Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass Chapter 244 - Encounter at the Banquet 9

Chapter 244: Encounter at the Banquet 9

After getting the targets, bows, and arrows, they did not change their location. Fortunately, the hall was big enough, about 30 meters in length. After the crowd had vacated, the targets were quickly set up. Given the limited size of the place, there was no need for special bows that had a few hundred shi [1]in strength. Those kinds of special bows for the battlefields could not be drawn without at least a slight amount of cultivation.
Therefore, ordinary hunting bows were used for this match.
When Qi Qingyao looked at the ordinary hunting bows in her hand, she knew that she was done for. This kind of less professional hunting bow had an effective shooting range of only tens of meters. With training, there was a possibility of one being able to shoot wild prey within the shooting range. Without it, even aiming could be a problem…let alone hitting a bullseye.
Just like this situation now…
Dong Jing looked at Lu Yan, who was slightly at a loss while he held onto the bow and arrow. He approached the master and spoke in a low voice, “Master, your archery skills are also very average.”
“I did it on purpose.” Lu Yan was not worried at all. “Although my skills are average, she looks like she has never been exposed to archery.”
“You’re right.” Dong Jing was instantly calmed.
His master’s “average skills” were only short of superb excellence.
He could definitely hit the target at this distance!
It was just that this hunting bow may not be the same as the bow he usually used. This bow looked a bit unprofessional…
Qi Qingyao did not feel embarrassed at all. She said in a very shameless manner.
“Master Lu, the task you gave has far exceeded the scope of my abilities. Why not let me practice first?”
Without waiting for Lu Yan’s refusal, Heir Pei immediately spoke for Qi Qingyao, “How about this, both parties should be allowed to practice three times.”
Lu Yan thought for a while and agreed.
Since the bow was not the kind he was used to, he had to practice too.
Qi Qingyao held the bow and arrow, feeling the material of the body of the bow first. She felt the toughness of the bowstring, then felt the texture of the arrow as if touching a lover’s face.
Before she was done familiarizing herself with it.
Heir Pei crept up from behind her like a ghost and gritted his teeth.
“You better practice well!!”
Why was he so agitated? Qi Qingyao rolled her eyes at him. He really gave her a scare. Qi Qingyao shrugged and said nonchalantly, “I’ll try my best.”
Pei Fengtang did not want to put pressure on her, so he stepped aside.
The onlookers’ excitement at the scene had now reached the climax.
They could not help but start to discuss openly.
“She’s not worried at all! She probably wants to lose.”
“It’s better to lose. Maybe she had already planned to get into bed with Master Lu.”
“She can sleep with Master Lu even if she loses, maybe this was her plan all along.”
“How many girls have dreamt of getting into bed with Lu Yan but don’t have that chance? But today, she had pissed Lu Yan off with just a few words! She forced Lu Yan to get into a bet with her. If she wins she gets a large house, if she loses she can sleep with Lu Yan for one night, this…in any case, she’s not at a loss.”
“How scheming!”
“How calculative.”
…
Qi Qingyao only smiled slightly at the words she heard. She could not be bothered to refute the gossip. However, Pei Fengtang found them rather distasteful. After thinking about it, he went and stood behind her like a ghost just when Qi Qingyao was about to shoot the first practice arrow.
He muttered.
“Tell me, do you really want to sleep with Lu Yan? Is that why you deliberately have no care for whether you win or lose?”
Qi Qingyao almost stumbled. She rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, “What are you talking about? While I don’t have high moral principles, I don’t want to sleep with the Lu family’s missy, okay!!”
Lu Yan, who was beside her, was about to shoot his first arrow when he heard her. His face morphed drastically as he thundered, “Who are you calling a missy!”
