Chapter 79: Won the National Championship?
Seeing that Xu Rule had taken the bait, the woman immediately nodded and smiled. She said cryptically, “I have a good idea, but I don’t know if Second Miss Xu has the courage to do it!”
Xu Rule stared at the woman without saying a word.
The woman saw that Xu Rule didn’t have much of a reaction, so she deliberately said, “I think that Second Miss Xu is injured now, so she probably doesn’t have the guts to deal with Leng Rongrong. Leng Rongrong might be Lord Four’s woman. It would be bad if Lord Four is offended. Forget it, I’ll just keep this idea to myself. It’s useless to say it out loud.”
After saying that, the woman stood up and prepared to leave.
Xu Rule pulled her back. “Who said I’m not interested? Who said I don’t have the guts? Who’s more daring than me, Xu Rule? What a joke! Even if she was Lord Four’s woman, what was the use if Lord Four did not announce it? Tell me your idea, I’m interested.”
The woman moved closer to Xu Rule’s ear and muttered something.
Xu Rule instantly squinted her eyes. This idea seemed to be quite good.
It would surely make Leng Rongrong’s body disappear. Even if she didn’t, she would die a terrible death.
“How is it, does Second Miss Xu think that this plan will work?” the woman asked.
“Very good, don’t tell anyone.” 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.
“Can I participate?” Leng Rongrong asked.
“You 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. ”
“Horse?” Leng Rongrong was stunned.
“Miss, do you want to participate? The horse this time is very valuable. It’s the champion of a world-class horse racing competition,” the staff member said.
“The champion horse?” Leng Rongrong’s 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.
“Alright, I’ll sign up then!” 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 Rongrong’s name had already spread throughout the Nether Abyss Empire Island.
Almost everyone knew of her existence.
“They’re indeed here for an archery competition. Shooting an arrow requires a lot of arm strength. Her arms are so slender, I’m afraid she can’t even pull the bow!”
“Her marksmanship is amazing, but her archery might not be!”
“She seems to be very confident in herself!”
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 everyone’s 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.
“Tsk, I’ve never seen such an arrogant person. The competition hasn’t even started, and she already thinks she can get first place?”
“Marksmanship and archery are two completely different things!”
“The participants here are all men, and they are all very good. That Ou Cheng was the champion of last year’s national archery competition. Does she want to win the championship?”
The people around them all felt that Leng Rongrong would not win.
It was true that the Xu family’s Second Young Miss was not very capable, but in terms of archery, everyone was a capable person.
Moreover, judging from Leng Rongrong’s dress, she was not likely to win.
What kind of getup was she wearing to shoot arrows in a camisole dress?
“Wow, Ou Cheng was able to hit the target using seven arrows! He’s too powerful, he’s surely going to win!”
Someone exclaimed.
“The first place will surely be him!”
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.
“I give up!”
“I give up too. I don’t have a chance to win against Master Ou!”
“Seven arrows. I don’t even have the confidence to shoot without an arrow. I won’t humiliate myself.”
The few of them continued to talk.
The majority of the participants had withdrawn from the competition.
“Have you all withdrawn from the competition? Then, I won’t be polite.” Ou Cheng didn’t stand at the ceremony. He directly said to the staff, “Since I’m the first, then send that horse to my house.”
Leng Rongrong was speechless.
Wait a minute, she hadn’t even competed yet, why would they send the horse to his house?!
“Wait a moment.” Just as Ou Cheng was about to leave, Leng Rongrong called out to him, “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid you haven’t won yet. Although the others have forfeited, I haven’t forfeited yet!”
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 Rongrong’s words and couldn’t help but stop in their tracks and turn back to look.
“You?” Ou Cheng looked at Leng Rongrong from head to toe. His eyes were filled with contempt, “Sister, you want to compete with me? Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t know,” Leng Rongrong glanced at Ou Cheng and pursed her lips, “I’m quite interested in that Ferghana horse, so I plan to give it a try.”
“Try it?” Ou Cheng laughed, and his line of sight fell on Leng Rongrong’s slender arm. “Alright then. You try it. Don’t pull your arm muscles!”
“You dare to challenge Master Ou? You’re asking to be humiliated!”
“If she can win, then it’s going to be a joke!”
“You’ve won against Second Miss Xu once. You’re truly cocky now!”
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.
