Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Princess Li Wei 5: The Night Hunt Begins

Everything was clearly very mysterious about this Hua. His name was never known to many. Even Li Wei was also suspicious that Ling Xiao also knew about the name of the man. Hua also only spoke a few words as if afraid if his teeth were seen.

What the fuck!

Even so ... It was a bit strange if Hua didn't know that either. Another case if Hua is not at home and so on. But just as her brother had said, Hua's identity was indeed somewhat frightening.

Ling Xiao smiled. "There is nothing wrong with raising a child, Prince Li Jun. Besides, if he doesn't come then let it go. We can start the Hunt tonight."

Well, actually that's the end of all this debate. They do not need to argue at length, and the result remains a dead end. What is discussed is not here either. Although Li Wei was a little disappointed about that.

"Group ..."

What else would this coriander bud tell me?!

Suddenly Zhang Yuwen rewinded his head again to whisper to Li Wei. "Princess knows ... Many say, if the reason of Hua who is always seen fighting is because of Prince Li Jun. Hua had dared to challenge him, so he ordered to always disturb Hua. Like wanting to make Hua worse in people's eyes."

That was why Wei Wuxie forbade Li Wei to interfere in this matter. Especially with Hua being marked by Li Jun, there was clearly no way for Hua to live quietly. Even so, this still felt unfair to Hua.

Anyhow ... The guy just tried to keep himself from getting hurt, didn't he?

"It's disappointing that Seer Ling isn't firm on the man. Wasn't he the heir of the Ling family you had already established? It feels unfair when fellow heirs do not pass as required to enter the High Court. Is that true, Your Majesty?"

Look even Li Jun was also trying to find allies. Since the beginning of the Hunt Tonight to determine whether or not an heir is worthy to continue his family. If Hua does not participate in the Hunt Tonight, but remains part of the Ling family's heir, then it will create a massive protest.

King Li also still had to keep his duty and stick to the rules he had made. "If he's not in the Night Hunt, then he's unfit to be the heir to the family."

A good decision is one that is fair to all.

It clearly put Ling Xiao's reputation at stake here. Also, about the Ling family ... It was actually a bit unlucky since the Ling family had no heir. In other words, Ling Xiao was the only child in the Ling family. In the generation of Ling Xiao's father, the man was also an only child. Whereas, Ling Xiao's martial will required purity, and he had to remain pure in order to obtain God's blessings. It was Ling Xiao's decision not to get married.

He could be extinct if he didn't raise a family heir.

"What about the follow-up?" someone from behind the crowd. Like this creature sneaking around as everyone else tensed up.

Everyone stared at the source of the voice. And, speaking of course Li Wei. At that time Li Wei saw his father who was massaging the temple because he felt old before his time. But Li Wei was sure what he suggested was best to silence his brother's ego.

Wei Wuxie patted Li Wei's shoulder gently to make sure that Li Wei did not mispronounce. Even Zhang Yuwen laughed indistinctly to make attention. "Daughter Li Wei's intention was that the Princess would overtake us for a walk in the City Center after the Night Hunt. You know not a princess her makeup is as thick as cowhide. Ha ... Ha ... Ha. Isn't that what it is, Princess?"

Due to Zhang Yuwen's behavior, Li Wei saw Officer Zhang reprimanding Zhang Yuwen from his gaze. Obviously, Officer Zhang doesn't want his son involved in this. Even so, Zhang Yuwen also did not want Li Wei to get involved in this matter.

Li Wei shook his head. "I mean is ... If you do not want Hua to affect the course of the Hunt Tonight, then we better not have to wait for him. We can start the hunt as it was set, and let Hua catch up later. As much as any quarry Hua got was his result, even though he started late rather than anything else."

Li Jun sighed, "My sister, are you talking like this because you believe it must come?"

This guy is always good at getting other people in trouble. Li Jun would definitely look for the weakness of his interlocutor just to look guilty. If Li Wei had interfered let alone admitted that she believed in Hua, people would see Li Wei as a guarantee. If Hua was absent, then Li Wei would be said to be the 'disappointed' part'. Until later all the resentment will come more to Hua because it has neglected Li Wei's belief.

Especially with the reputation of Li Wei who received love from many people. Others would pity Li Wei so much, and knock Hua down even harder. It would be a new pain for the man.

Yet Li Wei somehow dared to reply, "I believe him, Big Brother."

After all, Li Wei had a promise to bet with Hua.

Ling Xiao gave Li Wei his smile. Somehow Li Wei seemed to see there was sadness on the man's face at a glance. Perhaps Li Wei never knew what the man saw. It's just ... Li Wei could not let trouble happen in front of him.

King Li nodded his head. "As Princess Li Wei said, I don't think there will be any more injustice here. The time of the hunt for each participant begins is the same."

