Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Winning the Contest 1

Translator: 549690339??????????????????? —

Everyone knew of Xiu Fengyuan’s skills, it was not surprising that all of his throws landed. But it was surprising that Wei Ruo, as a woman, succeeded in all of her five tries!

Not to mention she suggested that this was her first time playing. Even if she had been playing all along, her accurate throws as a woman were still impressive.

No matter the final outcome, Miss Wei had gained the limelight of the day. Like everyone else, Xiu Fengyuan’s admiration and awe for Wei Ruo had also increased.

Wei Ruo had a faint smile on her face, and her eyes would occasionally glance at the attendant holding the brocade box by Lu Yuhong’s side.

Lingzhi and wild ginseng were medically supreme and rare, and with all of them, some top-grade medicine could be made.

At this moment, Xiu Yaojun had become somewhat anxious. Seeing Wei Ruo’s smile on her face was like a thorn in her eye.

In Xiu Yaojun’s heart, she muttered: Isn’t it too early to be happy now? It’s not over yet.

Although Xiu Yaojun was extremely dissatisfied, she had to face the reality that the Wei siblings were ahead of her and her brother by a point.

Sixth round:

Xiu Fengyuan: Hit;

Wei Yichen: Missed;

Xiu Yaojun: Hit;

Wei Ruo: Hit. freēwēbnovel.com

Seventh round:

Xiu Fengyuan: Hit;

Wei Yichen: Hit;

Xiu Yaojun: Missed;

Wei Ruo: Hit.

After two rounds of competition, the situation hadn’t changed significantly. The Wei siblings still had a one-point lead.

There was only one round left, and Xiu Yaojun became increasingly anxious. Her strong desire to win made her reluctant to lose.

Xiu Yaojun looked worried and asked Xiu Fengyuan quietly, “Brother, what should we do? Are we going to lose?”

Xiu Fengyuan smiled softly and said relaxedly, “If we lose, it’s not a big deal.” freeωebnovēl.c૦m

“I don’t want to lose to them surnamed Wei!”

“Didn’t I say at the beginning, we’re just playing for fun, so take it easy.”

“But you’ve never lost at such games before!”

“The competition is fair, loss or win depends on capability, there is no constant general of victory, and I won’t be an exception. After all, Miss Wei is so skillful, losing to her is nothing to be ashamed about, so take it easy,” Xiu Fengyuan said.

Despite Xiu Fengyuan’s strenuous persuasion, Xiu Yaojun’s dissatisfaction remained unabated.

In her heart, Wei Qingruo and Wei Qingwan’s dazzling performance shouldn’t overshadow hers.

The final round began, and Xiu Fengyuan threw his last piece.

As expected, he succeeded.

Applauses and praises for him were heard in the crowd:

“Brother Xiu is very skilled!”

“Brother Fengyuan’s throwing is still as impressive as ever!”

“Brother Fengyuan is gifted both in literary and martial arts!”

Even in the face of public praise, Xiu Fengyuan remained humble and said, “It was just my lucky day today that allowed me to succeed.”

Then Wei Yichen also threw his final piece, which also hit the target.

After succeeding, Wei Yichen let out a sigh of relief. At the beginning, he was not very concerned about the outcome of this contest, but as it progressed, if he hadn’t succeeded with this last piece, he would have been a hindrance to his sister, which was something he would hate to see.

As of now, Wei Yichen had scored with five of his eight pieces, which was more than half, and was a regular performance for him.

Then it was Xiu Yaojun’s turn. She appeared to be slightly nervous as she held the piece in her hand, staring at the direction of the pot and not making the move for a while.

Everyone watched her, and they also felt tensed for her.

Right when everyone was about to lose their patience, Xiu Yaojun finally threw her last piece.

Just as Xiu Yaojun had hoped, the piece landed accurately in the pot with a “thud”.

At that moment, a smile crept onto Xiu Yaojun’s face.

She then immediately turned her head and stared at Wei Ruo, who was slowly coming over.

Xiu Yaojun glared at Wei Ruo, her eyes warning Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo sensed the hostility in Xiu Yaojun’s eyes and guessed that Xiu Yaojun probably didn’t want her succeeding and winning, causing her to lose face.

As long as Wei Ruo’s last piece was missed, their families would be tied.

But Wei Ruo ignored Xiu Yaojun’s warning. After getting into position, she completely focused on her own hands and eyes.

Without any hesitation or dragging, Wei Ruo swiftly tossed her last piece.

With the clear sound of piece entering the pot, Wei Ruo’s last piece was warranted as a success. Just like Xiu Fengyuan, all of her eight pieces had successfully landed.

At the same time, it was announced that the contest was over. The Wei siblings won today’s contest with a lead of one point.

Upon seeing this, the crowd erupted into cheers and praises again.

The praises for Wei Ruo were even more enthusiastic than those just for Xiu Fengyuan.

Because Xiu Fengyuan’s outstanding performance was expected but Wei Ruo’s was not.

Xiu Fengyuan walked over to Wei Ruo and sincerely congratulated her, “Miss Wei, you’ve won. I admit defeat.”

Wei Ruo replied with a faint smile, “Master Xiu didn’t lose to me at all. All of your eight pieces have succeeded, so as of the current situation, we’re tied.” Xiu Fengyuan said, “Today is a contest between siblings. My sister and I did lose to you and Brother Wei, so I do admit defeat.”

Xiu Fengyuan’s face was always filled with a soft smile. He looked calm and compliant.

Lu Yuhong walked forward and said to Wei Ruo, “I didn’t expect Miss Wei to be not only a great in character but also so proficient in tossing.”

Lu Yuhong was about to praise Wei Ruo for her excellent culinary skills but remembered what Chu Lan had said earlier and then changed his remarks.

“Master Lu, you flatter me too much. It’s just my luck that was good today, it’s not worth mentioning,” Wei Ruo said.

‘Making a successful hit with all eight pieces is not just luck. Just like us hitting the target while horseback archery. It could be luck if you hit once, but to continuously hit would have to be skill.”

Lu Yuhong ordered his attendant to give Wei Ruo the prizes he had prepared, saying, “These prizes are for you and your brother.”

Wei Ruo’s eyes were fixed on the two brocade boxes that Lu Yuhong’s attendant was carrying over.

One of Lu Yuhong’s attendants handed one of the brocade boxes to Xiumei and the other to Wei Yichen’s attendant.

After shifting her gaze back, Wei Ruo thanked Lu Yuhong, “Thank you for the generous gift, Master Lu.”

“You’re welcome, you’ve earned them with your skills,” Lu Yuhong replied.

We Yichen also expressed his gratitude to Lu Yuhong and then suggested that Wei Ruo and Xiu Yaojun return first.

Xiu Fengyuan agreed and said to the still frowning Xiu Yaojun, “Yaojun, you and Miss Wei can go back to your tea rooms. Brother Wei, our friends and I still have some things to see to.”

Xiu Yaojun was still immersed in anger from losing the competition and didn’t hear Xiu Fengyuan’s words for a while.

“Yaojun?” Xiu Fengyuan called Xiu Yaojun again.

Only then did Xiu Yaojun return to her senses.

“You and Miss Wei can go back to your tea rooms,” Xiu Fengyuan repeated again..
