Nanglong Keita face turned pale when he heard that voice. The little boy turned his head around and grinned. "Nothing, Big Brother Soujin."

Soujin glared at the boy before turning his gaze towards the girl in front of him. He has seen her once before, at the emperor birthday party. At that time, he didn't pay any attention to her, but he still recognizes her easily.

Looking at that pair of clear eyes makes Soujin remember Jun Min. He feels that it's impossible because both of them don't have any blood relation and there should be no way they could have similar features. But looking at the girl from close distance makes him aware that they're truly similar.

"Jun Hua, right? What are you doing here?" Soujin asks calmly.

Jun Hua truly wanted to go as far as possible from that man probing eyes. She feels that his question is strange. Why does she need any reason to be here? This is part of the academy and not his property.

"I'm spending my break time to walk around the academy," Jun Hua chooses to answer with soft voice. She wants to go, but she needs a good reason for that.

Nanglong Keita raised his head. "Your voice is prettier if you speak in such a soft tone. Why..."

Nanglong Soujin hits the boy head. "Watch your mouth, Keita. "

Jun Hua cannot bear to stay here any longer. "Keita, since your cousin has arrived, I will return first. Please excuse me General Soujin."

Nanglong Soujin didn't bother with Jun Hua as his intention to come here is to find his cousin but Keita cannot accept seeing Jun Hua go so quickly.

"Sister Hua, can I visit you to play?"

Jun Hua steps stopped for a while. "Keita, you have your own brother to play with. Beside, you still have your own training."

"Aww... fine then," Nanglong Keita waved his hand reluctantly as Jun Hua disappears from his vision.

"Little brat, why are you telling her your story?"

Nanglong Keita grinned. "She's pretty."

"Good, your training will increase from tomorrow."

"You're truly a devil! Father told me that my workload is already a lot."


Jun Hua ignored the two conversations as she walks away. Her heart still worried. Had Soujin noticed anything amiss from her? She only talks a few sentences to him and didn't talk too much. Jun Hua stopped beside a window and looks towards the glass.

"I completely forgot..."

Jun Hua had just remembered that their faces are similar. She makes her face mask similar since she doesn't want the trouble to change her feature too much because it took her too much time. The backside is Jun Hua and Jun Min face become highly similar.

People only know that Jun Min is an adopted boy without any connection to the Jun family. The two of them should have a highly different features, but Jun Hua carelessly makes them too similar. If one didn't pay close attention, they wouldn't notice. Unfortunately, the one who see her face is Nanglong Soujin who's highly proficient in martial arts. He must have noticed that their face is similar.

Jun Hua sighed. There's no way she could change her face so quickly again. She could only hope that Nanglong Soujin won't talk to her about it when they meet again.

After thinking about it for a while, she chooses to return to the class. Fan Lanying had returned earlier and she looks relieved when she sees Jun Hua.

"Where did you go? I'm worried when I cannot found you. I thought those girls have done something to you."

Jun Hua smiled bitterly. They won't do anything to her because all they want is to fawn after her. Jun Hua hoped that they would give up early but considering they're going to see Jun Min again, she knows that they won't stop so easily.

"I'm just lost. I haven't memorized the area around school," Jun Hua gives her excuse.

"Oh right, this is only your second week. Don't worry, you will soon get used to the school. There aren't many ways you can pass with."

"Thank you."

Jun Hua and Fan Lanying continue their lesson in peaceful. The girls are no longer trying to get close with Jun Hua during lessons time. At home after school, Lin San would come and helps her practice embroidery.

During their talk, Lin San would often inquire about Jun Min and Jun Hua merely gives her some vague answers. Right now, she truly wishes for some peace as she almost cannot have any time for herself.

Luckily the trend soon died out and most of the girls no longer try to get close with Jun Hua. Only a handful of them are still trying to get close to her including her two half-sisters at the residence. When it's finally Thursday, Yamin returned to her place.

Jun Hua is staying at her room learning embroidery. The training she got this few days proved to be useful and she could already make the better one than before. She only stopped when she notices that Yamin has come.

"You can appear, Yamin. Is there any news?" Jun Hua raised her head.

Yamin nodded. "There are some disturbances on the border, your uncle ask us to keep on staying there until the situation got better."

Jun Hua knows that there's no way her uncle would asks for herself to come. So he only asks for them. Jun Hua can comply but only after she finished some of her plans here.

"For tomorrow, you still disguised yourself as me."

"Yes Miss."
