47 Seeing Red

"One cannot stand without trust. This rule was proposed by Cai Lin himself. Now going back on your word, could it be that Master Cai also behaves like this in the officialdom? Once the situation is unfavorable, you can change the rules immediately?"

Before, Cai Lin said, "Guang Wen School has never made an exception for someone. Whoever challenges decides the rules. Why, is the daughter of the great general also such a cowardly person?"

His words were still ringing in their ears. Now Ye Lily returned them exactly, slapping Master Cai's face loudly and leaving Cai Lin speechless.

"The rules were set by you, and now you don't want to follow them. With just your mouths, can you do whatever you want? Are all the adults in Ming Qi like this?" Her words were sharp and mercilessly enlarged the matter.

Master Cai's cold sweat immediately came down.

There were so many colleagues in the officialdom.

Among those present today, there were his friends and relatives, and naturally, there were also his rivals.

Ye Lily's words fell into the ears of those with intentions. Who knew what articles they would make out of it?

Moreover, there were also members of the royal family here. If it aroused the suspicion of the royal family, not to mention Cai Lin, even the entire Cai family might suffer.

"Miss Ye is right." It was Prince Yu who spoke.

He gave Ye Lily a strange smile and said, "Master Cai, the rules set by your son should naturally be completed by him."

When did Prince Yu ever kindly help someone out?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Ye Lily. There were various meanings in those gazes, some understanding, and some contemptuous.

Prince Zhou and Prince Jing looked at each other.

Prince Jing sighed, "Even Uncle has spoken."

"Perhaps we will have a young princess?" After saying that, Prince Zhou also found it funny and shook his head and stopped talking.

Since Prince Yu had spoken, even if Master Cai had any more dissatisfaction at this moment, he dared not refute.

Although he was angry and shocked in his heart, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes... It was my oversight."

He glared at Cai Lin with both grief and anger, then turned and left.

Cai Lin watched his father leave with wide eyes, and he was naturally not unanxious in his heart.

He originally thought that Ye Lily was probably just good at talking.

But when facing Ye Lily's clear eyes, his heart couldn't help but feel a chill.

She was like a quiet beast. Clearly looking like a young girl who hadn't grown up yet, why was the feeling so terrifying?

He lowered his voice and said, "If you hurt me, the Cai family will never let you go." This was also a threat.

Cai Lin was now in a dilemma. With Ye Lily's archery skills, if she deviated by a little, his life would be gone.

When he hunted with his friends, he had also seen when the arrow deviated and shot into the eyes or buttocks of the prey.

It wasn't a one-shot kill. The struggling appearance of the prey was really tragic. Could he be that prey now?

With such a threat, he only hoped that Ye Lily would be more measured and just pull the bow lightly and pretend.

He lowered his voice again and said, "If you are sensible this time, in the future... I won't trouble you in Guang Wen School in the future."

Ye Lily raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him.

Cai Lin looked nervous, afraid that she wouldn't agree.

Unfortunately, she had seen many such people in her previous life. They were just bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Now they were scared and gave in. Once today's matter passed, Cai Lin would definitely be the same as before, and even seek revenge for losing face.

It was like a young badger that just left its den in the jungle, thinking it could dominate the jungle.

When it met a fierce wolf, it changed its expression. But when there was a chance in the future, this badger would still try to challenge.

Unfortunately, she was never a wolf. She was a tiger.

How to make this badger never dare to provoke again? That was... bite off its neck and make it never, ever have the heart to challenge again.

She smiled slightly: "Before, I asked you, I'm right here. Dare you kill? Your arrow skills just now have answered this 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 a little tender, as if the young buds growing in spring were pitiful and lovely.

But her words were so cruel that they were terrifying.

"I dare."

After saying this, she turned and walked to the shooting platform.

Cai Lin stood still in a daze until the examiner called his name.

Then he came to his senses. Only to find that everyone was looking at him, with expressions of waiting to watch a good show.

Her gaze fell on the girl in pink in the female guests' seats from afar.

Ye Amy was talking to someone beside her and didn't look at the stage. Suddenly, he felt a little lost and felt that his current actions were even more disgusting.

It was he who provoked it. Now there was no reason to retreat.

If he lost to a woman, the Cai family would become a laughingstock in the capital.

Moreover, moreover, Ye Amy was watching from below.

If he made a fool of himself, how could he face Ye Amy in the future?

A little girl, speaking so terrifyingly. Could she really dare to kill someone?

Even if a life-and-death contract was signed, killing a person wasn't something that could be easily explained.

Thinking of this, Cai Lin cheered himself up in his heart, pretended to be calm, walked to the white line three zhang away, and placed the grass fruit on his head.

Everyone looked at him and then at Ye Lily, always feeling something strange.

In the distance, Xiao Jack said, "Guess, will it hit or not?"

"Of course not." Su Ming Feng glared at him: "Not to mention whether she has the guts to shoot Cai Lin, even if she dares, does she have the ability? There are few girls in the boudoir who practice martial arts. Besides, Ye Lily, you should know in Ding Jing that she knows nothing."

Xiao Jack chuckled softly: "Not necessarily."

"Are you going to bet with me again?"

"Why bother? I have already seen the ending."

Su Ming Feng was used to his friend's mystery of only saying a little about everything and said, "What ending?"

Xiao Jack said lazily: "You lose."

Ye Amy looked at Ye Lily on the stage, and her heart tightened for no reason.

She whispered to Chen Ruo Qiu, "Mother, will she shoot Young Master Cai?"

"Of course not." Chen Ruo Qiu saw that her daughter was also somewhat obsessed with Ye Lily today and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

Thinking that she was still too young and couldn't hold her composure. She said, "It's not that easy to hit. I heard your elder uncle say that pulling the bow also requires strength. Your fifth sister has never pulled a bow or shot an arrow in the mansion. I'm afraid it's already difficult for her to pull the bow. Don't think nonsense. Your fifth sister is just playing around?"

Was Ye Lily really playing around?

Of course not.

She raised her hand, placed the arrow, pulled the bow.

The movements were done in one go, as smooth as if she had practiced thousands of times.

There was no娇娇滴滴 inability to hold the hand, nor any hesitation on what to do.

The movements were extremely regular, making people have no doubt that she was a skilled archer.

The next moment, the arrow leaving the string rushed towards Cai Lin with full killing intent.

The whole place fell silent.

In the extreme silence, the arrow that fell to the ground made a crisp sound.

And the arrowhead still had a little red.
