You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 205 Xiao Yan opens the screen

"Why? Miss Lin is afraid that Master Cheng will lose?"

Xiao Yun's voice was very soft, so soft that it sounded like a mockery to people who heard it.

But only Lin Zhaoyue, who was familiar with him, could hear the weirdness in his voice.

The pair of black eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, and his gaze was fixed on her.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at him with a calm expression:

"Mr. Yan just said that Mr. Cheng's archery skills are unparalleled in the world. I am not afraid, but this is my welcoming party, and seeing blood is not good after all."

Is she protecting Cheng Wang?

Obviously, he had taken the Blood Lotus Pill, so he should not feel any pain or sensation. However, now, Xiao Yan felt as if his heart was pricked by a needle and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Yan didn't look at her again, but looked at Cheng Wang:

"Mr. Cheng, do you dare?"

Cheng Wang has been a favored child since childhood and has never been provoked like this. Now that others have said so, if he does not accept the challenge, wouldn't he be a coward?

There are no cowards in the Cheng family!

Cheng Wangwei raised his chin and said in a cold voice:

"Why don't you dare?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Zhaoyue who had just defended him and said:

"Since Miss Lin doesn't want to see blood, let's change the punishment method. The loser... well, kneel down and kowtow three times. How about that?"

Xiao Yan looked at him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and replied:

"Just follow what Master Cheng said."

Lin Wan looked at the two of them, then glanced at Lin Zhaoyue.

Although she had been at the border for two years, Cheng Wang was doing business and, like his second brother, he often traveled around the country, so she had only met him three times.

Her impression of Cheng Wang was that he was arrogant and scheming, with a ruthless heart but also a vindictive mind. He seemed to be a contradiction, difficult to see clearly and difficult to understand.

But the eldest brother is more familiar with him.

The purple-robed man was said to be the illegitimate son of a branch of the Yan family. He had a decent appearance, an upright figure, and an outstanding temperament. However, he went against Cheng Wang as soon as he arrived. No one knew whether he really had the ability or was just being arrogant.

But since the two of them have already made the bet, as the head of the family, she only needs to meet their needs.

Lin Wan led everyone to the spacious yard and had people set up the targets.

Cheng Wang and Xiao Yun stood opposite each other, each holding a bow and arrow.

Cheng Wang looked at the bow and arrow in Xiao Yun's hand, his eyes slightly raised, with a hint of contempt and a hint of arrogance of a superior.

The bow and arrow in Xiao Yun's hand was an ordinary bow and arrow from the Lin Mansion. Although it was of better quality than the general bows and arrows on the market and was used in combat, for someone who specialized in archery, it was not presentable at all.

Which archer doesn’t have a bow and arrow of his own?

The crowd formed a semicircle around the two of them and whispered:

"Who do you think will win, Master Cheng or Master Yan?"

"Is there any need to guess? Of course it's Master Cheng! Look at that Yan guy, he doesn't even have a decent bow and arrow."

"That's right. Everyone in Beizhou City knows that Master Cheng has been learning from Master Xuan since he was young. He is an expert in archery and horse riding..."

……

The sounds around them penetrated into the ears of the two people. Cheng Wang looked at Xiao Yan, but saw that his expression was indifferent and he was not affected at all.

He frowned and was about to look away, but Xiao Yan looked at him at this moment.

When their eyes met, an unknown smell of gunpowder spread in the air. The atmosphere was extremely tense, as if even the air had solidified.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan curled his lips and smiled, making a gesture of invitation:

"Brother Cheng, please!"

"Since Brother Yan is so humble, then Cheng will come first."

Since he had come first, Cheng Wang would not give him the chance to show off and would directly crush the other party's proud heart.

What he liked to watch most was how a proud person bowed his head in front of him.

"Miss Lin, please arrange for a horse to come over."

Lin Wan asked someone to bring a horse over. Cheng Wang, holding a bow and arrow, flipped over and mounted the horse swiftly.

He subconsciously glanced at Lin Zhaoyue, but saw that her eyes were on Yan Xiao.

Cheng Wang frowned subconsciously.

So is Yan Xiao prettier than him or does she have a better family background than him?

There have always been only women around him. When has Cheng Wang ever been treated so coldly?

