Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

10 A Promise

'Surprised' was a clear understatement from the way Jun Hua felt at that moment. She had once heard that among the four imperial sons, the third prince, Prince Yan was the most useless one since all he did was look for women. He often stirred up trouble too and quite a lot of people were saying that he was just a good-for-nothing. But now, she just found out that the owner of the most expensive restaurant in the capital turned out to be him!

Jun Hua stared at Yan's face for a few seconds before pulling herself back to reality. This prince... he truly didn't know why he had chosen to hide deeply, but it was not his business to ask. Jun Hua nodded at Yan question.

"Prince Yan is indeed a hidden dragon."

Yan laughed. "Just call me Yan. I detest hearing my friends call me a prince."

Jun Hua could only comply with his request. She was still taken aback with the fact that Yan was actually willing to tell such a huge secret to him. They have just met for the first time, but he already told her such a big secret? Was there any motive behind this?

Yan turned to Soujin. "You still have to pay here. I didn't build this restaurant without money."

"Reduce two of the zero on the end."

"You… fine!"

Jun Hua nudged Soujin. "You should have chosen a different restaurant."

"Don't worry, even if I don't pay, Yan won't suffer any loss."

"It's not that, but didn't you promise to treat me?"

Yan almost choked for the second time today. The unexpected meeting with Jun Min had already surprised him as much, and now he just found out that his friend promised to treat a man. Had his friend's path deviated?

Yan wanted to ask, but seeing the murderous gaze Soujin gave him, he swallowed that thought. If he dared to utter it, he was sure he won't be able to get out of bed for a whole week!

"I lost a bet with this boy," Soujin uttered out slowly. "Since he's too young for drinking, I decided to change the bet into a meal."

"I see."

Yan nodded in understanding, but the next second he burst out laughing. Soujin completely ignored his best friend while Jun Hua stared in bewilderment. Why was he suddenly laughing? Was there anything wrong with what Soujin told him?

"Soujin... actually lose... in a bet... Wahaha... I can't believe it... You finally found your match."

Soujin's face darkened a little, "Yan, meet me at the training hall in an hour."

"Wait... wahaha... I can't stop laughing… Don't beat me up... hahaha."

Jun Hua was utterly speechless with their banters. From Yan's reaction, it seemed Soujin had never lost in a bet before. How could he have done it? Even she was not as certain that she could always win, since this time she only managed to find some loopholes.

Soujin hammered his hand on the table and only after that did Yan stopped laughing.

Luckily, the food arrived and they started to eat. Soujin only ate little, while Jun Hua and Yan cleaned up the rest of the food. This was the first time Jun Hua tasted such great food. With her rarely stayed at home and the quality of her food could not be compared with this one, she felt like this was honestly a big treat for her.

"How's it?"

"It's really good. Thank you Soujin."

Soujin nodded. "Let's take a walk across the street, and then I want to have a duel with you."

"Okay then," Jun Hua agreed. She was skeptical about Soujin's fighting ability, but she knew that his ability must be better than hers. With such an offer to train herself, there was no reason why she should pass the opportunity?

"What about you Yan?"

"I'm not going."

Yan stayed on his seat as he watched the two of them disappear from his sight. The moment they disappeared, he turned serious.

"Shu, have you finished researching about Jun Min? What do you think about him?"

A man appeared in front of Yan. "Replying to Young Master, General Min is a highly talented general. He has just reached the age of fourteen, yet his fighting prowess and strategies are exceptional. According to his battle records, he is similar with Young Master Soujin, there's no battle where he loses."

Yan nodded. He had the same view when he heard about the extraordinary feat that Jun Min had done in the test. After meeting with the boy today, he felt that his character was good and it won't be a bad idea to befriend him. The only problem was there must be a lot of enemies.

"He's quite interesting. I really wanted to meet with him again."

The duel between Soujin and Jun Hua didn't last long. Jun Hua could not compare to Soujin in terms of pure martial arts and power. Many times she almost got hit critically by the training sword. In the end, she still got hit and forced to end the duel.

"You're really just a kid. Your power is still lacking, but your skill is not that bad," Soujin said. He was a bit surprised because Jun Min could last fighting him for so long. Although the boy was quite battered up, at least he could withstand a few of his blows.

Jun Hua stared at Soujin. "One day, I will beat you up."

"Sure, I will wait for that," Soujin agreed candidly. "Do you want to have another duel?"

"When?"

"Every Saturday afternoon."

Jun Hua thought about it for a moment. Starting this Monday, she needed to go to school from Monday to Friday as Jun Hua. She didn't really have anything planned to do on Saturdays, so he agreed, "Sure then."

After making plans to meet up the following week, the two of them parted their ways.

Jun Hua hurriedly returned home because she was sure that her grandfather was worried about her. As she expected, her grandfather was already waiting for her.

"So, tell me what exactly happened."

Jun Hua explained briefly about the bet she made with Soujin. Jun Zhenxian almost broke out in laughter because the content was the same with what he and Nanglong Souka made. He only turned seriously when he heard about the plans Jun Hua made with Soujin.

"You... be careful."

Jun Hua nodded. "How's the preparation? Have they accepted?"

"Yes, just be careful on the school and learn anything you wanted to learn."

Jun Hua smiled. Of course, she would properly learn, and in the process, stir up some troubles.
