Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

360 The Actual Cause

After quite some time, Soujin finally accept their invitation to get inside, but he still didn't allow them to come near Jun Hua. He sat near Jun Hua's bed as the two men sat further.

"Sorry for crashing in your place like this," Soujin said.

He had learned that the old man was the head of this tribe while the young man was the next head. Because of some incident, which was the death of his stepsister, the young man's position was taken away from him and given to his brother.

The young man shook his head, "There is no need to apologize. Thanks to you now they believe that I'm not the one who killed my sister."

The old man hit the young man on the head as he shook his head, "You can stay here for the time being. As for Ye Jiu, we are sorry to say that he had escaped."

"There is no need to worry, he will surely come to find Jun Hua again," Soujin's eyes glinted with fury. When that guy came again, he will surely chop him off to the ground.

"Jun Hua?" the young man looked towards the girl on the bed with a weird expression.

"She doesn't have the power to see the future," Soujin felt tired explaining these things to them, "It's only a coincidence that their name is the same."

The old man nodded his head. He looked towards Jun Hua with complicated look in his face before standing up. There was no need for him to trouble them when the girl was still in poor condition.

"We shall talk again when the little girl is healthy again."

The old man left the room followed by the young man. Soujin looked towards Jun Hua with a sad expression, and he moved his hand to caress her hair.

"You're really making me worried."

When he noticed that Jun Hua was moving towards him, all he could think was catching the girl and protected her. Luckily, Lou acted on time and move forward to fight with Ye Jiu or he would need to fight with one hand.

He caressed the girl's head as he sighed, "Get better quickly. I didn't wait for you just to see you leave me again."

Soujin stared at the sleeping girl on the bed. The young man already gave him the antidote, which Soujin fed to Jun Hua. Her complexion did turn slightly better, but it was still not enough to say that she was fully healthy. He will need to wait for Ming Hui to come and do some check up for Jun Hua.

He didn't know how long time has passed when the young lady's eyes opened.

"Soujin," Jun Hua muttered as her gaze focused on the man beside her, "What happened in the pathway?"

Soujin knew the pathway she mentioned must be the one where Ye Jiu took her to the altar. He frowned slightly since he didn't want her to know more than she had known.

"Don't you remember anything?"

"I remember you coming and I ran to you," Jun Hua didn't really remember how she managed to free herself from Ye Jiu since her mind at that time was blurry. All she knew was that she was determined to reach Soujin at any cost.

Soujin nodded his head, "You're right."

"After that, what happened?"

"Lou fought with Ye Jiu, but he escaped," Soujin answered. Lou was not wounded badly, but the other soldiers from the Jun Tribe couldn't contend against Ye Jiu. Because of their lack in skill, Ye Jiu escaped and disappeared from this place.

Jun Hua nodded her head. She was not surprised to hear that Ye Jiu had escaped. With the level of martial arts that man had, there was hardly anyone who could fight on par with him. Of course, that would exclude Soujin since he would surely manage to do that.

Her eyes search around the room, "Where am I?"

"We are in the Jun Tribe headquarters," Soujin answered, "I manage to meet with one of the Jun Tribe members on the road."

Jun Hua raised her hand to Soujin's face, "You hadn't rested at all, have you?"

Soujin smiled dryly. There was certainly nothing he could hide from this sharp girl, "I will rest later. Ming Hui will soon arrive here with the others. Do you want to eat?"

Jun Hua nodded, and Soujin asked the servants to bring her porridge and food for him. The two of them ate the food quickly before Jun Hua was forced to rest on the bed by Soujin again. Her complexion was good, but she still felt rather drowsy and tired.

"Did you overtrain again these past few weeks?" from what Soujin knew, she rarely touched her swords again until today. With him keeping her in the residence after their marriage and their one month of smooth journey to this place, she shouldn't have trained that much anymore.

Jun Hua shook her head. She knew very well that her body was not in good condition due to her participating in the war against Ye Jiu a couple of months before. She still should rest for a long time, but she didn't, which made the doctor strictly warn her to rest. Because of that, she didn't do much exercise except a bit warm up in order to keep her body condition.

"Is it because of the poison?" Soujin's eyes glinted in ruthlessness. If it was really because of the poison, he would surely butcher that Ye Jiu the moment he appeared.

Jun Hua didn't know. All she knew was that she felt tired and was unwilling to move too much, so Soujin let her rest as much as she wanted. After waiting for around one day, Ming Hui and the others arrived in the city.

"Hua'er," Jun Zhenxian happily hugged his granddaughter before berating her again. He wouldn't allow her to do anything reckless again now that she was already a married woman.

Jun Hua laughed dryly, but she was glad for the attention her grandfather gave her, "Don't worry Grandpa, Soujin won't let me do anything reckless anymore."

"What do you mean don't worry? The two of you are the most reckless people!"

"…"

"…"

It took Jun Zhenxian long time to preach and warn before he could calm down. On the other hand, Nanglong Soujin head over to Ming Hui to consult on Jun Hua's condition. Consultation such as whether the late intake of an antidote would have a side effect or not and so on.

Ming Hui listened to Nanglong Soujin with a frown looming on his forehead. Fan Lanying and Yamin both have recovered not long after he gave them the antidote, why did Jun Hua still feeling unwell? However, looking at her complexion, he was sure that she was not sick.

"Will Hua'er get better?" Fan Lanying was starting to become anxious.

Yan shrugged, "That woman general will surely fine. There is no way she would die that easily."

"…" are you telling me that she can die from this illness?

Ming Hui and Soujin ignored Yan who was getting chased by Fan Lanying as they entered the room. Jun Zhenxian sat on the side, clearly looked relieved that his granddaughter was fine but worry because of her current condition.

"Ming Hui," Jun Hua greeted with a smile while she was still sitting on her bed.

Ming Hui nodded his head, "Let me check your pulse. Pardon my intrusion."

With him knowing the rules for the nobility, he picked out a handkerchief and put it in Jun Hua's wrist before he checked her pulse. He concentrated for several minutes before looking towards Jun Hua.

"What is your feeling?"

"Tired," Jun Hua answered, "Is it really bad?"

"Have you felt sleepier these past few days?"

Jun Hua nodded her head. Soujin watched tensely as Ming Hui retracted his hand, "You shouldn't hold your sword at all for the time being."

Jun Hua already kind of expecting this answer. Still, she complained inside her mind. How long did she need to stay away from her sword? She already didn't touch it for a year before that battle, and she too didn't force herself much at the war, so her condition shouldn't be that bad.

Soujin nodded his head. He will make sure that she didn't touch the sword, "For how long?"

"Nine months," Ming Hui said seriously, yet his lips were slightly raised.

"Nine months?" Jun Hua felt that Ming Hui's expression was slightly off.

Ming Hui grinned and said, "You're going to be a mother."
