Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Give you two puffs Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Give you two puffs Fang Xiyue rely acted simple, but she wasn’t foolish. She grasped the aning behind Shu Yu’s words and understood that such an opportunity was indeed rare. If she let it slip by, she might regret it for a lifeti.
She took a deep breath and nodded emphatically, “I understand.”
Shu Yu then said no more, and the two of them hurried to catch up with Ma Lu and the rest of the group, following them into the deep mountains.
When they returned from hunting that afternoon, and after Xiyue had spoken to her parents in this way, she sought Shu Yu the next day, her face brimming with joy as she said, “Yu, it’s settled. My parents have agreed to let go into the mountains. I convinced them.”
Although the process was arduous, the outco was as Fang Xiyue had hoped.
Moreover, due to this matter, Father Fang called the two of them to his ho and advised them on so things to note.
He had been a hunter for many years, and although he had never hunted a tiger, he had encountered them twice.
Each ti, he had managed to avoid them. On one instance, he even startled the tiger and nearly beca its al. Only his wits, combined with the fact that the tiger was wounded from a recent battle with another wild beast, allowed him to escape.
All of these were experiences, and Father Fang repeatedly urged them to protect their lives. Even if it seed selfish, if it truly ca to a helpless situation, they should let Ma Lu and the other n hold the animals off while they prioritized escaping.
Shu Yu rembered each word and, acting on Father Fang’s orders, prepared so items.
Ti swiftly passed, and before long, five days had gone by.
Shu Yu got up early in the morning, ate a full al, secured her crossbow arrow, and wrapped her hair in a cloth to prevent it from getting snagged by branches and affecting her movents.
Then she left ho and headed towards the manor.
Apart from their own families, only the people in Ma Lu and Shu Yu’s groups knew about their plan to hunt tigers in the mountains.
Therefore, the other hunting parties on the manor didn’t notice anything unusual.
Oh, that’s not quite right—there was sothing.
Now, their gaze upon Shu Yu and Ma Lu’s team was quite suspicious because, over the previous days as they beca familiar with each other and moved together in the mountains, it seed to the others that Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue had attached themselves to Ma Lu’s capable team.
Especially the fifth team, who looked at them with great annoyance.
At first, they had looked down on the two young ladies, but after discovering that not only could they hunt, they even had abundant gains, they then beca interested and wanted to include them in their own team.
Firstly, they could benefit from the hunt, and secondly, they could take advantage of the young ladies.
That’s what the fifth team thought and were prepared to do.
But Shu Yu and her companion acted faster, joining the third team by the third day. The third team was small, but each mber was skilled, which made the fifth team very wary. They could only watch with exasperation as the ga brought in by their rivals grew richer day by day, yet they could do nothing about it.
Now, seeing the two teams set out together again, the fifth team couldn’t help but spit out disdainfully, “Cheap bones.”
They strode out, passing by Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue, and deliberately bumped into Xiyue.
Shu Yu, quick-eyed and fast-handed, caught her, “Are you okay?”
Fang Xiyue shook her head, and Shu Yu looked up at the leader of the fifth team.
That leader spoke in a nonchalant tone, “Whoops, didn’t see there. Did it hurt? Want to blow on it for you?”
Fang Xiyue’s face flushed with anger, while Shu Yu narrowed her eyes, “No need for blowing. If you feel sorry, you can compensate with money.”
“Ha? Pay you money? What are you—ah…”
