360 The Actual Cause (1/2)
After quite some time, Soujin finally accept their invitation to get inside, but he still didn't allow them to come near Jun Hua. He sat near Jun Hua's bed as the two men sat further.
”Sorry for crashing in your place like this,” Soujin said.
He had learned that the old man was the head of this tribe while the young man was the next head. Because of some incident, which was the death of his stepsister, the young man's position was taken away from him and given to his brother.
The young man shook his head, ”There is no need to apologize. Thanks to you now they believe that I'm not the one who killed my sister.”
The old man hit the young man on the head as he shook his head, ”You can stay here for the time being. As for Ye Jiu, we are sorry to say that he had escaped.”
”There is no need to worry, he will surely come to find Jun Hua again,” Soujin's eyes glinted with fury. When that guy came again, he will surely chop him off to the ground.
”Jun Hua?” the young man looked towards the girl on the bed with a weird expression.
”She doesn't have the power to see the future,” Soujin felt tired explaining these things to them, ”It's only a coincidence that their name is the same.”
The old man nodded his head. He looked towards Jun Hua with complicated look in his face before standing up. There was no need for him to trouble them when the girl was still in poor condition.
”We shall talk again when the little girl is healthy again.”
The old man left the room followed by the young man. Soujin looked towards Jun Hua with a sad expression, and he moved his hand to caress her hair.
”You're really making me worried.”
When he noticed that Jun Hua was moving towards him, all he could think was catching the girl and protected her. Luckily, Lou acted on time and move forward to fight with Ye Jiu or he would need to fight with one hand.
He caressed the girl's head as he sighed, ”Get better quickly. I didn't wait for you just to see you leave me again.”
Soujin stared at the sleeping girl on the bed. The young man already gave him the antidote, which Soujin fed to Jun Hua. Her complexion did turn slightly better, but it was still not enough to say that she was fully healthy. He will need to wait for Ming Hui to come and do some check up for Jun Hua.
He didn't know how long time has passed when the young lady's eyes opened.
”Soujin,” Jun Hua muttered as her gaze focused on the man beside her, ”What happened in the pathway?”
Soujin knew the pathway she mentioned must be the one where Ye Jiu took her to the altar. He frowned slightly since he didn't want her to know more than she had known.
”Don't you remember anything?”
”I remember you coming and I ran to you,” Jun Hua didn't really remember how she managed to free herself from Ye Jiu since her mind at that time was blurry. All she knew was that she was determined to reach Soujin at any cost.
Soujin nodded his head, ”You're right.”
”After that, what happened?”
”Lou fought with Ye Jiu, but he escaped,” Soujin answered. Lou was not wounded badly, but the other soldiers from the Jun Tribe couldn't contend against Ye Jiu. Because of their lack in skill, Ye Jiu escaped and disappeared from this place.
Jun Hua nodded her head. She was not surprised to hear that Ye Jiu had escaped. With the level of martial arts that man had, there was hardly anyone who could fight on par with him. Of course, that would exclude Soujin since he would surely manage to do that.
Her eyes search around the room, ”Where am I?”
”We are in the Jun Tribe headquarters,” Soujin answered, ”I manage to meet with one of the Jun Tribe members on the road.”
Jun Hua raised her hand to Soujin's face, ”You hadn't rested at all, have you?”
Soujin smiled dryly. There was certainly nothing he could hide from this sharp girl, ”I will rest later. Ming Hui will soon arrive here with the others. Do you want to eat?”
