Chapter 270: Explanation
270 Explanation
Hearing that question, Jun Hua was dumbfounded. How could Ming Hui found out about that NOW? She was sure that she didn't give him any impression that she was Jun Min at all. She was still acting like usual without anything wrong.
Staring back at him, Jun Hua tilted her head. "Why are you asking that?"
"Your hand, you have the same wound as Jun Min."
Jun Hua raised her left arm. Right, the wound from fighting with the assassins around a year ago was still there. Although she had been using the medicine to make the mark disappeared, there were still some traces left there. It seemed she was really careless to let Ming Hui saw it.
The one who had seen this wound on Jun Min before only limited to a handful of people. But, Ming Hui was certainly among them. This blunder was something that Jun Hua couldn't cover up. What should she say? She couldn't possibly say that as a lady she was clumsy thus made the wound on her hand.
Maybe it was already the time to tell the truth to Ming Hui. Raising her head she nodded slowly, admitting to the claim he made.
"It's true. I'm Jun Min."
Ming Hui mouth opened wide. Although he was already 90% sure when he saw the wound mark and comparing them, hearing it first-hand from Jun Hua was truly shocking. He couldn't cover up how much he was surprised upon hearing that fact from Jun Hua.
After this, Ming Hui was sure that he wouldn't be able to get a good sleep tonight. The news that Jun Hua told him exceeded all the news he had heard before now. After all, he was one of the few people who had seen Jun Min fought and know how powerful the little boy-no girl was.
Seeing her fighting with Soujin, he often felt that the bo-girl is really amazing. She could contend and fought on equal ground with Soujin, despite losing in the end. All along, he thought that the two of them were two different people. Never had he thought that they would turn out to be one person, the little girl whom everyone mocked, Jun Hua.
"Unbelievable," Ming Hui hold his head. "How… did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Live as two different people. I mean, you appear together more than once."
"It's one of my bodyguards," Jun Hua answered calmly. "I have one that has a similar build with me thus I have her exchange place with me sometimes."
That was highly logical. Being with Soujin, he knew that the other party has a lot of bodyguards around him. Most of them never appear in front of the world, but he knew that they were there watching from the darkness.
"I guess people from the Jun family are highly astounding."
The Jun family was always a threat to the emperor even for a long time ago because of their ability. To suppress the family, he had to pay a lot and sacrificed more than one of his trusted attendants. That was with leaving three of them alive.
Ming Hui smiled wryly. If the emperor were to know that one of the three people he left from Jun family was actually scheming so deeply against him, he would surely vomit blood and fully regretted his decision to not finish the three of them off.
"So, I guess the person from Mountain Kingdom who came here to assassinate the imperial family member is you."
Ming Hui finally remembered his task to come here in the first place. He looked towards Jun Hua for confirmation and the other party nodded.
"I have to admit that meeting Soujin is truly surprising, but he doesn't manage to find out that it's me. With the Kai Kingdom being held by the first prince, they would surely launch another attack towards Ming Kingdom and Mountain Kingdom."
Hearing the girl returned to her way of speaking as Jun Min, he finally fully convinced that the girl was indeed Jun Min. Really, since when there was a girl as strong as this one?
"You're far more ruthless when you're handling the people from Kai Kingdom compared to the one in Ming Kingdom."
She let Lin Hong and Lin San alive while Chun Maora… was punished heavily, the same as Lin Tang as his fate after getting thrown out from the residence was truly tragic. Hearing the news from Soujin nearly made him vomited and he didn't want to remember it again. As for Lan Ping, he was handled even more tragically by Lan Gao Ya.
On second thought, it didn't seem like Jun Hua showed them any mercy.
"Lin Hong and Lin San are still young, they are only around my age and they change after some time," Jun Hua said. Hearing that tone, Ming Hui was sure that their fate would be even more tragic if they still came after Jun Hua for revenge.
"As for these princes… do you even know how they handled the kids' slave and the massacre they did years ago?"
Jun Hua still remembered fully that day. She never liked the Kai Kingdom because in one of the war against them, they used the village near the border and massacred all of the people inside as a warning that they would do the same to her soldiers. That was the first time she fought a bloodied battle, and that was also the battle that let her name as Jun Min resounded loudly.
Ming Hui didn't know, but hearing from Jun Hua, he knew that it must be really hard for her to accept.
"Do you have any other reason for making your way to Kai Kingdom?"
Jun Hua paused for a moment. Should she tell him?
"Yes."
