Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

”Why are you looking at me like that?” Jun Min stared at his uncle whose face was really dark. After that time in the garden, they went to the dining room to get some food. All this time, Jun Qing still looked towards Jun Min with a dark face.

”You have just ruined something good…”

Jun Min looked towards Kuina who was still hiding her red face. ”Men and women should maintain their distances before they get married. Do you even realize that you were being watched, uncle?”

Jun Qing was startled. They were being watched? This time, the princess’s face turned redder. Both of them didn’t realize anything. Even with Jun Qing’s high martial arts, he still could not detect them, who was watching them?

”You’re not lying, right?” This was the palace and the sky had already turned dark, so Kuina could not think of anyone who would watch over them.

Jun Min nodded his head. ”I would not lie over such matters like this. Aside from that, your progress is really quick, Uncle.”

Jun Qing’s face turned even darker at Jun Min’s statement. So what if they got attracted to each other during such a short time? In this kind of age, it’s even normal for men and women to marry even before meeting each other. In addition, he didn’t want to be lectured about something like that by someone who is a decade younger than him.

”Better than you who don’t have any candidates.”

”I haven’t reached a marriageable age yet, Uncle.”

”… Did you even try to search for any partner?”

”Nope, I’m not that desperate enough to try searching for a partner when I’m still called a kid by other people,” Jun Min grinned, partially revealing that someone had treated him as a kid.

Jun Qing was highly irritated when he looked at that grin plastered on his nephew’s face. ”Don’t interfere with the matter of adults then, little kid. Just go back to your room and be a good boy.”

”I wonder what you’re going to do if I didn’t interfere previously. I bet someone would be glad to beat you up if you were to move even another step.”

His mind cleared up the moment Jun Min reminded him about the previous matter. However, he was still feeling rather gloomy about the nonchalant way Jun Min told him about that. He was in truth, a girl. How can he still say that with such a poker face? Shouldn’t a girl be more reserved? Suddenly, he felt regret allowing his nephew to live as a man all these years.

Actually, Jun Min’s face was red, but because he was wearing a face mask, the mask cannot turn red. Because of that, his uncle mistakenly believed that he didn’t feel any embarrassment. Of course, Jun Min would only reveal this thing to him later on.

Kuina’s face turned even redder when she remembered that Jun Min had watched her too.

”What about you, General Jun Min? Is that someone you mentioned not you?”

Jun Min nodded. ”Nope, it’s not me. You’re a brave princess and a good one at that. It will be a good thing for my uncle to have a good bride like you.”

Kuina bit her lips. ”Please don’t say that so blatantly.”

”And I would love to have an aunt,” Jun Min grinned. She has been the only girl in the Jun family for a long time already. It will be good if she has an aunt who she can talk with.

”Thank you,” Jun Qing said to Jun Min seriously. He had never expected that his niece would support him like this. He expected he would have objections especially since Kuina is a princess of the Mountain Kingdom.

”You still need to convince grandfather though. Now, can we have some privacy? General Tou, please ask your subordinates to leave this room.”

A burst of laughter came to their ears as General Tou appeared from the side. He looked at Jun Min in astonishment.

”You’re really a talented boy, kid. Even my most talented squad cannot conceal themselves,” he waved his hand and Jun Qing could finally sense it, several people going outside from their hiding place. His mouth twitched a bit. It seems they were being monitored.

Kuina glared at General Tou. ”You still send people to look after me?”

”Of course, you’re the future empress of Mountain Kingdom. How can I let you stay alone?” General Tou said helplessly.

Kuina turned her face away. ”Then you’re the one in charge of my marriage.”

”Hahaha, I will do my best, my lady.”

General Tou shifted his attention towards Jun Min. ”Now, young man, what do you want to tell us?”

”First of all, keep this to yourself,” Jun Min said seriously. Seeing the two of them nodding solemnly, Jun Min’s hands reached her face as she took off the face mask, revealing the face of a stunning beauty.

Kuina’s mouth hung open and General Tou stared blankly. Jun Qing can only sigh at the sight of the two of them. At least, their expressions are better than his when he saw Jun Hua holding the sword and fighting against him with such a level at that tender age...

”You… you’re a girl!” Kuina said, surprised.

Jun Hua smiled. ”My real name is Jun Hua.”

”Jun Hua…” General Tou remembered that the Jun family only had four family members, Jun Zhenxian, Jun Qing, Jun Min, and Jun Hua. It turns out that Jun Hua and Jun Min are the same person. He almost could not believe his eyes because he remembered from the day he fought this little bo-erm girl, that she was a really talented fighter.

”Sorry for hiding this from you, but my real identity is a secret,” Jun Hua smiled.

”Why are you telling us?” Kuina asked.

”Well, you’re going to be my aunt, right? Isn’t it’s better to tell you now, so you wouldn’t be surprised in the future?”

”You’re already giving me a heart attack…”

It took them a long time to believe that Jun Min is Jun Hua. After a good while of talking, finally, General Tou sighed.

”You have made me see that a girl can become a general, Jun Hua,” General Tou truly respected this little girl. No matter what, she’s someone who can use both her brain and brawn to dictate a battle when even a lot of men cannot do the same things at her age. The might of the Jun family is truly something amazing.

”It’s not like I want to,” Jun Hua answered amiably. She was forced by the situation. Thus, ’General Jun Min’ was born. But that was a story for another time.

”With you hiding your identity from the emperor, how do you plan to live as both Jun Min and Jun Hua?” Kuina asked again.

Jun Hua showed a crafty smile. ”I have just thought of some plans. It probably won’t take long for me.”

”You better move here quickly.” Kuina had come to like this girl. She knows that she only acted reserved because she was acting as a boy. But because the two of them are girls, there was no need to act so reservedly anymore.

”I will do my best.”
