The others had already left. In the hall, Yu Qian and Wei Zimu were still sitting and not moving.
“Why don’t you go and see her?” Yu Qian glanced at Wei Zimu.
Wei Zimu looked at the time. “Didn’t you have a meeting with someone? Aren’t you leaving?”
Yu Qian put down the glass of water in his hand. “Let’s go.”
He stood up and the staff immediately walked forward.
“We’ll leave first. I’ll get someone to contact your prince for the details.” Yu Qian said and walked out.
Wei Zimu took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to the staff. “Please give this to Xia Wanyuan. Thank you.”
The staff took the box. “Okay.”
Yu Qian seemed to have expected Wei Zimu to delay for a while. When Wei Zimu went out, Yu Qian was waiting for him at the door.
“Are you done?” Yu Qian looked at Wei Zimu with a faint smile.
Wei Zimu ignored his question. “Aren’t you leaving? Isn’t it nine?”
Yu Qian snorted softly and turned to leave. Wei Zimu followed him. Soon, the two of them disappeared at the entrance of the palace.
At this moment, in the shooting range in the backyard of the palace, all the necessary equipment had been prepared.
Li Qingxue was talking to Earl Dray, looking at Xia Wanyuan from time to time.
Xia Wanyuan stood beside Jun Shiling and took a sip of the water Jun Shiling handed her.
“Are you tired?” Jun Shiling tucked the hair behind Xia Wanyuan’s ear.
“I’m okay. Appropriate training is beneficial to the child.” Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling, revealing her shallow dimples.
Li Qingxue was furious. When Earl Dray walked over, he saw his daughter with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing Li Qingxue look at Xia Wanyuan sadly, he naturally thought that Xia Wanyuan was targeting Li Qingxue because of Jun Shiling.
“Mrs. Jun, may I ask what my daughter has done to you? Why are you treating her like this?”
Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered to talk to him about Li Qingxue. “Are you ready? Aren’t you going to compete?”
“I’m ready.” After speaking to Xia Wanyuan, Earl Dray turned around and patted Li Qingxue’s shoulder to comfort her.
Xia Wanyuan and Earl Dray walked into the venue at the same time.
“Mrs. Jun, is this distance enough? A hundred meters. If you think it’s too far, you can adjust it.”
As a general, Earl Dray practiced his spearmanship every day. He was quite confident in this competition, so his words sounded arrogant.
Xia Wanyuan glanced at the target in the venue. “We do have to adjust it.”
“Oh?” Earl Dray thought that Xia Wanyuan was going to puff herself up this time, but he did not expect her to be quite smart. She could adapt to the situation. “You can adjust, but you can’t be lower than fifty meters, right? If you’re too close, what’s the point of the competition?”
“Two hundred meters.” Xia Wanyuan gave a number.
Earl De Lei had heard the word “two” from the beginning. He was about to say that Xia Wanyuan was too funny. What was there to compete about twenty meters?
However, when he came back to his senses, Earl De Lei looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. “What did you say?!”
“I say, there shouldn’t be a problem adjusting the length to two hundred meters, right?” Xia Wanyuan repeated. “Could it be that there’s a limit to the length? Earl, a sharpshooter like you should have no problem at all, right?”
Two hundred meters was fine for Earl Dalei, but the further the distance, the less accurate it was. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan’s sudden move caught him off guard.
“Then let’s go two hundred meters.” Earl Dray could not let others think that he was inferior to a woman, so he agreed.
When the others saw the staff moving the target, they thought that Earl Dray had requested to set such a distance.
Some young staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs panicked when they saw this. “Earl Dray is too much. Miss Xia is a girl and a guest. He bullied her just because he’s a sharpshooter??”
On the other hand, the deputy head calmly glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s expression, then waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down. “You have to believe our Wanyuan. If she’s not confident, she won’t follow at all.”
On the other hand, Earl Dray and Xia Wanyuan had already arrived at the designated location and were adjusting the equipment in their hands.
Xia Wanyuan picked it up and took a look. She knew that something had been tampered with, but Xia Wanyuan did not speak. Instead, she confirmed with the staff that there was no problem.
