Blood Flower 2 | Jenlisa Adaptation

Chapter 208

Jennie rubbed her forehead at the thought of her grandfather ditching the work again.

The old man could sneak away, but she knew that her grandfather wouldn't do it if he didn't have anyone with him.

General Tou could barely hold himself back to not challenge this old man into fighting.

He truly wished to beat this troublemaker and shameless old man to a pulp, if it was possible.

He opened the door, and the two people inside saw his dark expression.

Chan grinned. "You shouldn't eavesdrop. It's bad for an old man like you to have such a habit."

"You're the one who has bad habits!" General Tou yelled.

Why did he want to eavesdrop?

If not because he heard this old man complaining to Jennie, he would not hesitate to come in.

Who would have thought that the old man wanted to say something so outrageous?

Chan smiled. "I don't have bad habits. This is just how I am."

Grandpa has become even more shameless. Jennie thought in her mind.

Probably because the environment here was quite nice, this old man developed his best skills to the fullest. Of course, his best skill was being shameless.

"There are a lot of works you have to do," General Tou held himself.

"The reward you prepared for me is not enough. I want more," Chan demanded.

Hearing that demand, General Tou's face blackened.

He has already sent over a lot of money to this old man and gave the other party men a territory within the Mountain Kingdom. Now he wanted more?

"Just ignore my grandpa's request," Jennie waved her hand. "He's just too tired from working."

"Who says that I'm tired? This old bone is still healthy!"

"..." If you're healthy, then you should be fine doing more work.

General Tou felt like he would just shorten his already limited lifespan if he continued to pester this old man about this matter.

He strode forward and sat down on the chair near the two of them.

"Where did you and Irene go this morning?"

The only matter that he would be concerned the most was about Irene. Jennie's lips curled up when she heard that question. "I just took a stroll to the mountain. You don't have to worry so much."

General Tou knew that Irene would be safe with Jennie. However, he can't help feeling rather worried that something will happen to the girl.

Even if she was already married to Seulgi, she was still a little girl in his eyes.

"That girl can do well without you watching her," Chan added. "Even I let my granddaughter roam all over the area without watching her. You worry too much."

That's obviously because you can't watch her!

General Tou truly wished for nothing more than to beat this old man.

It was just the day before that the old man was worrying over the matter that his granddaughter left to meet with her former teacher.

He kept on pacing here and there just because he felt worried.

"And who's the one who keeps on bothering me to find his granddaughter just because he feels worried?"

"Who knows? Not me."

Jennie quickly waved her hand to stop the conversation.

If these two old men were to clash again, this room might not end unscathed.

There were too many important papers in this room, so she didn't want to see them get destroyed just because of her grandfather's antics.

"General Tou, I have compiled a special training for the more talented soldiers," Jennie cut the conversation. "I want you to supervise them."

General Tou forced his raging feelings down and took the paper from Jennie.

Inside the paper was a detailed training list for his soldiers. His eyes stared at them blankly.

Was it even possible to do them all? They were just too much.

"Are you sure you want them to train this hard? The number of soldiers guarding this kingdom would decrease as a result."

"Don't worry, I have my men to cover for the time being," Jennie had dispatched the X Empire to sweep the kingdom.

Besides, before the war reached this area, there was nothing she needed to worry about.

"What if the war reaches here?"

"I have prepared a gift for them, and I will personally deliver it to them."

Chan sat straight immediately. "Are you saying that you're going to go to the border again? You're just a 15-year-old girl! Just stay here and let us the old bones do the work now."

"..." Didn't you just say that you are not worried about your granddaughter?

While General Tou felt the urge to challenge this old man, Jennie shook her head. "No, I won't be going anywhere for the time being. But if there's news about an attack against the Mountain Kingdom, I will go."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go to the battlefield anymore?" Chan asked suspiciously.

Jennie scratched her head with an awkward smile. She did say that she wouldn't participate in the war anymore, but she didn't mention anything about her supervising them.

"I won't barge with a sword into the battle. I promise that," Jennie answered.

Chan looked towards Jennie suspiciously. "You should take care of your body better. You often overtrain yourself," he remarked.

"Don't worry. I'm not fighting that often anymore," Jennie answered reassuringly.

"But you still do."

"I need to."

If she could, it was not like she didn't want to stop fighting, but the war was not over yet.

There would surely come a time when she needed to hold the sword again. She wished that time wouldn't come, so she could bury her second identity forever.

However, she doubted that things would always go her way. Many things might happen in the future.

Chan looked towards his granddaughter. "I wish you could just be like Irene."

"I don't want to be another Irene," General Tou interjected.

If there was another princess like Irene, he felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night due to worry.

"It's better if she's like Irene. She could just abandon her work and play with me every day. Isn't it fun?"

General Tou and Jennie: "..."

"It's time to work again, let's go, General Chan," General Tou half dragged the old man to work again.

Jennie watched the two of them amusedly. Even at times like this, her grandfather kept on being shameless, or it might be because of times like this, he tried to make the atmosphere lighter.

Jennie shook her head to not think about it anymore.

She needed to focus on her work before preparing for battle when there was one kingdom that came knocking on their door.
