355 Sacrifice (2/2)

”I know.”

”Then why do you still take me here?”

”The story is not finished yet,” Ye Jiu answered, ”After the first girl who was born with the power to see the future, every direct lineage from her who is born as a girl would be named Jun Hua because they have the same power to see the future. However, with time, the power decreased, and they would only bestow the name of Jun Hua to those who wield the power after the test.”

Jun Hua frowned. Did it mean that she needed to change her name? After all, she didn't wield the power to see the future, and she certainly didn't want them to mistake her to wield the power just because of her name.

”My name is only a coincidence. The Jun Family in the Long Kingdom doesn't have a connection with the Jun Tribe.”

”You have, you were her descendant because the Jun Family in the Long Kingdom was a branch of the Jun Tribe here,” Ye Jiu explained, his voice sounded rather melancholic.

Jun Hua body tensed up. If she was really the descendant, would it mean that she had the possibility of inheriting the power? She didn't want to have the ability to see the future. Somehow, her sense was telling her that having the power would mean her end.

”We are not the direct lineage, it's impossible,” Jun Hua spoke again.

”Indeed,” Ye Jiu didn't deny her, ”But, I don't need you to have the power. I only need you because of your blood and name.”

”What are you talking about?” Jun Hua have a bad premonition.

”Have you investigated my fiancée?” Ye Jiu asked, ”She didn't die because of natural cause. I killed her.”

What? Jun Hua's eyes widen in shock as she looked towards the front. With the board blocking her view, she cannot see him, but she knew that he was there. Why would he kill his own fiancée?

”She has the power to see the future and because of that, the tribe bestowed the name Jun Hua to her. But, her view is vague and she can only see that future in fragmented pictures. So, she told me the way to transfer the power to other people and make it clearer.”

When Ye Jiu reached this point, Jun Hua knew that it must require him to kill her. But, to kill the person whom you love, could you do that?

Ye Jiu didn't know what expression Jun Hua made right now, but he never regretted his decision. He looked towards the road in front of him as he opened his mouth to tell the rest of the story.

”There is an altar to make sacrifice deep into the sacred forest in the tribe. That altar was made by the first Jun Hua to give her power to her beloved one in order to win the war. If someone kills the flower (Hua) in that altar, he will gain the power to see the future.”

Fear crept up to her body as Jun Hua imagined the scene. That was so sad… She didn't want things to end up that way. However, the next moment, she realized the reason Ye Jiu took her.

”You want to use me…?”

”Yes, the power she held can only allow me to see the future for five years, which is why I lost to you. Now, I will use you to see the further future and take the Long Kingdom into my hand.”

As he said that, Ye Jiu's voice was filled with ruthlessness. He certainly wouldn't give up on the conquest of taking over the kingdom and become the only emperor.

Jun Hua calmed herself down. She wouldn't allow him to succeed. The current Long Kingdom was the result of their preparation for years, she will not let him take it. There must be a way for her to escape and reunited with Soujin again.
