin towards Jun Hua, "And you're not allowed to bother us anymore."

The statement from Soujin makes him rather stunned. He eyed Jun Hua again but chooses to withdraw in the end. He doesn't want to make an enemy of Nanglong family as it will make things even more complicated. In addition, he still has his cousin, Lan Gao Ya that he wants.

"I understand," Lan Ping nodded his head in meek manner before turning his back away from them.

Jun Hua watches as the other party disappear into the distance with wonder. If the one who duels against Lan Ping is her, can she beat the other party in archery? She is really proficient in it, but regarding power, she is obviously not his match.

"You sure like to invite trouble," Soujin looks towards the girl behind him. The girl eyes are still calmly looking back, not in the slightest bit afraid of the spectacle previously. Even though she sees everything in front of her, she doesn't have any fear. He feels rather astonished and marvels just how the Jun Family raises this little girl.

"Thank you for your help, Prince Soujin."

Truthfully, Jun Hua is itching to give Lan Ping a good beating, but if she makes her move here, she will make other people suspicious. Soujin appearance comes at the right time because he chases that annoying person go. Although she wonders why he helps her, probably it's due to him being Jun Min's best friend.

Soujin nodded and looked towards the back.

"You don't need to hide, Yan. I know that you're there."

From behind the tree, Yan walked reluctantly. He is sure that Soujin won't be able to find him if he hides behind the tree to look at the spectacle. Really, he had forgotten just how sharp his best friend sense is.

"When did you find out?" Yan asks.

"From the moment you hide."

Jun Hua looks towards Yan with her big and round eyes. She too knows that he's hiding near them, but didn't say anything because 'Jun Hua' is not supposed to be able to do much of the martial art.

"…Why don't you say anything earlier?"

"Why should I?" Soujin smiled deviously, "You don't need to hide. I won't give you any show. Rather, I will invite you for training."

Yan face ashen, he had been beaten up black and blue because of the incident in Ming Hui residence. Now, out of nowhere, he's going to get beaten up again? He feels that the heavens are really unfair…

"I never know a prince loves to peep on other people," Jun Hua said in her calm tone, her eyes questioning. Maybe she needs to give another lesson for him.

"I didn't do that," Yan said with sweat pouring out.

Soujin rolled his eyes. "Leave us alone."

"Of course," with that, Yan bolted out from their sight. If Soujin were to change his decision and beat him up because he's too late, he won't know who he can complain to.

Jun Hua wants to laugh seeing Yan's act of running away. He was never beaten up too badly by them, but still, it will be hurt. Looking at the way he's running away, she would have thought that there is a horde of beasts chasing after him.

"You should be careful, men are beast," Soujin remarked.

"What about you? You're also a man, right?"

"I am, but I won't hurt you," Soujin said calmly. Jun Hua looks towards the man eyes. Why is he treating her differentially? She never saw him getting close with girls before, is it because she is Jun Min sister?

Jun Hua looks away. She stares at the surrounding with glistening eyes. Because of Lan Gao Ya appearance, she hadn't got the time to enjoy the festival atmosphere. Looking at the numerous things she never saw before, she feels excited.

She peered towards one of the stall and let her eyes wander around in delight. It was really a beautiful view, different from what she had seen in any other activities before.

"What is that?"

"That is…" Soujin become her guide as he tells her about the things inside the festival. Jun Hua big and round eyes looks at each of them excitedly. This is all new for her and she wants to enjoy them to the fullest.

Soujin stared at the girl. She is really amusing because she is just like a child at this time. Well, in his eyes she is indeed a child. She can be well mannered in dealing with things and stay on the back meekly, but at this time she is like a little kitten getting a new toy.

"I never know that there are so many things inside a festival," Jun Hua commented.

"You will know if you stay in the capital for a longer time," Soujin said as he only knows a little bit of them because he didn't come previously. The knowledge he had came from him telling Lou to search about all the things regarding the festival.

On the shadow Lou feels relieved. If Jun Hua is still not impressed by the research he had done for his master, he's sure that he will be subjected into a harsher training later on.

"True enough, but I don't think I will," Jun Hua stares back at the man.

Soujin didn't answer and pointed to the crowd of people as he tells her about the usual tradition in this place. Jun Hua is listening to his explanation tentatively, clearly excited about the entire thing. After the explanation, they walk across the street to see the other places.

Soujin looks at the girl as she bent down a little bit to see the stall. He truly wants to take the veil off to see her real face, but he didn't do it and beckoned her to continue walking. As they walk, Jun Hua takes out the shuttlecock Yamin had procured. She played the shuttlecock on her hands for a moment as her eyes looked around.

"What are you looking for?"

"Uhm…" Jun Hua didn't answer right away as she notices a few kids playing near them. She smiled slightly and walks towards one of the kids and gives it to him.

"A present for you," she said with smile.

"Thank you big sister!" the kids ran to his friends happily and showed the shuttlecock. Before long, they started playing it.

Jun Hua looks towards them for a moment before walking again. Soujin is waiting for her with smile on his face and the two of them continue walking.
