The white, snow-covered field was silent; the serene mystical air surrounded by nothing but white ground. A feeble, elegant deer walked through the snow and made its way toward an exposed piece of grass in the ground.

Lowering its head gracefully, it nibbled on the patch of grass in silence.

Whoosh--!

In swift, sharp movements, an arrow flew across the field toward the wild deer. Before the deer could grasp the situation, the arrow penetrated deeply into its head, piercing into its flesh and bone -killing it on the spot.

Fresh red blood had tainted the field's peaceful solace and quiet tranquility.

Watching the noble creature fall down on the snow ground releasing its last breath; the men stared at it with pitiless eyes.

"Damn it! Another one?"

Striding forward to see the dead creature, the man mounted on the horse tsked. Following behind him on a magnificent, black mount was An Sun.

A faint smile came onto An Sun's face as he looked down at the dead deer he had slain.

"I told you, I always win."

Looking at the smug expression on the handsome man's face, the previous man felt his brows twitch.

"No way, I'll try to beat you! Let me try again!"

A soldier beside him couldn't help but laugh mockingly.

"What's the use in trying? Lord An wins every year, his skills are far too great for you to beat."

Feeling even more irritated, the man tsks.

"You just watch!"

Following his words, the man left with his horse, the other following behind him – bows in hand.

Watching the men speed away, An Sun snorts before steering his horse around only to see Manchu staring at him amusedly.

"Why don't you ever give them the chance to win? It must be frustrating for them to have you win every year."

Glancing at Manchu, an unquenchable, ruthless smirk appeared on An Sun's handsome face.

"Tch, if they can hardly beat me, then what makes you think I'll deliver them a satisfactory win?"

Manchu stared at the handsome man with a dull expression.

This man honestly...

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Nodding his head with a smirk, An Sun swerves his horse around to continue with his hunting. Manchu observes the man leave swiftly and sighs before following behind him.

For the next few hours, the Tuhan men hunted, gradually collecting the hunted animals. As expected, An Sun was in the lead.

Currently, in the woods, An Sun held his bow in hand and scanned the area – his gray eyes inspecting the area intensely.

A buzzing sensation rang in his ears, causing his scanning eyes to focus on a particular area. As he thought, a large deer stood silently in the woods drinking from the icy stream.

In soundless, smooth movements, An Sun pulled out an arrow and carefully aimed it at the deer.

The sound of large deer's cries could be heard echoing throughout the forest as an arrow shot it on its side.
