Chapter 303: Settling Down

303 Settling Down

After talking in the hall, the four of them met again in the dining room. Only after getting the servants out did Yan started to berate Ming Hui.

"Why don't you tell me about it beforehand? I'm almost shocked speechlessly by the proposal from Jun Hua!"

Ming Hui laughed, "You are not the only one who's surprised. I too don't know that she is going to ask for something like that. Now that your identity as Young Noble Han is out, I wonder how the reaction of people would be."

Yan slumped on his chair. He has worked hard all these years to build a good image for Young Noble Han. Now that the two of them were being associated together, he was sure that there wouldn't be any good image left for him. The little lass sure could make things go awry.

Although the position for merchants was usually low, it was a different case for Young Noble Han. He had worked hard to make a lot of connections here and there, making his position strong enough and gained people's respect by doing a lot of things.

"If they don't know about it, the support for you will decrease," Jun Hua said calmly, "If they want someone more powerful as the leader wouldn't they pick General Soujin rather than you."

Somehow Yan got the feeling that Jun Hua learned how to hit people from Soujin really well. The way she said it, despite it being true, made him couldn't retort at all. Indeed, compared to Soujin, his reputation was a mess. It could even be said that the previous Jun Hua was still better than him.

With them knowing that he was the Young Noble Han, they would hold more respect, and the previous bad rumors about him would disperse. Nevertheless, he didn't feel good up for the fact that Jun Hua realized it better than him.

"Your IQ is even lower than a girl," Soujin added a killing strike.

Yan turned to Ming Hui to ask for help. Ming Hui grinned. "Even a kid would know better than you."

Yup, he shouldn't have asked for their help. Now, he could only lament why he got cruel friends for striking him even harder with their words.

"By the way, Jun Hua, do you really hold that high of a position in the Mountain Kingdom?" Ming Hui shifted the conversation.

Jun Hua nodded. The empress had told her beforehand that she could act even without reporting it to her. Besides, as the Princess of Mountain Kingdom, she held the big position because the emperor gave it to her. Across the Mountain Kingdom, only the emperor and empress would have bigger power than her.

Not to mention that she didn't need to report to them when making any action. It has made her even freer to do many things. Although this battle was only partially reported, Jun Hua didn't bring all of her soldiers and only a small portion of them.

"It seemed you're doing well there," Yan commented.

"Next would be the coronation for Prince Yan, or you want to wait until everything is over?" Jun Hua grinned.

"Just wait, I don't want to go through that hassle twice," Yan immediately answered.

"Will you come with us to war?" Soujin asked Jun Hua.

Jun Hua nodded, "I have come this far, why should I back down now?"

"It's good, but it means there will some soldiers deployed to babysit you," Yan sighed.

Upon hearing Yan words, Jun Hua's face darkened. Why would a general need others to babysit her? She was not weak at all. If there was anyone stronger than her, the number would be limited to very few, and she rarely encountered them.

On the side Ming Hui sighed. If only Yan knew the true identity of Jun Hua, he would not say such careless words. But Jun Hua didn't seem to want the two of them to know yet. He wondered when she was going to let them know, but for now, let it be.

Walking to the side, Soujin took out a few unused chopsticks and placed them in front of Jun Hua. Seeing Jun Hua confused face, he pointed towards Yan, "You can beat him up for good. No one is going to stop you."

Yan's face paled, "You're not allowed to beat the emperor!"

Picking the chopsticks, Jun Hua smiled, "You're not the emperor yet. Since we are at the same rank, why should I worry?"

Normally, a prince and a princess would not be categorized to be at the same rank, but with Jun Hua position as the strategist of Mountain Kingdom, they could be said to be equal. Since it was so, there was no harm in Jun Hua beating Yan.

"What about your image?" Yan hurriedly retorted.

Ming Hui smiled, "Don't worry. We can just say that Yan is harassing the Princess. In that case, you're the one who's going to suffer."

"It's a good idea," Soujin added calmly.

Seeing the two of them were on Jun Hua side, Yan wanted to cry. He no longer remembered how many times the three of them already bullied him today. Seeing that Jun Hua was ready to throw the chopsticks to him, he hurriedly ran to the side. Unfortunately,.…

OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!

He turned towards Jun Hua, "Have your martial arts gone better? Your power is bigger than last time."

Jun Hua didn't answer. She did train, but she didn't do thing as harsh as in the past anymore. Training was important, but she could no longer train like a maniac anymore because her body could no longer catch up. As for getting stronger, she only put more power into her strike today.

Ming Hui shook his head. He was sure that Jun Hua didn't go all out. If she really did, Yan might not have any change to get up anymore. He sure was getting off lightly.

"Ming Hui, I need some medicine."

"You need to pay first. Even the treatment from before was not paid yet," Ming Hui crossed his arm.

"You money-grubber!" he yelled indignantly.

"Isn't that word describing you more?" Jun Hua tilted her head.

Seeing her innocent act, Yan wanted to vomit. Don't throw a knife then act innocent!

After enough bantering, they finally discussed about the matter in hand. Because Yan and Ming Hui were going to go to war, the one who would lead the change in the capital would be Nanglong Souka. He was unanimously picked by the three of them even without his agreement.
