Chapter 49: Chi Jingxi’s Archery

 

"Three fingers to buckle the strings." Chi Jingxi poked her hand with the feather again. "Don't stick your fingers up."

 

Wen Yantong quickly retracted her fingers.

 

"When raising the bow, the left arm is lowered, and the elbow is tucked inward. The bow is aimed with the web between the thumb and forefinger of your left hand." He tapped Wen Yantong's right arm. "Don't raise it so high."

As he spoke, he saw that her fingers were in the wrong place. He tsked, stepped forward to rearrange her fingers, and said impatiently, "Even if your mind was decorated with other things like paste, one wouldn’t be this stupid..."

 

Chi Jingxi's hands were quite warm, including his fingertips, which was a sharp contrast to Wen Yantong's perpetually cold hands. As soon as his fingers touched hers, Wen Yantong could clearly feel the heat from his soft fingertips.

 

Her mind wandered off. "Little Marquis, even though you are dressed very thinly, why are your hands so warm?"

 

Chi Jingxi smiled and said, "Cold? It's okay. If you shoot this arrow halfway again, I'll beat you to the point where you get hot all over, and you'll be warm then."

 

Devil, simply a devil. Wen Yantong squeezed out an ugly smile. "No need, no need! It's better to be cold, I’m more energetic this way."

 

Chi Jingxi ignored her antics and said, "Draw (your) bow."

 

Following his previous instructions, Wen Yantong used her left and right hands at the same time to pull the bow and arrow apart. She heard Chi Jingxi say, "Your eyes, the arrow, and the place you want to hit should form a line. Once it’s lined up, let it go immediately."

 

Wen Yantong remained calm, stared at the grass target, and put all her attention on it.

 

After she let go, the arrow whizzed through the air, flying towards the grass target. 

 

Chi Jingxi's eyes followed the arrow intently. He watched the arrow graze the shoulder of the grass target before flying past until it exhausted its strength and fell to the ground.

 

He frowned and turned to look at Wen Yantong.

 

Wen Yantong hurriedly said, "If I said that I purposely aimed behind the grass target... would you believe it?"

It's useless to say anything now, so Wen Yantong simply dropped the bow and hugged her right leg. She groaned dramatically. "Oh my leg!—It hurts all of a sudden, it hurts! Ah! It hurts terribly!"

 

"Shut up!" Chi Jingxi flicked Wen Yantong's arm with a feather arrow.

 

Wen Yantong hurriedly shut up and rubbed her arm. 

 

Blehhh! With my thick clothes, it doesn't hurt at all hahaha!

 

Not knowing that he was being mocked, Chi Jingxi said, “Continue.”

 

She quickly picked up her bow and obediently continued to practice. Chi Jingxi walked to the side and stood watching. His angry expression calmed down after a long while.

 

Chi Jingxi was very depressed. In the first half of his life, he had never encountered such a difficult thing.

 

And so Wen Yantong kept practicing archery. Only when Chi Jingxi and Mu Yang left was she able to rest for a while.

 

Seeing that she was so hardworking, Xu Yingquan comforted her by giving her a pat on the shoulder. "It seems that you really do admire the Little Marquis."

 

Wen Yantong: "???" Is there any misunderstanding?

Wen Yantong spent the whole afternoon practicing archery, and the servant, who was with Chi Jingxi, also suffered. He went back and forth to pick up arrows for Wen Yantong. He was exhausted and could no longer take it. He whispered to Wen Yantong, "Are you stupid? Slow down, and you won't be so tired."

 

Wen Yantong patted her thigh. "Wow! You are so f*cking smart!"

 

It was not until Xu Yingquan raised his voice to say that the training was over that Wen Yantong was finally relieved of her ‘job’. 

 

Xu Yingquan ordered the servants to set up the grass targets. Six grass balls were strung on each of the grass targets. Everyone was to go in their pairs, and each member had three arrows. A pair will pass the exam if they successfully hit three grass balls.

 

The class was divided into two groups. Wen Yantong was naturally part of the first batch, who went up and took the test.

 

After standing in her position, she found that the grass target was farther away than the grass target during practice. Moreover, the grass ball was the size of a jujube, and it would sway slightly when the wind blew.

 

Wasn’t it making it difficult for others?!

 

Wen Yantong bit the bullet and shot her arrows.

 

Her record was outstanding. All three arrows missed.

 

She turned her head and flashed an embarrassed smile at Chi Jingxi. 

 

Big brother, it's up to you!

 

Chi Jingxi was expressionless.

 

After coming down, Mu Yang widened his eyes and asked Cheng Xin, "You didn't mean to bluff me when you said he hit the bull's eye, right?"

 

Cheng Xin said helplessly, "It’s the truth. But Wen Yantong's archery skills are really poor. When he aims, both arms seem to be waving like a flag. I also don’t understand what happened to the last arrow in the previous exam and how it hit the bull's eye."

 

Chi Jingxi stated, "Blind cat encountered a dead mouse."

 

There were many others who missed the grass balls, but Wen Yantong was the only one who missed all three.

 

She returned the bow to someone else and comforted herself: I've tried my best.

 

After the second group went up, the surroundings were obviously much quieter. Not only because Chi Jingxi and Cheng Xin went up but also because Fu Zixian was among them.

 

In the martial arts placement exam, only Fu Zixian was able to hit two bullseyes.

 

At Xu Yingquan's command, the second group fired their arrows together. Wen Yantong stared at Chi Jingxi; his movements were neither slow nor fast, as three arrows fired one after another. Watching them hit the grass ball on the grass target steadily, she couldn't help but marvel at their skills.

 

Too good!

 

On the other hand, Mu Yang longed to watch Fu Zixian shoot arrows since last time, so his eyes stuck like glue on Fu Zixian's arrows. After all three arrows hit the grass ball, he was even happier than Fu Zixian's teammate. If Cheng Xin didn't hold him back, he would have probably flown up to carry Fu Zixian down and ask about the secret of archery.

 

Many students from the first group missed the grass balls, including Wen Yantong. But among those people, only Wen Yantong passed the test.

Chi Jingxi single-handedly carried Wen Yantong, who was dragging his hind legs, to the passing line. This was especially like the top students in each class dragging the last placer into increasing the class average during the big exams.

 

Wen Yantong wanted to say thank you, but after seeing Chi Jingxi's unwelcoming appearance, she could only forget the idea.
