Chapter 68 – Impressive, Word Streamer! (3)
At this moment, Wei Jingxian had no mind for anything else, but out of politeness, she responded a couple of times to Wan Xiuer’s chatter.
“She had effortlessly used that loose bow and arrows to shoot down prey, so naturally, hitting fruit from a hundred paces away would be a piece of cake. I reckon Zheng Langjun is bound to face some hidden troubles,” Wei Jingxian echoed, “If she loses, she won’t have it easy, but if she wins splendidly, who will care about the details? Only her archery skills at Liu Lanting will be remembered, pulling a heavy bow and shooting fruit from a hundred paces.”
What she said was actually Jiang Pengji’s intention.
“You dare to humiliate me? I’ll step on you to reclaim my lost face.”
True to her trademark cool style, her final arrow was clean and precise.
With a whoosh, in the blink of an eye, the third kiwifruit was shot down, landing squarely in the center.
Silence engulfed the surrounding crowd, even Feng Jin’s eyes flickered with a hint of astonishment.
“This bow of yours…” Feng Jin took the bow from Jiang Pengji’s hands and immediately recognized its exceptional quality. Trying to draw it back, he found it heavier than expected and turned to his companion, “At least a stone, right?”
“Yeah, about a stone, but it’s still a bit light. It’s a new bow that hasn’t been used for a while. When I draw it fully, I feel the limbs aren’t quite right.”
Jiang Pengji thought, at this moment, Feng Jin’s inner thoughts might be:
Feng Jin OS: Keep your mouth shut, I just want to be quiet.
A stone?
Even many adult men can’t draw it fully, right?
Let alone someone like Jiang Pengji who seemed to do it so effortlessly, not a bead of sweat in sight!
Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream were utterly perplexed. A stone’s bow… is that impressive?
【Beloved Tieguanyin】: Although I don’t understand, I still want to act as if I do and think the streamer is amazing _(:з)∠)_
【Pretty Soldier A-Yuan】: Is there anyone knowledgeable in history who can enlighten me on what a stone actually measures?
【Sleeping with Three Kingdoms Heartthrobs】: #ColdSmile, depending on the historical period, it roughly equals 30 to 60 kilograms. The streamer might not be aware of this world, but based on Feng Shao’s expression, I think it definitely exceeds what a “normal 12-year-old” should handle.
Viewers discussed how much a stone actually weighed, while Jiang Pengji had long developed the habit of ignoring the live stream screen.
She hadn’t forgotten her purpose this time, flashing a natural smile at Zheng Bin, “Now, it’s your turn!”
Now, Zheng Bin was in a tough spot; if he didn’t respond, this humiliation would far exceed what he’d previously inflicted on Xu Ke.
He had bullied Liu Lanting’s servant for a moment of relief, but now that servant slapped him back in the face—talk about a class difference!
Overcoming the simmering rage inside, he ignored the pleading gaze from his book boy and barked at his opponent to hit the fruit from fifty paces away.
Compared to Xu Ke’s calm demeanor, Zheng Bin’s book boy seemed a bit stage fright, his legs trembling, the kiwifruit wobbling precariously on his head. When he saw Zheng Bin raise the bow, his legs gave out, collapsing to the ground, and a wet mark slowly spread on his front.
Oh, got scared and wet your pants, huh?
Jiang Pengji raised an eyebrow and, with a rogue smile, whistled at the pale-faced Zheng Bin, showcasing her bright white teeth.
“Boring, I’m done playing.”
【Central Heating Air Conditioning】: Give the streamer some inner thoughts—ugh, showed off and then backed down, feels so thrilling!
Jiang Pengji: “…”
Zheng Bin: “…”
After she spoke, Xu Ke and Ta Xue stood with their hands at their sides, while the Great White Horse elegantly followed its owner’s stride.
It took Zheng Bin a long time to regain his senses. He angrily threw the bow to the ground, gritting his teeth, “Brute!”
Beside him, Feng Jin, watching silently, looked up at the sky and the ground—anything but Zheng Bin… can he call Liu Lanting a girl?
Wu Ma Jun, eyes wide in shock, finally said, “How weird; why does Liu Zhongqing have such a wild Young Master?”
This is no gentleman!
Clearly, he’s a rogue!
“Are there not enough young and reckless hotheads nowadays? When she gets older, she’ll naturally settle down,” Feng Jin casually commented, putting a label on the situation.
It was just a youthful rivalry. Although Liu Xi appeared wild, deep down, it was a form of fashion, okay?
In Dongqing’s capital, Shangyang City, such “madness” was very trendy. Some noble lads, after getting loose, would even strip off their clothes and run wild in the open. Compared to that… Liu Lanting’s antics were quite tame and conservative.
Shangguan Wan, sitting atop her horse, had a clear view and didn’t quite like Zheng Bin. That previous scene was truly satisfying.
“I didn’t expect Brother Lanting to have such a vengeful side.”
Shangguan Wan, unable to dismount, simply let the white horse follow Jiang Pengji’s pace.
“Vengeful? That’s not how you should see it, Wan’er. Your Brother Lanting is open and upright, never holding grudges.”
Jiang Pengji said with a smile, which sounded incredibly shameless to outsiders, just trying to save face. But unexpectedly, she added, “Because I always repay grievances on the spot, why would I need to remember them for later and rack my brain?”
After speaking, she assisted Shangguan Wan down from the horse, “Tell Jingxian for me, today, there isn’t anyone suitable for her here.”
Wei Jingxian came from a good background and didn’t need to compromise on marriage matters. Under conditions of matching status, she had every right to pick and choose. After all, marriage was a lifelong affair for women from ancient times, so it requires careful consideration.
“Got it, Wan’er,” Shangguan Wan reluctantly returned to the circle of Noble Girls, “I’ll discuss it privately with Sister Jingxian.”
This matter hadn’t truly come to light yet, still covered up with a layer of modesty. Though Shangguan Wan was young, her mind was sharp and discerning.
Having taken care of this, Jiang Pengji finally had time to deal with Xu Ke.
Her tone wasn’t pleasant, and her expression unreadable, “We’ll talk properly when we get back.”
On the other side, Wu Ma Jun had an unprecedented curiosity about Jiang Pengji.
He looked at Jiang Pengji with intense eyes, “Though reckless, you can be considered promising. Why not let Huaiyu introduce us?”
Noticing Feng Jin leading the others over, Jiang Pengji raised an eyebrow meaningfully, “Brothers?”
Feng Jin’s fair face instantly turned red. Having seen this person’s peculiar behavior, he wouldn’t naively assume this “brother” was a genuine one. “Lanting, don’t joke around. Did you forget him? You met him before when you were lost in their den?”
Den? When did that happen?
Wu Ma Jun looked baffled.
Jiang Pengji maintained a subtle smile, “Oh? Now that you mention it, I have a bit of an impression.”
Wu Ma Jun’s eyelids twitched, unsure of what the two were talking about.
“Yeah, at that time, Si Langjun had a severe fever and was unconscious. If it wasn’t for your hospitality, who knows…,” Feng Jin commented casually, as if discussing daily life, “I intended to introduce you two back then, just never expected things to get busy and delay until now.”
Wu Ma Jun’s face stiffened; was he suddenly given an additional savior?
