Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

With the young man’s guidance, Soujin quickly arrived at the tribe headquarter. When he looked at the big wall in front of him and the line of the building, he wondered whether this was the Ming City or a village. There was simply no difference between the two of them.

”That is the door,” the young man pointed to the door at the side.

Soujin glanced at the door and approaches it. His gaze turned icy as he looked towards the young man.

”Can you open the door?”

The young man nodded his head. He moved towards the door and turned the ring on the door. A mark appeared as the door opened. Before he could say anything, Soujin had already rushed inside while Lou stuffed a pouch into his hand and run inside.

The young man was stunned. He kept the pouch and head towards the gate. The guards on the gate tensed up when they saw him and they gave him unfriendly gaze.

”Where is my father? I need to meet with him,” the young man said as he stuffed a coin to the guard’s hand.

The guards looked at each other before they relayed a message while the young man waited in front of the gate leisurely.

…

Soujin didn’t need a long time to find Jun Hua because the two of them hadn’t traveled far. Ye Jiu noticed Soujin’s arrival and he quickly pulled Jun Hua and pointed a knife to her neck. With Jun Hua’s current condition, there was no way she could react in time.

”Return Jun Hua back!” Soujin stopped in his track. He could see that Ye Jiu was putting the knife real close with Jun Hua. With their martial arts level at almost the same, he cannot guarantee that he could save Jun Hua before Ye Jiu killed her.

With Jun Hua was still breathing heavily and the beads of sweats on her forehead, Soujin knew that she was tired. The weakened state of Jun Hua made his heart ache and his rage boiled towards Ye Jiu at an unknown high and dangerous level.

Ye Jiu narrowed his eyes. The altar was still a distance away from this place, and he couldn’t possibly drag Jun Hua all the way while watching after Soujin’s movement. If he were to kill this woman before they reached the altar, he wouldn’t get the power. That was the rule that his fiancée told him in the past.

”I won’t. I need her power,” Ye Jiu said obstinately.

”She can’t she future,” Soujin said.

”I only need her blood and life,” Ye Jiu answered as he starts to move backward while dragging the half-conscious Jun Hua in his arm.

Seeing Jun Hua in that state made Nanglong Soujin’s heart pained terribly. He wanted to rush over and save Jun Hua as fast as possible. Besides, he still needed to cure her poison first.

Hearing Nanglong Soujin’s voice, Jun Hua raised her eyelids a little bit. She could faintly see the disheveled Soujin in front of her. Her lips curled up, he came for her. She could sense the knife on her neck moved slightly when Ye Jiu move. She waited for the next step as she gathered her concentration and power into her feet and arm.

When Ye Jiu stepped again, Jun Hua pushed her head back to his chest while her hand moved to hold the arm that holding the knife, preventing it from hurting her. Her sudden movement staggered the other party. And then, she swiftly docked to the side, knocking his other hand that held her. Before Ye Jiu could react, she leaped forward to Soujin’s embrace in front of her.

Jun Hua’s sudden movement shocked Soujin, but he captured her instantly while Lou dashed forward and battle with Ye Jiu. Although Ye Jiu was caught off guard by Jun Hua, he can block Lou’s attack at the right time and counter-attacked the other party.

His face darkened. This was the second time he was caught off guard by the little girl. Just what was that insane speed she had?

Soujin hurriedly opened the tie on Jun Hua’s hand as she stayed quiet in his embrace. She smiled when she saw Soujin’s face up close.

”You’ve come,” she murmured, ”thank you.”

Jun Hua passed out and Nanglong Soujin hugged her tightly while he was still busy dealing with her arm and leg. On the other hand, Lou focused on dealing with Ye Jiu completely because he knew that Ye Jiu was far stronger than him. Luckily, Ye Jiu was wounded by Jun Hua in several places before, slightly slowing his movement down.

Soujin wanted to take care of Ye Jiu right here and now, but Jun Hua placed first in his priority list. With the chain come off and the tie was broken, he quickly carried her away.

”Lou, regroup later.”

”Yes, Young Master,” Lou answered as he evaded the attack.

Watching them going away, Ye Jiu was distracted for a moment, and Lou’s attack hit him in that moment. He quickly gathered his attention back. If he were to think about other things, he would surely die next time.

When Soujin came out from the gate, he saw that young man was talking with an older man. They turned around when they heard the noise Soujin made. The appearance of Soujin bringing a woman in his hand made the two people stunned.

”Who are you?” the old man asked.

”I’m just a passing general who came here to retrieve my wife,” Soujin answered. He could see that this old man was someone with authority in this place.

The young man pointed towards Soujin, ”He’s the man I tell you that come here to find the altar.”

The old man looked towards Jun Hua before glancing back to Soujin in a split second, ”You can come inside if you need to rest. I will call a doctor for her.”

Soujin frowned. He didn’t believe this old man.

The young man waved his hand, ”She came from the Jun Family, right? There is no way Ye Jiu would take her to the altar if she is not.”

The old man glared at the young man before turning his head to the guards, ”Catch Ye Jiu from the ancient altar.”

”Yes Your Highness.”

The guards walk pass Soujin while he still stood there, looking highly suspicious.

”Young man, the little lady needs rest. Don’t worry. We don’t have any intention of hurting her.”
