Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 189

Dzing! Jleb!

As more and more arrows were shot, the area around the middle would slowly got crowded. It would make it harder for either one of them to shoot straight at the middle now.

"7 arrows." Feng Ao Si was looking at the arrows in front of him and clicked his tongue. He felt that even the best archers might not even have result as good as these two. Was Shangguan Yi has always been this good of an archer?

"The distance is not that far," Feng Ao Kuai reminded when he saw his older brother's expression. He could guess what the latter was thinking and naturally reminded that the distance for this competition was actually quite short.

If it was real war, they would require the archers to be at longer distance. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

Too close and they would put themselves in danger. And naturally, their enemies wouldn't be a fixed object like this.

"I see."

Feng Ao Si glanced at Shangguan Yi and noticed that the young man was already sweating buckets. It seemed that the battle was also taxing for him, making him sweat much more than usual.

However, Nan Hua was not any better.

She had to concentrate fully in order to be able to perform well. If she didn't pay any attention even for a second, it would mean that her aim would miss. Not only that, Nan Hua was physically tired since her body was not used to keep on shooting like this.

She had to keep on shooting hard because the arrows risked fell if she failed to use the proper power.

Dzing! Jleb!

"It's 9 points." The student beside Shangguan Yi gasped. He knew that if 'Nan Luo' were to perform better than this, it meant that they would lose.

Nan Hua didn't even pay attention to them. She was silently calculating the wind and the force necessary as she pulled the bowstring. Her eyes completely focused on the target in front of her.

Dzing! Jleb!

"Right in the middle." Feng Ao Si grinned. He looked at Shangguan Yi and puffed up his chest. "Would you like to continue, Young Master Shangguan?"

Shangguan Yi was already sweating a lot. He knew that his accuracy would only grow lower than this, but he didn't believe that he would lose. It was only archery. How could he lose to a brat?"

"Continue!"

Dzing! Jleb!

"Right in the middle."

"Right in the middle too."

"9 points."

"Right in the middle…"

In the end, the competition continued. Nan Hua also missed to the line beside the spot in the middle. She knew very well that it was caused by her lacking strength. While it was close to the middle, it was still worse than her expectation.

When they reached 15 arrows, they stopped.

Nan Hua reached the middle for 13 and missed to the second line twice.

Shangguan Yi furrowed his eyebrows.

"Could it be that Young Master Shangguan wished to renege your words?" Feng Ao Kuai added when he saw Shangguan Yi was already on the verge of leaving. He would never allow that young master to refuse his debt.

Shangguan Yi snorted. "Of course not."

He threw a bag to the back while he walked away, stomping his legs angrily. Now he even lost the money that his mother entrusted to him. What should he say when he returned later?

His mother's expression must be very bad.

"Thank you for the money." Feng Ao Si picked it up then count the silvers inside. Upon noticing that it was exactly 10 silvers, he nodded in satisfaction then handed it to Nan Hua. "Yours."

"Alright." Nan Hua nodded. "Thank you, Cousin Ao Si."

"Heh, it's nothing."

"There will be horse riding class today. Do you want to participate? I heard that Young Master Long will be the instructor." Feng Ao Si stretched his hand.

Young Master Long?

Nan Hua was surprised to hear that Long Qian Xing would teach a class in the academy. From what she knew regarding that man, he was someone who would not spare any time to care about other things like this.

At the very least, the novel never mentioned anything about Long Qian Xing teaching in the academy.

"If you're still worried about your wounds, you can choose to take a leave for today," Feng Ao Si suggested.. He didn't want to remind 'Nan Luo' about the painful experience from yesterday.
