Chapter 290: Hunting in the Mountains

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“By what right are you speaking to me?”

Upon hearing Ha Chi’s words, Xiao Nanye replied immediately, his eyes devoid of warmth.

Stunned by Xiao Nanye’s words, Ha Chi was caught off guard. Though his tribe on the grassland was small, his status as the prince gave him considerable respect among the princes of the Qi kingdom.

However, now, Ha Chi realized that in Xiao Nanye’s eyes, his status meant nothing.

Anyone else making such a statement would have deeply humiliated Ha Chi. However, as his tribe values strength above all, and knowing the capability of King Cheng, he quickly bowed in apology after a few moments of silence, “1 apologize for my oversight, please forgive me, King Cheng.”

Beside them, Yan Xin, who had been listening, was left in complete disbelief.

When she learned that Prince Ha Chi was searching for a bride among the noblewomen, Yan Xin took the initiative to approach him. Although her heart was set on Prince Qing, the latter’s household had become too lively, leading her to abandon that idea.

Now, seeing Ha Chi’s deference to Xiao Nanye, Yan Xin was left questioning her choices.

“Let’s go over there,” Xiao Nanye said, not even acknowledging Ha Chi’s apology. Instead, he turned to Jiang Peihuan.

Upon hearing him, Jiang Peihuan nodded and followed. As they were leaving, Xiao Nanye instinctively took her hand, positioning himself protectively in front of her.

Watching this scene, a range of emotions played out in Yan Xin’s eyes, especially when she noticed the bow and arrow in Jiang Peihuan’s hand.

“After they leave, we should go too,” Ha Chi said to Yan Xin.

“But why are we leaving this vast South Mountain? I…” Yan Xin started, but was abruptly interrupted by Ha Chi.

“Enough!” he snapped. “Don’t think I’m unaware of why you approached me. I don’t mind if you play your games, but if you ever try to manipulate me, I will not spare you.”

With that, Ha Chi walked away, not even sparing another glance at Yan Xin.

Watching the man who was once affectionate with her now leave so coldly, Yan Xin’s eyes darkened. She turned and took another path.

Biting her lip, Yan Xin walked off in another direction.

Jiang Peihuan, unaware of the preceding events, wouldn’t have cared even if she knew. At that moment, the Jiang family was focused on hunting, having entered deep into the mountains.

Jiang Ruyun couldn’t help but ask Jiang Peihuan, “Elder sister, is Yan Xin planning to marry into the grassland tribe?”

As she spoke, she instinctively glanced at Cao Jun beside her. After all, there was once an engagement between him and Yan Xin. Although she and Cao Jun were soon to be married, she couldn’t help but overthink this detail.

Seeing no reaction on Cao Jun’s face, as if he hadn’t heard her words, Jiang Ruyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing Jiang Ruyun’s question, Jiang Peihuan simply responded, “Whatever her plans may be, they have nothing to do with us.”

In her past life, Yan Xin was one of the people who had harmed her. Maybe things have changed this time around, or perhaps her family is still safe, but Jiang Peihuan’s perspective has gradually shifted.

As for Yan Xin, as long as she doesn’t provoke Jiang Peihuan, there won’t be any issue.

Jiang Peihuan’s approach may be simple, but there are those who refuse to let her be.

“Elder Sister, look!”

Suddenly, Jiang Sijin exclaimed in surprise. Following her gaze, everyone spotted a white tiger not far away.

The white tiger had originally wanted to come out and find food. At first, when it sensed the presence of humans, it was somewhat excited. But upon seeing Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan’s group, it decided to run away.

Animals have a keen sense of danger.

To the white tiger, the aura given off by Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan’s were dangerious.

So, after giving Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan, and their group a glance, it ran off into the distance.

“Think you can escape?”

Upon witnessing this, Jiang Sijin exclaimed excitedly, her eyes filled with eagerness, and immediately spurred her horse to give chase.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan quickly followed.

Naturally, Xiao Nanye wanted to follow Jiang Peihuan.

Immediately, everyone headed in the direction the white tiger had taken.

At first, the entire group could keep up, but Lie Feng and Zhui Yun’s speed was incredibly fast. Gradually, Jiang Ruyun and Cao Jun couldn’t keep up.

“Sijin, come back!”

From horseback, Jiang Peihuan shouted as she saw Jiang Sijin relentlessly chasing after the white tiger without looking back.

But Jiang Sijin moved too fast and didn’t hear Jiang Peihuan’s voice.

“Don’t worry, I’ll chase her!”

Xiao Nanye, observing the situation, quickly reassured.

But just as Xiao Nanye surged forward, an arrow suddenly shot out of nowhere, aiming straight for Jiang Peihuan’s face.

No one expected an arrow to suddenly appear. Jiang Peihuan didn’t even have time to dodge.

“Huan Er, watch out!”

Jiang Changbai, who had caught up, shouted in alarm.

Jiang Peihuan, unable to avoid it, could only watch the arrow fly towards her.

But at that moment, Xiao Nanye, who had already moved ahead, suddenly flew back, pulling her into his embrace.

The arrow grazed past Xiao Nanye’s face, leaving a bloody mark on the man’s cheek.

Before either of them could utter a word, another arrow shot towards them.

This time, Jiang Changbai promptly took out his bow and aimed in the direction from which the arrows came.

Xiao Nanye pulled Jiang Peihuan behind him, and screams echoed from a distance.

The three exchanged glances and moved in that direction.

Making their way through the jungle, Jiang Peihuan instantly spotted Yan Xin, an arrow lodged in her chest, lying at the base of a tree with blood smeared around her mouth.

But upon seeing Jiang Peihuan, Yan Xin glared at her darkly. She tried to raise her bow, but she no longer had the strength to even draw it.

“You’re seeking death.”

Seeing the bow in Yan Xin’s hands, Xiao Nanye’s eyes filled with murderous intent.

He promptly raised his bow, aiming straight at Yan Xin, but was stopped by Jiang Peihuan, who grabbed his wrist. Meeting his puzzled look, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “No need to waste an arrow; her heart’s vessels are damaged.” Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xiao Nanye put down his bow.

Although Jiang Peihuan stopped Xiao Nanye, she had no intentions of saving Yan Xin. After all, Yan Xin had tried to kill her, and she wasn’t that magnanimous.

“Whether you live or die depends on your fate.” 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝓃𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝑚

After leaving that comment, Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye departed.
