Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Nanglong Soujin had long known that he lost the bet, but he didn’t feel much anxious. A different matter happened with his grandfather who was already berating him loudly the moment he stepped into their home.

”Are you done, old man?”

Nanglong Souka could only raise his hand in a helpless manner while Nanglong Soujin’s mother, Qin Shie, tried to ease up her father-in-law’s anger. She felt that Soujin had already done enough for the kingdom, so why should this old man continue to pester her son?

”Come here, Soujin. You must be tired from all the war. Why don’t you rest up for a while?”

Towards his mother, Soujin was far warmer. ”It’s alright, mom. I didn’t hurry back to the capital, so I’m not really tired.”

”Silly boy, then let’s eat. Mother prepared your favorite meal.”

Getting ignored by his grandson, Nanglong Souka could only forcefully accept it and eat with them while grumbling. He had already lost one of his treasures and now even his grandson was ignoring him. After eating, Soujin bid farewell and went to the Jun family residence to fulfill his end of the bargain.

Jun Zhenxian almost spurted the water he was drinking when a servant told him that Nanglong Soujin had come to visit. He might have understood if it was Nanglong Souka, but Nanglong Soujin? Why in the world would that boy suddenly come here?

”What does he want?”

”He is looking for Jun Min.”

”Let him in and call Jun Min to come here!”

Jun Hua was in her room when the servant told her about Soujin. Jun Hua hurriedly tossed the book she was reading on the table and dressed up as Jun Min. She knew about the reason Soujin had come, but never expected him to arrive straight to her house the moment he returned to the capital!

In only a few minutes, Jun Hua finished dressing up and came out to meet Nanglong Soujin. Nanglong Soujin had just arrived and was currently talking with Jun Zhenxian when he saw a little boy walking towards him.

”Soujin, why are you here today?” Jun Hua asked with a hint of displeasure.

Soujin laughed. ”Today is a Saturday and it’s a perfect day to fulfill my debt. Do you have time to stroll the streets?”

”I do,” Jun Hua nodded. ”Grandpa, I will be going out for a while.”

Without waiting for Jun Zhenxian to answer, Jun Hua hastily bolted from the room followed by Nanglong Soujin. Jun Zhenxian could only watch helplessly. Just what those two are planning now? Never mind, he will just ask Jun Hua when she returned.

Soujin and Jun Min walked along the streets. At first, Jun Hua thought that they would go by carriage, but surprisingly, this man wanted her to walk on foot. Several passersby were staring at them with curiosity. It was rare to see two exceedingly gorgeous young men on the streets. Especially those girls, many of them flushed the moment they laid eyes on these two.

Jun Hua ignored them and focused on following Nanglong Soujin. He didn’t talk much while walking, but the silence only lasted for a few minutes before Soujin stopped in front of a luxurious restaurant. Jun Hua stared at the restaurant’s name with wide eyes. She had long heard about this restaurant and its highly expensive food. Eating here would surely cost a lot.

”Restaurant Han Yan. Soujin, isn’t this restaurant highly expensive? If you’re not friends with the Young Noble Han, you have to pay their price ten times more.”

Young Noble Han was a wealthy figure, but no one actually knew him. The number of people who knew his real face was very few, and they too would not willingly divulge his identity. Because of this, Restaurant Han Yan was deemed the most exclusive restaurant in the capital, but many people would still come here because of the luxurious atmosphere and good food.

”Don’t worry, I know the owner.”

With that, Nanglong Soujin walked inside calmly with Jun Hua who followed behind. The splendor of this place was not losing out with the palace. Jun Hua felt like her eyes were blinded by the richness of everything in this restaurant. Now, she finally realized why a lot of people were willing to part with their money to eat here. This was truly a good place to brag, especially to girls.

”Soujin! You really took your time!” a man yelled. Jun Hua’s eyes almost popped out when she saw that person. It was Prince Yan, the third prince of Ming Kingdom. She didn’t know that a prince could behave like that...

”Ming Yan, I brought a guest here,” Soujin casually pointed out.

Jun Hua hurriedly bowed down. ”Jun Min greets Prince Yan.”
