On the side, Yan cannot hold his mouth and laugh out loud. It didn't matter what he thinks anymore as Jun Hua feels her patience is being tested by them. She picked up the chopsticks on the table and tosses it with a good amount of force, but not her usual amount, towards Yan cup. The chopsticks caused the cup to fall towards Yan and drenched the man clothes.

"Wha… you know martial arts…?" Yan stared at his clothes in bewilderment. He would never expect that this girl could possibly know any martial arts and this one move… it has made him realize that this girl is amazing.

Soujin and Ming Hui also stared at the cup. The move may seem simple, but to do so with such precision is not easy. The girl who is mocked by the entire people in the capital is actually a fierce girl hiding behind her brother.

"You sure are something, little la.s.s," Soujin said calmly.

Jun Hua eyed him with the corner of her eyes. Does he even realize what he said? Can he at least act surprised? She feels annoyed by this man calmness and turned her head sideways. When she's dressed as girls, they have become more annoying than usual.

Soujin didn't mind with Jun Hua's antics as he picks up another chopstick and put it in front of her. Jun Hua looks at him confused.

"Eat first, you may beat Yan later."

"…"

"Soujin! Do you think I would lose compared with this girl? I'm not that weak!" Yan immediately protested. He can accept losing against Soujin and Jun Min, but Jun Hua, not a change! She's just a little girl and there shouldn't be any way she could beat him.

Jun Hua looks at him and sneered secretly. She had beaten him up a few times already, he's not her match at all. There is no fun in beating him continuously. However, she can beat him using another way and that would be more interesting.

The girl picks the chopsticks and started to eat elegantly. Ming Hui and Soujin followed suit, leaving only Yan who's on the verge of explosion. He feels betrayed. His own friends are all supporting the little la.s.s…

"Stop being so sentimental, eat first."

Ming Hui shoved a bowl in front of Yan before continuing eating. This prince is not behaving like prince at all, should he change his t.i.tle? Probably, to a merchant and forget about his ident.i.ty as a prince.

After eating to their fill, Yan started to protest towards Soujin again. He can't accept being looked down, but at the same time, he doesn't want to hurt ladies. If they were to engage in martial arts, he's afraid he might do something inappropriate. That will hurt his reputation even more.

If the other three know that he's thinking about his reputation, they would surely mock him. This prince reputation is already bad enough that it doesn't matter to add another one. However, if the news reached Jun Zhenxian or Jun Min ears, they doubt Yan can see the light tomorrow.

"It seems Prince Yan is truly like the rumors, know nothing and only know how to chase after girls. Are you afraid, Prince Yan?"

Jun Hua words are like a provocation, provoking the dignity Yan has as a man. He wants to retaliate, but although Jun Hua is covered by veil, somehow Yan feels that he had no means of fighting against her. He stared at the small girl and wonder, why is he feeling that way? This kind of suppression is just like when he's facing Soujin or Jun Min.

Yan looks at Soujin, "What do you want her to beat me with?"

Soujin takes out a batch of chopsticks and handed it to Jun Hua. Jun Hua picks it and looks at Soujin because she doesn't understand what his plan is.

"Try to reach this place from there without getting hit by the chopstick."

Yan curled his lips. Evading chopsticks? It will be easy for him. He had learned some martial arts and quite decent at it. At least, compared with normal people, his speed is faster by a lot. This time, he won't get beaten up again.

Jun Hua looks at the chopsticks. This rule is not bad and it's not like she's bad at throwing things. Although she cannot compare herself with the real professional, she is still quite decent at it. And Yan wis.h.i.+ng to outdo her eyes with his measly martial arts is practically impossible.

"Ready? Start!"

Soujin moved back and Yan started to run. Jun Hua tossed those chopsticks towards him, all of them at once. When Yan look at the incoming chopsticks, he can't outdo their speed...

OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!

Ming Hui laughed from the side. "It seems bullying Yan is already our habit."

Jun Hua smiled back. It's shouldn't be really hurt since she only used half of her power. If she used the same force as when she usually beat him up, he might need another day to rest in his room. And, it might rouse up his suspicion.

She looks at Soujin. "It's time for me to return."

"Let me escort you back."

Jun Hua wants to reject it, but it will seem impolite. She could only nod her head in response and walk out with Soujin.

Yan drag his body up. "That little girl is really vicious. Luckily her strength is not that big…"

"Do you want her to have the strength on par with Soujin?" Ming Hui rolled her eyes. "But that Jun family is really interesting. In a few days, it will be emperor birthday, who do you think will come from Jun family? Jun Hua or Jun Min?"

"Both," Yan answered. "Help me look at my wound first. I doubt it will be bruised but just in case."

"It won't leave bruise. Your skin is thick."

"Are you complementing me or insulting me?"

Ming Hui pick his cup. "What do you think?"

As the two of them continue their banter albeit Ming Hui did move to check on Yan, Soujin take Jun Hua home. He didn't ask her anything even though it is the first time he found out that she could use martial arts. Jun Hua also didn't ask back which makes their journey a bit awkward.

Soujin bring her to the door. "See you at the party."

Jun Hua didn't manage to react in time. What party? Oh right, she forgot the emperor birthday… it's in a few days. But why does Soujin want to meet with her, not Jun Min? Oh, right… they need to appear at the same time. What a ha.s.sle….
