363 Head of Jun Tribe (2/2)
Soujin pulled her into the carriage and head towards the palace while ignoring the flirting couple. Not long after that, they reached the palace, and the servant ushered them in. The grand palace made Yan felt even more determined to build a bigger palace once he returned.
The head of the Jun Tribe nodded to them once they come into the hall. His eyes particularly looked towards Jun Zhenxian and Jun Hua, inspecting them with passion.
”Head of the Jun Tribe, would you please retract your gaze?” Soujin said in a warning tone. He didn't like it when someone was looking towards his wife, especially during this time when Jun Hua was not wearing a veil and her extraordinary complexion was there for all to see.
The head of the Jun tribe hurriedly retracted his gaze. He had done his investigation about them, and he knew that each of them was not ordinary people. Should he offend them, the Jun Tribe and Long Kingdom would surely enter a long period of war.
”General Soujin, shall we talk about the matter on hand?” the head of the Jun Tribe hurriedly changed the topic.
Soujin nodded his head, ”This general is listening.”
The talk lasted for a longer term than what they would expect. Because there was a branch member of Jun Tribe in the Long Kingdom (Jun Hua), he didn't want the two to fight. After a series of offer from both side and wager, they finally come into terms to not attack each other and didn't bother with each side.
In this conversation, the one talking the most was Yan since he was the most capable one. Soujin only initiated and ended it while Jun Hua was not allowed to talk at all. After a long time, they finally finished.
The head of the Jun Tribe was satisfied with the result of their talk. With each side got what they want, they reached the agreement.
Jun Hua raised her head, ”Head of Jun Tribe, may I ask a question?”
”What is it, young lady?”
”I want to know more about the altar,” Jun Hua answered, ”And the legend behind the power.”
The head of the Jun Tribe stayed silent for a moment before answering, ”The legend came from a long time ago and the record was lost with time, so no one knew about the real stories. From what we heard, there is a lady named Jun Hua who has the power to see the future, thus she changed the course of the war in the era and led her people into victory.
However, her effort is not enough as there are too many enemies faced by the person, and she is incapable of helping him. With no other option, she chose to sacrifice herself and give her power in order to let the person she loved win the war.”
”Did he win?”
”No one knew anymore,” The head of the Jun Tribe said in a regretful tone, ”Some say that he win while the others said that he didn't. All in all, the only thing left is the fact that the Jun Tribe had the power from that day even though we only have distant relationship with her.”
”She didn't have any children?”
”I'm sorry, but I don't know.”
”What happened with the record?” Jun Hua asked in bewilderment. Such an important legend and yet they allowed the record to be lost?
”In one of the chaotic era when we nearly got annihilated, the record was burned to ash, not leaving a single bit for us anymore,” The head of the Jun Tribe answered.
Jun Hua nodded her head before remembering something, ”What about the vision the ladies from Jun Tribe had when they touch the door?”
”The vision is there, but they only see a crowd of people in ancient clothing for split second, nothing more.”
Jun Hua frowned. She was pretty sure that she had seen the crowd of people before, but she can faintly hear their voice too. She looked up.
”May I ask for permission to see the altar?”
