CHAPTER 356: CHAPTER 356: DON’T COMPETE WITH A JINLI’S LUCK

These young nobles all come from respectable families.

Usually, they are praised most of the time.

This was the first time someone like Bai Zhi’er had straightforwardly belittled them to praise someone else.

Even so, none of them dared to show the slightest displeasure.

Instead, they could only go along with Bai Zhi’er’s words, continuously applauding and cheering for Bai Yaoyu.

After all, not only is the little princess the Emperor’s only child, she’s also the youngest disciple of the Six Kingdoms Master, Mo Yanchi.

Offending her could mean that one would find it hard to stay in Great Chu, and even in other countries, one might face censure.

Only Wei Zian felt discontent in his heart.

He watched everyone enthusiastically praising Bai Yaoyu, secretly gnashing his teeth in hatred.

Though Bai Yaoyu, as a Princely Heir, was surely beyond his comparison,

however, Wei Zian happened to practice martial arts as well.

Bai Yaoyu was more talented and, moreover, a Princely Heir.

Even when they were doing the same thing, others would only praise Bai Yaoyu and overlook him.

Today, he planned to make Bai Yaoyu face trouble.

To let everyone know that no matter how skilled someone is in martial arts, if their character is vile, they are still detestable!

Moreover, Bai Yaoyu had such an impulsive and violent nature, the entire capital knew the Third Young Master had a bad temper.

Wei Zian turned his head and glanced at a servant standing not far from the archery field.

This was someone he had temporarily bribed.

He asked this servant to leap onto the arrowhead when Bai Yaoyu was shooting.

So that everyone would think Bai Yaoyu injured someone while shooting.

At that time, he would spread rumors in the Capital to provoke Bai Yaoyu.

With Bai Yaoyu’s impulsive and violent character, he would certainly fall into the trap quickly.

The servant, having taken the money, naturally intended to help Wei Zian with his plan.

At this moment, Wei Zian laughed, "I see these targets are no challenge at all for Brother Yaoyu."

"Why not increase the difficulty, have a man hold the target high, and see Brother Yaoyu shoot while riding on a galloping horse? That would be truly eye-opening for us."

A few of the young nobles immediately voiced their agreement.

Bai Yaoyu frowned, "Not interesting."

That was enough; he was originally doing it for his sister to see.

But at this moment, Bai Zhi’er excitedly stood up, a small figure.

She raised her sweet, childlike voice, "Yes, yes!"

Bai Zhi’er casually pointed to a servant with a lowered head at the archery field.

"Him!"

Wei Zian was stunned and hurriedly tried to stop it.

However, the person Bai Zhi’er pointed at was startled but immediately stepped forward eagerly.

Wei Zian panicked.

This was not the person he had arranged!

Bai Yaoyu turned around and saw Bai Zhi’er blinking her big, bright eyes, sparkling.

"Third Brother, you are the best!" The little one cheered, waving her little fists.

Seeing how much his sister wanted to watch, how could Bai Yaoyu refuse?

He instantly raised his eyebrows and said to the followers nearby, "Bring the horse."

Shortly after, a follower brought a tall, red jujube horse from the archery field.

Bai Yaoyu, dressed in a silver long robe, looked all the more distinguished with his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome and clear-faced.

He pulled the reins and skillfully mounted the horse.

Bai Zhi’er sat on the big rock, and immediately applauded energetically.

"Third Brother is so cool!"

Wei Zian watched with his eyes wide open as Bai Yaoyu pulled the reins, drew the eagle bow, and nocked a full string.

As the horse galloped with thundering hooves, Bai Yaoyu squinted, aiming at the red bull’s-eye hugged by the servant.

With a swoosh—

The sharp arrow left the string.

However, almost at that moment, Bai Yaoyu’s red jujube horse seemed to be slightly startled, stamping its hooves fiercely.

The arrow, missed.

Wei Zian’s expression shifted from initial annoyance to a hint of delight.

Bai Yaoyu was bound to fail, truly achieving his goals without effort; even heavens were assisting him!
