Chapter 556 Autumn Hunting (1)_1
After lunch, Master Lv and the others rested for a while before continuing to dig the foundation at the construction site. With nothing to do, Yan Junyu wandered up to the hill behind the Mo Family’s residence. Gazing at the towering mountains in the distance that seemed to scrape the skies, he couldn’t help but feel the itch to hunt and urged Mo Yan to join him on a hunting trip in the mountains with the three beasts.
Mo Yan didn’t want to indulge his craziness and decisively refused, "The mountains are full of wild beasts, and even with the three beasts leading the way, safety can’t be guaranteed. As a Young Master of noble status, it would be better not to take risks."
Yan Junyu looked at her with a melancholic expression and said softly, "Don’t think I don’t know you often venture into the mountains. If a frail woman like you can move about without hindrance, why can’t I? You must not want to spend time with me, right? If it were Hanzhang, that lad, would you still refuse him?"
Mo Yan was baffled, not understanding why this man was suddenly acting crazy again. Not wanting to argue with him, she found a plausible reason to say, "When I usually venture into the mountains, I only roam the periphery, where only small game like pheasants and hares can be found. How could such prey showcase the Young Master’s hunting prowess? Large game can only be found deeper in the mountains, where the terrain is complex. Although we wouldn’t get lost with the three beasts, there are often wolf packs roaming, and once we encounter them, it would be difficult to escape. I am truly concerned for the Young Master’s safety."
Yan Junyu, looking at Mo Yan’s sincere face, seemed to feel that she truly cared about him, and he couldn’t help but feel somewhat pleased. He haughtily hummed and said, "Seeing how much you care for me, I won’t trouble you anymore. Anyway, the triennial autumn hunt is in a few days, and I will have plenty of opportunities to showcase my skills."
Mo Yan’s heart stirred, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Will Bro Xiao go? Could there be any danger?" She hadn’t forgotten that a few months ago, the assassins who targeted him were still at large. Who knew if someone might use the autumn hunt to strike at him again!
