Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

139 Lan Gao Ya

After a round of serious talking and joking, their conversation turned more tranquil as they only discuss about unimportant things. Their voices also get slightly louder in order to let those spies hear their banter. After all, the walls in the palace have a lot of ears and they are in the middle of a party.

Jun Min is still staying with them as the guest keeps on pouring inside. When the eunuch announces the arrival of Lan family, she raises her head. Lan Ping is there with Lan Gao Ya, but Lan Pan is not here. It is likely that Lan Teng wouldn't allow someone like him to attend such a party. Whatever the reason is, the Lan family only has three people arriving here.

Lan Gao Ya looks exceptionally beautiful. She wears a long pink dress with flowery type design. Her long hair is tied up beautifully in braids. With her charming face, she looks extremely alluring and many men cannot resist to not looking at her.

Jun Min looks towards the men on the hall. Most of them are mesmerized by Lan Gao Ya's beauty, but they cannot get close with her. That girl is being guarded heavily by Lan Ping and he keeps on sending murderous gaze towards any man dare to come closer. It truly makes one wonder whether Lan Gao Ya is his wife or cousin especially since Lan Ping was already married.

"Such a pretty girl, but having murderous gaze," Yan said sadly. As usual, he's the first one to comment whenever there is someone pretty near them.

He hardly ever met with Lan Gao Ya since the other party rarely leaves the Lan Family Residence. He doesn't know the reason, but Lan Teng won't allow the little girl to leave the residence too much.

Murderous gaze? Jun Min cannot see Lan Gao Ya gaze clearly because Lan Ping is on the way, but she remembers that gaze of hers when they met before. That was clearly the gaze of a smart girl, but crafty. Such kind of girl can think about many things and would scheme to get what she wants.

"I don't think your eyes are good enough to judge women, third brother," Ming Hui said doubtfully. He peered towards Yan's face only to find the other party face darkened.

"My eyes are not that poor! I could clearly differentiate between a beauty and not!"

"…I think that everyone has that skill," Jun Min interrupted. The standard of beauty in this kingdom is simple. Just find one who had exquisite features, white skin, and lovely body. Besides, most of the nobles are all pretty with them only marrying those pretty women for generation.

Yan wants to add when Soujin speaks up, "This time, Yan is correct."

Hearing Soujin confirmation, Yan smiles in proud manner, instantly dampened the mood of the two people in front of him. Ming Hui stares at the lady once again, determined to find the reason why Soujin had told him that his brother is correct. No matter which angles he sees, he cannot understand why these two are saying that the little girl is someone with murderous eyes.

She looks crafty? Yes. She looks pretty? Yes, without any question. She looks alluring? Considering how the men in the hall reacted, she must be in their eyes. She looks dangerous? In his eyes, she could only be categorized as hard to handle.

Fan Lanying followed after Ming Hui's line of gaze. Her lips pursed when she notices that she is looking towards Lan Gao Ya. She had heard about the other party previously. From what she heard, Lan Gao Ya is someone only second from Ming Hui in terms of talent. She wonders whether Ming Hui is feeling threatened by the other party talent.

"You better didn't stare at her too much," Soujin warns Ming Hui.

Ming Hui retracted his gaze and looks towards Soujin, his eyes clearly asking for an explanation. He cannot understand Soujin previous statement.

Soujin didn't answer and turn towards Jun Min, "What do you think, Jun Min?"

Jun Min swiftly moves her gaze towards the lady once again. She never paid much attention to the other party because of her lack in interest. If not because Soujin is asking her, she would never bother to look towards that little lady and try to look through her.

"She is like a rose."

"Why are you using a flower as comparison? Do you like her?" Yan asked in bewilderment.

Jun Min shot the other party a menacing glance before she continues, "Pretty but full of thorns."

Ming Hui contemplates what Jun Min had said before nodding his head. Indeed, this description fits the other party too well.

"Be careful, she is looking at you," Soujin said to Jun Min.

Jun Min looks towards the little lady. Does she still want to try scheming against her? If the other party did, she would welcome her very well and prepare a good gift for her.

"What could a little lady do?" Yan shrugged.

"Well, a woman could be pretty dangerous if you force her into a corner," Jun Min added. She was actually talking about herself. Her appearance looks harmless and many people usually mistook her for a scholar, but behind it is a valiant general capable of changing the flow of a battle.

"Does Lan Gao Ya were included in that category?" Yan peers towards Jun Min with confusion.

"Probably," Jun Min doesn't know, she had only met with the other party once before this and one meeting is practically impossible for her to know about someone clearly.

Soujin leaned back to his chair, "Probably she is, though it doesn't matter much."

While they are talking about Lan Gao Ya, the little girl's eyes are looking at them covertly. Because her uncle rarely allowed her to come outside, she only knows the people in the capital through the news she received. Only this time did she manage to see them directly.

"What are you looking at, Gao Ya?" Lan Ping asks in stern tone.

Lan Gao Ya looks towards her cousin for a moment before flashing a brilliant smile, so radiant that it can blind one's eye, "I'm looking at people who are more amazing than you."

Lan Ping's face turned rigid. People who can be categorized as more amazing than him are only two, Jun Min and Soujin.

"Don't look at them, Gao Ya!"

"Can you stop me from looking, my dear cousin?" Lan Gao Ya said in a slight mocking tone. Her lips curled up, showing a beautiful angelic smile, but her eyes are filled with mockery that she didn't bother to hide.

Before Lan Ping can say anything else, another noble girl has come towards them. She talks to Lan Gao Yan and the devilish smile she showed instantly disappear. As the replacement, a kind and noble like smile is there.

Lan Ping looks towards his father, but Lan Teng didn't look at them because he's busy greeting his old friends. Lan Ping eyes turned colder.

'I will expose you someday, you cunning girl.'

Lan Gao Ya ignores her cousin and happily talks with her friend. Her cousin thinks that he can do anything to her? In his dream!
