Path of the Lilies

94. Sworn Sisters

Taking the wooden sword, Ye Jiao swung it a few times to grasp the feeling. She had been using curved bones as her weapon for the past few months to the point that she felt comfortable using it rather than a normal weapon. Of course, she would have to pick a different weapon later.

"Let's start."

Ye Jiao purposely didn't circulate her Eon Energy and made sure that she only used physical power as she withstood Mu Xin's attack. Despite saying that she had held back, Mu Xin's blow was still as powerful as ever.

From the side, Wang Jun watched the two of them calmly. If there was anything wrong, he would step in, but he found out that Ye Jiao was relatively fine under the barrage of attack that Mu Xin gave.

Tak! Tak! Tak!

Time passed swiftly as the two of them exchanged blows by blows. They didn't seem to be willing to stop even though it was already the time for dinner.

"Mu Xin, Ye Jiao, you two should stop training," Mu Hong stood on the door with his arm crossed. He knew that his daughter loved to train, but she shouldn't neglect her food because it was important.

"Yes, Father," By now, Mu Xin has managed to restrain her feelings and returned back to the aloof young woman. Her polite speech also has returned as she stopped her attack obediently.

At the same time, Ye Jiao also put down her sword. "I understand, General Mu."

"Let's go eat."

They headed to the dining room and ate together. Wang Jun also joined in the same table as he sat down beside Mu Xin.

"Miss Mu, I think that it's already enough?" Wang Jun looked at his plate, which Mu Xin filled with plenty of food, as if he wanted to cry. There were salted fish, pieces of roasted meat, fresh vegetables, and many others stacked together.

Mu Xin used her chopstick to pick up a piece of tofu. "You're going in a journey, so you have to eat a lot."

"Miss, I'm afraid that I can't..."

Seeing Mu Xin glared at him from the corner of her eyes, Wang Jun gave up and ate his food quietly. He quite liked the attention she gave ever since she found out that he would leave, but it felt a bit too much at times.

Ye Jiao held back her laughter as she stuffed her mouth with the food. Seeing the two of them quarreled like that, she felt that it was really funny.

Time passed slowly as they enjoyed their dinner time.

"Father, I'll sleep in the same room with Ye Jiao today," Mu Xin declared before pulling Ye Jiao to her room.

Mu Hong sighed to himself. He didn't really have much qualm if the two of them wanted to sleep in the same room because he knew that it was quite common. As a soldier, he had to sleep in the barrack and in that place, there were several people.

As long as they didn't share the bed, he didn't mind.

"They're quite close to one another," Sheng Ming commented.

Mu Hong nodded. "I don't know if it's a mistake to bring the two of them together in the past. I feel that I'm the one who dragged the two of them."

Sheng Ming shrugged. He picked up a chicken drumstick with his hand and bit it. "I don't think it's wrong for them to be close with one another. They're still young and it's normal to have close friends."

"They remind me of our friendship when we're still young," Mu Hong rubbed his forehead.

"Well, we'll spar with one another without caring for the time, creating mischief after mischief..." Sheng Ming started to recount everything that they did in the past. Compared to Mu Xin and Ye Jiao, the two of them created much more trouble and earned a lot of scolding in the past.
