"Let's go up the mountain first. No matter what the result is, how about we meet here in an hour?" Gu Bei spoke first.

Su Lun frowned and said with some concern: "If they act alone, will Princess Yuehua and the Second Miss be in danger if they go up the mountain alone?"

Xiao An Ning burst out laughing and said in a delicate voice: "General Su, don't worry, this is our Xiao family's territory! Yuehua and I are very familiar with this place, and the forest rangers on the mountain are all from my Xiao family. They all know Princess Yuehua and me, there won't be any problems!"

Su Lun still felt uneasy. He looked at everyone seriously and suggested, "Why don't we work in pairs? This way we can look after each other. What do you think?"

Gu Bei thought about it and nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea. Princess Yuehua, I wonder if I would be lucky enough to go with you?"

Princess Yuehua understood that this was exactly what Xiao Anning wanted. If she was in a group with General Gu, then Anning would naturally be in a group with General Su. She smiled and happily agreed: "That's great. I'll trouble General Gu then."

Xiao Anning raised her eyebrows, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and made a "come on" shape to Gu Bei, her eyes revealing encouragement and expectation. However, Gu Bei turned his head away, pretending that he saw nothing, and seemed not to care about her actions. Seeing this, Xiao Anning curled her lips in dissatisfaction, secretly cursing her third brother for not being able to seize the opportunity, but soon she returned to her smile.

Then, she rode slowly to Su Lun's side and said with a smile: "General Su, please give me your guidance later."

When Su Lun heard this, he chuckled and responded, "I'd like to ask the Second Miss to take care of me, a beginner." His tone was humble and teasing.

Xiao Anning raised her eyebrows, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she retorted: "Don't be so modest. To be praised by my third brother, you must be more skilled." Her words were full of confidence and recognition of Su Lun.

The sun shone through the leaves, casting mottled shadows. Su Lun looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's go into the mountains quickly. I'm not familiar with this place. I'll trouble you, Miss, to lead the way."

Xiao An Ning happily responded: "Haha, let's go quickly, we can't lose to Third Brother and Yuehua."

The two walked side by side, walking briskly into the forest. The mountain air was fresh, the scenery was beautiful, and the breeze brought a hint of coolness, which was refreshing.

Along the way, Xiao Anning chattered about some interesting things about his past autumn hunting trips, and Su Lun listened quietly, occasionally chiming in with a faint smile on his face. He found himself enjoying this atmosphere, as if all his troubles were thrown away.

"General Su, there are only little rabbits and the like here. Let's go west." Xiao An Ning suddenly said, pointing ahead.

Su Lun looked in the direction of her finger and nodded. Just as he was about to take a step, he stopped and said seriously, "The rabbit meat in this season is tender and delicious. It will be delicious if it is roasted."

Xiao An Ning's face fell when he heard this, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, "But... the little rabbit is so cute..."

Seeing her like this, Su Lun couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, don't worry, Miss, I was just joking..."

Xiao Anning heaved a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said with lingering fear: "I was scared to death, I thought you were really going to eat the little rabbit..."

Su Lun chuckled and thought: Sure enough, girls have no resistance to cute little animals! Even a person like Miss Xiao Er is the same.

At this moment, Su Lun suddenly spotted a pheasant, so he quickly signaled to Xiao An Ning to keep quiet, then quickly took out his bow and arrow, aimed at the target and shot without hesitation. This time, Su Lun seemed very calm, after all, it was not his first time hunting, so he was not as nervous as he was in Sujia Village. The pheasant let out a mournful cry and then fell to the ground.

Su Lun dismounted and picked up the pheasant. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this pheasant is really heavy, at least seven or eight kilograms. This will definitely be enough meat for today's lunch.

At this moment, Xiao Anning saw this scene and immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "General Su, you are really amazing!"

Hearing her praise, Su Lun touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and said modestly: "It's just good luck. I'll go down and clean it up later and make roast chicken for everyone."

When Xiao Anning heard about making roast chicken, his eyes lit up immediately and he said excitedly, "Then I'll have to look forward to it. Every time you make something, it can bring surprises to people."

Seeing her expectant look, Su Lun couldn't help laughing out loud: "As long as the second young lady likes it. Let's go ahead and take a look." After that, they continued to ride forward.

"General Su, why did you fall behind?" Xiao An Ning talked to himself for a while. Seeing no one answered, he looked back and saw Su Lun was a few steps behind and did not catch up.

It turned out that Su Lun was facing a black snake. Although he had trained his courage in the past few days, he still found it difficult to overcome his fear when facing the thing he feared the most.

"Second Miss, there is a snake." Su Lun said in a trembling voice.

Xiao Anning followed Su Lun's gaze and saw a big black snake spitting out its tongue on the ground. She took two steps forward, took out three darts from her bosom, and quickly shot one, hitting the black snake accurately.

Seeing this, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Anning couldn't help but ask curiously: "General Su, are you afraid of snakes?"

After hearing what Xiao Anning said, Su Lun showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He scratched his head and explained sheepishly: "I have been afraid of these soft, crawling animals since I was a child... Although I have been trying to overcome it, it seems to have no obvious effect."

After hearing this, Xiao Anning frowned slightly and said softly: "This is quite surprising... But you have to be careful, snakes haven't started hibernating yet in this season... Maybe there are other snakes of the same kind around..." Her voice was filled with a hint of worry and nervousness.

Su Lun smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing helplessly: "It seems that my cultivation journey is still very long..."

Xiao Anning looked at Su Lun's depressed look and quickly comforted him: "Don't say that, everyone is afraid of something... In fact, you are already very powerful. Don't worry, if you encounter snakes again, I will definitely help you drive them away." She patted her chest, looking full of confidence.

Su Lun looked at Xiao An Ning gratefully and said sincerely, "Thank you very much, Second Miss."
