29 Walking Around the Academy
Thanks to Fan Lanying staying by Jun Hua's side all the time during their lessons, the girls didn't have any courage to get close with her anymore. They could only stand by the side and shoot glaring daggers at Fan Lanying who didn't seem to care at all. With Fan Lanying's sharp mouth, they didn't dare to confront her and say what they wanted.
"Do you want to change the scenery for a while? Those girls are truly an eyesore."
Jun Hua nodded. She too found them to be an eyesore, but she didn't say it aloud.
"Good, let me take you to a good place."
Fan Lanying dragged her to a small garden behind the hall. The garden was filled with trees, making it more similar to a small forest rather than garden. Most of the trees were huge and they blocked their vision. There were also a lot of bush inside the garden and only a small portion of it was filled with the flowers.
"This place is quite good. The academy is quite big, so we might use up all our break time if we continue to walk around."
"Have you strolled in this garden before?" Jun Hua asked in curiosity. Since Fan Lanying spent a lot of time in this academy, she must have a lot of experience.
Fan Lanying brows creased up."I don't like those trees. They're blocking the view too much. I don't understand why they built the garden like this."
"True enough."
"I still want to go to the hall. The boys must be training there."
Jun Hua stared at Fan Lanying helplessly. She wasn't interested to see the boys, not even their training too! Seeing the look on Jun Hua face, Fan Lanying sighed.
"Just go back first, I will be there soon."
"Alright."
After walking a few steps, suddenly Jun Hua froze at one spot in the garden. She sensed the presence of someone inside the forest but it was faint. This kind of presence was similar to Yamin, an assassin. She wondered who would send an assassin to school, so she decided to stay in place to see the person. After a while, her face turned strange.
She walked a few steps."If you keep on crying, you will be similar to a girl."
The one in front of her startled and raised his face. He was a little boy around the age of 12 with good features. His clothes too were one of high quality and they would know that he came from good family background. The strange thing was this boy was crying in such a very unlikely place. At his age, this boy shouldn't have started to go to school yet.
The boy pouted."I'm angry at someone..."
The little boy paused as he noticed that the girl in front of him was very beautiful. She was wearing a veil, so he couldn't see her face. But he could faintly see that her skin was so fair white and she had slender body. As a noble, he had seen a lot beautiful women but this lady was certainly on a level higher than them.
Jun Hua didn't realize that he was frozen because of her face. She assumed that he just didn't want to tell things to a stranger.
"What is it? You don't want to tell? It's alright, I won't force you, " Jun Hua smiled under her veil.
The boy stared blankly for a moment."My Name is Nanglong Keita. I have just got a chance to play with my older cousin Brother Soujin but he keeps on doing his works. I have been waiting for the chance to play with him again after a long time. So, when I got the chance, I sneaked out."
This time, it was Jun Hua's turn to have her mind blanked. Nanglong Soujin! She didn't want to meet him as a girl as she worried he would found out about her. Soujin was sharp and he might found something amiss if she interacted with him.
Jun Hua knew that Soujin would surely come here sooner or later. She sighed deeply. How would she know that even when she was dressed as Jun Hua, the other party could still have the chance to meet her? Aside from that, she would never expect a random teenager she meets on the academy would turn out to be his cousin!
She looked at Nanglong Keita. To escape under the nose of someone like Nanglong Soujin, this little boy must have trained a lot. The physique of Nanglong Seika didn't differ much from the other person, but Jun Hua noticed that his muscle was shaped perfectly and he had thin presence.
"You're amazing. Your cousin is a general, but you still can escape from him, " Jun Hua praised.
Nanglong Keita grinned."I'm also a part of Nanglong family. These kinds of things are simple!"
Jun Hua was amused. The way Nanglong Keita said it was as if the Nanglong family was capable to do everything they wanted. And to escape under the nose of Soujin, Jun Hua was sure that she wouldn't be able to do that easily. She barely managed to contend against him and erasing her presence perfectly was hard in front of someone like Soujin.
"Really...?"
Nanglong Keita nodded."Big Brother Soujin is the best among all of younger generations. But I will surpass him someday!"
Jun Hua stared in surprise. This little boy she met was surprisingly ambitious.
"If he's really the best, how can you sneak out from him?" Jun Hua curiously asked.
"He's distracted of course. That dummy cousin of mine is too busy to care for me, " Nanglong Keita grumbled.
Jun Hua wanted to laugh, but she sensed another presence near her. She was surprised because she did not detect it until it had come really close to her. With her ability, there was no way a person would be able to come near her without her knowing it, unless that person had a much higher ability than her.
She turned her gaze and saw a man standing there looking annoyed.
"Keita, what did you just call me?"
