363 Head of Jun Tribe

Inside the small room, Jun Hua was lying down within Soujin\'s embrace as she read a book. The sun has set, but she hadn\'t got any intention to sleep yet while Soujin chose to accompany her in her way of amusing herself.

"Hua\'er, will you really do that?"

Jun Hua was startled, but she knew what Soujin meant. From her conversation with Ye Jiu, she had said that if she didn\'t have any other choice, she would willingly sacrifice herself for those she cared about.

"Giving my life in order for you to see the future? No, I won\'t do that," Jun Hua is not stupid. If by knowing how the future unfold can make Soujin life easier, she was too na?ve. Even if he were to know, he would need the power and time to prepare himself. Ye Jiu already has the two of them, but he didn\'t use them well.

However, she too knew that Ye Jiu\'s fiancée (she doesn\'t want to say her name) had seen her own death before Ye Jiu\'s. That was what led her to use her own life as the trade in order to give Ye Jiu the chance to escape that fate.

"Then, what are you going to do?" Soujin asked.

"I will stand by your side and change that fate with my own hand," Jun Hua said firmly, her eyes full of determination.

Soujin was startled by the confidence Jun Hua suddenly showed. His mouth curved into a smile. Indeed, why should they concede to fate? The future was still unsure, and they would carve their own ways without using the prediction. After all, the one she saw was only probability.

The way this girl thought was really similar to him. Probably, that was one of the reasons he got attracted to her. He started to caress her hair as he nodded.

"Have you finished reading?"

The book Jun Hua read was a novel she found in this place. Because of curiosity, she asked them to let her read the book. However, the imagination of the author in this area was incredibly pitiful when she compared it to the one in the Long Kingdom, making her eyes burn from reading the book.

Jun Hua put the book away and nodded her head. Without saying anything, Soujin pulled the blanket up and wrapped the two of them inside it before falling into sleep.

The next day, Lou and Shu prepared carriages for them to head into the palace.

"Are you sure that you want to meet with the head of Jun Tribe now?" Yan arched his eyebrow and asked in questioning tone.

Soujin nodded his head as he held Jun Hua\'s hand. "There are some things I need to talk with him. One of them is regarding the border."

The Jun Tribe was in animosity with the Pan Kingdom for a long time. They only quiet down these past few years because of Ye Jiu. Now that Yan became the emperor of Long Kingdom, this would be one of the borders. If they couldn\'t reach an agreement, Soujin would be forced to head into another war and probably left his home.

Fan Lanying clenched her fist, "If they are not going to listen, I will be the one who leads the soldiers to this place."

Ming Hui wore helpless expression as he stared at his wife. If she were to stay in the border, he would need to buy a residence here in order to live with her. After all, staying on the border would require her a long time before she could return to the city. Ming Hui would surely be unable to bear parting with her for that long of time.

"The one leading the soldier must at the very least reach the rank of general," Jun Hua\'s word deterred Fan Lanying\'s intention of guarding the post.

Fan Lanying pouted, "Can\'t you do something about it?"

Jun Hua shook her head, "There is no way you could guard the post only with 2000 soldiers, especially with the strong opponent."

"If I reach the general rank, would you let me guard the border?"

"…Didn\'t you say that you would settle down once you reach the general rank?" Ming Hui immediately cut their conversation.

Fan Lanying looked towards Ming Hui, "I don\'t need to settle down the moment I reach the general rank, right?"

With that, Ming Hui argued back and Fan Lanying retorted back. Jun Hua shifted her gaze to Soujin with questions all over her face. Was there something she missed?

Soujin pulled her into the carriage and head towards the palace while ignoring the flirting couple. Not long after that, they reached the palace, and the servant ushered them in. The grand palace made Yan felt even more determined to build a bigger palace once he returned.

The head of the Jun Tribe nodded to them once they come into the hall. His eyes particularly looked towards Jun Zhenxian and Jun Hua, inspecting them with passion.

"Head of the Jun Tribe, would you please retract your gaze?" Soujin said in a warning tone. He didn\'t like it when someone was looking towards his wife, especially during this time when Jun Hua was not wearing a veil and her extraordinary complexion was there for all to see.

The head of the Jun tribe hurriedly retracted his gaze. He had done his investigation about them, and he knew that each of them was not ordinary people. Should he offend them, the Jun Tribe and Long Kingdom would surely enter a long period of war.

"General Soujin, shall we talk about the matter on hand?" the head of the Jun Tribe hurriedly changed the topic.

Soujin nodded his head, "This general is listening."

The talk lasted for a longer term than what they would expect. Because there was a branch member of Jun Tribe in the Long Kingdom (Jun Hua), he didn\'t want the two to fight. After a series of offer from both side and wager, they finally come into terms to not attack each other and didn\'t bother with each side.

In this conversation, the one talking the most was Yan since he was the most capable one. Soujin only initiated and ended it while Jun Hua was not allowed to talk at all. After a long time, they finally finished.

The head of the Jun Tribe was satisfied with the result of their talk. With each side got what they want, they reached the agreement.

Jun Hua raised her head, "Head of Jun Tribe, may I ask a question?"

"What is it, young lady?"

"I want to know more about the altar," Jun Hua answered, "And the legend behind the power."

The head of the Jun Tribe stayed silent for a moment before answering, "The legend came from a long time ago and the record was lost with time, so no one knew about the real stories. From what we heard, there is a lady named Jun Hua who has the power to see the future, thus she changed the course of the war in the era and led her people into victory.

However, her effort is not enough as there are too many enemies faced by the person, and she is incapable of helping him. With no other option, she chose to sacrifice herself and give her power in order to let the person she loved win the war."

"Did he win?"

"No one knew anymore," The head of the Jun Tribe said in a regretful tone, "Some say that he win while the others said that he didn\'t. All in all, the only thing left is the fact that the Jun Tribe had the power from that day even though we only have distant relationship with her."

"She didn\'t have any children?"

"I\'m sorry, but I don\'t know."

"What happened with the record?" Jun Hua asked in bewilderment. Such an important legend and yet they allowed the record to be lost?

"In one of the chaotic era when we nearly got annihilated, the record was burned to ash, not leaving a single bit for us anymore," The head of the Jun Tribe answered.

Jun Hua nodded her head before remembering something, "What about the vision the ladies from Jun Tribe had when they touch the door?"

"The vision is there, but they only see a crowd of people in ancient clothing for split second, nothing more."

Jun Hua frowned. She was pretty sure that she had seen the crowd of people before, but she can faintly hear their voice too. She looked up.

"May I ask for permission to see the altar?"
