Chapter 47 Wen Yantong's Three Arrows (1)

Wen Yantong thought of her archery skills, and immediately said to Mu Yang, "Who are you with? How about we switch?"

Mu Yang wondered, "Teacher Xu won't let it be exchanged in private."

"Aiya, rarely do I see you listen to the teacher's words anyways!" Wen Yantong was anxious, and said in a low voice, "Your Brother Xi is so good at archery, so if you can practice with him, you can maybe learn a few tricks."

Mu Yang glanced at Xu Yingquan and found that he didn't look this way, so he took out his paper. However, he still didn't agree with Wen Yantong's words. "I grew up with Brother Xi, so I’ve learned all the tricks. The rest is just his talent."

"Talent my a**. Don't you know that diligence can make up for clumsiness?" Wen Yantong said while exchanging with him.

Wen Yantong just didn't expect that a hand that was suddenly stretched out and took her paper away.

Wen Yantong was about to scold the culprit, but when she turned her head and saw that it was Chi Jingxi, it scared her to the core.

Chi Jingxi was tall and had a fierce expression. He was exuding a ‘I’m a villain’ aura all over his body. He looked down at the number on the paper and said coldly, "Little cripple, are you despising me?"

Chi Jingxi was also very unhappy to be drawn to a group with Wen Yantong, but when he saw that she was in a hurry to change numbers with Mu Yang, he was even more unhappy.

How dare the lame man, who completely missed two arrows, dare to show his dislike first?

Wen Yantong smiled and waved her hand, "No, no! Little Marquis has misunderstood, I'm only afraid of holding you back."

Chi Jingxi sneered coldly. "How humble."

Wen Yantong lowered her head and didn't speak. In this case, it's better to pretend to be a mute.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Mu Yang acted as a peacemaker. "Brother Xi, Teacher Xu said that the practice has started, so don't waste time here."

Chi Jingxi crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on Wen Yantong. He said to her in a cold voice. "Let’s go."

It's over! It's really over now! Wen Yantong scolded secretly. His temper was really not ordinary.

Chi Jingxi stopped in front of a humanoid grass target. That position was right next to the weapon rack, so it was easy to pick up things.

When Wen Yantong walked over, Chi Jingxi was placing an arrow on the bow. He stared at the grass target and slowly pulled the bowstring.

She had noticed earlier that the bow in Chi Jingxi's hand was quite beautiful. The mahogany was as bright and transparent as if it had been waxed, and the bow body was carved with extremely detailed patterns.

His arms were very strong as Chi Jingxi pulled the bow away with ease. He remained motionless after the arrow was shot out. These actions seemed quite simple, but Wen Yantong knew that it was not as easy as it looks.

Previously, as soon as she drew the bowstring, her arms would keep shaking because of the force. In addition, because there was nothing against it, she had a lot of trouble stabilizing her hands in the air. This task was no easy feat.

Chi Jingxi's movements paused for more than ten seconds after aiming at the humanoid grass target. As soon as his fingers loosened, the arrow with the gold thread embedded in the end flew away, and hit the head of the humanoid grass target with a thud.

This shot was crisp and neat, quite beautiful.

Chi Jingxi fired two more arrows, both faster than the first time. The amazing thing was that the three arrows landed all in the same position.

Wen Yantong was stunned, staring blankly at the three feather arrows. The gold threads on the tail shone in the sunlight.

Chi Jingxi put down the bow and looked at her sideways, "Take a bow."

Wen Yantong walked to the weapon rack, but when she swept her eyes, she found that there were only arrows on the rack. Seeing no public bows, she was troubled for a while.

Students were reluctant to use the bows in the academy as there are no poor households who enter Songhai Academy to study. Everyone prefered to use their own bows, which are not only good-looking, but also more smooth. Over time, the academy removed all the public bows.

Wen Yantong had been a bystander watching the fun since she was enrolled in this martial arts class, so she never thought of this problem. As such, she came here empty-handed today.

Of course she couldn't find her bow on the rack.

Chi Jingxi stood on the side and watched. Seeing that she was dazed at the weapon rack, he opened his mouth and asked: "What are you standing there for?"

Wen Yantong turned around quietly. "I don't have my bow."

His face sank, "Where's your bow?"

"I didn't know it was a flat shooting class today, so I didn't bring a bow." Wen Yantong whispered.

Chi Jingxi glanced around, everyone started to practice, but his partner didn't even have a bow. His temper began to tumble again, but he was able to press it down. After standing silent for a while, he said in a suppressed voice, "Roll over here and practice with my bow."

Wen Yantong was quite anxious while standing in the midst of his silence. She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard his words. She walked up to him, took the mahogany bow, and stated like a broken record: "Little Marquis, you are really a good person."

"Shut up." 

The bow was made of high-quality wood, so it was quite heavy. The body of the bow still had the residual temperature of Chi Jingxi's palm. After Wen Yantong held it, her heart sank.

This thing... is heavier than the bow provided during the exams.
