"A person without credibility cannot stand, this rule was personally proposed by Cai Lin. Now you're going back on your word, does Lord Cai also have such a style in officialdom? Once the situation is unfavorable, can he immediately change the rules?"

  Cai Lin said earlier: "Guang Wenhall didn't deliberately open a precedent for someone. The challenger says what rules, what rules, how can the daughter of a great general also be such a timid and cowardly person?"

  His words still echoed in his ears, and now Shen Miao returned the original object, slapping Cai Da's face with a crisp sound, stuffing Cai Lin's mouth so that he was speechless.

  "You set the rules, and now you're not following them. With a sharp tongue and white teeth, how can anything be done? Even adults like Ming Qi are like this?" Her words were sharp and merciless, instantly escalating the situation, causing Cai's cold sweat to appear.

  In the officialdom, there are so many colleagues, and today's attendees include his relatives and friends, naturally, there are also his arch-enemies. Shen Miao's words fell into the ears of those who were paying attention, who knows what kind of article they would make out of it, let alone the fact that there are royal family members present here, if things go wrong, it might lead to the imperial family's suspicion, not just Cai Lin, but the entire Cai family might suffer as well.

  "Miss Shen is right." The speaker was Yu Qinwang, who smiled strangely at Shen Miao and said: "Lord Cai, Master Cai set the rules himself, so he should be the one to complete them."

  Yuqin Wang, when will you kindly help someone out of trouble? As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Miao, with various meanings, some understanding and some disdainful.

  Zhou Wang and Jing Wang exchanged a glance, and Jing Wang sighed: "Even King Shu has spoken up."

  "Maybe we'll have more young queens?" said King Zhou, who also found it amusing and shook his head without saying anything else.

  Yu Qin Wang has already spoken, and even if Lord Cai is dissatisfied, he wouldn't dare to refute at this moment. Although his heart was filled with shock and anger, he could only force himself to say: "Yes... it's just that I, your subordinate, didn't think it through." He gave Cai Lin a pitiful and angry glance before turning around and leaving.

  Cai Lin stared blankly as her father left, and she wasn't feeling calm either. She had thought that Shen Miao was just fierce with her words, but when facing Shen Miao's clear and piercing eyes, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She seemed like a silent and motionless wild beast, yet despite looking like an immature young girl, how did she give off such a frightening feeling?

  "He lowered his voice and said, 'If you hurt me, the Cai family will not let you off.' This was also a threat. Cai Lin is now in a difficult situation, Shen Miao's archery skills are so sharp that if he misses by even a fraction of an inch, his life will be over. He had seen it before when hunting with friends, where the arrow would hit the animal's eye or buttocks, and it was never a one-shot kill, the animal's struggles were truly miserable. Is he now just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?"

  He threatened like this, only hoping that Shen Miao would take action and know the extent of it. He lightly pulled the bow and made a show of it. He said in a low voice again: "If you behave yourself this time, I won't bother you at Guangwen Hall in the future."

  Shen Miao slightly raised an eyebrow and looked up at him.

  Cai Lin's expression was tense, as if he was afraid she wouldn't agree. Unfortunately, people like him were all too familiar to her. They were the type who bullied the weak and feared the strong, so now that they were scared, they would loosen up their grip. But once today's matter passed, Cai Lin would inevitably return to his old ways, and might even take advantage of the opportunity to retaliate because he had lost face.

  It's like a raccoon dog that has just left its nest in the jungle, thinking it dominates the jungle, but when it encounters a ferocious wolf, its face changes color. However, when it gets another chance, this raccoon dog will still try to find ways to make a move.

  Unfortunately, she was never a wolf, but a tiger. How to make this dog raccoon dare not come forward again is... to bite his neck off and let him never, ever dare to provoke again.

  She smiled slightly: "I asked you before, I'm right here, dare you kill me? Your archery skills just now have answered that question for you."

  "Now this question is in front of me, do you want to hear my answer?"

  Her small face was as smooth as jade, still slightly tender and delicate, like a young sprout growing on a spring day, pitifully lovely, but her words were cruel and made one's heart tremble.

  "I dare."

  After finishing this sentence, she turned around and walked onto the shooting platform.

  Cai Lin stood there in a daze, until the examiner called his name, and he came back to himself. Only then did he realize that everyone in the room was staring at him, their eyes filled with amusement.

  Her gaze fell on the pink-clad girl in the women's section, Shen Yue was talking to someone beside her and didn't even glance at the stage, he suddenly felt a little lost, and thought that his current behavior would make people even more disgusted.

  This is what he started, and now there's no reason to back down. If he loses to a mere woman, the Cai family will likely become a laughing stock in the capital, not to mention Shen Yue watching from below. If he ends up embarrassing himself, how can he face people in the future?

  Facing Shen Yue?

  A small and weak woman, speaking in such a terrifying manner, could it be that she actually dares to really kill someone? Even if she had made an oath of life and death, killing one person is not something that can be easily explained.

  Having thought this through, Cai Lin steeled himself and calmly walked to the white line three zhang away, placing the grass fruit on his head.

  Everyone looked at him and then at Shen Miao, feeling a strange sensation.

  "Guess, is it right or not?" Xie Jinghang said from afar.

  "Of course not." Su Mingfang stared at him: "Not to mention whether she has the guts to shoot Cai Lin, even if she does, is she capable of it? Women in the boudoir rarely practice martial arts, and Shen Miao is a person you should know in Dingjing, she can't do anything."

  Xie Jinghang smiled slightly: "Not necessarily."

  "You're not going to bet with me again, are you?"

  "Why bother with this extra move, I've already seen the ending."

  "What ending?"

  Xie Jing Hang lazily said: "You lose."

  Shen Yue looked at Shen Miao on stage, her heart inexplicably tightening. She asked Chen Ruqiu in a low voice, "Mother, will she hurt Cai Gongzi?"

  "It won't work naturally." Chen Ruoqiu looked at her daughter, who was also being teased by Shen Miao today, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She thought that she was still young and hadn't learned to control her emotions yet. She said: "It's not easy to hit the target just like that, I heard your uncle say before that drawing a bow also requires strength, you five sisters have never practiced archery in the mansion, it's likely that you'll be exhausted just by opening the bow. Don't think nonsense, your fifth sister is just playing around."

  Is Shen Miao just joking?

  It's not natural.

  She raised her hand, nocked the arrow, and drew the bowstring. Her movements were smooth and flowing, as if she had practiced them a thousand times before. There was no hesitation or uncertainty in her actions, no trembling of her hands. Her movements were so precise that it left no doubt that she was an expert archer.

  The next moment, the arrow shot from the bowstring with a strong murderous intent towards Cai Lin.

  The entire arena fell silent, and in the extreme stillness, the arrow that had fallen to the ground emitted a crisp sound.

  The arrow still has a bit of red on it.
