Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

”The one that the girls learn is not the real one?” Den Kan asked in surprise.

Jun Hua nodded. ”To achieve a perfect concentration, that is really deep and long, you need the complete one or you will be easily exhausted. But the technique requires prices to pay, the freedom of the user.”

Den Kan has never heard of such evil technique. To give the one who used it ability beyond humanity, the price it has to pay was enormous. It seemed that everything always had it backside that they needed to pay in order to procure it.

Sou moved forward towards Jun Hua and at the same time fired the arrow towards Den Kan. Yasha immediately blocked the arrow while Jun Hua calmed herself and attack the man. Jun Hua looked towards the man with her eyes, full of determination.

Inside her heart, she knew her condition better than anyone. Should she force herself more than this, she might not be able to fight for a long time anymore. Her body was hurt and she was exhausted, but she still needed to do it.

Moving her feet and arm, Jun Hua lunged forward. With the speed that passed the criteria of normal by leaps and bound, Jun Hua managed to reach him before he could react to her movement. When the strike reached the opponent, Jun Hua mouth curled a bit. This time, she gave a fatal one since he’s not related by blood with her teacher.

”Father!” Niao yelled when she saw her father condition.

Jun Hua pulled the sword back, but at the same time she could taste blood on her mouth. She coughed up and blood came out from her mouth. She sighed at the thought that she had overdone it again this time.

”Miss!” Yasha hurriedly move towards Jun Hua’s side. He looked at his Young Miss worriedly, afraid that she got hurt.

”I’m fine.” Jun Hua looked towards Den Kan. ”Teacher, the rest is all up to you.”

Den Kan watched as the girl slowly walked outside with Yasha behind her. He looked towards the people in front of him. This was not like what he wanted.

…

The next day X Empire got a new leader, nicknamed ”Flower”. As the reason Jun Hua chose this name… she didn’t want anyone to know. In any case, she had managed to achieve her true intention in coming here.

Jun Hua let Yasha reorganized everything and called Yamin to this place while she rested to recover herself. They will be the leader in charge of these people.

Den Kan had finished dealing with the two people. When he came out, Jun Hua didn’t ask him what he did with the three of them. Whatever he did, she won’t question it. Besides, just from seeing the expression of Den Kan, she already knew the answer. He looked towards Jun Hua with complicated expression.

”How do you know that?”

Jun Hua raised her head as she drank some supplement to support her body from exhaustion the day before. The after effect of the fight still lingered in her body as she hadn’t fully recovered yet.

”I met with the assassin of X Empire when I’m only a commander in the border. They sent two people to kill me, the older one and the younger one. The older one told me the secret of this organization before her death.”

Den Kan looked up, ”The younger one?”

”She is my bodyguard now.”

He looked towards Yamin who was busy with Yasha. His mouth opened wide. ”Does she know about the truth?”

”She knew. The older one is her sister and previously, she was the candidate who contends against Niao. She doesn’t want the position because she knew about the dark truth. When she finally meets me and knowing that she cannot win against me, she told me the truth that lies behind the organization in hope that I can protect her sister.”

Den Kan nodded. He looked towards Yamin. ”But, it doesn’t look like you’re protecting her.”

”I only protect her from this place,” Jun Hua said. ”We come into agreement that she will be my guard and I will protect her if the opponent is people from here. I have fulfilled my promise, she can now rest easy.”

”You have been planning everything?”

Jun Hua nodded. She did want to find this organization, but at that time, Yamin had told her that the entrance was hard. She has the mark, but only the lowest one and would surely go through a lot of investigation. It is then Jun Hua remembered her master and the mark on his arm.

When she left him before, Den Kan told her to forget about him and never returned. It was because he’s worried about her and Jun Hua too had her share of trouble. It was only a few years later did she returned, when she had gained strength to cover for herself.
