The new guy got into a fight with someone? No way!
Meng Ruyi subconsciously looked up sharply and saw a dense crowd in front. It seemed that all the on - looking students in green robes were whispering to each other.
Shangguan Xue noticed Meng Ruyi's change, so she turned her head slightly, looking at the expression on her face, and said, "Miss Meng, do you want to go and have a look? It's been a long time since I last saw such a lively scene."
It seemed that the excitement in front might be related to Meng Ruyi, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly become interested.
Shangguan Xue showed no emotion on her face, with a gentle smile. She gently tucked the hair on her forehead behind her ear, revealing her beautiful and amorous eyes, and stared steadily at Meng Ruyi.
"Sure." Meng Ruyi also gave her a gentle smile and continued, "I just came to the academy. I've never seen such a lively scene before. Of course I have to go and take a look."
Meng Ruyi guessed that the person inside was most likely Song Huaizhi. Somehow, Song Huaizhi had taken a fancy to the once - and - for - all approach. He never dragged his feet when doing things. So this time, it was very likely that some clueless person had provoked him, and Song Huaizhi just took him as an example to assert his authority.
They walked forward. Shangguan Xue seemed to have an especially good reputation among the students. All the way, people greeted her. Seeing Meng Ruyi beside her, although they didn't know her, they still politely smiled at her out of respect for Shangguan Xue.
Up ahead was the training ground. They saw that the crowd was gathered in front of the archery targets, marveling in admiration. Meng Ruyi got closer and then heard the comments.
"Brother Wang's martial arts skills have really improved. He can hit five archery targets from a hundred steps away."
The man called Brother Wang couldn't hide his pride on his face, but he still tried to suppress the corners of his mouth and said, "Where, where. I haven't practiced for a long time. I was just lucky today."
Meng Ruyi: "..."
It had been a long time since she heard such a low - level self - praise.
[Hahaha, it's like those students in class who secretly study hard, then do extremely well in the exam but still pretend to be lucky. (Don't scold me. I'm one of them.)]
[Sister above is making me laugh so hard. Hahaha, sincerity is the best tactic!]
[I'm laughing so hard that I'm rolling on the floor. Yu Yu can hardly hide the corners of her mouth. Is this guy here to give them some easy experience? It's like a newbie map bonus.]
[The analogy above is so vivid. I'm already laughing. Yu Yu and Xiao Song, go for it!]
As he was saying this, the man surnamed Wang caught sight of Meng Ruyi and Shangguan Xue standing aside. His eyes suddenly widened, and he was stunned for a moment.
The people next to him were surprised when they saw that he had gone silent. They also turned their heads and saw two smiling young girls standing there. They had outstanding looks and extraordinary bearing.
"Miss Shangguan." The man surnamed Wang stepped forward and said to the two of them, "And this is..."
As he spoke, his ears were already burning red. His eyes unconsciously glanced at Meng Ruyi from time to time, looking like a shy young man in love.
"This is Miss Meng, a disciple of Mr. Lin."
"Miss Meng?" The man smiled at Meng Ruyi. He had a bit of youthful spirit and said heartily, "I'm Wang Lin."
Meng Ruyi returned his polite smile and began to search for Song Huaizhi's figure in the crowd.
She saw him outside the crowd, standing there with a longbow in his hand. He had broad shoulders and a slender waist. His face was expressionless, completely ignoring what was going on here.
It seemed that he hadn't made his move yet. So she wasn't late.
Watching Song Huaizhi draw the bow and let go, the arrow whistled through the air and in an instant was nailed into the archery target not far away.
The people who had been flattering just now finally came to their senses and remembered the other main character on the field.
After shooting one arrow, Song Huaizhi continued to take an arrow, draw the bow, and his movements were smooth. Before others could exclaim in surprise, he had already shot the remaining four arrows.
"This! How could this be!" Someone beside him couldn't help but cry out in surprise. He got closer to take a look, and his face was filled with admiration. "Every arrow hits the bull's - eye. Such excellent archery skills."
After saying that, he remembered that Wang Lin was standing beside him, so he coughed awkwardly twice and added, "Young Master Wang is also extraordinary. It's just that you haven't practiced for a long time. It's normal to be a bit rusty today."
Meng Ruyi listened to what Wang Lin had just said, and now it was like a knife stabbing into his own heart. He hung his head and stood there silently.
Wang Lin? Why did this name sound so familiar?
Meng Ruyi suddenly realized that the person in front of her seemed to look a bit like someone she hadn't seen for a long time. So she silently searched through her memory and finally found that she had indeed heard this name before.
Wang Lin was the eldest legitimate son of the older brother of Gu Ling's mother. It was said that he was about the same age as Gu Ling, so they had a good relationship. Occasionally, she could see the small trinkets he sent to Gu Ling from the capital.
So these cousins really lived up to their kinship. Their ways of making an entrance were really similar.
Meng Ruyi found it a bit funny in her heart.
After Song Huaizhi shot the arrows, he turned around and walked towards them. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the familiar young girl standing there, smiling brightly at the brainless Wang Lin.
The heart that had been calm just now suddenly stirred. He took a deep breath, his eyes were deep, but he still showed the gentle smile that he always had when facing Meng Ruyi.
"Brother Xiao Song." Meng Ruyi had been keeping an eye on Song Huaizhi from the corner of her eye. Seeing him coming, she couldn't help but step forward and blink at him.
Brother Xiao Song was not being low - key at all this time. He came up and showed his might right away.
Seeing Meng Ruyi's smile when looking at him, Song Huaizhi nodded and said gently, "Let's go back together later."
After saying that, he continued to walk towards Wang Lin.
"A bet is a bet." Wang Lin gritted his teeth, looking a bit dejected. He almost forgot that the two disciples of Mr. Lin came together. It was said that they had grown up together and their relationship was closer than that of siblings.
He quickly glanced at Meng Ruyi and gritted his teeth and said, "I was outmatched this time, but next time I will surely beat you."
Saying that, he took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Song Huaizhi, saying, "This is a token. Within my ability, I'm willing to do one thing for Young Master Song that doesn't harm others or violate morality."
Song Huaizhi reached out and took the jade pendant, smiling, "Young Master Wang is a man of his word. I naturally trust you."
"Then I'll take my leave first." Saying that, Song Huaizhi naturally walked towards Meng Ruyi and motioned for her to leave with his eyes.
"Then I'll take my leave. Thank you, Miss Shangguan, for your company today."
Meng Ruyi followed Song Huaizhi's steps.
"This..." The person beside Wang Lin couldn't help but feel indignant. "This guy is so arrogant. He has none of Mr. Lin's elegance."
"Exactly. This guy..."
"Shut up." Thinking of the scene where Meng Ruyi didn't hesitate to turn around and follow Song Huaizhi, Wang Lin felt a sense of loss in his heart. "I, Wang Lin, can afford to lose. Song Huaizhi is highly skilled in martial arts. It's normal for him to be a bit arrogant."
The man shut up.
[Was Song Huaizhi just declaring his sovereignty!!!]
[Goodness, he's so good at it! At this moment of victory, he also shows off that he has won the beauty's heart and warns other men. Brother Xiao Song is so manly!]
[Poor Wang Lin. Hahaha, his face turned red when he looked at Yu Yu just now! Poor thing, tsk tsk tsk.]
