Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

352 Journey

That answer made the temperature in the room dropped several degrees. On the side of Soujin, Yan hoped painfully that Soujin wouldn't lash out because of anger. He would never expect the name of Ye Jiu's fiancée was the same as Soujin's wife.

On the other hand, Jun Hua regained her composure rather quickly. She looked towards Shu suspiciously, "Jun? Do you mean that there is someone with the surname of Jun in the tribe?"

Shu looked at Jun Hua with a strange expression as he answered, "The tribe leader surname is Jun."

Jun Zhenxian gaped on the news. Even someone as old as him didn't know anything about this. From what he knew, the Jun family has long established themselves on the Ming Kingdom and lived there. How come they suddenly appeared on that mysterious tribe?

Jun Hua frowned. This coincidence was too much, not to mention that the name of the deceased princess was the same with her. She felt rather uneasy about this matter.

"What is the tribe name?"

"The people from the Pan Kingdom named them as Mysterious Tribe, but they themselves named their own tribe as Jun Tribe," this was the point that made Shu stumped. Did the Jun surname here have any relation with the Jun family from the Ming Kingdom? From what he knew, there was only Jun Family in Ming Kingdom.

Jun Hua's mouth twitched when she heard the name. This was truly troublesome. If they truly have a connection, one of them might step up to create relationship, but if their relationship was bad, she would only court disaster. She looked towards her grandfather on the side.

"Grandpa, do you know anything about this?"

Jun Zhenxian shook his head. Even if they have any relation, it might be something from years ago. He didn't know anything about it as he was not from the main branch and only moved because of the disaster in Jun Family.

"Maybe they don't have any connection with you," Yan said to ease the atmosphere. He felt that the person beside him was ready to explode at any time, so he felt the need to speak up.

"It might be true, but we need more investigation before we can be sure," Jun Zhenxian agreed.

Shu laughed bitterly inside his heart. The investigation for months only resulted in this small achievement. No matter how many times he wanted to dig deeper, they were already almost in constant danger. Even Yasha said that the tribe was really strange.

Soujin tapped the chair. His complexion was rather dark. "We will go there to search about. With your surname, you might be able to get inside."

Jun Hua nodded her head. She too rather was curious about the place. If they truly have some connection with the place, she might be able to find out more about her family, but if it was only a coincidence, then she just wanted to find Ye Jiu. That man was still hiding there after all.

After they had decided, Shu finished the report by telling the condition of the areas and the culture in that place. No matter what, they didn't want to court death by coming there unprepared. Learning about them beforehand was the right decision to make.

As for Ye Jiu, they didn't manage to find out much since they couldn't go too deep into the place. All they know was Ye Jiu had a rather good relationship with the Jun Family there and he hid with them while at the same time preparing to attack the Long Kingdom.

When Ming Hui heard the news, he didn't know whether he wanted to laugh or cry. Hearing your rival had a fiancée with the same name as your wife would surely make him not feeling good.

"If I'm Soujin, I will surely have the urge to beat up that Ye Jiu even more," Ming Hui sighed.

Fan Lanying looked towards Jun Hua, "Hopefully he will not target you just because you had the same name. Things might get complicated like that."

"…"

Jun Hua has the feeling that they start to tease her even more after hearing that news. There was simply nothing she could do but endure until they depart to the place. The journey was rather smooth, but they become more cautious when they arrive at the Jun Tribe areas.

The place was a big forest filled with mist. This place was located at the north of the previous Pan Kingdom and located rather secluded. The north of this area was sea or a big lake as they were not entirely sure. As for the west, it was the big river.

"The field of vision here is limited," for them who usually relied on their eyes a lot, they couldn't adapt to the situation that well. With the fog at almost every area, they couldn't see more than two meters in front of them.

"I can't even sense the other people around me," Fan Lanying protested. Among them, she, Yan and Ming Hui were the only three who had the lowest martial art. Although she was the commander of an army, her own personal skill was only slightly better than Yan and Ming Hui.

Jun Hua narrowed her eyes. With her keen sense, she knew that the fog was hindering their sense rather a lot. The deeper they went, the thicker the fog would be. She looked around the area to find some places and her eyes stopped at one direction.

"What is it?" Jun Zhenxian noticed his granddaughter movement stopped.

Jun Hua looked towards Soujin. Soujin nodded his head, "There is a movement of people near us. Probably, there is a village near here."

"Should we pay a visit?" Ming Hui suggested.

There were several small villages on their way here when the fog was still rather thin, but they didn't pay any visit because Yasha had told them that the people were not too welcoming. When Yasha and the others were trying to find the necessary information, they have to spend a long time just to get it. As for the deeper area, they can't get in because of the fog.

Jun Zhenxian looked towards the area Jun Hua said, "I can't sense them."

"I think only the two of them can do it," Yan said in slightly joking tone. His argument was not without basis since the two of them were the best generals in the Long Kingdom, in extension, the best martial artists in the Long Kingdom.

"Let's try going there. Probably we will see something more over there."

Moving to the new direction, they walked to the side. Inside the shadow, Shu, Yasha, Yamin, and Lou felt rather useless. When Jun Hua and Soujin said that there was a village near them, they nearly couldn't sense anything. Have their level dropped down?

The village was small and the fog was still quite thick, but they could see clearer near the village. Jun Hua's eyes locked unto the mark on the door as her face paled considerably.

"What is it, Hua'er?" Soujin noticed Jun Hua's facial expression as he asked worriedly.

"It's nothing," Jun Hua shook her head as she peered at the mark with the corner of her eyes. After not seeing it for months, she found it again. She thought that cave was the last one, but it seemed she was wrong. The supernatural things in this world were not only limited to the zone she had previously learned, but there were also more.

Her heart tightened when she thought the possibility of the ability Ye Jiu had as the result of some strange thing like what she learned. If it was true, they would face a rather formidable opponent.

"Shall we get inside?" Ming Hui pointed to the gate near them.

The other nodded as Ming Hui knocked on the gate and waited.
