The other girl wasn't important; what the officers really wanted to know was Shu Yu's thoughts.
He turned his head towards Shu Yu, "What do you think?"
Shu Yu had no objections. Honestly, she'd rather go alone than with these men who completely looked down on her.
So, she nodded, "I can."
Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, the officer said, "Alright, that's settled then. You two will hunt on the outskirts while the rest go deeper into the mountains, we can set out now."
The men present immediately turned and walked away, as if they feared if they delayed, Shu Yu and her partner would change their minds and follow them.
It wasn't until they had left the Manor that people began to mutter quietly.
"Women should just obediently clear the fields or burn charcoal, why bother joining a hunting party? Truly seeking death."
"Isn't it? Judging by her appearance, she would probably struggle even to carry two chickens, she'll just bring us trouble."
