Cheng Xin smiled and asked, "Did you bring everyone?"
Mu Yang replied, "Of course, remember our bet?"
Cheng Xin answered, "I certainly hadn't forgotten. How about it? When should we go?"
Chi Jingxi said, "There are too many people now. Let’s wait an hour or so."
Although Mu Yang was eager to go, he knew there were too many people now. To avoid being crowded, it was better to wait a bit before departing.
Being constantly hit by the cold wind, he rubbed his nose. "Let’s go inside. Why bother to stand here? It's so cold outside!"
Mu Yang opened the small door and called Chi Jingxi and Cheng Xin into the room. When Chi Jingxi stepped inside, he happened to see Wen Yantong and Fu Zixian whispering to each other. They both laughed extremely happily.
He only heard Wen Yantong say, "I definitely believe in your archery skills."
Fu Zixian replied with a smile when he saw the three of them had come in. Lightly nudging Wen Yantong with his elbow, he signaled her to look the other way. Wen Yantong also felt the cold wind blowing in, so she immediately closed her mouth and stood up.
When they turned their heads and saw Cheng Xin, Wen Yantong and Fu Zixian both saluted, "Fifth Highness."
Cheng Xin smiled and raised his hand. "It’s fine. How many times do I have to say it, don’t bother with these troublesome etiquettes in private."
Wen Yantong nodded slightly in response, but still didn't dare to look up at Chi Jingxi. She seemed to have returned to the time when she was always cautious, never dared to say an additional word or make an extra action for fear of causing unnecessary attention and trouble.
Everyone sat around the table. As soon as Mu Yang took his seat, he couldn't wait to pull Fu Zixian to sit closer to him. His movements were sticky and greasy, "Little Brother Fu, have you practiced archery recently?"
Fu Zixian was not quite used to it, so he pulled his arm back gently, "I practice every day."
"Great! It's up to you to win that bow today." Mu Yang said with a smile, "You must win it from Brother Xi!"
Cheng Xin added, "Aren't you putting unnecessary pressure on him?"
Mu Yang replied, "I’m just telling him how much I believe in him."
Wen Yantong sighed. Stop talking, Bronzebrains, don’t you see the dark expression on your Brother Xi's face?
Sure enough, Chi Jingxi asked, "I hit three bulls-eyes in the martial arts test while Fu Zixian only hit two. Where did you get the confidence that he can win that bow?"
What he said was very logical. Although Chi Jingxi insinuated Fu Zixian's archery skills were not as good as his, he did not flaunt and say he would definitely win the bow either.
Mu Yang said, "Didn't I say it before? It’s not all about skill, luck also accounts for half!"
Chi Jingxi's brows twitched slightly, "Who do you think is better at archery, Fu Zixian or I?"
Mu Yang answered immediately, "Brother Fu!"
"I didn't ask you." Chi Jingxi casted a tepid glance at him.
Cheng Xin spoke up, "Me? Naturally, I believe Danli’s skills are more superior."
Unexpectedly Chi Jingxi said, "It's not you either."
Cheng Xin couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth and smiled, inwardly shaking his head.
There was a moment of silence on the table, Fu Zixian quietly said, "The Little Marquis' archery skills are better..."
Chi Jingxi glanced at him indifferently, "Shut up."
Fu Zixian seemed to be frightened. He shrunk his neck and blushed.
Almost all the people at the table answered all the questions, but none of them was the one Chi Jingxi wanted to hear his question from. The only person who had yet to speak up was Wen Yantong. The room fell silent immediately, and Chi Jingxi looked at her. There didn’t seem to be any kind of emotion in his eyes, but it made Wen Yantong feel oppressed. She swallowed anxiously and replied, "Perhaps– Perhaps Fu Zixian..."
"You think it's Fu Zixian?" Chi Jingxi's voice became a little cold.
Wen Yantong said, "Or it may be the Little Marquis."
Either it was Wen Yantong's hesitant tone, or her ‘may be’, Chi Jingxi immediately became irked.
He lowered his eyes and did not continue to speak. The atmosphere in the room instantly cooled down. Even Mu Yang didn't dare to snicker or laugh so casually anymore, he was only furiously winking at Wen Yantong.
Wen Yantong's heart felt as if it was riding on a roller coaster, going up and down. She was also aware that Chi Jingxi was angry because of her answer. When he asked her just now, she should have directly said that Chi Jingxi was better than Fu Zixian, tens of thousand times better.
Just when Mu Yang's eyelids were about to go numb from winking, Wen Yantong finally spoke up. She decided to coax Chi Jingxi, so she called out in a low voice, breaking the frosty silence, "Little Marquis."
Fortunately, Chi Jingxi responded. He raised his eyes slightly to look at her, and asked with a grumpy face, "What?"
Wen Yantong was frightened by his tone. The coaxing words she had prepared turned into, "My stomach hurts, I want to go to the toilet."
Chi Jingxi was completely irritated by her. He put the teacup on the table heavily, "Why bother to tell me such things?!"
Wen Yantong was startled. She quickly shrank her head, stood up, put on her shoes, and ran out of the private room.
After coming out, she let out a long sigh of relief. The atmosphere inside is really scary!! She planned to take a stroll and wait for Chi Jingxi to calm down before going back.
