Chapter 689 - His Views

Xu Wenhai gazed at Yin Na, who was a little nervous. "I want to tell something to the son of Lord Xu," Yin Na said out of the blue.

"Sure, Miss Yin Na," Xu Wenhai permitted her.

"I used to be an entertainer in the Brothel House. I am not the real sister of Brother Wang. He saved me at the time of war and since then considers me as his sister." Yin Na did not want to keep any secrets from him as it would lead to some serious repercussions later.

"Miss Yin Na, I know. Your Father has told everything to my Father," Xu Wenhai said. Yin Na nodded her head.

"So, does Xu Wenhai have no problem with my past?" Yin Na asked him while pronouncing his name.

"No. However, we will not marry each other until we find out everything about each other, get comfortable with each other. I promise you that from my end, you will not face any kind of problem," Xu Wenhai stated. "Umm… it would be good if we will not be formal while conversing with each other," he opined.

"You could have found better women than me. However, you agreed to meet me. May I know the reason?" Yin Na asked him.

"What is the definition of a 'better woman'?Could you please explain it to me?" Xu Wenhai asked her.

"You know why I am asking such a question. When I was an entertainer, I served many men of the Empire," Yin Na answered. Her fingers kept moving onto each other.

"I never met any 'better woman'. I do not know how to describe this word in the context of a woman. Is it her etiquette or her values that make her a better woman?" Xu Wenhai answered. "However, this tiny conversation between us has assured me that you definitely fit in the category of a 'better woman'," Xu Wenhai pronounced.

Yin Na was impressed by the words of Xu Wenhai. So, Huo Jin was right! Xu Wenhai was a nice man with great respect for women. But it's only a first few minutes with him, so she might have missed many things which he would have hidden from him.

Xu Wenhai snapped his fingers in front of her eyes. "Where did you get lost?" He asked her.

"Nothing," she replied.

"Are you learning Archery these days?" Xu Wenhai asked her and she wondered how he found out. "Your fingers have marks which usually come while learning Archery," he clarified her doubt.

"Yes. I thought about learning it. It is difficult though," she said.

"May I know why you are learning it? Is it because you are the sister of General Wang?" He questioned her.

Yin Na thought whether to tell him about the main aim behind learning Archery or not. What if he would laugh at her? Not everyone was like Huo Jin, who would understand her.

"This sport attracted me," Yin Na replied.

Xu Wenhai nodded his head. "Would you like to do archery with me?" He queried her.

"Huh?" "I am new at this," Yin Na answered. "I might end up wasting your precious time," stated Yin Na.

"It's fine. From an elite class family, it is rare to find a woman who has an interest in such sports. I might be a help in your learning journey," he affirmed with a proud smile. Yin Na smiled back and agreed with him.

"Tomorrow is Brother Wang's wedding. I don't think I will be able to come for archery," Yin Na immediately told him as she recalled the grand wedding day of her elder brother.

"We can have a small friendly match now," Xu Wenhai stated.

"What about our families which are waiting for us?" Yin Na asked him.

"They gave us time to know about each other," Xu Wenhai replied. "Then, what about this? We will have a friendly match the day after your elder brother's marriage," he suggested to her.

Yin Na immediately agreed to it. "However, I will tell you beforehand. I am still a beginner in archery, so I will only lose. I request you not to laugh at me for my poor skills," Yin Na stated her point.

Xu Wenhai found it amusing. "I will not laugh at you. I promise," he said. "Also, don't underestimate yourself. You might be poor in the beginning, but you will surely become a good archer in a few months," he affirmed.

"Really?" "But he said that it takes a lot of time to become a good archer," Yin Na asserted.

"May I know who?" Xu Wenhai asked as he got confused.

"Huo Jin," Yin Na answered. Xu Wenhai recalled the name.

"May I know how you know Huo Jin?" He was unaware of the fact that Huo Jin was living in the same house as Yin Na.

"He lives with us," Yin Na replied. "Does Xu Wenhai know about him?" She then queried him.

"I have heard about him in the Palace. Though, I never met him. I heard that he helped His Majesty when the situation in the Northern Province was not favorable to us," Xu Wenhai replied.

"Yes. He helped us," Yin Na said.

"Are you learning archery from him?"

"Yes. Brother Wang is busy so I don't intend to disturb him," Yin Na answered.

"I will teach you from now on. It doesn't take years to become a good archer. Your diligence and efficiency can make you achieve the target in months," Xu Wenhai answered. Somewhere, he did not like that Huo Jin was teaching Yin Na about archery. Also, he does not like him as a person.

In his eyes, Huo Jin was still a traitor. But to protect himself, he decided to help the Han Empire. But these were his views about him.

"Huo Jin is a good person, Xu Wenhai. He selflessly helps everyone around him," Yin Na complimented Huo Jin. Xu Wenhai passed her a tiny smile.

"Let's go back to the guest hall.. Our families must be waiting for us," He advised her and the two walked away.
