Chapter 122 Wen Yantong: Mark my words, this bow is mine! (2)
Mu Yang originally wanted to wave his hand to tell the shopkeeper to chase the people away, but Chi Jingxi interrupted, "Explain."
The shopkeeper immediately said, "It's actually quite simple. Each person is given three arrows. As long as all three leaves are strung on the arrow shaft and hit the bull's-eye, this Snow Jade Lotus Bow will be presented by this humble one with both hands."
Wen Yantong was dumbfounded after hearing the shopkeeper’s explanation. That’s considered simple? She glanced at the three ropes dangling on stage.
It would be fine if there was one moving, but all three ropes were swaying. It would be near impossible to hit all three leaves, let alone hit the bull's-eye. Even if the target was only nine meters away, it was still a very difficult feat.
Looking at the swaying leaves, Mu Yang also fell silent.
Cheng Xin continued to ask, "Anything else?"
The shopkeeper continued, "One more thing. After each arrow is loaded onto the bow, the arrow must be shot within ten blinks."
Ten blinks. According to an average of one blink every two seconds, it meant that the arrow must be shot within half a minute.
Mu Yang’s eyes widened, and immediately became fierce, "What kind of bullshit rules are these! Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult?!"
The shopkeeper replied with a smile on his face, "This is also the shop owner's decision. The owner said that the Golden Pattern Snow Jade Arched Lotus Auspicious Ruyi Bow is a treasure left behind by a renowned expert, and it must be paired with an equally talented archer."
Was the name of this bow always this long?!
"What do you mean!" Mu Yang slapped the table angrily, "You mean our archery skills are fake?"
The surrounding people all glanced over. Wen Yantong was startled and pulled Mu Yang’s arm hastily to calm him down.
Cheng Xin also appeased, "Yang’er, there are so many people here, don't mess around."
Mu Yang said angrily, "They aren’t really giving this bow up fairly!"
The shopkeeper repeated, "This humble one has no say in any of this."
Mu Yang was unappeased. Seeing that he was going to continue to cause another disturbance, Chi Jingxi stopped him, "Stop it."
Mu Yang became chestfallen, and sat on the chair angrily. Wen Yantong also felt that the situation was not so great.
Before coming here, she had known it was going to be hard to win the Snow Jade Lotus Bow. Afterall, it was a famous treasure, of course it was impossible for someone to take it away easily. However, she didn’t expect the problem to be this difficult.
As Mu Yang said, if they wanted to win this Snow Jade Lotus Bow, they would also need to rely on luck. If one wanted to wait for the three leaves to gather at the bull's-eye, it couldn’t just be ordinarily good luck.
It had to be godsent good luck.
But Chi Jingxi had been dragged here by Mu Yang. With so many people watching, if he missed all three arrows, he would definitely be laughed at by all of Chaoge. Especially those who don't like Chi Jingxi.
In contrast, if Fu Zixian missed his three arrows, he would only be laughed at by his family members. This was the difference in status and positions.
Wen Yantong glanced sideways, and saw that Chi Jingxi's face was calm, and she couldn't read any emotion.
She nodded to Mu Yang and whispered, "Let's change places."
Mu Yang was so angry that he didn't want to care about anything. He changed places with Wen Yantong without even asking why.
When Wen Yantong sat down, she pretended to be blind and left half a footprint on Chi Jingxi's shoe.
Chi Jingxi felt pain in his foot, so he looked down and saw an obvious footprint on his usually clean and delicate brocade boot. The print was quite obvious, so he immediately became angry, "Have your eyes been blinded by lard?"
Wen Yantong cried out and said, "Little Marquis, I'm really sorry, I didn't see clearly just now."
After she spoke, she spat on her palm, and bent down, "I'll wipe it off for you."
Chi Jingxi immediately moved his feet, picked up Wen Yantong by her back collar, and scolded, "Are you trying to disgust me to death? Don't touch me with your saliva-stained trotters."
Wen Yantong rubbed her palms and nodded with a smile. She then turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Let me go up first."
As soon as her words came out, everyone around her was startled. Mu Yang's eyes widened even more, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay in the head?"
Even Fu Zixian spoke out, "Wen Yantong, do you really want to go up?"
Chi Jingxi was also taken aback. Thinking that Wen Yantong may have been stimulated by his scolding, and wanted to go up in a fit of anger, he said, "If you insist on touching my shoes with your hand...it's not impossible .”
Wen Yantong laughed, "I also want to have a go. I have always practiced my archery. It's only three arrows, even if I miss, there’s nothing to lose."
If she really missed, her archery can help Chi Jingxi's. With her as a foil, Chi Jingxi wouldn’t be laughed at as hard.
Wen Yantong had already thought it over, so naturally she didn't listen to their persuasion. She stepped up and stood on the stage under everyone's gaze, and took hold of the bow and arrows.
She turned her head to look at Chi Jingxi under the stands, and the densely packed people standing around her. Wen Yangtong took a deep breath, and then drew the bow and shot the arrow in one go.
The surroundings were silent, and her eyes were filled with three swaying ropes and dangling leaves at the end. She waited for a while, and when the person next to her was about to blow the time-out whistle, Wen Yantong let go of her hand. The arrow flew off the string. Dung! It nailed itself onto the target.
Then came the sound of three small sandbags falling to the ground.
The arrow had hit the bullseye.
There were also three leaves on the shaft of the arrow.

The twenty-fourth year of the Ruixing Decade.
It’s the fifteenth day of the first lunar month:
I'm so sad.
I thought it would be Fu Zixian… or Brother Xi at least, but I never dreamed that it would be Wen Yantong! !
My bow...
I’m sobbing…