If the man doesn't come, then that's business later. But at least Li Wei's suggestion could turn off Li Jun's actions to provoke anyone. If later this is debated again, then it will be from a closed room, in the High Court.

Li Jun was unwilling to accept what King Li had already decided. The man sat back in his place. So was Ling Xiao who looked at Li Wei with an illegible gaze. Then, the man paid his respects to Li Wei, and it made him unwillingly welcome that respect.

Li Wei lowered his head to reply.

"Actually everything that happens is always connected to destiny" the man said with a smile on his face.

Li Wei had never understood what Ling Xiao meant. Well, if every human being can know and understand, then there is never regret. That is what is common in this world.

***

Li Wei stared in surprise at Zhang Yuwen who complained many times. Even as they were choosing bows and arrows Zhang Yuwen still sighed. Maybe this guy mostly eats the neighbor's news bullshit until his life is not frenetic if there are no rumors.

Wei Wuxie helped Li Wei to collect the arrows into the leather bag. As usual Wei Wuxie was a person who finished faster than anyone else. So that he now helped Li Wei to prepare his arrow. Now Li Wei was testing the arrow that he was about to use, but was again interrupted by the sound of Zhang Yuwen's horse-like breath.

"What?" challenge Li Wei who was ready to kick Zhang Yuwen's head with the tip of his shoe.

Zhang Yuwen put on a pouting face. "I heard from the other disciples if Hua was already behind the protection of the Princess."

"Then, why? It's not like I'm really protecting her" Li Wei replied indifferently.

Wei Wuxie took over the conversation for not wanting to see Zhang Yuwen thrown by Li Wei. "The princess knows it's not that Prince Li Jun doesn't like Hua's man very much."

This was just like Li Wei protecting the target from her brother.

"It's up to what everyone else says. We must immediately choose the arrow, because we will start the Night Hunt after sunset" Li Wei said as he observed the bow he chose.

Although they gathered in the morning, but the location of the Night Hunt was a test in itself. Well, it's like they have to go inside the designated location. Then, find the real entrance. He said, that location is a stone labyrinth.

Who is slow to enter it is his incompetence. Even they were not escorted towards this 'Buruan. They have to search for themselves, and brain-twist. It seemed like King Li was really serious about his rules.

It's noon now. That's because they have a lot of rules to talk about.

As for the Hunt Tonight, there is only one weapon they can use, the arrow. It is also unknown whether it was an animal or just a sign or a paper. That's something they should know for themselves.

Another rule was that they had to use bows and arrows provided by the Kingdom. The number of arrows there are only five, which means the highest total of the quarry is five.

That means that if it fails to archery once, then it is like throwing away an opportunity for a point. And so on, so that they had to ascertain the correct direction of their arrows. If not, then they will just waste their time and get 0 as a value.

Also, they have been watched by an invisible supervisor. In this sense, the Kingdom brought the Night Army to watch. So that no one can steal arrows from other participants, and no one can pick up arrows that have been aired.

All of the disciples in this Li Wei class clearly did not accept the truth, because the difficulty of this year was greater than the difficulties of previous years.

Even so, they could not do anything when the drum had been pitched. The regulation was already approved by all Royal Officials, which meant their fathers also agreed to it. So that they can only accept, and pray at least they have one point.

There are many ways to collect value later. However, the Night Hunt was their way of being seen in His Majesty's eyes. If their other training is usually in the room or even just supervised by Master. Imagine how great the pressure of the Hunt Tonight is.

However, Li Wei turned more and more to the previous debate.

"Daughter really cares about her?" wei Wuxie asked in a flat tone as usual.

Wei Wuxie was indeed quite calm and flat, but Wei Wuxie was still as quiet as usual. Unlike Hua it's the mute ones sometimes. Wei Wuxie still spoke at length, and everyone could understand her.

But Hua's man was not like that. He won't say anything. Even if it offended him, insulted him, or a friend request like Li Wei did. That's what makes things even harder for Hua.

"I can't let Hua fail. It's because I'm sure he can be a great person if his name is big in this Kingdom." Li Wei was clearly talking about potential.

As far as Li Wei could see, Ling Xiao had reason to keep Hua within his protection. Li Wei also had reason above all that. More than anything Hua's flat face felt like it was empty.

This guy feels so empty. That was what his own grief was for Li Wei. I don't know why he cares so much about this.

"Daughter ..."

Li Wei smiled at Wei Wuxie, "I know, Wuxie. I'm not helping him with anything. It depends on him now. If Hua comes, then good. If no. That's the decision."

Zhang Yuwen again appeared beside them. It seemed like Zhang Yuwen was gathering the latest news from the surrounding disciples. So, just ignore this Zhang Yuwen.

