Xiu Jia Li's
Episode 34's. The race began

Sunday had come, the competition had begun and great warriors from all over had arrived in the palace grounds.

Zheng who was one of the participants there, had already arrived and was holding his bow while looking around.

Apparently Zheng still hoped Xi Mei could be there and support him, but what power he could not find the whereabouts of the girl.

"Xi Mei, where are you? Did you forget your promise yesterday?" inner Zheng.

Zheng felt lethargic and not excited by Xi Mei's absence there, it was realized by one of the other participants who were nearby.

"Hey snot boy! You must be afraid of defeat, right? That's why you seem to doubt that. I suggest you just go home and help your mom wash the rice for a meal! Rather than you staying here, it's useless because you won't be able to win this competition!" abugn.

"No uncle, I won't go home or give up before the fight! Because that is not the attitude of a knight," Zheng said loudly.

"Hahaha.. Do you consider yourself a knight, snot boy? Listen, even your mentality is weak before the game. How can you call yourself a knight, huh?" smith again.

"My mentality isn't weak uncle, I'm just sad that I was forced to defeat an uncle older than me!" zheng said.

"Waw, you really challenged me young man! All right, let's prove later who's the greatest among us and who can win this race!" said it.

"Good uncle!" zheng said with a faint smile.

The man looked annoyed, he still looked at Zheng's face with a sharp look and clenched hands.

While Zheng was relaxed, looking straight ahead awaited the start of the time for me to travel.

Goongg....

Gong had sounded, Li Fan the palace general was preparing to start the competition this time.

"Alright, since every participant is already present here, then there is no need to linger anymore, we will immediately start this competition. Give his applause to these warriors!" said Li Fan.

All the citizens present as spectators began to cheer and clap to enliven the palace.

Xavier and Lien sat in their special seats with An Ming and the royal servants.

"We immediately call our first participant, he is a swordsman from Mount Fuji. Let's welcome you, this is the master Ng Tze Yong!" shouted Li Fan calling the first participant.

The first-order swordsman went up on stage with his bow.

However, just as suddenly a handsome young man appeared and landed right on the stage.

The young man stood beside the mountain swordsman Fuji and Li Fan, he took off the mask he was wearing and smiled at them.

The soldiers were about to attack him, but were prevented by Li Fan.

"Hey! Whoareyou? Why did you suddenly appear and land here? Don't you know that you're in the Quangzi Palace area?" li Fan asked in an irritated tone.

"Calm down, uncle! My name is Bowen Yong, and I come from a sacred forest over there" said the young man.

"Then, what do you want?" ask Li Fan.

"I don't want to make a mess here, I just want to follow the archery contest that the palace held. Actually I've wanted to register from yesterday, but the distance of my house to the palace is very far uncle, so I only until now. I'm sorry!" replied the young man named Bowen.

"All right, it's okay. You can still follow this competition, because the registration time is not closed. And you can take part here, but of course you have to wait at the very back until your turn comes!" said Li Fan.

"Good uncle! Then excuse me, once again I apologize for making such a mess!" bowen.

"No problem, we were just surprised. Please come down and wait there!" said Li Fan.

The young man named Bowen came down from the stage, then lined up like the others and waited for his turn to shoot.

Meanwhile, Chen and Xi Mei went secretly to the palace to watch the competition there.

Chen deliberately took Xi Mei away with his horse, because he felt he could not bear to see the girl looking gloomy after not being allowed to go to the palace by his uncle and aunt.

Xi Mei was of course very happy because she was able to go to the palace and see her mother.

"Sister Chen, thank you, you are so kind to me! To the extent that brother willingly anterin me to come to the palace, I am very happy to be able to go there and meet mommy! Thanks a lot, brother!" xi Mei.

"Together Xi Mei, but remember you should stay hidden and not be too flashy when in the palace later!" said Chen.

"Sure brother, I understand!" xi Mei smiled.

They both smiled and sped up the pace of the horse they were riding, Chen was indeed quite an expert on horseback so he had nothing to fear if his horse was speeding.

"Sister, go even faster! I don't want to miss that competition!" xi Mei.

"What's? It's already the fastest Xi Mei, aren't you afraid?" chen was astonished.

"Of course not, brother. Come even faster, I want to quickly get to the palace!" xi Mei.

"Alright, but you don't let go of your grip!" pinta Chen on Xi Mei.

"Yes sis.." said Xi Mei nodding softly.

Chen sped up the pace of his horse at Xi Mei's request, even though he was hesitant to do so.

Finally they both arrived at the palace courtyard, they got off the horse and tied the horse there before going inside.

"Waw look, brother, it's been so crowded! Mommy must be inside!" xi Mei.

"Yes Xi Mei, let's find a place to watch!" said Chen.

Xi Mei nodded slowly, then followed Chen away looking for the right place so that they could freely watch without having to worry about being caught by Luan and Ryu.

"Well, we'll see from here!" said Chen.

"But brother, here is not very clear to know. I can't see mommy from here, we can find another place!" xi Mei.

"Where else would Xi Mei be? I think only here is the safest. Yes, it looks like the queen Lien from here" Chen said.

"No, less clear. I want to see Mommy more clearly! I also want to watch her worship, because Zheng was following tau!" xi Mei whines.

"Geez Xi Mei, you are like a child!" said Chen.

"Father, the important thing is I want to see mommy!" said Xi Mei pouting.

