Seeing Zhou Minjun suddenly fall to the ground and die, everyone stared with their eyes wide open, "What"s going on, how did she die?""Jun Er..." Zhou Xin Ji shouted in grief as he anxiously ran down from the stands.
On the other hand, Madame Zhou"s vision went black and she fainted.
"Madame Zhou. "Hurry, hurry and carry her inside." Everyone was shocked, and immediately brought Madame Zhou into the field.
Murong Lingshan looked at the dead Zhou Minjun, and his heart that was hanging down to his throat finally relaxed.
Queen"s tightly clenched fists also quietly relaxed. Her sharp eyes looked down at Bai Ruoyu who was holding the bow, and the light in her eyes slowly became deeper.
Zhou Xin Ji stumbled to Zhou Minjun"s side, his hands trembling. With a face full of grief, he pulled her into his embrace. "Jun Er …"
Bai Li frowned, then turned to Bai Ruoyu and asked: "Why did you kill her?"
Zhou Xin Ji also raised his eyes, his crimson red eyes staring straight at Bai Ruoyu.
Bai Ruoyu slowly put away the bow and lightly smiled. "How can this kind of sc.u.m get my big sister"s hands dirty? I"m working on behalf of big sister."
With just that one light sentence, all of the responsibilities were directly pushed towards Bai Li.
Zhou Xin Ji suddenly turned towards Bai Li, his red eyes filled with overflowing hatred.
Ignoring Zhou Xin Ji"s gaze that seemed like it was about to devour him, Bai Li said with a cold smile, "Little sister is righteous, but it"s a pity that you expressed the wrong feelings. Because... I had no intention of killing her. "
Bai Li smiled evil, raised the arrow in her hand, and casually pulled the arrow, unexpectedly spinning a few rounds before dropping it.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, "What"s going on, it was actually broken?"
"So Miss Bai was only trying to scare Miss Zhou."
"Miss Bai is truly worthy of being the descendant of the Bai Family. Her bearing is just different."
Bai Ruoyu frowned, her sinister eyes suddenly narrowing.
Bai Li turned around and smiled sinisterly as she squatted beside Zhou Minjun. She gently lifted her chin and turned her b.l.o.o.d.y face to Bai Ruoyu and Murong Lingshan, "Then, make sure to recognize these two people. We"ll look for them tonight."
His voice was light and indifferent, as if he wasn"t talking to a dead man at all, but was instead teasing his good friend.
Looking at the pair of large, spirit-like eyes, Bai Ruoyu and Murong Lingshan were immediately shocked.
Murong Lingshan"s face was deathly pale, cold sweat instantly dripping down his forehead. Bai Ruoyu clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth fiercely. She wasn"t even afraid of the living, how could she be afraid of the dead?
Seeing the two of them like this, Bai Li curled her lips, got up, and left the compet.i.tion grounds.
Murong Xun frowned as he looked at Murong Lingshan, his eyes filled with disappointment. He thought that she was only spoiled by his imperial parents and was not bad in nature, but he never thought that she would actually want to kill his son.
Murong Lingshan looked at Murong Xun"s disappointed eyes, and immediately became fl.u.s.tered, "Elder brother, I …"
Murong Xun"s black eyes darkened slightly, "If there"s a next time, she won"t be the only one to die."
The ice-cold, emotionless words directly caused Murong Lingshan"s face to turn pale white.
No longer paying attention to Murong Lingshan, Murong Xun immediately flung his sleeves and chased after Bai Li.
"Junior Sister, it"s a good thing that you"re fine. Just now, I was so scared that my heart almost flew out." Yun Shaoning continued to follow Bai Li.
Bai Li leisurely smiled and snorted disdainfully, "Forget about just one Zhou Minjun, even if there were ten of them, I wouldn"t put them in my eyes."
"Yes, yes, yes, you"re the strongest. Why don"t you teach me how to ride and shoot?" Yun Shaoning nodded vigorously, looking at Bai Li excitedly.
His junior sister was so powerful. As long as he could learn half of her skills, he would be able to deal with this old man.
Bai Li turned her eyes and earnestly swept Yun Shaoning from head to toe, and then from tail to head, causing Yun Shaoning to be extremely excited.
Just when Yun Shaoning thought that Bai Li wanted to agree, Bai Li patted his shoulder, and said sincerely, "Your center of gravity is not strong, your arm strength is not strong, and your apt.i.tude is too poor. So, it"s better for you to continue doing what you"re good at."
"What am I good at?" Yun Shaoning blinked his eyes dumbly.
Bai Li grinned. "You must be joking."
Yun Shaoning was exasperated, his face turning completely black. Does he only know how to play tricks and tease people?
"Hahahaha …" The others laughed without restraint.
Bai Li curled her lips, but what she said was actually true. Playing tricks and teasing was also a skill. Some people"s talents could not be learned by others.
After the second round of results, Bai Li got first place, two hundred and twenty rings, while Murong Xun and Xue Qingyan got second place with two hundred rings.
Once the result of two hundred and twenty rings was out, the stands erupted in excited cheers once again. The second round had ten arrows for each person. Therefore, these two hundred and twenty rings were truly the highest record in history that had never been seen before or since.
"BOOM!" The loud sound of the gongs and drums rang out.
Murong Shuofeng stood up and walked to the front of the stage. Eunuch Rong immediately handed over his bow and arrow.
"Eagles …" Following Eunuch Rong"s shout, a light brown majestic eagle was released.
Once the eagle was out of the cage, it immediately flew out. Murong Shuofeng squinted his black eyes and aimed at the eagle as he shot out an arrow. A few seconds later, the arrow shot by the eagle landed on the ground.
Bai Li raised her eyebrows, she did not expect that the old man"s archery skills were not bad.
After the hawking ceremony ended, the third round of the hunting compet.i.tion began. Everyone entered the Cloud Piercing Mountain together, and each person was allowed to bring a servant to help them take their prey.
"Young master …" A green-robed servant hurried towards Yun Shaoning.
Seeing Miao Qing, Yun Shaoning immediately frowned: What are you doing here?
Miao Qing panted, "Master asked me to help you get the prey."
Yun Shaoning was speechless. This old man was overthinking it, when did he ever hunt for prey?
"The old master also said to get it for the Miss Bai." Miao Qing said as he respectfully bowed to Bai Li.
Yun Shaoning thought of Bai Li"s exquisite archery skills, and seeing a frail and weak girl like Qi Wen, he waved his hand, "Alright, follow me."
"Thank you, Young Master." Miao Qing immediately bowed in joy.
Murong Xun rode to Bai Li"s side, "Follow me later, don"t run around."
Xue Qingyan also nodded, "Don"t leave our line of sight."
Although the magical beasts in the hunting grounds weren"t of a high rank, they weren"t of a low rank either. Although they were powerful in terms of riding, they had no cultivation, so it would be dangerous for them to fight high-level magical beasts. Especially after experiencing the previous a.s.sa.s.sination attempt, Murong Lingshan and Bai Ruoyu were both not kind people, as this Cloud Piercing Mountain was the most suitable for ambus.h.i.+ng, so they had to be on guard.
Bai Li nodded her head, although she was not afraid of the beasts, but she did not have the cultivation yet, so it was better for her to be obedient.
Deep in the forest.
"I don"t want her to leave the hunting grounds alive." The sinister voice was filled with jealousy and resentment.
The black clothed man stuffed the banknotes in his hands into his pocket. "Esteemed customer, please be at ease. Since we have accepted this business, we will definitely complete the mission."
