“I don’t know.”

What did he give to Third Brother…

Bai Xianyu’s taste buds suddenly remembered something. It was warm and sweet.

There seemed to be traces of sweetness in her mouth. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ji Shuang only mentioned it casually. In the end, she draped a cloak over Bai Xianyu and held her hand as they walked out. “Forget it if you don’t know. However, other than being a little rash, Xie Xingyun seems to be a good person. Fortunately, 1 didn’t chop off his hand back then. Otherwise, what if he didn’t save you?”

Bai Xianyu pursed her lips slightly. Could it be that Xie Xingyun also sent the candies that day?

Why did he want Third Brother to say that it was Third Brother who sent them over?

There was also the last time, the jade pendant that he fished out, he also wanted Xiao Zheng to say that it was fished out by the officials working on the case.

In a flash.

The scene from that day on the eaves surfaced again.

She frowned impatiently.

[Then please leave now.]

[… Mm.]

It was as if after that day, Xie Xingyun had deliberately kept a distance from her.

When she was dragged to the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor to watch over him till his fever subsided, Xie Xingyun suddenly asked,

[Would you be happier if 1 don’t appear in front of you?]

Now that she thought about it, his tone sounded cautious.

This hunting ground occupied a large area. After arriving, Ji Shuang got the guards to set up a tent and swaggered in with Bai Xianyu.

Even though it was early spring, there were still many people here. However, because the area was quite large, it looked sparse.

Bai Xianyu held the horse’s belly between her legs. Her shoulder loops made her look clean and sharp, and the quiver beside her was filled with arrows.

The two of them walked around but did not see anything. Ji Shuang frowned. “Where did they go?”

Suddenly, a heavy muffled grunts mixed with the shrill cries of animals came from behind them.

“There’s movement over there. Let’s go take a look!” Ji Shuang pulled Bai Xianyu’s reins and turned the horse around. Then, the two of them galloped all the way to the source of the cry.

Bai Xianyu looked at the big net in front of her and opened her eyes slightly. “Why is there someone using a net?”

In the huge pit in front of them, a few sika deer and foxes tried their best to jump up. There were also two or three dead hares beside them.

“We meet again.”

Ji Shuang frowned. “Who?”

Bai Xianyu looked at the man in the moon-white robe who walked out from behind the tree and paused. “It’s you?”

Mo Linyuan chuckled and did not say much.

Ji Shuang looked at him from head to toe, “Who are you?”

“I met him when I went to Buddha Temple some time ago,” Bai Xianyu explained briefly. She was not good friends with the person in front of her, so her tone was slightly cold.

Mo Linyuan smiled slightly. “Meeting you today is in line with what 1 said that day about us being fated.”

Bai Xianyu smiled without saying anything.

Ji Shuang raised her eyebrows. “Did you set up this net?”

“Yes.”

“If you want to hunt, then hunt. Why do you have to use such a method? Wouldn’t that take the fun out of it?”

Mo Linyuan smiled and shook his head. “No, no. To me, the fun of hunting is to admire the prey walking into the trap. It’s boring to kill them directly.”

Watching the prey on the verge of death and struggling in despair was more fun than hunting itself.

However, when he saw the girl sitting on the horse looking at him, Mo Linyuan’s eyes darkened and the corners of his lips curled up even higher. “I’m Lin Yuan. How should I address the two ladies?”

“Ji Shuang.” Ji Shuang crossed her arms naturally.

She had long heard that the people of Great Kui were open. Not only could women go to private schools and academies with men, but there were also not many taboos during the usual banquets. This was something that Daqing could not compare to.

Seeing that Ji Shuang had said it, Bai Xianyu also said, “Bai Xianyu.”

Ji Shuang, the granddaughter of Prince Pingnan, was said to be the only offspring of his favorite daughter.

He had already guessed Bai Xianyu’s identity that day, but what made him curious was that these two people had different personalities, how could they be so close?

Could it be that… Prince Pingnan’s Residence and the General’s Manor had some kind of relationship?

Mo Linyuan was deep in thought. Then, he said, “Since the three of us are of the same age, we can be considered fated. It just so happens that I’m alone. Why don’t I join you?”

Ji Shuang agreed readily and glanced at the animals. “Okay, what about your prey?”

Mo Linyuan said, “Let’s bring them back to the camp to roast later. Those that can’t be roasted will be released.”

Ji Shuang glanced at him. “Do you have a tent? If not, bring them to us.”

“No.”

Ji Shuang whistled, and soon a man in black knelt in front of her. “Miss.”

“Find someone to bring them back.”

“Yes.”

The three of them swept through the forest for half a day and returned with a full load.

When they returned to the tent, the guards led their horses to the stable. They got someone to throw the prey in an empty place.

“Let me count. I hunted three pheasants, two red foxes, a hare, and a deer… There are a total of seven.” Ji Shuang glanced at herself and said.

Bai Xianyu looked at her side. “1 shot four hares, three wild deer, and a pheasant.”

Ji Shuang said, “That’s… eight.”

“I lost again.” Ji Shuang sighed. “When we were young and being taught by our Teacher, you were always the best. I thought that hard work could make up for my lack of talent, but in the end, 1 still didn’t beat you.”

It was no wonder that Old General Bai could become a general even though he was just a commoner. Deep down in his bones, he must be a talent.

Mo Linyuan stood silently at the side and listened.

Bai Xianyu smiled and said, “That’s because I only know how to shoot arrows. Everything else is too dangerous. My brothers won’t let me touch them. You’re proficient in sabers, spears, clubs, swords, and halberds. If you compete with me in anything else, I can only admit defeat.”

Ji Shuang was just saying that, but she actually did not care in her heart. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Then let’s start roasting.”

As the only man among the three, Mo Linyuan volunteered to roast meat for the two of them.

Ji Shuang could not sit still, so she took her bow and arrow to the shooting range at the side.

Bai Xianyu was a little weak and her hand hurt. Just as she was about to find some medicine, a hand reached out from the side.

“Your hand hurts?”

Bai Xianyu hesitated for a moment before taking it. “Thank you.”

Mo Linyuan looked at her with a smile. “Why do I feel that Miss Bai is a little different from the last time we met? Even if we just met by chance, there’s no need to be so polite.”

Along the way, Ji Shuang was the one who spoke to him, but Bai Xianyu rarely interrupted.

It was as if… she was afraid.

Bai Xianyu thought for two seconds and asked instead of answering, “Young Master, are you from Daqing?”

Mo Linyuan’s smile froze and he asked with deep meaning, “Why do you say that?”

“The material you’re wearing is the silk spat out by the Sky Mountain Snow Silkworms of Daqing. I don’t know how long it took to gather the material. Although you speak fluently in the capital, you’re clearly very unfamiliar with this famous hunting ground. However, looking at Young Master’s appearance, you often hunt. In this capital, the one who has the ability to wear your clothes, and has the surname Lin, is only the direct line of the Lin Family of the Marquis of Dingyuan. Clearly, you don’t match.”

Some time ago, Second Brother had just given her a set of such fabric, so Bai Xianyu was quite familiar with it and recognized it at a glance.

And this kind of fabric had always been a tribute item.

This person was not only from Daqing, but also had a rather deep background..
