The next morning, someone discovered the tracksof the white wolf near the hunting grounds. The emperor was superbly excitedand brought out a huge regiment of cavalry to hunt it down.

Theladies were equally thrilled at the news.

"The white wolf is a sly animal, whoevercatches it each year is hailed as a hero!"

"Bi Xia had ever caught it alive before, butwhat a pity it died after a few days because it stopped eating and drinking!"

"I've heard that its pelt is warm andcomfortable, so if you wear it in the winter, you won't have to wear anotherfur coat. If it is used to make a fur collar, it'll definitely be gorgeous andimpressive!"

"Yes yes, I wonder who will be the championthis year!"

Everyone was enthusiastically discussing aboutthe highlight of the hunt.

After staying in her tent for three days, sheattracted quite a lot of attention the moment Li Weiyang came out.

"Xianzhu, previously you fell from the horsewhile riding, are you feeling better now?"

"Yes I am, thank you, Liu Xiaojie, for yourconcern." Li Weiyang smiled gently at the Qian Jin1 of the FinanceMinister.

"You're so brave, Rou Fei Niang Niang has beenpraising you; she has been telling everyone that if not for you, Jiu Gongzhuwould have been in danger!" quipped her neighbour Sun Xiaojie. Hailing from amilitary family, Sun Xiaojie admired ladies who were valiant and graceful, soafter hearing how Li Weiyang rushed forward bravely to protect Jiu Gongzhu, sheinevitably had formed a good impression of her.

Li Weiyang smiled modestly. "If Sun Xiaojie hadbeen around, I'm sure you would have done the same, and possibly even betterthan me."

Sun Xiaojie grinned back. That was true, herriding and shooting skills were one of the best.

"You've missed quite a lot of thrilling actionin the two days that you were away! At the moment, San Dianxia and Wu Dianxiaare currently tied at second place, and Qi Dianxia has the lead with mostquarry caught!" Lin Xiaojie was enraptured by the activities at the huntinggrounds.

Li Weiyang glanced into the distance, hearingthe rumble of horse hooves, seeing the clouds of dust they kicked up. Countlessriders were storming the hunting grounds, capturing their prey. It was indeed,a magnificent sight.

"Hng, some people are obviously trying to usetheir wounds to gain attention, flaunting her prowess just because she saved JiuGongzhu. It was only a trivial matter after all!" A cold voice pierced throughthe ruckus.

Li Weiyang arched her brows towards the source,which turned out to be a cool and haughty Gao Min.

Gao Min met her eyes, and her heart skipped abeat. She continued her tirade. "It was only an eagle which spooked the horse,what is there to show off!"

Li Weiyang lowered her gaze. Gao Min's presenceat the scene could not be just a random coincidence. It may be that she waswatching her, or she had something to do with the incident. Either way, she wasdefinitely up to no good.

Li Weiyang gave it some thought, then stood upwith a smile on her face. "That day, I saw how Biao Jie was riding splendidly,I wonder if you would dare to pit your skills against mine?"