"Yes, let's move!" said Chen.

Chen pulled back Xi Mei's hand, then took her away from there and looked elsewhere for the girl to stop whining.

Slaassh...

Darts after arrows are continuously launched by the warriors who follow the contest there.

Now that the time had come for Zheng to do so, he pulled his bow and stared straight ahead in order to reach the target he wanted.

Everyone seemed to be underestimating Zheng, as if they were unsure if Zheng was capable of achieving perfect marks this time around.

Zheng took a breath for a moment, then began to release his arrows hurtling towards the direction he had been targeting.

Slaassh...

Unexpectedly, the arrow managed to stick right in the middle of the target in just one push.

Everyone there started cheering for Zheng, they didn't expect Zheng to be able to do that.

"Waw, you are such an incredible swordsman Zheng! That's so great!" li Fan praised him.

"Thank you uncle!" zheng said briefly.

"If you were here and saw this Xi Mei, surely you would also be amazed by me!" inner Zheng.

"Alright, for the moment your points are superior to others. If the Bowen warrior fails to reach the number ten, then you can be sure to win this competition!" said Li Fan.

The speech was also followed by applause from the audience present, but the upsetting voices of all the warriors there.

"Now you can wait there again, officer Zheng. And I'll call one more challenger who should be able to reach the top ten, here comes the Bowen warrior!" li Fan said.

Zheng stepped off the stage, smiling at Bowen, whose name was called.

Bowen seemed confident enough to reach the number ten, even though he knew it was not an easy thing to do.

"I should be able to do it! Otherwise, I would lose!" inner Bowen.

Bowen began to pick up his arrows, pulled the bow and then clawed towards the target in front of him with a serious look.

The spectators were silent preparing to witness what would happen this time, they were made to wonder if perhaps Bowen could get a score of ten and the fight would be extended again.

Bowen punched his arrow, so fast and precise hit the target value of ten.

Everyone was surprised again, because this time the score was balanced between Bowen and Zheng.

"Waw is awesome! It's beyond a doubt! With this, Zheng's warrior victory had to be delayed, and the match would proceed to the deciding session, which was a duel between the warrior Zheng against the warrior Bowen!" said Li Fan.

Bowen smiled smirkly staring at Zheng as if spreading a threat, Zheng was not at all daunted as he was confident in his ability to win this competition.

"Sister, I'm suspicious of that one swordsman. I clearly saw the arrow miss, but why was it suddenly on target? It's weird!" xi Mei told Chen.

"Yes right, but maybe it's the wind factor. You don't accuse the non-no so Xi Mei! Let's just watch the match and pray that Zheng can win!" said Chen.

"Yes, I hope there is no cheating in this game!" xi Mei.

Chen nodded slowly and they refocused on watching the contest.

This time the match continued to the duel between Zheng and Bowen, where they each had to have high points by shooting at the targets that had been made.

Zheng being the first to try, he was required to aim the arrows at the target that was on top of the large tree.

With all his might Zheng did, he again managed to get a perfect score from his first try and was greeted with applause by the audience.

When it was Bowen's turn, the young man easily got the number ten and was seen bragging in front of Zheng.

Xi Mei who saw that was increasingly suspicious, she stood up and looked furious at what she had just witnessed.

"Sister, this is really weird! Just look, he easily shot an arrow at the number ten. I'm sure he must have cheated and this is not a sister to Zheng!" growled Xi Mei.

"Hold Xi Mei! Let's sit down and let's enjoy the game!" said Chen.

"But brother, I can't accept that Zheng is being cheated!" xi Mei.

"Calm down! Let's see it further!" pinta Chen tried to calm her sister down.

"Yes, brother" Xi Mei said.

Finally Xi Mei sat there again and watched the second round of the fight, which required Zheng and Bowen to shoot the target in a circle in the middle of the palace pond.

Zheng started again first, he pointed his arrow at the circle. Unfortunately, Zheng failed to reach the perfect number and only got an eight.

However, Bowen was again easy enough to score ten and was met with cheers from the audience there.

The third round began, Zheng only got seven and he was quite sorry for failing this round.

While Bowen for the third time in a row managed to reach the number ten and of course with this the acquisition of value they began to move away.

In the fourth and fifth rounds, aka the last two rounds. They both shot arrows simultaneously towards the target located above the palace.

Zheng only got a total score of fifteen from eight and seven, while Bowen got nineteen from the results of ten and nine.

"Yes, that's the final battle of these two great warriors!" said Li Fan.

"We already know and managed to get who the winner of the competition this time!" continued.

Cheers and applause continued to be given by the audience to the swordsman Bowen.

Zheng also looked glum, lowered his head and continued to grieve over his failure.

"Come to the swordsman Bowen! We need to reward you because you have won this competition!" li Fan called Bowen.

"All right!" bowen said briefly.

Bowen smiled, taking a quick glance at Zheng accompanied by his cynical grin.

The man stepped forward onto the stage and stood beside Li Fan.

"Hahaha, I can finally win this competition. Soon I will be able to infiltrate the palace and reclaim this palace from Xavier!" his inner.

Slaassh...

Suddenly an arrow shot out and almost hit Bowen, everyone panicked when the arrow was shot.

"What the fuck?!" bowen was surprised.

All eyes were on the palace walls, a woman was standing there wearing red clothes and her face was covered by a veil.

"Who are you?" li Fan asked the woman.
