273 Declaration of War (1/2)
Nanglong family territory
Yan looked towards the other two with a sulky face. ”Why don't you tell me sooner that Ming Hui already found the person? I spend hours just to search for him!”
Soujin himself also took some hours, but he quickly met with Ming Hui which made him aware of the news. On the side, Ming Hui could only grin sheepishly. It was not his intention to find that girl faster than them, it was only coincidence.
Ming Hui narrated the story he had prepared beforehand and told them the kind of collaboration they would have with the Mountain Kingdom. Hearing the terms Ming Hui said, the other two went silent for a moment to think.
”It seemed that we are latching into a big opponent too,” Yan smiled wryly. With the term as Ming Hui said, it was safe to say that they wouldn't be able to release themselves from the other party easily.
Ming Hui grinned. ”Didn't Soujin want to meet with that lass too?”
”Prepare for the war. It won't take too long before the new emperor declares war.”
”Got it,” Ming Hui and Yan nodded.

Mountain Kingdom
Jun Hua safely returned to the capital sneakily. She managed to escape from her own people supervision and sneaked to the palace. It didn't take long for her to arrive in the palace where her family stayed. Her grandfather was in the living room, reviewing document. Jun Hua chose to get inside the room to meet with her grandfather silently.
”Grandpa, I'm home,” Jun Hua smiled broadly.
Jun Zhenxian almost dropped the paper on his hand. He looked towards his granddaughter and hurriedly walked to her side. ”Hua'er! Why don't you tell us when you're arriving?”
”I did, just now.”
The one he meant was when she was on the journey to the capital. Not a single news could be heard from the people here about the arrival of Jun Hua even though it was supposed to take several days. Patting his granddaughter's head, he sighed.
”Do you use your martial arts again in the Kai Kingdom?”
Hearing that question, Jun Hua stilled. She looked towards her grandfather for a moment before nodding her head slightly, admitting to his claim.
Jun Zhenxian's face turned black. ”You brat, do you forget that you're not allowed to use the martial arts again after that incident with Lan Pan?”
Jun Hua scratched her head. Without that martial art, she would not succeed in her plan. Although her plan was only using them a bit, she unconsciously overexerted herself.
”Do you forget the doctor's instruction, Jun Hua?”
”I remember,” Jun Hua answered promptly. ”I won't participate in the frontline anymore, so I won't use that martial art again.”
Jun Zhenxian looked towards Jun Hua suspiciously. This little brat really didn't join the battle, but she used the martial art to fight again. No matter how many times he reminded her, she still didn't listen to him.
How he wished she would be an obedient little girl.
Jun Hua chose to change the conversation. ”How's the business, Grandpa?”
