77 Secre (1/2)

”The test will be over soon,” Fan Lanying stretched her body. ”I will be going now. See you some day in the future. It's sad that I won't be going to the academy anymore, but I'm sure that you're going to be alright. Learn in your residence well. I hope we can meet again in the future.”

'Jun Hua' nodded before going towards the carriage and changes her appearance. Xia is standing outside and she's about to leave when Jun Min come over.

”Young Master.”

”You should return first, tell grandfather that I will return late.”

”Yes.”

Jun Hua who is still dressed as Jun Min, walked away after telling Xia that. She used her movement technique and soon leaves the academy. Not long after that, she arrived at the Restaurant Han Yan. The servants there had been used with her and they soon guide her to the usual room. Inside, Soujin already arrived.

”You're really quick,” Jun Hua said.

Soujin nodded. ”You're not bad too.”

”So, what do you want to discuss with me?”

”Have you ever thought what makes us trying to get close with you?” Soujin took his cup. The way he drinks is elegant, totally unlike a general, but instead a scholar.

Jun Hua stared at the handsome face before her. Has she ever thought about it? Yes, she does feel that it's weird. The first time they meet is in that hall and she didn't even doing anything to purposely catch his attention. But after a while, she comes to her own conclusion.

”Is it because we have the same enemy?”

Jun Hua answered caused Soujin to stop his movement for a moment. He stared back at the pair of clear eyes in front of him. That eye is truly similar with the lady he meets, especially in their calmness.

That calm eyes truly remind him of himself and the other two. Whenever they are experiencing dangerous things, their eyes will instead be calmer. The only time their eyes show other expression is when they're joking around and banter with each other. At that time, they had their eyes shined with warmth.

”You're really sharp.”

The only time they have met before interacting is in the hall when they're meeting the emperor. Given that Jun Hua had stared at that man on the throne with cold eyes for a split second, there might be some relation. Nanglong family is neither close to the emperor nor that far too, at most only warm on the surface. Because of that, Jun Hua assumed so, but she only guessed and it still needs confirmation.

Now that Soujin had said that, she comes to know that her guess is true. She wants to know more about it, but it's not likely to be possible since she too doesn't want to divulge her secret. Her biggest secret is her gender which she always hides in order to have the power to suppress the emperor since her family is the military family.

Besides, she doesn't want to use her charm to bewitch that old man. She would prefer planted a knife in that old man heart rather than trying to charm him.

”So, it's true.”

Soujin nodded. ”I don't know why you hate the emperor, but from your cold eye, I guess it's something bad.”

”You hate the emperor too?”

”Partially, he once tries to suppress us,” Soujin answered. His calm face didn't change at all, but the tone on his voice turned colder.

Jun Hua looks at the man before her and a strange feeling arose. Somehow, she could feel from his tone that there are more than only suppressing, but she won't ask. If he doesn't want to tell her, then she won't probe any further.
