The three of them looked at each other when they heard that answer. Neither one of them was willing to return back when they hadn't gotten the target they wanted. After all, there was still a chance for the boar to return back here.

"Who's giving the order?"

"His Highness the Fourth Prince."

"Ahh, why is it have to be him?" Xie Jing really wanted to curse aloud. If not because of the fact that he was a young master of an influential family, he would not hesitate to curse out loudly.

But if that fourth prince were to hear, he would be a dead meat.

"First Sister is his fiancée," Wei Yijun informed. "We better go back and find out what had happened exactly."

"Alright," Wei Liuying sounded unwilling, but she still agreed.

Xie Jing sighed and followed after the other two. He was also unwilling. Considering that they were at least three hundred or maybe even four hundred's meters away from the villa, it was impossible for any of them to be the one. However, he was not in the position to say that.

They regrouped with the servants and rode on their horses to return back. Huo was looking at Wei Liuying with suspicious gaze, but Wei Liuying kept her composure. From the moment she decided to act, she was already determined to see it to the very end. At the same time, she would make sure that she would never show any loophole.

Wei Liuying still acted like an unwilling young master. There were many others who were similar to her, but they also didn't dare to do anything and obeyed.

When they returned, they were asked several question.

"What did you do before you were asked to return?" A guard asked. He was wearing the armor that only those who were the guards of the Imperial Family were allowed to wear. Because of that, it was easy to recognize him as part of Ji Shu's guards.

"We're hiding to hunt."

"It means there's no one who can see you?"

The three of them looked at each other and Wei Yijun pointed to the rabbit that his servant brought. "A few breaths' time before the guards come, we had just hunted this rabbit and all three of us quarreled with each other."

"Quarrel?"

Wei Liuying nodded. "Yeah, our target is a big boar, but we can only get a rabbit after a long time waiting."

"We should be waiting a bit longer," Xie Jing said under his breath.

The guards recorded their answers before releasing them to join with the others in the villa. Based on what they said, they hunted a rabbit not long after the incident took place in the villa. It would be impossible to travel a far distance within that short period of time.

They were not the only ones as there were many others who were also hunting or chasing their preys when they were called to return. Right now, there were a lot of dissatisfied young masters gathered in the villa, yet not a single one uttered any protest. They were staying obediently on their positions.

"Since we can���t hunt again, let's go our separate ways. I need to have a chat with my father," Xie Jing said with a grunt.

Wei Yijun nodded. He cupped his hand. "Thank you for accompanying today. It's too bad that we can't get the boar."

"We can try again next year."

"Right."

They all exchanged some pleasantries before they walked away. Wei Liuying lightly patted her shoulder. Acting as the young master was a bit tiring as she had to act as a boy for a long period of time.

"Young Master," Huo called from behind.

"What is it?"

"Is it you?"

Wei Liuying arched her eyebrows. She turned around and looked at Huo with her calm eyes. "What makes you think that it's me?"

Huo opened his mouth then closed it again. Wei Liuying's gaze was still the same indifference as usual. Even though there was the air of arrogance that exceedingly similar with Wei Hong Zheng, it was completely different when he was looking at her eyes. The black eyes seemed to be sucking him deeper and deeper without any way out.

She's far scarier compared to Wei Hong Zheng.

"No. It's nothing. This servant is befuddled for a moment, Young Master."

Wei Liuying shrugged and turned around as she walked leisurely. All the young masters were told to gather in the main villa and many of them gathered in the main hall. She proceeded to head there and stayed low key. She didn't want to attract any trouble with that.

Her line of sight immediately landed on her father, who was sitting in the middle of the room with dark lines.

"Father."

"Oh, Hong Zheng, you're here," Wei Hong exclaimed in surprise. "Why do you return back so early?"

"His Highness the Fourth Prince wants us to return back, so we can't disagree," Wei Liuying said with a shrug.

Wei Hong frowned. "Did it interfere with your hunt?"

"I was waiting with First Brother for a boar, but we didn't manage to make it come out yet. So far, we only managed to get a rabbit."

"It's fine. It's hard for a beginner to hunt on the first day," Wei Hong said with a consoling tone. "You can sit here and wait."

"Yes, Father."

Wei Liuying retreated to the back and sat down. A servant served her a cup of tea, which she enjoyed drinking while waiting. Her eyes swept the young masters in the hall as this was her first time joining in a crowd of young masters. Even if she dressed as a man in the past, she had never attended a social meeting like this.

It seemed very different from what she imagined.

Probably because the atmosphere was tense, but everyone in the room was trying hard to erase their presence. They were also seemed to be unwilling to engage in conversation lest that the fourth prince managed to catch some details and chose them to be the scapegoat for the incident.

They didn't want to die yet.

This was a prince that paid little heed to the rules.
