Chapter 55: Life and Death Contract (2)
Even if she didn’t accept his challenge today, he would definitely find a change to humiliate Shen Miao in front of everyone one day.
He wanted her to alwasy keep her head low in front of Shen Yue!
Generally speaking, the challenger would be the one who set the rules, and the one being challenged would have to accept the rulesno matter what. Because no one knew what would happen next, this round was always the most eye-catching.
Shen Miao walked to the stage.
The examiner who in a difficult position. After all, Shen Miao was just a girl. If they competed on literary subjects, then it was not a big deal. Obviously, Cai Lin wanted her to make a fool of herself.
“We got a good show to watch today.” Prince Zhou clapped his hands and seemed to be very interested. “I’m afraid the reputation of the Shen family will fall again.”
Prince Jing shook his head and sighed. “General Shen is famous for fighting on the battlefield, but his daughter is just a disappointment.” He thought to himself that she was not only a disappointment, but also a fool. Today, it was obvious that it was wrong for her to accept the challenge. If she acted like this, it would make people laugh even more.
Cai Lin curled his lips proudly. “I thought of an interesting rule this year. It’s too boring to do it the normal way. This year, how about we put an apple on each other’s head and shoot it?”
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked!
The examiner was also shocked. Shen Miao was Shen Xin’s daughter after all. If anything happened to her, who would bear the responsibility when Shen Xin came back at the end of the year?
He quickly said, “Student Cai…”
Cai Lin waved his hand. “Sir, the challenger has the right to set the rules. Why? Is the daughter of a general such a coward?”
Shen Yue lowered her head to conceal her smile. Feng Anning frowned, but she did not know what to do.
“You’re right.” Prince Yu said with a husky voice. A strange smile appeared on his ferocious face. “It has alwasy been the case that the challnger sets the rules. Will General Sehn flee on the battlefield because the enemy is too powerful?” After saying that, he seemed to find it funny and laughed.
Shen Miao’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.
These people were all mocking Shen Xin. Did they really think she was the weakness of First Branch of the Shen family? She looked at Cai Lin, who had a smug smile on his face, and then at the malicious mockery of the people present. The anger that had been accumulating for a long time finally burst out.
Shen Miao, who had been reborn, could tolerate it, but Empress Shen, the head of the harem, couldn’t.
She said coldly, “My father fought bloody battles outside to protect the country. That’s why there is a chrysanthemum banquet today and a competition between students.” A trace of mockery flashed across her eyes. “Wining the competition is nothing compared to fighting for the country. As for the rules you set, why should I be afirad?”
Everyone was stunned.
“Why shoul I be afriad? Your archery skills are superb, so you’ll naturally hit the apple. I’m not good at archery, so if I miss, you’ll be the one who’ll be in danger.”
She smiled, and her voice seemed to come from afar, eveloping the venue.
“In that’s what you want, sign the life and death contract. If you’re injured or killed, I won’t bear the consequences.”
“Do you dare, Cai Lin?”
