125 Jun Hua Past Part One: The Talented Young Girl

Looking at the small Jun Hua, Jun Zhenxian feels his heart ached. "Saya, this time I won't allow my granddaughter to marriage a scum."

"Yes, you need to pick a better man for her," Jun Saya nodded. "But, before that we need to teach her to be a proper girl. She needs a good teaching."

Jun Qing smiled wryly. Given their family condition, how can they possibly send the girl to school and learn the necessary things? They can barely keep their soldiers and their territory. It will be hard to maintain a good balance in their income as of now.

"Hua'er," Jun Saya squatted down to look at the girl face. She feels heart ached whenever she looks at Jun Hua, but her face is similar with her causing her to feel more comfortable. If Jun Hua were to be a boy with face similar to Lin Tang, she would feel immense torture whenever looking at the little girl face.

"You need to learn etiquette and manner. Be a good girl, okay?"

Jun Hua looks at her mother face. Usually, she would comply with whatever her mother told her, but this time she shakes her head. Her action caused Jun Saya to be surprised.

"Hua'er! Listen to mother!"

Jun Hua shakes her head. "Hua'er doesn't want to learn etiquette. Hua'er wants to be a general and protect mother."

Jun Saya feels her heart is stabbed by this little girl words. She shakes her head. "No, you can't be a general."

"Why?" Jun Hua looks at her mother eyes. "Mother said that if there is a good general in Jun family, then we are going to be alright. Hua'er wants to be that general."

"Being a general is hard, Jun Hua…" Jun Saya cannot explain fully. She knows that whatever she said, Jun Hua is too little to understand the scary things about war and how hard it is to be a leader. The girl is too small and she doesn't need to understand those things. Jun Saya doesn't want her daughter to get involved with the struggle of Jun family.

Jun Qing sighed. He recognizes the gaze on Jun Hua face. It's the same as their uncle gaze. It's a stubborn gaze that shows that he won't back down. He knows that no matter what Jun Saya said, Jun Hua won't change her view.

"Jun Saya, you won't be able to change her thought."

Jun Saya knows that. She knows that the moment she sees this gaze. This girl seems to have inherited her uncle stubborn demeanor. But, as a mother, she doesn't want to see her daughter suffered. The war is not the place for girls, but Jun Hua wouldn't change her view even if she told her that.

"Jun Hua, do you think you can hold a sword and battle your enemies?" Jun Saya stared at her daughter eyes.

Jun Hua nodded. "Hua'er can use the sword."

"You can use sword? But mother never teaches you," Jun Saya cannot use the sword. She only learned a little bit before abandoning it in her youth. There is no way Jun Hua can use the sword from her.

"Hua'er learned in a training hall," Jun Hua answered. "Hua'er learned it secretly… because Hua'er doesn't want to see them bully mother."

Jun Saya feels her eyes are welled up with tears again. She never thought that her daughter would actually do something like that. It's all for her…

"Then, let uncle test you," Jun Qing placed his hand on Jun Saya shoulder. He wants to reassure his sister that if Jun Hua is not good like her mother, he won't allow her to join the battlefield. This test is actually to deter Jun Hua from going to the battlefield.

Jun Saya nodded. At that time, she hoped that her daughter would be useless in martial arts like her. But, the heaven has different plans.

Jun Qing picks a wooden sword and Jun Hua took her rod. She pulled a wooden sword from inside the rod making them realize that the rod is actually a case. Jun Hua stands before Jun Qing as she gathered her concentration.

That moment is something Jun Qing would never forget in his whole life. As the girl closes her eyes, her aura started to change and even Jun Qing could somehow feels danger from the little girl. He stayed with his stance and the moment Jun Hua opened her eyes, she runs forward in an inconceivable speed. Her wooden sword is attacking her uncle right to his stomach.

Jun Qing almost unable to guard on time. If not for his numerous experiences on the battle, he would never be able to hold against the girl strike. That one single strike is heavy, totally unlike the small stature of Jun Hua, which makes him understand that the little girl before him is not an ordinary girl.

Jun Zhenxian eyes flashed with astonishment. With his careful eyes, how could he not notice that Jun Qing had turned serious under the attack of a girl 10 years younger than him?

"Jun Saya, your daughter is really blessed with talent," Jun Zhenxian said with trembling voice. In his whole life, he never saw anyone having the same talent with Jun Hua in their family. Despite he had seen the numerous genius of Jun family, none of them can match how Jun Hua fights on that battle.

Jun Saya looks at her daughter. From that moment on, she knows that she cannot keep her daughter under the wrap anymore. The talent that Jun Hua shows is what their family most needed. They need a leader who's really talented and powerful. Jun Hua fits all of that despite her small stature and her gender as girl.

"The heaven is fair, Saya… you're blessed with such a good child."

Jun Saya doesn't know is it blesses or curse. The little girl has both a good face and talent, but she's born as a girl. The journey will be an arduous one for her.

"Grandfather, if she can bring our Jun family on rise, then you need to groom her," Jun Saya made her resolution. Despite how hard her heart pained, she will let her daughter go and let her grow. Probably the heavens did answer their pray, in the form of this little girl. Even if the chance is slim, she will take it and bet her everything on this one last chance.
