126 Jun Hua Past Part One: The Rise of Jun Family
Jun Hua can\'t stay in that state for a long time which makes her soon lose her advantages against Jun Qing. Outside that state, she cannot be compared to Jun Qing anymore.
"You still need to learn much more, little girl."
Jun Hua glared at her uncle. "I will beat you someday."
Jun Qing laughed and brushed it off. He didn\'t think that the girl could do it in short time, though in fact she only needs 2 year to beat him. He turned towards Jun Zhenxian and Jun Saya who walked over.
"Hua\'er, what was that?" Jun Saya asked worriedly.
Jun Hua shakes her head. "Hua\'er doesn\'t know the name, but teacher said it\'s called the zone."
Jun Zhenxian nodded. He turns towards his children. "When people are in an unusual state where their concentration is completely towards one thing, there are times when they could enter this state. This state allows their concentration to peak and they could see everything in slow motion making them even faster than usual.
Normally, this state can only be reached naturally by people who have trained for a long time in certain field. But, Jun Hua, can you enter that state however you wish?"
Jun Hua nodded her little head. "But, I\'m always really hungry after that."
Jun Saya patted her head. "Then Mother will make you your favorite soup."
"Yay!"
Seeing the two of them get inside the house, Jun Zhenxian watched with heavy feeling. The child is only nine, should they involve her into this mess?
"Father, this is our only chance," Jun Qing had experienced it by himself just how terrifying the little girl power can be. It\'s not a normal strength from a kid.
"Yes, I know Qing\'er. But no matter what happens, we can\'t let the Lin family got the chance to have the kid back."
"Father, you mean…"
Jun Zhenxian looks towards the two girls. "I can\'t allow people to know that she\'s a girl. She will change her identity when she comes to the battlefield. Qing\'er, when the time comes, you have to protect her."
"Yes father."
That day sealed up Jun Hua fate as the little girl continues her practice in sword. They make a deal with her that she can only enter the battlefield when she manages to beat Jun Qing, even if it\'s only in that state.
Jun Saya always watched Jun Hua practices and accompanies the girl after the practice session. She will give her everything she needs and lends her ear to hear about her story. Jun Hua didn\'t tell her how hard it is, but rather she will soon beat her uncle.
"Hua\'er, no matter what you do, mother will support you."
Jun Hua smiled. "Yes, Hua\'er will make mother dream come true, Hua\'er will bring Jun family on rise again."
Jun Saya messed the girl hair. "When it\'s time, you have to think about yourself. Find your happiness, okay?"
"Yes!"
Jun Qing would always practice with Jun Hua, but on that fateful day, guest from Lan family come. She come to talk with Jun Saya in private and no one ever know the content of their conversation.
TAK!
"I beat you, Uncle," little Jun Hua has wooden sword thrust towards Jun Qing stomach. Despite her body is bathed with sweat from staying on that state for an extended period, she is still smiling.
Jun Qing sighed, the time has finally come. "You can come to the battlefield and enlist as soldier."
The ability to beat him who\'s already a commander is not an easy task, but the little girl manages to accomplish just that. She smiled happily because she will come closer to realize her dream.
PRANG!
The sudden sound makes Jun Hua turned her head to the home and sprinted there while yelling, "Mother!"
Jun Qing followed behind and saw a scene he can never forget. Jun Saya is crying with a messenger is standing in front of her with flustered expression.
"What did you do to my sister?" Jun Qing bellowed. He\'s really angry, what is happening?
The messenger looks back with terrified expression, "I didn\'t do anything."
"Sister?" Jun Qing stared at his sister and found out that she had stood up with difficulties. The girl eyes are red and she stares at that messenger with glare.
"You should go."
The messenger nodded and left. Jun Saya fainted not long after that. On her side, Jun Hua is calling her name continuously, but Jun Saya didn\'t respond. They hurriedly call doctor to check upon her, but the result makes them fall into despair.
"She had long been sick and there is not cure anymore at this point. She too no longer had any strength and will to live," the doctor said.
"What do you mean?" Jun Qing cannot accept it. Why is it the only sister he had had to go not long after he found her? He knows that her health is not that good, especially because she had indeed live poorly for a few years. But what kind of news would make his sister suddenly lost her strength to live? He doesn\'t want to lose her again.
Jun Saya was awake and she stared at Jun Qing with a faint smile. "Qing\'er it\'s alright. I know that I don\'t have long to live."
"But, sister."
"Qing\'er!" Jun Saya looks back. Her eyes are still the same, clear without any ripple yet there are no strength left in those eyes. Jun Qing knows that his sister had accepted her fate. He stays by the side silently as tear streamed out.
"Mother, are you okay?" Jun Hua asked worriedly.
"Hua\'er, mother need to go to a faraway place. A place you cannot follow now," Jun Saya stroked the girl head.
"But, Hua\'er wants to be with mother."
"Someday, you can follow after me. But Mother wants you to fulfill your dreams first."
Jun Hua looks at her mother eyes as she nodded. "Yes, Hua\'er will become a good general and build the Jun family rise again. After that, Hua\'er will find my happiness."
"Yes, be happy my child."
Jun Saya smiled sweetly as she passed away. Jun Hua stayed there for another hour before looking towards Jun Qing. Unlike her uncle, the little girl eyes are burning with fire of determination.
"Uncle, I will go to the battlefield."
