234 Recuperating

Jun Zhenxian felt that the shameless gene from Nanglong Souka must have been passed to the young man before him. If he wanted to say something so…ehm… he should have told it to her and didn't say that in front of an old bone like him.

The young man was indeed really bold. He calmed himself down as he stared at his granddaughter.

"If you broke your promise, I will personally send you to hell."

Soujin nodded, still looked serious. He waited in the room for hours, waiting for Jun Hua to wake up. Jun Zhenxian also needed to rest, so he left it to Soujin for taking care of the girl. That was of course, with a warning beforehand.

"Don't you dare to touch her, young man!"

Soujin do as Jun Zhenxian told him. He had never touched her before, at least from what he remembered *cough* and he would definitely not touch her when she was sick like this.

Sitting beside her bed, he waited for the girl to wake up. She was sleeping for a long time. Inside, he was incredibly anxious to have her wake up. The doctor told him that she was fine, but he still cannot keep his calm.

He didn't know how long it is when the girl finally opened her eyes.

Jun Hua felt really tired and her stomach is really painful. Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, she tilted her head a bit and saw the face of a handsome young man.

Remembering what she saw before she fell asleep, she looked at Soujin suspiciously. Since when had he stayed here? Did he wait for her to wake up all this time? Also, how come he was in Yuan Kingdom when he was supposedly in the northeast part of Ming Kingdom?

Soujin noticed that Jun Hua had woken up. He smiled at her and passed a glass of water to her. "Here, drink some water."

Jun Hua slowly got up and Soujin was itching to help her, but he had promised that old man that he wouldn't touch her, so he didn't move.

"What is it?" Jun Hua noticed that Soujin seemed strange.

"I was thinking if you need some help to sit," Soujin answered truthfully.

"…"

Jun Hua felt that whenever she was not in good condition, it will be seen as something beyond help by this man. Previously, he thought that she couldn't even walk; now he thought that she couldn't even sit? Not to mention that previously, she was still dressed as a man. Just how weak her body in his view was?

Seeing Jun Hua dark face, Soujin didn't know what he said wrong.

"So, do you need help?"

Jun Hua shook her head as she took the glass from Soujin. The water felt really good for her throat. The cool sensation made her felt better.

"I will bring food here."

The girl didn't refuse, and Soujin hurriedly walked outside before returning with a tray.

"Can you eat?"

"…" Jun Hua felt defeated. "Pass me the bowl."

He passed the bowl to her, and Jun Hua ate calmly. However, Soujin kept staring at her which made her felt uncomfortable.

"Is there anything you need?"

"No, nothing," Soujin answered. "How is your wound?"

"It's still hurt, but I will be alright," Jun Hua answered. Getting hurt was common when learning martial arts. She didn't feel anything bad from it.

"Where is my grandfather?"

"He is resting because of his wound."

Jun Hua remembered that Lan Pan had cut off her grandfather arm with his strike. She felt extremely enraged whenever she thought about it.

Even if she wanted to change the fact, she can't.

"Oh, right. What are you doing in Yuan Kingdom?"

"I want to know the reason behind the loss of Ming Kingdom during the battle and to find out the real relationship between Prince Tang Xuan and the emperor."

Soujin answered truthfully. Judging by how the two of them appeared here, he knew that the two of them also didn't sightsee. During the time of war, who would have time for looking around in other kingdoms? He guessed that the two of them also come because of the same reason.

Jun Hua smiled hearing Soujin answer. The two of them indeed came here for the same reason. Because of the difference in distance, she arrived earlier than him and found out the truth faster.

"Prince Tang Xuan is not the emperor son," Jun Hua answered.

Soujin lifted his eyebrows. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"It is fine," Jun Hua smiled. She told him most of what she knew about the prince. The only thing that she didn't tell was the agreement between the emperor and Jun family. Those were not something that she could tell other people easily.

Soujin listened attentively. The truth was different than what he guessed at first. He nodded at her after she had finished.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," Jun Hua smiled.

Soujin raised his hand, but stopped midway. He wanted to rub the girl head, but chose to against it in the end.

"Rest first. You're still wounded."

"Okay," Jun Hua laid down obediently. She did feel her body hurt and it was better to sleep. At least, when she was sleeping, she wouldn't feel the pain on her body.

Soujin stayed by the girl side until she was sleeping. Fixing her blanket, he gazed at the girl for a moment. After that, he chose to walk out of the room carefully to not disturb the girl.
