Chapter 81 - Order To Return

Bang!

Prince Ji Shu walked in. His face was dark. When he heard that there was someone who tried to harm Wei Xiao Hua, he came here almost immediately. His eyes darkened when he saw his fiancée was looking frustrated.

"Ji Shu," Wei Xiao Hua called out. She slowly inched closer and looked up to him with her tearful eyes. Her doe eyes made her look cute and added with the charm that her faces had, it was easy to melt one's heart.

Looking at her like that, Prince Ji Shu frowned. He stretched his hand and patted Wei Xiao Hua's head awkwardly. This was his first time trying to console a woman. Even though his heart was itching to give a lesson to whoever dared to do this, he couldn't bring himself to leave her alone.

She was too cute and adorable!

"I'll find out who did this and make him pay," Ji Shu said with murderous intent.

Wei Xiao Hua's eyes flashed. "Where's the location of Hong Zheng, Yijun, and Xie Family members?"

"Wei Hong Zheng and Wei Yijun both used horses. They traveled together, so they should be in a far location that couldn't even hear the commotion in this place."

The distance they took if they used horses should be a few hundred meters. Unless they were bow experts, they would never be able to shoot the arrow from that distance. With this in thought, Wei Xiao Hua's face was darkened.

She was hoping that they would be related to this incident in order to make sure that she could wipe them. However, things that the novel didn't mention might be from external factor. Wei Xiao Hua felt helpless as she could not understand what made the plot derailed so much.

There was only few small things that she did outside the novel as it was impossible for a novel to record all of the main character's action. The most obvious one was during the Lantern Festival as she was supposed to be staying with her two sisters. However, she ditched them as she couldn't stand the thought of staying with them together.

And the Lantern Festival ended up having a huge plot derailment with Ji Xiaoli incident.

Wei Xiao Hua's face darkened at the thought of that incident. She couldn't believe that the princess was still keeping her reputation intact. Because of that, she was also a bit anxious about the plot in the second volume as it would definitely change everything. Yet, she couldn't say anything to anyone.

The feeling of not knowing the future made her anxious.

She had completely forgotten that in her 'previous' life, she could never know what would happen in the future.

"Then…"

"As for Xie Family, I'll try to investigate it," Ji Shu said. He was also busy investigating all the children of the officials who had bad bone with him. Many of them were secretly scheming on the back against him. 

If he found out the one who did it… 

Ji Shu's eyes blazed with flames of anger. He would never let them off!

…

Back in the forest, Wei Liuying had sat down leisurely in her hiding place. There was still no movement made by any beast. The others were also staying still in their location as they were very patient. Both Wei Yijun and Xie Jing have already experienced the hunt for three years, so they have gotten used with the situation here.

They have to be patient if they wished to get anything.

A rabbit appeared from the bushes. The people there frowned, thinking about whether to hit it or not. They were still contemplating when they heard xiu sound as an arrow was shot from the top of the tree.

Jleb!

The arrow perfectly hit the unsuspecting rabbit.

"Why did you kill that one? Our target is a boar," Xie Jing asked unhappily.

Swish!

Wei Yijun jumped down from the tree and landed on the ground with swift movement. He looked at Xie Jing and shrugged. "Better than nothing."

"You... just wait a bit more ah!"

"Well, there's no guarantee that the boar will return back."

"Do you think it'll not get scared away because of the blood smell now?" Xie Jing was feeling exasperated. 

"I don't know."

"You…!"

Wei Yijun ignored the fuming Xie Jing and took the rabbit's body. He still didn't remove the arrow yet as he didn't wish to stain the ground with the blood. It would spell trouble as the one that got attracted to the blood would be wolves. And if a pack appeared, they might not be able to survive here.

Wei Liuying jumped down from the tree too. She looked at the rabbit curiously while looking around. There was no sign of any other animals nearby.

"Maybe we should continue to hide?" Wei Liuying asked with a hint of uncertainty. She acted as if she didn't know the extremely long wait for hunters. Sometimes, it was even possible for them to wait an entire day and still didn't have any result.

Xie Jing snorted. "Of course, we have to wait again! Our target is.."

"Young Master!"

"What is it?" Xie Jing turned his head around and asked harshly. He was already in a bad mood because Wei Yijun chose to target the rabbit and not wait for their real target to appear. If only they wait a bit more, probably they would be able to go home with the boar's meat.

Though, there was no guarantee.

"There's an accident in the villa. We're told to return back."

"What happened?" Wei Yijun stood up while carrying the rabbit's body.

The servant was rushing over. He looked with panic. "First Miss Wei got hit because of a misfire arrow."

"Misfire?" Xie Jing was stunned. "Who's the stupid one to point the arrow towards the villa's location?"

"They're not sure, but everyone is told to return back."

The three of them looked at each other when they heard that answer. Neither one of them was willing to return back when they hadn't gotten the target they wanted. After all, there was still a chance for the boar to return back here.

"Who's giving the order?"

"His Highness the Fourth Prince."
