Chapter 206: The Competition Begins
Chapter 206: The Competition Begins
The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie, even Princess Wanping was left bewildered.
She was unaware that the fiancee Lu Yuan had rejected was this Miaojiang heiress, and she was perplexed as to why this stranger would stand up for her.
"I am not one to back down from a challenge, Miss Bai, I appreciate your kindness."
She wasn't foolish; losing was a fact, and denying it would only make her look worse.
Besides, Liu Qingyun was also present, and she didn't want to leave a bad impression on him.
"This is between me and her."
"This is between me and her," Meng Qianqian and Bai Yuwei said in unison.
Bai Yuwei glared at Meng Qianqian.
Meng Qianqian addressed Princess Wanping, "Princess, our bet is over. You accepted the bet and lost, and I admire your willingness to accept defeat. Now, I request to borrow this venue, and if there's any damage, ask her to compensate."
She pointed at Bai Yuwei.
Bai Yuwei was taken aback.
Usually, the one who causes damage pays for it, right? Why isn't she following the rules?
Bai Yuwei replied, "I'll pay for the damages! It's not like I can't afford it!"
Princess Wanping was put in a difficult position by Meng Qianqian's request, but she couldn't refuse, "Fine, I'll watch and see who's more impressive, the Shier Wei or the Miaojiang heiress."
She was delighted to watch the show! At this moment, Weiyang and Haizhu's gazes also fell on Meng Qianqian, clearly curious about the abilities of the chosen successor of Yin Hu.
Liu Qingyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Si She spoke up, "A competition is fine, but no curses."
Meng Qianqian was slightly startled, having forgotten about this detail. Miaojiang was renowned for their curses, and if one wasn't careful, winning the competition but losing one's life would be pointless.
She looked at Si She gratefully.
Bai Yuwei coldly humphed, "I won't curse, but I'll compete with you in archery. Dare you?"
Zhou Nanyan whispered, "Meng sister, do you know how to shoot arrows?"
Meng Qianqian thought for a moment, "I don't know."
Zhou Nanyan's face changed, "What?"
Ji Li smirked, "Hey, Yin Hu, choose something else!"
Meng Qianqian said, "Let's do archery."
Princess Wanping instructed her servant, "Go prepare the targets."
Just as the servant was about to leave, Meng Qianqian spoke to Bai Yuwei, "Ordinary archery is too boring. Let's change the rules."
Bai Yuwei smiled mischievously, "How do you want to play?"
Meng Qianqian untied a hair ribbon, "Blind shooting."
Ji Li's expression changed, gritting her teeth, "Yin Hu, you can't even draw the bow properly with your eyes open, and now you want to do blind shooting? Are you crazy?"
However, Meng Qianqian ignored Ji Li's objection and stared intently at Bai Yuwei, "We'll each stand at a spot, draw a circle on the ground, and shoot three arrows. Whoever steps out of the circle or gets shot loses."
Wei Mingxuan rarely made a sound, "Is this a life-or-death game?"
Xun Yu sipped his tea, unperturbed.
Regardless of who won or lost, the relationship between the Governor's Mansion and the King of Miaojiang would deteriorate further.
Bai Qingchen spoke up, "Lu Shaofuren, I advise you to take back your words. My sister's archery skills are among the best in Miaojiang. Even without blinding you, you won't win against her."
Bai Yuwei raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Good, I accept your challenge!"
The two stood at opposite ends of the open space, and a servant brought vermilion powder to draw a circle that could only accommodate one person.
They used the Princess Mansion's bows and arrows, and since Princess Wanping was impartial, there was no chance of cheating.
Both women blindfolded themselves and took up their bows and arrows.
Meng Qianqian said, "Princess, please give the order."
Princess Wanping suddenly became tense.
What's going on?
If this girl wins, she'll be dead, but why is she nervous?
