By the time the lunch was over, Concubine Qu was thoroughly exhausted. Nan Hou Xiang nearly got into a brawl and fought Shangguan Die. If not for the last bit of rationality left in his head, he might have already done so from a long time ago.

Nan Hua and Nan Luo left the place with indifferent expression, clearly not care of the mess they had caused.

"That Miss Shangguan is quite something." Nan Luo was amazed by how Shangguan Die drove Concubine Qu to the corner with just her words. It seemed that she was thoroughly enraged by what Concubine Qu did.

"Don't be like her."

"Ah? Do you really think that I can be like that?" Nan Luo laughed and shook his head. "There's no way I can possibly do that. Also, I have no intention of repeating the same thing as what that woman did. I'm not in a hurry to create trouble for others."

"She'll get in trouble sooner or later." Nan Hua could guess that based on Shangguan Die's personality, she wouldn't last long if she was placed in other family. Thankfully, Shangguan Die had both the beauty and status.

If not, it was clear that she would have been miserable.

But from the way Shangguan Die kept on looking for trouble, Nan Hua knew that Shangguan Die wouldn't be able to keep this up forever. If she was not careful and fell to the trap of other people, it was clear that there would be a time when she would be the one to suffer terribly.

Nan Luo tilted his head. "You don't think she's a good person."

"She's a troublemaker."

"But she helped us!"

"She target whoever she wants." Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. "She has too many enemies and put her pride before anything else."

"Ah…" Nan Luo scratched the back of his head. He was thinking that Nan Hua could finally get a good girl friend, but as it turned out, it would be impossible. Befriending Shangguan Die meant that they would gain a lot of enemies.

Not to mention, Shangguan Die herself had such a fiery temper that would not allow herself be in disadvantageous situation.

It was not really ideal for them.

"Forget it then. By the way, do you also want to eat meat? I should have snatched a few more from the dishes back then, but I was not really in the mood to eat with those people around." Nan Luo looked at his twin sister with grin.

Nan Hua had a bad feeling.

"Let's go and hunt by ourselves!"

Nan Hua: "…"

Hou Liang, who was hiding and following them, nearly fell from his hiding place. He wanted to scream. 'Young Master, are you really looking for trouble?!'

It was fine to ask for servants to hunt but if the young master and young miss themselves went to hunt, it would surely cause some troubles. How could it be fine when they were not allowed to leave the temple ground.

"You don't want to?" Nan Luo asked when he saw Nan Hua was silent. He waved his hand. "I'm just thinking that it'll be fun. We're basically doing nothing here either way, so I'm thinking that it's going to be very fun to hunt!"

Nan Hua had the feeling that the one who wanted to eat meat the most was actually her twin brother. She raised her hand and patted his head. "We can go hunt if you want to."

"Let's go then!"

"Now?"

"Of course!"

Seeing her excited twin brother, Nan Hua followed him to the forest. Before they entered the forest, Nan Luo returned home and took his wooden sword. He noticed Nan Hua staring at the wooden sword.

"Well, we need weapon to hunt, right?"

"Can you hunt with sword?" Nan Hua asked back. From what she knew, one usually hunt with bow and arrow rather than a sword. Looking the sword in Nan Luo's hand, she began to suspect that Nan Luo didn't know how to hunt.

Nan Luo's face turned red. "I… can't find any bow and arrow."

Nan Hua was speechless.

She took out several needles from her sleeves. "Can you use this?"

Staring at the needles in Nan Hua's hand, Nan Luo was silent for a moment before grinning. "Of course."

"I'll lend this to you."

"Okay!"

The twins then sped up in the forest, heading towards the wall at the other side of the quarter. Behind them, Hou Liang was contemplating whether to stop the two of them or not. But seeing the excited look on Nan Luo's face and the obedient Nan Hua, he didn't have the heart to stop them.

'Oh well, I'll let the two of them have fun after dealing with the Concubine and the Fiery Shangguan Die.'

Swish!

The moment they reached the wall, the two of them moved swiftly climbed the tree then leapt to the top of the wall. The movement was done extremely swift and fast. There was not even any moment of hesitation as they jumped down. They landed perfectly on the ground and stopped.

With Nan Hua limiting her speed, the two of them moved in perfect rhythm.

"Where do you want to go, Hua'er?" Nan Luo asked while putting his hand on the back of his head. Now that he was no longer under the gaze of so many servants around, he felt freer and happy.

Nan Hua looked around and pointed to one direction. "Let's head there."

"Alright!"

They were up in the mountain but there were still many trees and there were even areas where there were many grasses. The two of them walked swiftly but they made sure that they were not too far deep into the forest.

This way, they would be able to return swiftly should something happen.

Tep!

"This should be a good place. Hua'er, don't you see that there are some traces on the ground?" Nan Luo pointed to the ground. "The branches are snapped and the wet ground shows some small footsteps. This area should be the place for some rabbits to play around. If we stay here, we might be lucky enough to find some."

Nan Hua nodded. She had enough knowledge regarding hunting since she had lived in the forest for a considerable amount of time. During that time, she obviously relied on the small animals to survive.

Rabbits included.

"Do you want to wait?"

There were three methods to hunt. First was to wait in the area where the animals often visited and if they were lucky enough, the animals would pass when they were still hiding. The second was hunt the animals down, but this method would require them to venture deep into the forest. For their current condition, it was not exactly suitable. The third was to set trap for the animals.

But they didn't really bring anything to trap the animals.

Nan Luo nodded. "Yes, we can just wait here. There are some other better places to wait, but this one is pretty near and we might be able to get some rabbits. It's pretty good."

"Ok."

Without any instructions, the two of them climbed to the tree and sat down there. The two trees were side by side and they quickly hid their presence as they used the leaves to cover up their location.

Hou Liang was watching from a distance away, knowing that the two of them would be fine. He now wondered whether he should appear and help the two brats or not since there were several rabbits nearby.

'I'll just let them test their luck then.'

Staying silent and did nothing was normally quite hard, but the twins didn't even make any noise as they waited. They didn't even move at all from their hiding place as if they were nothing more than statue.

After an incense stick of time, there were some movements from the bushes.

Plop!

A rabbit jumped out and looked around. It didn't seem to notice the danger that was lurking on top of the tree nearby.

Nan Hua passed a glance at Nan Luo and saw her twin brother nodded. He had prepared the needle on his finger as his attention fell on the rabbit before him. The corner of his lips curled up to form a smirk.

Swish! Jleb!

The rabbit couldn't even do anything before it fell down, unmoved.

Jump!

Nan Luo jumped down and grabbed the rabbit. He looked up to the tree where Nan Hua was hiding. "See, I can use the needles! Uncle Hou let me practice with it so that I have some basic knowledge."

Nan Hua nodded and jumped down. Uncle Hou here refer to Hou Lin, who was usually hiding in the darkness. After all, Hou Liang couldn't handle something as small as needles as good as Hou Lin.

While this was a method of assassination, who would care what method they used in the war?

All is fair in war.
