154 Enjoying the Festival (1/2)

”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…
