Seth…..
The arrow that Lin Hao shot through had already shot, it was just that it was very slow like it was not powered up and lasted for a while in the air then fell.
Not only did it not reach the target, even touching Jiang Xia Yan's clothes did not. His arrow had no energy like it was passed by a little boy who had just learned archery.
The faces of everyone who was originally tense now look cheerful and a big smile plastered there. Even until someone broke down – bahak laughed at Lin Hao's stupidity today.
“ Shit !!!..the girl humiliated me again !!...”, inner Lin Hao while clenching her hands furiously.
Lin Hao wiped the sweat off his forehead with one arm and immediately pulled the bow again. This time the arrows of the two landed right in front of Jiang Xia Yan's feet.
Making everyone's laughter instantly break apart until the hall became noisy. Some even rolled – bolsters laugh at him.
“ It seems that Lin Hao is starting to fall for this third young miss Jiang. If not, how could he protect her and act silly like this..”, said one student while grinning at her aching stomach from not stopping laughing.
Seeing himself being the laughingstock of everyone, Lin Hao tried to focus until his third arrow combed Jiang Xia Yan's hair and hit the fruit right in the girl's head.
But to everyone's astonishment, Jiang Xia Yan's face remained flat and calm despite the darts darting rapidly towards him.
His long black hair instantly fluttered in the wind, but his body was completely motionless like a tree that had planted thousands of years there.
“ Very beautiful and brave..”, said prince Ming Qianfan fascinated.
He raised a sharp gaze like a ferocious beast that was stalking its weak, helpless prey.
After struggling quite hard, Lin Hao's body instantly softened. His bow and arrows fell on the floor along with his body.
The entire audience fell silent, even a fool knew that the one who was scared here was not Jiang Xia Yan, but Lin Hao whose face was already as pale as cotton.
“ My turn...”, said Jiang Xia Yan with a mocking smile.
Jiang Xia yan's flat words made cold sweat back pouring profusely on Lin Hao when he saw the word “ I will kill you ” looks from his lips even though no sound makes the young man's body immediately stiffened.
As soon as he saw Jiang Xia Yan standing before Lin Hao with a bow and three arrows, everyone again focused on gazing into the arena of the match.
They had not expected to see anything like this at first because they were very confident that the match would not last long because Jiang Xia Yan would cry in fear and kneel down for the match to stop.
But everyone's prediction missed, it was precisely here that was scared and had the courage to sneak up on Lin Hao.
Even the young man broke out in cold sweat and immediately limp as soon as he finished the archery where his two arrows missed and did not reach the target properly.
Everyone looked at the facts today and considered the bad rumors that were spread these past ten years were the deeds of someone who deliberately wanted to take down Jiang Shing's daughter.
The prickling began to occur and everyone's gazes immediately turned to the second family and the third Jiang family sharply.
Everyone guessed it must be the two families who breathed out the bad rumors because as everyone knew that only the first family was the legitimate child of elder Jiang.
“ Look Jiang Xia Yan is very beautiful and brave, there must be someone who deliberately to ruin her reputation all this time.”.
“ At such a young age he has been very extraordinary so no wonder if it raises jealousy..”.
“ I didn't expect anyone to use such sneaky means..”
“ Even if his son is very talented, high class nobles and princes will give priority to legitimate offspring…. ”
So once their guise was exposed, the two families were unprepared for the reality and are now trying to ignore their sense of hearing so as not to be provoked.
The fourth prince Ming Jun and the third prince Ming Xue exchanged glances for a moment and immediately flashed a gaze to the second prince Ming Shin.
“ Looks like we both have guessed wrong brother.Jiang Xia Yan turned out to be right – true young brave woman...”, said fourth prince Ming Juan while smiling meaningfully.
“ Second brother...are you sorry to have rejected this extremely talented young lady ?..”, said third prince Ming Xue with a probing look.
Not wanting to make his brother think he was targeting the Jiang family to support him, the second prince Ming Shin was trying to dodge.
“ She is a graceful and brave young woman but unfortunately, she is not the person I like..”, said second prince Ming Shin as flat as possible.
Although the second prince Ming Shin had fallen into the charm of Jiang Xia Yan in this change, but he also still had many questions that stuck in his heart.
“ Is it true he only pretended – stupid temple all this time...”.
“ But why ?...”
“ It was very unfortunate for him..”.
“ Did he intentionally do it all to make me not like him..”, inner second prince Ming Shin was restless if true the last reason used by Jiang Xia yan to appear stupid and ridiculous all along.
When the four princes were seen conversing with each other by issuing their opinions regarding Jiang Xia Yan, on the other hand Han Shan Yang seemed to be frowning unhappily when he heard Prince Ming Qianfan muttering softly.
Most likely the man was imagining – perverted things while staring at the makeup of Jiang Xia Yan.
Although he was not happy, but he was just a commoner who did not have any power to help the girl who was his student who was made the object of this lecherous man.
Seeing that Lin Hao was still standing in a daze, Jiang Xia Yan took the initiative to pick up an apple and give it to the young man.
“ Jiang Xia Yan...can you shoot archery ?...”, asked Lin Hao anxiously.
“ No...”, Jiang Xia Yan replied briefly.
After giving Lin Hao an apple, Jiang Xia Yan returned to his original place and prepared to shoot.
Lin Hao placed the apples on his head with trembling hands. His body now seemed to shiver in fear.
On the verge of death, Lin Hao shouted in frustration “ You can not shoot..It is clear that the arrow will not hit the fruit and I will die in vain – sia..”.
His loud speech instantly attracted the attention of everyone who saw Lin Hao's body tremble violently.
“ Young master Lin is ridiculous. Not from the beginning you know this, but still forced. Now the competition has begun and you have taken your turn. Now it is my turn to shoot..”, Jiang Xia Yan said in a no less loud voice until everyone could hear every word he said.
Discussions again occurred within the hall. They flatly – criticized how could Lin Hao cancel the match whereas he himself proposed this additional rule.
Even he had already shot Jiang Xia Yan. Now that it was the girl's turn to reply, she felt unwelcome.
Lin Hao's love for Jiang Xialun and his deep grudges turned out to make him have to go into this deep pit of suffering.
If he knew the ending would be like this, he certainly would not have acted implusively like this. Just because of a single word of provocation from Jiang Xialun, Lin Hao could move aggressively without thinking about the impact.
