Liu Xiyuan's eyes widened. "You..."
She suddenly felt a desire to retreat.
Especially the ten arrows on the bullseye, which seemed to be a clear reminder to her.
It wasn't what she thought.
No...
Impossible.
From the group, she saw Zhan Xiaojun as an idiot who knew nothing.
If she hadn't cheated just now, it was a fluke. Today, Zhan Xiaojun was just lucky, definitely not because Zhan Xiaojun was better than her!
She took a deep breath.
As the elevator behind her opened, she gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay, we'll do as you say! But if I win, you have to do the same!"
"Okay," Zhan Xiaojun agreed without blinking.
Qian Yue frowned, a bad feeling starting to brew in her heart.
She felt that Liu Xiyuan still wouldn't win this time.
After Grandma Ning and the others got out of the elevator, they saw Zhan Xiaojun and the others in the shooting range.
However, Grandma Ning signaled for the people behind her to remain silent.
A hotel staff member had just informed her about what was happening here.
Xiaojun was competing with the granddaughter of the Liu family.
"Do you want to go first or should I?" Zhan Xiaojun asked.
Liu Xiyuan took a deep breath and bit her lip, "I'll go first!"
This time, she couldn't be arrogant, nor could she be affected by the previous match. She absolutely had to win! She had no retreat.
If she didn't win, she could leave Yan City!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Out of ten arrows, only one slightly missed the bullseye.
This score was already the best she could achieve this year. After all, without professional coaching, her skills hadn't improved much.
She breathed a sigh of relief and sneered at Zhan Xiaojun.
It might have been Zhan Xiaojun's luck just now, but what about this time?
She would watch closely, and under so many pairs of eyes, would anyone still help Zhan Xiaojun cheat!
The one who would end up with ten slaps would only be Zhan Xiaojun.
Zhan Xiaojun picked up the arrows and, with the same approach as before, her speed was also extremely fast.
Compared to the first round, Liu Xiyuan had no intention of watching Zhan Xiaojun, nor did she pay attention to how Zhan Xiaojun shot the arrows.
Now, seeing Zhan Xiaojun's ease and composure with her own eyes, her face gradually turned pale.
Because she clearly saw each arrow hitting the bullseye!
Only the last arrow remained.
Liu Xiyuan clenched her fists, her face turning paler.
No...
It can't be!
It must miss!
However.
After Liu Xiyuan saw the last arrow hit the bullseye, her vision went black, and her body instinctively leaned back, nearly fainting.
Fortunately, someone supported her.
It was Qian Yue who supported Liu Xiyuan.
Liu Xiyuan then noticed that Grandma Ning and her grandmother had arrived.
Her mouth buzzed, and her heart was filled with fear. It was over, she had disgraced the Liu family!
"Xiao Xi, you didn't perform well today, so you lost, alas." Qian Yue sighed.
It wasn't that she was mean-spirited; after a sigh, she realized something. With Liu Xiyuan's situation, everyone would forget that she had been inferior at playing the guqin just now.
She could still save some face.
"It's... losing a competition is normal. We're not professional archers." Grandma Liu's face looked somewhat unpleasant. She felt that her granddaughter had embarrassed her today.
If you lack the ability, don't compete with others casually.
Losing would be too embarrassing!
"Winning and losing are indeed normal. However, Miss Liu and I have a wager. If she loses, she has to give ten slaps and shout that she's a bumpkin. Now it's time to fulfill the wager, Miss Liu." Zhan Xiaojun looked at Liu Xiyuan and reminded her coolly.
"What?" Grandma Liu's face, already unpleasant, became even uglier. Her eyes stared at her granddaughter like knives. "Xiao Xi, you actually made a wager with her?"
Losing was one thing, but such a humiliating wager!
Anyone with eyes could see what was going on.
The word "bumpkin" was definitely what Xiao Xi and the others wanted Zhan Xiaojun to say herself.
As a result, now she's subtly slapping them in the face!
The one whose face hurt wasn't Zhan Xiaojun, but them!
"Grandma, I... I thought I wouldn't..." Liu Xiyuan was about to explain herself when she suddenly realized she had said the wrong thing.
She quickly lowered her head and said, "We do have a wager, but..."
Grandma Ning looked thoughtfully at the others, then walked to Xiaojun and took her hand. "Xiaojun, Grandma has wronged you today. If I had known, Grandma wouldn't have asked you to come here."
If Xiaojun wasn't a smart girl, she would have been ridiculed today.
"Grandma, I'm fine. We were just practicing shooting together, and they like to make wagers. I'll just play along," Zhan Xiaojun replied with a light smile.
Grandma Ning's words had already made them regret it, but Zhan Xiaojun's words made them utterly ashamed.
In Zhan Xiaojun's eyes, their schemes were just child's play?
"Miss Liu, don't you intend to honor the wager? Or is it that Miss Liu's upbringing means she doesn't keep her promises? You can restrain others, but not yourself?" Zhan Xiaojun's voice suddenly turned icy.
Liu Xiyuan took a big step back, her face even paler, and her eyes turning red.
She had never been so embarrassed before.
"This wager is too... I'll record a video for you when I get home. There are too many people here now, you see..." Liu Xiyuan bit her lip. Although she was speaking to Zhan Xiaojun, her eyes were fixed on Grandma Ning.
She was now putting on a show of being wronged and pitiful, hoping that Grandma Ning would feel that Zhan Xiaojun was being too aggressive.
Why was she pushing her luck? Couldn't she just say the wager was void herself?
"It's better to do it here. The wager was made here, so let's fulfill it here in front of everyone. Otherwise, when we leave here today, there will be rumors in Yan City that people from the Liu family don't keep their word," Zhan Xiaojun said indifferently.
She was never a saintly or pure white lotus.
Didn't Liu Xiyuan and the others block her by the restroom door earlier, and then propose a wager, and now they regretted it?
She wouldn't fall for that.
Even if it were her three older brothers, they wouldn't fall for it.
Grandma Ning glanced at Grandma Liu unobtrusively.
Grandma Liu was startled when she heard the words "Liu family members don't keep their word." This rumor absolutely couldn't get out!
Otherwise, how could her sons conduct their business in Yan City?
"We Liu family members have always dared to act and dared to admit it. Xiao Xi, hurry up and fulfill the wager!" Grandma Liu commanded Liu Xiyuan.
Liu Xiyuan's tears fell uncontrollably. Seeing everyone looking at her, she could only raise her hand and slap herself.
One slap after another.
It was as if she was slapping her humiliation onto her face.
"Miss Liu seems to have forgotten what she needs to say while slapping herself," Zhan Xiaojun reminded her coolly.
Liu Xiyuan's hand, which was slapping her face, trembled violently. She suddenly looked at Zhan Xiaojun.
Zhan Xiaojun smiled charmingly, "I was afraid Miss Liu would forget."
