Chapter 469: Beat Up!

No one could say that Wei Ting was playing favorites and deliberately gave it to Su Xiaoxiao.
If they could not even achieve this, few in the entire capital would be able to get it.
She did it exactly how Wei Ting demonstrated!
The young ladies were dumbfounded.
They seriously suspected that she had not come to the palace to study recently because had secretly gone to learn how to ride a horse.
A daughter who usually followed Guo Lingxi’s lead said sarcastically, “What’s so strange about that? She’s the eldest daughter of the Qin family and the cousin of the Su family. So many people have taught her!”
Lu Hui sneered. “Heh, if you have the ability, get so many people to teach you. Let’s see what results you can achieve!”
Lu Ying added, “That’s right!”
Leng Zhiruo didn’t say anything. She looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression, as if she was also surprised by the other party’s improvement.
Princess Hui An looked at Guo Lingxi proudly. ‘You’re nothing special. You can’t even compare to a little follower of the princess!”
Princess Hui An unilaterally announced that Su Xiaoxiao was her sidekick! Guo Lingxi mocked, “Aren’t you inferior too?”
Princess Hui An was not swayed by her provocation. “I don’t want to compete with her! It’s enough to compete with you!”
Guo Lingxi only got a C-, while she got a B!
She could hold her head high!
Guo Lingxi sneered. “Have you forgotten that she’s going to marry Wei Ting?”
Princess Hui An blurted out, “I didn’t forget…’ F*ck, she really forgot…
Princess Hui An’s expression darkened.
Guo Lingxi smiled and left.
Princess Hui An turned around and glared at Su Xiaoxiao, who was talking to Wei Ting.
“Princess, what’s wrong?” the accompanying little palace maid asked.
Princess Hui An stared fixedly at the two of them who were chatting happily. She placed her hands on her hips and said angrily, “I don’t like Brother Ting today!”
Next was the archery competition.
Compared to the intensity of riding, the test for archery skills was milder.
There were a total of two groups of ten people in a group. The target was also divided into two difficulties, 30 steps and 50 steps.
To the daughters of the palace school, it was already very difficult to aim at a target at 30 steps, let alone 50 steps.
Each of them had ten arrows in their hands. All ten arrows hitting the bullseye at 50 steps would clinch an A+.
Don’t even think about it. It was impossible. Even if the archers of the Divine Bow Camp came, they could not guarantee this result.
Otherwise, why would they say that Wei Ting was a freak?
Guo Lingxi did not perform well in riding, but that was not entirely her fault. The horse took up half of the rating, but it was different for archery.
She would not make another mistake.
She would definitely get the best results in this round!
She drew the first group. This time, she did not change groups.
Princess Hui An was in the same group as her.
Princess Hui An had once hit the bullseye (she thought so). Although she had never hit it again after that, she was still extremely confident.
She didn’t even look at the target at 30 steps and fired left and right at the target at 50 steps.
The effect was indeed shocking.
She didn’t hit a single target. All of them missed the target.
Guo Lingxi understood the importance of the first arrow first. If she did not shoot well, it was very likely to put pressure on her and cause her to lose her confidence later.
Therefore, she started off with a target at 30 steps.
Bullseye!
She composed herself and drew the second arrow calmly, hitting the bullseye at 50 steps!
Everyone gasped.
Wasn’t Princess Lingxi too powerful?
She could hit the bullseye at 50 steps?!
Guo Lingxi performed extremely well. All ten arrows hit the target. Other than the first arrow, which was at 30 steps, the other nine arrows were at 50 steps. Moreover, five arrows hit the bullseye, and the other four were at the edge.
This result was almost beyond the reach of the daughters.
Leng Zhiruo was also in this group. At 50 steps, she hit one less target than Guo Lingxi.
The first group was so strong that the daughters of the second group felt pressured.
“Calm down,” Princess Jingning comforted Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, okay.”
Princess Hui An walked over and said arrogantly, “Shoot accurately! Don’t be inferior to her!”
Princess Jingning said, “If you say another word, I’ll beat you up.”
Princess Hui An sneered. “Do you dare to?”
Princess Jingning raised her bow.
Princess Hui An flashed behind Su Xiaoxiao in a second!
Princess Jingning was only testing the bow. How could she really beat someone up here?
“Useless. ”
She looked away calmly.
“Hmph!” Princess Hui An stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes before walking away.
Su Xiaoxiao pulled the bow and the young eunuch handed her the quiver.
Su Xiaoxiao took out an arrow and aimed at the target at 50 steps.
Accompanied by a scalp-numbing sound, the arrow sped away at lightning speed!
Swish!
Everyone gasped.
What happened?
Miss Su… missed the target?
Lu Ying whispered, “I-I don’t think it’s strange. Her archery skills have never been top-notch, and she hasn’t come to class for so long… She’s probably rusty…”
Princess Jingning turned around and frowned at Su Xiaoxiao.
“What happened?” she asked.
Wei Ting also frowned strangely.
She drew the bow in the right posture and with good strength. She didn’t deviate from her aim. She shouldn’t have missed the target…
He looked at the arrow that had hit the ground.
Now that everyone was shooting arrows, they naturally could not let the young eunuch take the risk of being shot into a hedgehog to pick up the arrows.
Su Xiaoxiao took out the second arrow and said calmly, “Someone tampered with the arrow.”
“What?” Princess Jingning’s eyes turned cold.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the tampered arrow in her hand. “It’s so well-concealed.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the tampered arrow in her hand. “It’s so well-concealed. If you don’t shoot, you won’t be able to see any flaws.”
Princess Jingning handed her quiver over without hesitation. “Use my arrow!”
Once the exam began, they could not change bows and arrows. This was the rule, so before beginning, everyone had to carefully check their bows and arrows.
But she was a princess. She had privileges.
At most, she would not take the test.
“No need,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Princess Jingning opened her mouth. “You…”
“Ting… Master Wei! Her arrow is broken!” Princess Hui An complained to Wei Ting. “It must be Guo Lingxi!”
Guo Lingxi said coldly, “What does it have to do with me? If she doesn’t check it herself, why blame others?” “If it were you, would you be able to discover it?”
“Of course I can check.”
“You only know how to talk!” Princess Hui An scratched her ears and cheeks.
“Change the arrow! Change the arrow! Change the arrow!”
Guo Lingxi said, “No!”
Princess Lingxi said, “I want to change!”
Wei Ting looked at Su Xiaoxiao calmly. “On the battlefield, you can only shoot whatever arrow you get. If you exchange with your comrades, they will be the ones to sacrifice!”
Princess Hui An was anxious. “What battlefield? This is just an exam!”
Su Xiaoxiao nocked the arrow again.
Wind direction, southeast.
Wind speed, level three.
She deviated from the original position and moved to the left. Deviated angle, 17 degrees.
Su Xiaoxiao drew the bow to the full and moved it to the right.
With a swish, it hit the bullseye!
Everyone was stunned.
Didn’t they just say that… there was something wrong with the arrow?
How could she hit it like this?
Guo Lingxi was also in disbelief. “How…”
Su Xiaoxiao shot arrows at the target at 50 steps.
Her black hair and robe were blown up by the cold wind. Her focused gaze and powerful aura made her look awe-inspiring to all the young ladies.
This was not a bullseye, but their hearts!
Ten arrows. One missed the target, and the other nine hit the bullseye!
Wei Ting announced the results.
Princess Lingxi received a B.
Su Xiaoxiao was an entire level higher than her despite her first arrow missing the target.
The daughters screamed in their hearts and looked at Su Xiaoxiao differently.
Guo Lingxi’s face was ashen and her eyes filled with disbelief..
