Chapter 41: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
"I'll bet with you!"
After calming down her father, Chen Xue walked out in front of everyone's surprised gaze.
"Are you sure?"
Kuang Wei was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Chen Xue to take the initiative, but after a moment of hesitation, he showed extreme delight.
Although he didn't know where Chen Xue's confidence came from, he didn't care at all because there was no way he would lose in hunting.
He grew up in the mountains since he was a child, making a living by hunting. Later, when his family's savings were depleted, they managed to get him a position as a Bailiff.
Later on, he discovered that being a banished Bailiff was the most profitable. It took a lot of effort to get in touch with Captain Sun and become a member of the banished group.
Although he became a Bailiff, his hunting skills didn't diminish. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to join the banished Bailiff group, attracting a group of followers.
After all, following him meant there was meat to eat.
"Everyone saw it! She's the one who wants to bet with us!" Kuang Wei looked around with joy, loudly declaring to ensure that everyone heard it, to prevent Chen Xue from backing out.
After speaking, he looked at Chen Xue with a smile, "That's right, let's bet on who catches more prey. If we lose, we'll apologize to you, and if we win, you'll accompany us."
Kid, you're doomed!
Before Chen Xue could speak, Chen Yuan stared fiercely at Kuang Wei, thinking about whether to rush up and kill him.
But considering that his daughter had a plan, he gave up.
Well, let's wait until tonight. When it's quiet and dark, quietly kill him. That way, no one will know.
While Chen Yuan was lost in his thoughts, Chen Xue frowned and said, "This doesn't seem fair, does it? If you lose, just apologizing is too simple, right?"
"What do you want then?"
Chen Xue narrowed her eyes, "If you lose, you have to run three laps around the exiled group and shout 'I am a pig.'"
She was quite petty. These people dared to have designs on her; she wouldn't let them off easily.
Although she couldn't kill them, she could ruin their reputation, which would be even more unbearable than killing them.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Kuang Wei and the others' faces changed drastically, and they immediately refused without hesitation.
Are you kidding? The exiled group was so long, with so many people, and shouting 'I am a pig'? Where would they put their faces?
By then, this matter would probably spread throughout the capital, and they wouldn't have the face to go back. When they did, they would be ridiculed.
"What's wrong? Afraid of losing?" Chen Xue taunted, "Just now, you were so confident, now where's your courage?"
As she spoke, she gave a signal to Xu Tian, who didn't understand. Chen Yuan had to give him a push and remind him.
Xu Tian stumbled forward and, after steadying himself, quickly stepped forward, "Tsk tsk tsk, I knew you were afraid of losing. If you don't dare to bet, apologize to Master Chen now."
Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, everyone was furious, "Are we afraid of you?"
They all knew about Xu Tian's incompetence in hunting. They had never seen him succeed in hunting.
How could they fear someone so useless at hunting? Each of them could easily catch a bunch of prey.
Initially, they hesitated because they were worried about any tricks Chen Xue might have. Now, they realized that Chen Xue had no weapons, no experience, and most importantly, she had a teammate who was a complete idiot.
They were all experienced hunters. How could they possibly lose?
Moreover, the thought of winning and getting Chen Xue made them feel excited. They had seen many women, but she was the most beautiful they had ever seen.
Truly a young lady from a rich family.
For a moment, Kuang Wei was brimming with confidence, "Who's afraid of you? We'll bet!"
"But..."
Chen Xue changed the subject, making Kuang Wei's heart skip a beat, thinking she was about to back out. Just as he was about to say something, he heard her continue.
"However, who knows if you'll back out if you lose?"
"Back out?"
Kuang Wei and the others were stunned. They hadn't even considered the possibility of losing. But now that Chen Xue mentioned it, they realized.
They could just back out if they lost. After all, nobody could force them.
However, it seemed that Chen Xue had already considered that they might back out. If she didn't trust them, she probably wouldn't bet with them at all.
"What do you want to do?" Kuang Wei asked, his eyes flashing. He guessed Chen Xue's intention, but couldn't figure it out. After all, it was just a few words, and it wouldn't harm him in any way.
In the end, he agreed and decided to go first.
The two of them walked aside, away from the others, where their conversation couldn't be heard.
"Look into my eyes."
Upon hearing Chen Xue's words, although confused, Kuang Wei subconsciously looked into her eyes.
However, just as he raised his head, Kuang Wei began to feel a bit dizzy. Then, he heard Chen Xue's voice.
"What are you most afraid of being exposed?"
Kuang Wei hesitated, but ultimately answered honestly, "I'm most afraid of the matter between me and Captain Sun's wife being exposed."
Damn it! Captain Sun had become a big deal.
Indeed, it was a big deal!
If Captain Sun found out, killing him would be considered letting him off lightly. It would probably be difficult for Captain Sun to forgive him even if he was chopped into ten thousand pieces.
Chen Xue then asked Kuang Wei for more details about the situation and made him reveal other sensitive information before undoing the hypnosis.
"What's wrong with me?"
Kuang Wei felt a bit dizzy, and it took him a while to remember that Chen Xue wanted to talk to him. "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing!"
Chen Xue dismissed him and then proceeded to use the same technique on others, making them reveal their secrets and recording them with a voice recorder.
"Alright, our competition will have a time limit, right?"
"One hour!"
"Good!"
After Kuang Wei and his men left, Xu Tian hurried over anxiously. "Miss Chen, why did you agree to bet with them so easily? This... is too..."
Xu Tian didn't know what to say. Kuang Wei and his men were very skilled in hunting, and all the yamen runners in the banished group knew that.
"Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Chen Xue suddenly asked.
"... "
Xu Tian wanted to say that how could he lack confidence in himself, but he couldn't say it. He... really lacked confidence.
So, he turned to Chen Yuan helplessly and asked, "Lord Chen, why didn't you stop her?"
"It's fine." Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with killing intent, "Even if we lose, it's okay. I'll just kill them all."
Xu Tian: "..."
They're insane, completely insane!
But thinking that the person in front of him was Chen Yuan, whom he respected and admired, Xu Tian felt that the crazy one should be him.
