217 Returning Back

When Lin San opened her eyes, she was inside a carriage with Ming Xiao sitting before her. Hearing the movement from Lin San, he smiled at her.

"How are you feeling?"

"Dizzy," Lin San answered. "What happened?"

Ming Xiao narrated the situation from before fully, how the force of Mountain Kingdom came and the fact that their military strategist ordered them to rescue the three of them. Despite they came a bit late, they still came in the end. No, they were not late since they came right at the time when they needed it the most.

"Jun Hua is here?" Lin San eyes brightened. She had been hoping for her to come, but she never has much hope first. Now that she heard the other party was here, she was hoping to see her.

Ming Xiao nodded. "She is outside. When we stop later, you can meet her."

Lin San nodded obediently. She took the seat near Ming Xiao and leaned her head to the other party shoulder. Ming Xiao body tensed up, but he relaxed once again after a few seconds. He looked towards Lin San from the corner of his eyes, feeling relieved that she was fine.

The two of them stayed like that for a while until the carriage stopped.

"Your wound is deep, and it might take some time to recover, so you're not allowed to do anything excessive from now," Ming Xiao warned.

Lin San nodded. "I won't do anything dangerous."

Coming out from the carriage, she quickly spotted the little girl who was standing on the grass. She was looking around calmly, but that figure of hers was really enchanting. Even Lin San cannot say that she didn't feel anything when looking at that beautiful view.

She has heard that Jun Hua was beautiful behind her veil. Although she still wore it, she could faintly see the other party complexion. With the sun set behind the other party, the view was incomparably beautiful.

"Second Sister," Jun Hua smiled when she saw the other party seemed to be stunned. "Have you recovered?"

"I'm still a bit dizzy, but most of all, I'm fine," Lin San quickly snapped back to reality. She answered with a smile. "Thank you for treating my wound."

"They are mostly first aid. We didn't bring any doctor with us, so I can only do some treatment," Jun Hua answered amiably. Lin San has truly grown and even Jun Hua can no longer sense the same arrogance in her voice. It seemed the rough time as the princess had further toughened her mental state. In any case, it was good for her.

Lin San nodded. "It's fine. You're surprisingly talented, Third Sister."

"Thanks to our father," Jun Hua answered. Her voice was indifferent, but Lin San can detect the animosity she had towards their father. She didn't blame her for she had seen how poor that man from the Lin family was.

"Right, do you know where my brother is? They wouldn't tell me no matter how much I asked," Lin San inquired. Lin Hong was her brother whom she cared for. For a long time, she hadn't got the chance to meet him and didn't even know where he was. She missed him.

Jun Hua nodded. "I know, but you cannot meet him now. The quickest is when you reach 16."

"I see, thank you for sparing him."

From Ming Xiao, she had heard that Jun Min let her brother's punishment change from execution. They sent him to some place that he also didn't know. His brother might be suffering right now, but just like her, he should have grown.

Jun Hua remembered that boy. Because of him, she promised to not touch Lin San personally and deal any blow. Now that some time had passed, it seemed her decision before was correct. Lin San was no longer that arrogant young girl, but a mature girl.

"You're welcome. The force from Nanglong family would soon reach this place. It will be better if we stay here to wait for them."

"Right, before I forget, please give our thanks to the military strategist of Mountain Kingdom."

Lin San had heard from Ming Xiao that the forces from Mountain Kingdom came because of the order from the military strategist of Mountain Kingdom. She wanted to give the person her sincere thanks for the effort of saving them.

Jun Hua was stunned before laughing. "You're welcome."

"Ah?"

With a smile plastered on her face, Jun Hua added. "You can count on me. I'm the military strategist of Mountain Kingdom."

Lin San cannot wake up from her surprise even when the people from Nanglong family came. Lou was leading with Ming Hui on the side. They have been pacing their horse and suddenly meet with this group.

"Princess Strategist Hua," Lou greeted, unsure how he should call the lady before him.

Jun Hua nodded. "Just call me princess. My identity as the strategist of Mountain Kingdom is still being enclosed from the world."

"Yes Princess."

Ming Hui hurriedly climbed down and looked towards Ming Xiao. "Your wound is quite heavy. Let me take at look first."

"Please check Lin San first."

Ming Hui studied Ming Xiao face for a while before a smile broke out from the corner of his lips. "Sure."

Ming Xiao knew from Ming Hui expression that the latter had known about his feeling, but he didn't pay any attention to that. Taking the dazed Lin San to the tent, Ming Hui started to check their wounds.

Jun Hua looked towards Lou. "How is General Soujin?"

With Jun Hua position, Lou knew that there was no way she asked with things related to war. What she wanted to know must be things related to his personal condition. But, Lou himself was not sure about Soujin condition since that general looked relatively fine.

"He looked fine."

Jun Hua accepted that answer. She looked towards the direction of Nanglong family location. A sad smile formed on her lips, but Lou cannot see it because of the veil. It lasted for a second before she turned to face the man back.

"I will need to trouble you to send them back. I need to return."

Lou didn't hold Jun Hua any longer and focused to take Ming Xiao to Nanglong family territory per Soujin order.
