Looking up, the sunlight was s.h.i.+ning through the foliage, like stars s.h.i.+ning in a black curtain. It was somewhat dazzling, but it was so beautiful that it made one's heart beat faster.

Bai Li blinked, she never thought that the location of the hunt would be at Cloud Piercing Mountain.

Unlike the last time Bai Li went up the mountain, the road they went up was obviously more lush and lush with trees, and there were more beasts than she had seen before.

Seeing Bai Li staring at the beasts in the forest, Yun Shaoning thought that she was afraid. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Junior sister, don't be scared.

"Is there any use in following you?" Before Bai Li could say anything, Xue Qingyan's cold voice floated over.

Yun Shaoning blushed, scratched his head and laughed, "Hehe, little junior sister, follow me, I'll follow you."

"Puff …" Looking at Yun Shaoning's cute appearance, Bai Li couldn't help but to let out a laugh.

Qi Wen also lowered her head to hold back her laughter.

Murong Xun's eyes lightly flashed as he expressionlessly stepped forward and held Bai Li's hand, "I don't need you two to worry about me being my fiancee. I will protect myself."

After Murong Xun finished speaking, he pulled Bai Li along and walked forward.

Xue Qingyan's gaze turned deep. Yun Shaoning angrily stomped his feet and chased after him with Xue Qingyan in tow.

Murong Xun had ill intentions towards the little Junior Sister, he definitely would not let the little Junior Sister be with him alone.

On Cloud Piercing Mountain, it was already bustling with noise and excitement, most of the partic.i.p.ants of the hunting compet.i.tion had already arrived, and many of them had already started their practice.

The Cloud Piercing Mountain's Hunting Compet.i.tion was divided into two seasons, regardless of gender.

The Cloud View Continent viewed martial arts as their honor, and regardless of gender, everyone was proud of it. Therefore, this hunting compet.i.tion would naturally become the best opportunity for the unmarried men and women to choose their target. In order to not affect the performance of young people, it was stipulated that only unmarried girls could partic.i.p.ate in compet.i.tions, and men, regardless of marriage or not, could not partic.i.p.ate beyond the age of thirty.

The hunting grounds of the Cloud Piercing Mountain were divided into two sides, the east, west and west. led the men in the east and Jian Chen led the women in the west. And the boys and girls who were preparing to partic.i.p.ate, were generally led by Murong Xun and Murong Lingshan.

The Western Enclosure was for the women to rest in. At the moment, there was only Princess s...o...b..i Qingyan and the Rong family.

"I just returned from the northwest, I didn't have the time to return to the General's Estate. Recently, you have been seeing that girl Qu Er." Bai Qingyan pulled Madam Rong and whispered.

Speaking of Bai Li, Madam Rong immediately laughed, "We just met a few days ago."

"Is she really well?" The nervous voice was filled with antic.i.p.ation.

Madam Rong nodded her head, "That's great, that little girl is now full of ghosts and spirits."

As she spoke, she told Bai Qingyan about Bai Li's recent situation.

Bai Qingyan listened as she cried out emotionally, "That's good enough! You're finally able to rest in peace, big brother's spirit in heaven is fine too."

Madam Rong also nodded with a sorrowful look on her face, "That's right, a leopard is the only thing that concerns Xiang Jun and Ting Xuan. Now that she's fine, they can naturally be at ease."

Bai Qingyan looked up, "Sister Rong, do you have any news on my sister-in-law?"

The Rong family lowered their eyes and shook their heads. Ever since Xiang Jun had disappeared, she had sent countless people out to scout, but there was no news of her at all.

Seeing that, Bai Qingyan also lowered her eyes in grief. Her eldest brother had died on the battlefield, and her sister-in-law was nowhere to be found. It was a good thing that she was now clear-headed, otherwise she wouldn't even know how to explain herself when she met her eldest brother underground.

Outside the west wing, Murong Lingshan paced back and forth impatiently.

"Where did royal brother go? Why hasn't he come?" And that Xue Qingyan, why isn't he here yet? " Murong Lingshan said as he anxiously looked down the mountain.

Seeing Murong Lingshan like that, the Queen Jian Jiayi's face immediately darkened. "Look at you, do you still have the appearance of a lady?

Murong Lingshan pouted and unwillingly sat next to Queen.

Queen frowned and turned to look at Cui Xia, "Go and take a look at the crown prince."

"Yes." Cui Xia blessed her body and immediately bowed and took her leave.

With Queen around, no one dared to be impudent. All of them had their head lowered, looking like a young wife.

The west side was quiet, while the east side was bustling with noise and excitement.

"Why aren't the crown prince and Xue Xiaohou here yet?"

"I wonder who will become the champion between His Highness the crown prince and the Xue Xiaohou this time around."

"That's hard to say. Last time, the one who won the Spring Festival Gala was His Highness the Crown Prince, but last year, the one who won the Autumn Gap was the Xue Xiaohou. These two are of equal strength."

Hearing the discussions of the ministers below, Murong Shuofeng became interested, and glanced at Xue Yuanlang: "Third brother, what do you think?"

Xue Yuanlang's eyes flashed, and leisurely smiled. "The crown prince has been busy chasing after his wife recently, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to train in martial arts."

Murong Shuofeng raised his eyebrows and replied bluntly: "That brat is full of energy. However, your Yan Er is busy refining medicine, I am afraid her martial arts are wasted."

I say royal brother, third brother, it's pointless to argue about who wins. Seeing that the two of them did not want to let each other win, Su w.a.n.g Murong Jinhong could not help but interrupt.

Xue Yuanlang smirked, "What His Highness says is reasonable, once the two of them get it, we will know."

Murong Shuofeng laughed and slapped his thigh, "We can't wait to know the results of your speech."

Murong Shuofeng turned and looked at the Eunuch Rong as he spoke, "Go and take a look, see if they have arrived yet."

"Yes." Eunuch Rong bowed and left.

On the side, Yun Zhiyuan pulled Miao Yi to the side, "Do you see that d.a.m.ned brat?"

Miao Yi shook his head, "Not yet, Xue Xiaohou isn't here either. Young Master should be here with Xue Xiaohou."

Yun Zhiyuan frowned, and stared, "When I see him in a while, find a chance to bring him back to me."

Miao Yi twitched his lips in exasperation. With Madame here, capturing the young master was easier said than done.

"He's here, he's here! The crown prince's palace is coming down!" The young masters who were training on the side of the mountain all became excited when they saw Murong Xun and his group.

"Look, Xue Xiaohou and Third Young Master Yun have arrived as well."

"Who is the Crown Prince leading?"

"It looks like a woman."

Eunuch Rong and Cui Xia who were guarding the mountainside immediately ran back to report the moment they saw Murong Xun. "Reporting to Emperor, Your Highness.

Murong Shuofeng smiled as he raised his hand, "It's good that you're here, let them prepare. They will begin shortly."

"Yes." Eunuch Rong bowed and left.

"Queen, the crown prince's palace is coming down." On the west side, Cui Xia was also reporting to the Queen.

Before Queen could say anything, Murong Lingshan jumped up, "Imperial brother is finally here, is Xue Qingyan here yet?"

Cui Xia immediately bowed and said, "Xue Xiaohou is here as well."

"I'll go take a look." Murong Lingshan heard and immediately ran out.