Suddenly, even the good impression that Lin Zhaoyue had just given him in defending him dropped a lot.

Is this Second Miss Lin probably blind?

At this moment, the "blind" Lin Zhaoyue was speculating on Xiao Yun's intentions.

Lin Zhaoyue knew that Xiao Yan would never do anything meaningless.

Everything he did and everything he said had a purpose.

Why was he so determined to compete with Master Cheng in archery?

Did he notice that the Cheng family wanted to cooperate with the Cheng family or target the Cheng family?

Cheng Wang held his breath, tightened the reins in his hands, and the horse under his crotch immediately galloped out.

He raised the golden bow in his hand, pulled out five arrows from the quiver and put them on the bow, pulled the string, and let go. His movements were smooth and seamless.

Five arrows were fired at the same time, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard. The five arrows hit the center of the bull steadily, and everyone applauded.

Looking at the five arrows on the target, Cheng Wang pulled up a satisfied smile.

He put away his bow and arrow, walked back holding the reins, rode his horse to Xiao Yan, and looked down at him.

"Brother Yan, it's your turn."

Xiao Yan looked at Cheng Wang's provocative eyes and said with a smile:

"Since Master Cheng is riding a horse and shooting arrows, I will not take advantage of you, so I will just blindfold myself!"

Cheng Wang always thought that he was arrogant enough, but he never thought that there were people who were even more arrogant than him.

He looked at Xiao Yan disdainfully and said:

"Then I hope Master Yan will be able to laugh later."

Blindfolded archery?

Haha, even his master may not be able to do it.

Everyone was also in an uproar:

"How can you shoot arrows blindfolded? You can't even see."

"That's right. I've never seen anyone shooting arrows blindfolded. I'm afraid this is just a trick!"

"Archery is all about accuracy. If you can still shoot with your eyes covered, then doesn't that mean a blind person can also practice archery?"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

Amid the laughter of the crowd, everyone heard Yan Xiao put forward an even more ridiculous condition:

"Miss Lin, please send eight people over there to carry the target."

Not only do they have to be blindfolded, but they also have to shoot at live targets. Everyone instantly quieted down, and then burst into even louder noises.

Some people even questioned it directly:

"Master Yan, what if we miss the target and someone dies?"

"Then Yan will pay with his life."

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking.

In the eyes of these young masters and ladies, the lives of servants are worthless.

Since the young master said so, what else do they have to say? Just watch the show.

Lin Wan looked at Xiao Yan. For some reason, she suddenly had an absurd idea.

She now felt that Young Master Yan was not arrogant, but was just... like a peacock spreading its tail.

She glanced at Lin Zhaoyue and, as Xiao Yun had said, asked eight people to hold the target.

Xiao Yan looked at the eight people who kept moving, took off the black cloth and covered their eyes.

He drew eight more arrows from the quiver.

When everyone saw him pull out eight arrows at once, there was another uproar, and even Cheng Wang's eyes became different.

If he could hit eight live targets with his eyes blindfolded, he would kowtow to him three times and would accept him as his master.

Xiao Yun had eight arrows on the bow, and his ears moved slightly.

Everyone held their breath and stared at him.

Xiao Yun's jade-white fingers loosened, and eight arrows flew out like lightning.

The arrow hit the moving target accurately, and the air became quiet in an instant.

Someone in the crowd let out a sharp roar.

"I got it, I got it all!"

"Eight arrows were fired at the same time, blindfolded and shot at a live target, and all hit the center of the target. Even Master Xuan may not be able to do this! It's amazing."

"Compared to him, Master Cheng is not at the same level at all. I thought Master Cheng's archery skills had reached the pinnacle, but I didn't expect that there are always people better than you..."

……

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Xiao Yun took off the black cloth from his eyes and subconsciously looked at Lin Zhaoyue.

Lin Zhaoyue was also looking at him, but with no expression on her face.

In the past, whenever he casually drew a picture or wrote a poem, she would praise it endlessly, but now...

Looking at Lin Zhaoyue's cold eyes, Xiao Yan felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

He picked up the bow and arrow, walked towards her, and held out his hand:

"Shouldn't Miss Lin's flowers be given to Yan?"
