Chapter 56: Hunt Event 2
56 Hunt Event 2
Jun Hua guided Lin Kang towards the place where Soujin and Yan have waited. They look towards the small boy behind Lin Kang who seems he could break any moments.
"This is?"
"Lin Kang, my sister second brother," Jun Hua answered. "On this first day of the hunt, I will accompany him hunting."
Soujin looks towards the two of them. "Be careful."
"Of course."
Yan looks disappointed. "Let's hunt together tomorrow."
"Alright."
After making promises, they separate themselves. Jun Hua looks towards Lin Kang.
"Your brother will probably try to kill you today."
"Ah? You're going to protect me?"
Jun Hua smiled. "My sister has made the promise, right?"
Lin Kang eyed Jun Hua suspiciously. There shouldn't be any way for Jun Hua and Jun Min to meet since Jun Min didn't visit his sister in the academy. Maybe they have other method for communicating?
Jun Hua smiled. "You're going to be alright."
Hearing those words from someone whose built is not much different would usually make the other party scorn the one who says. But since the once who said it is Jun Min, Lin Kan fully believes the other party. If there is someone stronger than him, there are only a few people and most of them are veteran general.
Jun Hua was about to talk more when she heard the eunuch announcement.
"Young Noble Han representative have come."
Jun Hua raised her head and she sees a young man dressed normally have come. His face is handsome and he had a tall body. The way he walks is slow but normal.
Seeing that man, Jun Hua eyes twitched and she hurriedly looks away. When the other person is busy fawning over that man, Jun Hua chooses to mount his horse and readied herself. Lin Kang stared at her in confusion. Even his father tried to get close with that person, why Jun Min didn't do the same?
Jun Hua looks back and sighed. "There are things you don't need to know."
As Jun Hua said that, she indicates to Yasha to help Lin Kang mount the horse with Yasha. They're allowed to bring their servants inside, but only one servant at most so Jun Hua chooses to bring Yasha. Yasha is one of her guards with high skill. His usual task is to protect the border with her uncle, but this time she called him back.
Soujin and Yan look at the situation calmly. Among the nobles who come there, only a few people don't have any intention of getting close with that Young Noble Han representative.
Yan looks towards Jun Hua. "It seems he knows about it."
"Yes, he did."
"Anyway, Soujin do you want to have a bet? Who among us can hunt the most?" Yan challenged.
"No need."
"Why? You're willing to have a bet with Jun Min before."
"Because I already know the result."
"What is the result?" Yan has a bad feeling.
"You lose."
Yan looks towards his friend helplessly. I know you're capable, but do you need to always brag shamelessly? Even before they start, Yan already feels defeated.
The commotion of the representative coming soon died down because the emperor has come. The emperor looks at the representative before nodding his head.
"Does Young Noble Han cannot come?"
The representative smiled. "He's busy."
Inside the mind of the few people who know the real identity of Young Noble Han. 'That's a lie! He's standing here with us!'
The emperor nodded. "Do you mind hunting with me?"
The representative smiled. "It will be my honor."
"What should I call you?"
"Just call me Representative Han."
From far away, Jun Hua wants to kick that emperor for not realizing who the person standing before him is. She didn't say anything, though, as she waits for the emperor signal to start the hunt. She had never hunted before, but it shouldn't be hard for her.
"Can you mount horse by yourself?" Jun Hua preferred to have Yasha hides in the dark but there's no way she would let Lin Kang rode by himself if he can't
As expected, Lin Kang shakes his head.
"Don't stay far away from me."
Jun Hua led Lin Kang to the forest and as she rode the horse, she could faintly detect the people who come inside. There are only a few people near them and Jun Hua ignored them as she focused on one person, Lin Hong.
She approached the river with high speed. Yasha can handle the horse well, but Lin Kang face already very pale. He has never ridden the horse before and this speed makes him feeling nausea. They stop before the river where Lin Kang throws up there.
"Sorry about that speed, but I need to make some preparation here," Jun Hua indicate for Yasha to move. The man disappears in an instant leaving Lin Kang stared with mouth wide open.
"He just disappears?" Lin Kang stuttered.
Jun Hua laughed. "Don't mind it. It's the basic skill you need to become an excellent guard. Now it's time to hunt a few beasts."
After Jun Hua had said that, Lin Kang turned his head only to see a few wolves have been standing there. He almost fainted if not for Jun Hua still smiling calmly and took out her sword. She's standing between him and the wolves. In a second, Jun Hua has moved and slashed at the wolf. She moved around and another one is killed.
Lin Kang watched the scene with wide eyes. He had never thought that the slender boy in front of him would actually turn out to be so powerful. A few wolves are nothing to her as she killed them all in ease. After everything is done, Jun Hua sword is red with blood, but there are none on his clothes.
"Don't be that shocked, Lin Kang. This is nothing," Jun Hua smiled. To her a couple of wolves are nothing, but if the numbers exceed 10, she will have hard time to protect the boy. This is only four wolves, but the boy looks like he's seeing a ghost.
"What is it? Don't tell me that a few wolves have scared you?"
Lin Kang shakes his head. "It's not the wolf, but you're really amazing Young General Jun."
"Thanks," Jun Hua smiled. She was about to tied up the wolves' corpse when her eyes turned sharp. She stares at the boy behind her. "Hide behind me."
Suddenly a few men appeared before them. Lin Kang is completely scared by the appearance of these few men and he didn't dare to move.
"I never thought that you would be thinking so highly of me. To actually send seven first-grade assassins," Jun Hua lips curved up.
The assassins are all highly surprised to see Jun Hua still stay calm even in front of them. They're highly skilled, but to think a mere child could found them. It seems the reputation of Jun Min is correct.
Jun Hua was about to move when she sensed an arrow aiming at Lin Kang. The seven assassins also move at the same time. Jun Hua knows what happened, but she still keeps her calm. That Lin Hong sure can pick the time.
