Chapter 68
Wei Jingxian was not in any state of mind to talk, but since Wan Xiu'er was talking to her, she had to be polite .

"She managed to hunt for food with that loose bow back then . Aiming at a piece of fruit 100 steps away will not be hard for her . I think Zheng Langjun will have his pride handed back to him," Wei Jingxian said . "If she loses, it would not look good for her . But if she wins, no one will care about how this all started or ended . They will only remember Liu Lanting's archery skills . "
Wei Jingxian's words were really for Jiang Pengji's sake .
If you dare humiliate me, I will step on your pride .
As usual, Jiang Pengji's demeanor remained cool as she released her last arrow . Within the blink of an eye, a soft thud sounded as the arrow hit its target dead center .
Everyone was speechless . Even Feng Jin's eyes flashed with amazement .
"Your bow…" Feng Jin took the bow from Jiang Pengji . As he held it, he knew it was not an ordinary bow . He tried to draw it and was surprised by the draw weight . "This is at least one stone, right?"
"Hm, it is . But it's lighter and still quite new . When I drew it fully, the bow felt like it wasn't happy with me . "
Jiang Pengji saw Feng Jin's expression and silently voiced her thoughts in her head: Don't speak anymore . I want to be alone .
One stone? Even an adult male would not be able to draw it to its full potential, yet Jiang Pengji had done so without breaking a sweat .
The audience in the stream was dumbfounded . One stone of draw weight… That was insanely awesome, right?

Zhiai Tieguanyin: "Although I have no idea what's going on, I still have to pretend that I get it . That host is insanely awesome . "
Meishaonu Zhanshi Ayuan: "Anyone good in history? What's 'one stone'?"
Shuibian Sanguo Nanshen: "#smug smile . That would depend on the timeline . One stone would typically be between 30 and 60 kilograms . I'm not too sure about the host's world, but based on that Feng boy's expression, I'm guessing it's not something a normal 12-year-old boy could do . "
Jiang Pengji ignored the stream as the viewers discussed the exact measurements of "one stone . "
She had not forgotten her goal . She smiled naturally as she faced Zheng Bin . She yelled, "Now it's your turn!"
It was impossible for Zheng Bin to stop now . If he were to reject the challenge or back off, he would be humiliated .
He had taken his anger out on Liu Lanting's servant; now, Liu Lanting was practically slapping him in the face because of it .
Zheng Bin controlled his temper and ignored his page boy's pleading gaze . He ordered the boy to stand 50 paces away with a kiwi on his head .
Xu Ke had been calm and collected, but Zheng Bin's page boy was obviously terrified . His legs trembled, and the kiwi on his head tottered . When he saw his young master raise his bow, his legs collapsed beneath him, and the front of his robes grew wet . He had peed himself in fright!
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows before she whistled . Then she gave the fuming Zheng Bin a wide smile that revealed her pearly white teeth .

"Boring . I'm not playing anymore . "
Zhongyang Qunuan Kongtiao: "Lemme say something— Eh, running after showing off? That felt f*cking good!"
Jiang Pengji: " . . . "
Zheng Bin: " . . . "
Taxue and Xu Ke hurriedly took their places by her side as her horse proudly strutted behind her .
Zheng Bin finally regained himself . He threw his bow to the floor in a fit of anger before he cried out, "You boor!"
Feng Jin, who was quietly watching the spectacle, looked at the sky and then at the ground . He refused to look at Zheng Bin .
Wuma Jun was flabbergasted . It took him a while before he uttered, "Strange . When did the Liu family raise such a hooligan?"
"There are many foolish young men out there . Once he's older, he will be better behaved . "
Feng Jin's response explained the situation . It was a dispute between foolish young men who had been overcome by their emotions . Liu Lanting was defiant because it was a fad .
In the Yangcheng County of Dongqing, it was fashionable to be "wild . " Some noble Langjuns even shed their clothes and streaked naked . Liu Lanting's behavior was tame compared to that .
Shangguan Wan had seen everything from her view on the horse . She did not like Zheng Bin and was elated to see what had happened to him .
"I didn't know that brother Lanting would hold a grudge . "
Shangguan Wan could not dismount by herself, so the horse walked toward Jiang Pengji .
"Hold a grudge? Shangguan Wan, you're wrong . Your Brother Lanting is straightforward and upright . I don't hold grudges . " Jiang Pengji smiled .
To anyone else, those words could have sounded shameless and arrogant . But before anyone could grumble about it, Jiang Pengji continued . "That's because I prefer to take my revenge immediately . Why should I waste effort trying to remember a grudge?"
Jiang Pengji reached up to help Shangguan Wan off the horse . "Help me tell Wei Jingxian: none of the men here are suitable for her . "
Wei Jingxian came from a prestigious family . There was no need for her to rush out and inconvenience herself over marriage . In the olden days, marriage was for life . Women had to be careful about who they chose as their husbands .
"I understand," Shangguan Wan said . But she was a little unwilling to return to the other noble girls . "I will tell Wei Jingxian when we're alone . "
The annulment between Liu Lanting and Wei Jingxian had yet to be disclosed, and Shangguan Wan was just trying to cover it up . She might be young, but she was wise .
Jiang Pengji turned around to deal with Xu Ke .
"We'll talk when we get back," she said unhappily . Her face was devoid of any emotions .
On the other side of the assembly, Wuma Jun's curiosity about Jiang Pengji grew .
His eyes sparkled when he looked at Jiang Pengji . "He may be impulsive, but he's definitely promising . Huaiyu, introduce us?"
When Jiang Pengji noticed Feng Jin walking over with another person, she raised her eyebrows . "Your brother?" she said .
Feng Jin flushed red . "Lanting, don't jest . Have you forgotten him? When we were in the bandit's' den, you met him . "
Bandits' den? When was that? Wuma Jun was at a loss .
Jiang Pengji gave a small smile . "Oh? Now that you mention it, I do remember . "
Wuma Jun's eyelids twitched . He had no idea what they were talking about .
"That day, the fourth Langjun was suffering from a high fever and was unconscious . If you had not taken us in, he might have…" Feng Jin's attitude was very relaxed, as though he was talking about the weather . "I wanted to introduce you two at that time, but some situations arose, so we were delayed until now . "
Wuma Jun froze . Jiang Pengji was his benefactor?
