Chapter 79 - Won the National Championship?
The Profligate Madam of the Family
Seeing that Xu Rule had taken the bait, the woman immediately nodded and smiled. She said cryptically, âI have a good idea, but I donât know if Second Miss Xu has the courage to do it!â
Xu Rule stared at the woman without saying a word.
The woman saw that Xu Rule didnât have much of a reaction, so she deliberately said, âI think that Second Miss Xu is injured now, so she probably doesnât have the guts to deal with Leng Rongrong. Leng Rongrong might be Lord Fourâs woman. It would be bad if Lord Four is offended. Forget it, Iâll just keep this idea to myself. Itâs useless to say it out loud.â
After saying that, the woman stood up and prepared to leave.
Xu Rule pulled her back. âWho said Iâm not interested? Who said I donât have the guts? Whoâs more daring than me, Xu Rule? What a joke! Even if she was Lord Fourâs woman, what was the use if Lord Four did not announce it? Tell me your idea, Iâm interested.â
The woman moved closer to Xu Ruleâs ear and muttered something.
Xu Rule instantly squinted her eyes. This idea seemed to be quite good.
It would surely make Leng Rongrongâs body disappear. Even if she didnât, she would die a terrible death.
âHow is it, does Second Miss Xu think that this plan will work?â the woman asked.
âVery good, donât tell anyone.â After Xu Rule finished speaking, she sent the woman away.
...
Leng Rongrong was wandering around alone. Little Nanyu was busy with the meeting and had not returned yet. She had also sent Mo Linyuan away, so she could only wander around alone.
There were people everywhere on the island.
No matter where Leng Rongrong went, she could see people gathered together.
Leng Rongrong walked over to an archery range with great interest. She saw many people playing, and it seemed that there would be prizes if they won.
âCan I participate?â Leng Rongrong asked.
âYou can participate as you wish. Register here, and if you win, you will receive a prize. The first prize this time is a Ferghana horse. â
âHorse?â Leng Rongrong was stunned.
âMiss, do you want to participate? The horse this time is very valuable. Itâs the champion of a world-class horse racing competition,â the staff member said.
âThe champion horse?â Leng Rongrongâs interest was piqued.
She quite liked riding horses, and the feeling of riding a horse was very good.
If it was the champion horse, it should be very powerful.
âAlright, Iâll sign up then!â Leng Rongrong said candidly and signed up immediately.
A few people in the crowd remembered Leng Rongrong. At the shooting range, Leng Rongrong had easily defeated Xu Rule. This shocked everyone, and the news spread very quickly.
After all, Leng Rongrong had surprised many people at the banquet the day before.
Today, she defeated Second Miss Xu in the shooting range and even caused her to be punished. This was unprecedented, so Leng Rongrongâs name had already spread throughout the Nether Abyss Empire Island.
Almost everyone knew of her existence.
âTheyâre indeed here for an archery competition. Shooting an arrow requires a lot of arm strength. Her arms are so slender, Iâm afraid she canât even pull the bow!â
âHer marksmanship is amazing, but her archery might not be!â
âShe seems to be very confident in herself!â
Everyone around was whispering.
Following that, Leng Rongrong began to join the competition. There were quite a several participants in this round.
The target of the archery competition was a leaf on a willow tree. Each person had ten arrows, and whoever hit the most leaves would win.
The difficulty level could be said to be very high.
The willow leaves were very small, and they were swaying in the wind. In addition, the wind was quite strong at the moment, so the difficulty was even higher. It was equivalent to shooting at a moving object or something even more difficult than a moving object.
Therefore, almost all the participants were archery experts.
Because of this, everyone was not very optimistic about Leng Rongrong.
Leng Rongrong, on the other hand, was completely unaware of everyoneâs contempt. She was asking the staff if the horse that won first place would be sent home, what color the horse would be, and other questions.
It looked like she was determined to get this horse.
âTsk, Iâve never seen such an arrogant person. The competition hasnât even started, and she already thinks she can get first place?â
âMarksmanship and archery are two completely different things!â
âThe participants here are all men, and they are all very good. That Ou Cheng was the champion of last yearâs national archery competition. Does she want to win the championship?â
The people around them all felt that Leng Rongrong would not win.
It was true that the Xu familyâs Second Young Miss was not very capable, but in terms of archery, everyone was a capable person.
Moreover, judging from Leng Rongrongâs dress, she was not likely to win.
What kind of getup was she wearing to shoot arrows in a camisole dress?
âWow, Ou Cheng was able to hit the target using seven arrows! Heâs too powerful, heâs surely going to win!â
Someone exclaimed.
âThe first place will surely be him!â
Everyone chimed in one after another, and some even said that there was no need to continue the competition since the others would lose without a doubt.
Several other participants saw that Ou Cheng had shot so many arrows, and they took the initiative to forfeit.
âI give up!â
âI give up too. I donât have a chance to win against Master Ou!â
âSeven arrows. I donât even have the confidence to shoot without an arrow. I wonât humiliate myself.â
The few of them continued to talk.
The majority of the participants had withdrawn from the competition.
âHave you all withdrawn from the competition? Then, I wonât be polite.â Ou Cheng didnât stand at the ceremony. He directly said to the staff, âSince Iâm the first, then send that horse to my house.â
Leng Rongrong was speechless.
Wait a minute, she hadnât even competed yet, why would they send the horse to his house?!
âWait a moment.â Just as Ou Cheng was about to leave, Leng Rongrong called out to him, âIâm sorry, but Iâm afraid you havenât won yet. Although the others have forfeited, I havenât forfeited yet!â
In the surroundings, many people, who originally felt that there was nothing to see after Ou Cheng left, were prepared to go back. They then heard Leng Rongrongâs words and couldnât help but stop in their tracks and turn back to look.
âYou?â Ou Cheng looked at Leng Rongrong from head to toe. His eyes were filled with contempt, âSister, you want to compete with me? Do you know who I am?â
âI donât know,â Leng Rongrong glanced at Ou Cheng and pursed her lips, âIâm quite interested in that Ferghana horse, so I plan to give it a try.â
âTry it?â Ou Cheng laughed, and his line of sight fell on Leng Rongrongâs slender arm. âAlright then. You try it. Donât pull your arm muscles!â
âYou dare to challenge Master Ou? Youâre asking to be humiliated!â
âIf she can win, then itâs going to be a joke!â
âYouâve won against Second Miss Xu once. Youâre truly cocky now!â
The people around them were inexplicably not optimistic about Leng Rongrong.
Leng Rongrong, on the other hand, had a nonchalant attitude and had no intention of explaining anything. She had been able to shoot arrows with a hundred steps since she was young, and this was just a small skill to her.
