Mountain Kingdom Road

Jun Hua was sitting inside her carriage as she listened to her people telling her the news of the attack in Nanglong Family territory just a few days before.

”So Soujin manage to return in time?” Jun Hua smiled at the news, ”That's good!”

When the man suddenly has to return, she secretly sent her people to find out what happened. From them, she found out that the Kai Kingdom used the chance of Soujin going away from the territory to attack them.

”But to think that the old man was chosen as Soujin replacement…” Jun Hua frowned upon hearing that news. If Nanglong Souka was the one holding the control over Soujin's soldier, there was little doubt that they would lose in a matter of days.

”They nearly lose in just a few clashes,” Yamin added.

Jun Hua wore a face like she had already guessed it. There was no way that old man could replace Soujin in terms of leading the soldier. If Nanglong Souka knew that Jun Hua was looking down at him too, he might consider burying his head into the ground out of shame, and that was if he still has a sense of shame.

Yamin looked at her Miss expression before continuing the report, ”They also executed the spy, going by the name Madam Qin.”

Hearing that name, Jun Hua stilled for a moment. She knew two people in their side going by the surname of Qin. Qin Shie was eliminated first hand from her mind because she had met with the other party directly and knew that she really loved Soujin, so it shouldn't be her. As for the other one….

”Yan's fake mother?” Jun Hua asked with a frown.

”Yes,” Yamin answered carefully. Her mind thought about the word 'fake'. Jun Hua was also investigating the imperial family and found a rather weird secret. When Yamin first delivered the result of the investigation to Jun Hua, the girl looked rather perplexed. Now that the woman was actually harming her friend, Yamin was not sure how Jun Hua would feel.

Jun Hua didn't say anything for a while then she dismissed the other. Her finger tapped the table in front of her a few times as she thought about it.

”If you still didn't want to rest, I will tie you up for the rest of the journey,” Jun Zhenxian barged into her carriage and said immediately.

Jun Hua looked up. Unknown to her, the carriage stopped for a moment in order to allow Jun Zhenxian got down and climbed up hers. Really, this grandfather of hers still didn't have any manners to barge into a girl's carriage.

”I'm resting properly.”

”No, you're not,” Jun Zhenxian put the paper in front of her away and looked towards the girl's eye, ”You're clearly exerting your mind to think a lot of things, the news you get and the next plan after we reach the capital.”

Jun Hua evaded her grandfather eyes, ”That's already common. It won't make my wound worse too.”

”You're really stubborn,” Jun Zhenxian said with a sigh. He really didn't know what this little lass was thinking. There would be no need for him to force her to speak too if she didn't want to, so he just leaned back to his chair and pointed outside.

”There are a lot of children playing outside. Do you want to join them?”

”Grandpa…I'm already 15.”

”15 is still a kid,” Jun Zhenxian said, ”Besides, you're not married yet, so you're still under my care.”

”…” are you telling me to hurry and marry someone?

Jun Hua chose to ignore the last statement of her grandfather and looked outside of the carriage. They were passing through several small cities. and she could see the children playing with their friends on the street. Seeing them, she recalled her childhood, when she once played with other children too.

”If you want to get out, you can.”