"I heard that there are some who excel in the Hunt Tonight. Like they have an estimate of who gets the best score" Zhang Yuwen said.

Without mentioning Li Wei had already guessed that Zhang Yuwen was also being tagged in the Hunt Tonight. Actually Li Wei also admitted it, because Zhang Yuwen was very fast, and Wei Wuxie was definitely also among the underdogs in the conversation. That was because Wei Wuxie's prediction as the best disciple would obviously make anyone dare not argue about it.

Also, ...

"The Hua Man ... Many say that the man will excel. Well, if he's present. The rest are Wei Wuxie, Princess Li Wei, and myself," Zhang Yuwen explained as he played the bow strings to ascertain his strength.

It seemed like many were acknowledging the dark man's prowess. However, just as Zhang Yuwen had said, they did not dare to openly meng Hua. Moreover, they also did not dare to get close to the Hua man for fear of being strangled by the cold and cruel man.

Wei Wuxie stared at Zhang Yuwen, "How come you're still busy with this conversation, when real training is in sight?"

"Gathering information is important, Wuxie. After all, we have to choose a door that is different from others, or our quarry will be targeted by others. So we need to know their strategy," explained Zhang Yuwen who this time made a bit of sense.

Li Wei frowned. "But, the hunt tonight is a group or not? Wouldn't we go in groups be like fighting with our own friends?"

It seems like King Li is not responsible in providing training. Even matters such as which friends are willing to make sacrifices, or who betrayed whom will be found in this Cloud Training. They had no idea what they were hunting, nor were they guided to go inside.

It could be that the Hunt Tonight can also separate friendships that were forged for so long.

"If I will definitely let the Princess shoot first," Zhang Yuwen said in an exaggerated fashion.

It made Li Wei give the gesture of wanting to hit Zhang Yuwen with his bow. "No one gives up on me. If you dare to do so, I won't draw a single arrow."

In other words, Li Wei asked these two to hunt to the best of their abilities. After all, the future of these two people obviously should not be undermined just because they are friends with him. Far from everything Li Wei believed that they would not ignore Li Wei's orders.

"Okay, Princess," they answered in unison. I don't know because of what. Maybe they made a deal.

***

The night began to come, and that meant they were closer to the beginning of the Night Hunt.

Li Wei went back to check on the disciples. He realized that Hua had not come yet. This man had never really taken seriously what Li Wei had promised him last night.

Li Wei tied her leather bag by hooking a rope to pass around her shoulders and chest. He did it while looking around. Li Wei did not realize that he was checking the situation around more.

Zhang Yuwen and Wei Wuxie were also ready to enter the stone labyrinth. From the results of the discussion, they chose to enter from the side of the labyrinth. Most students choose the front door. That obviously can't make them scramble.

Imagine their difficulties.

The disciples did not know what they were hunting. Moreover, their equipment was only an arrow bow and his son. The arrows are only five available, and there is no tolerance when not hitting the target. Also, the location is unknown to them, and the number of game is also unknown. Their numbers were also quite numerous, and this location was like forcing them to fight against a fellow friend. Then, they did it at night and the illumination was just a torch, which either lit up brightly or not in the stone labyrinth.

It's like a cow being told to write a romantic poem! Although it is romantic whatever the content, humans who read it do not necessarily understand.

Maybe my father is trying to teach a lesson to an official who can only use the family title, but his ability is not there.

SRETT!

Li Jun appeared before them. The training students paid their respects. As already mentioned, Li Jun was the person in charge of Cloud Training. This man was clearly the one who gave the cue to begin with.

Li Wei and his two friends were at the corner. Then, Li Jun very deliberately approached Li Wei. His older brother patted both of Li Wei's small shoulders, and smiled rather cynically.

"I hope you can humiliate me, Li Wei. As you said before. I just want to know if your actions in dealing with the matter are as good as your own words," Li Jun said, referring to Li Wei's remarks to her a few days ago.

How could Li Wei accept the challenge, right? It made Li Wei pat her brother's back hand which was still on Li Wei's shoulder. "Thank you for your attention, Brother."

"Also ..."

Li Jun suddenly brought his lips closer to Li Wei's ear to whisper. "I'm not sure that man can come, Li Wei."

This guy must have done something!

Without being able to say anything more, Li Wei looked at Li Jun who ordered the big drumbeater to start.

DONG!

That loud noise was the beginning of the Hunt Tonight.

Li Wei could only turn around to run into the stone labyrinth. More than anything ... He should be focusing on the Night Hunt.

The Night Hunt Time has just begun. There is still time for Hua to catch up.

If it's not time to end, don't give up!

Usually people suck it's life is longer. So, he was sure Hua would be able to survive and participate in the Night Hunt.
