Chapter 370 - 369: Said to Return in 3 Days
Qi Sanshun’s words left Ye Xinyan dumbstruck, and she reacted instantly—was she being looked down upon by this brat?
Ye Xinyan was about to step forward and give him another lesson to see just how much better he could be than a woman, but she was pulled back by Qi Jiaer tugging at her sleeve. He whispered, "Sister, I want to go too when I’m grown up."
"..." Ye Xinyan looked down at Qi Jiaer’s envious and longing gaze, then lifted her eyes to see more than a dozen figures sitting on horses outside the courtyard in the night, ready to leave. The sound of hooves, together with the occasional snorts of the horses, added a restlessness to the already vague silhouettes of the riders.
Was this the difference between men and women? Would their perspectives on matters always diverge? Even someone as young as Qi Jia was filled with an admiration for such masculine vigor?
Jinrong and Jiang Yifan exchanged glances, and Jiang Yifan pulled on the reins. His mount let out a long, echoing neigh, and before the sound had fully faded, Jiang Yifan called out, "It’s getting late, let’s set off now."
Guan He directly summoned Wong Qiao, "Ah Qiao, let’s go."
Wong Qiao responded, mounted his horse, and waved to those seeing them off.
Jinrong and Jiang Yifan, Guan He, Wong Qiao, as well as the servants of Jinrong and Jiang Yifan, and the guards gathered at the last minute, made up the hunting party of more than ten people. As they all spurred their horses at once, the earth flew beneath thundering hooves, sending up mud and dust, and gradually, the party disappeared into the dim light of dawn.
