Chapter 171: 127 Phoenix Falls, Hidden Dragon

Rises 2

He began to shoot his arrows.

The archery style he used was also the continuous arrow launch technique.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, three arrows were unleashed at once.

As soon as Wang Shouzhe shot his arrows, Liu Ruolei’s side immediately applauded and cheered.

No matter the result, at least their brother-in-law’s posture looked much better than Liu Yuanshan’s.

The main reason was his attractive looks, any pose he struck looked good.

As for his archery skills, she didn’t care. After all, her brother-in-law was the clan leader and others would naturally take the lead in hunting.

“Chunk! Chunk! Chunk!”

Three arrows, released almost simultaneously, were embedded in the tree, the arrow shaft buried more than halfway in.

The crowd all looked startled.

No way!

Brother-in-law can’t even shoot a single Copper Coin?

Even though nobody had much hope for his archery skills, isn’t it a bit shocking for a clan leader with a direct lineage to have such mediocre skills?

Suddenly.

“Ting, ting, ting!”

With three crisp sounds, three Copper Coins fell almost simultaneously onto the bluestone ground, creating a series of clear sounds.

What happened? What’s going on? The young uncles and aunts were all astonished.

Only Liu Yuanshan’s eyes widened, looking at the scene in surprise.

After several moments, he bowed to Wang Shouzhe with a bitter smile: “Brother-in-law, I admit defeat. There truly are better skills beyond my own.”

Chen Fangjie, who was standing by and watching the excitement with a grin on his face, also looked surprised. Wang Shouzhe’s archery skills were too formidable.

With his three arrows, he had managed to cut the silk thread suspending the Copper Coins.

He couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Having never seen him shoot arrows before, he thought Shouzhe’s archery skills were unremarkable.

Wang Shouzhe is truly Wang Shouzhe, he can’t be compared to others.

“Anyway, he’s my own uncle, it’s not so bad even if he is slightly stronger.” Chen Fangjie could only comfort himself in this way.

Following Liu Yuanshan’s explanation by the side, those young uncles and aunts who didn’t understand finally realized that Shouzhe’s archery skills were so sophisticated.

“Brother-in-law is really something, he’s a master archer.” Liu Ruolei cheered happily, causing Liu Yuanrui to look amused and exasperated.

You, laughing away happily after I’ve lost in such a miserable manner for the sake of my sister.

Isn’t this just being biased toward outsiders over one’s own family? It’s really a case of girls not being sentimental once grown up.

Wait, not sentimental?

Younger sister, you must not entertain any inappropriate thoughts. Your brother-in-law is your brother-in-law

Meanwhile.

After this scene ended,

The little maid, Qiao’er, again rushed back to the backyard.

Her beautiful face was filled with excitement as she vividly described Wang Shouzhe’s impressive performance to everyone: “The new young master is too awesome, his archery skills are even better than young master, Yuanhui.” This girl even carelessly compared him with Liu Yuanhui without considering young master’s feelings in the process.

All the women in the room looked surprised, they all knew Wang Shouzhe was smart, but they didn’t expect his martial abilities to be so formidable too.

Even Wang Liuzi was astounded, her nephew truly was full of surprises.

In the eyes of the bride, Liu Ruolan,

There was also a hint of joy and shyness. This engagement was originally decided by the family, and she didn’t have a choice in it. But as she got to know Wang Shouzhe more, she began to develop some affection for him.

Which young woman wouldn’t appreciate having a worthy husband?

Wang Liuzi, sitting at the side, chuckled covering her mouth. She looked a little proud and said, “This time, Yuanrui is in a bind. Ruolan, let’s prepare quickly. My nephew will be coming in to fetch his bride soon.”

Prior to this, many of the Liu clan members were opposing this marriage with lots of rumors being whispered around. As a member of the Wang family, Wang Liuzi, heard many of these rumors and even argued with some people.

But as the Wang family rose in stature, the gossip began to fade. Now that her nephew had shown his might and shocked his Liu clan peers, as an aunt, she was full of pride. From now, she could hold her head high among the Liu clan’s women.

As Wang Shouzhe’s fourth aunt, who would dare to despise her?

“Not at all” Maid Qiao’er pouted and said, “Young master Yuanrui is very cunning. He has prepared three challenges.”

“They have done both tests of archery and strength, what could Yuanrui possibly have up his sleeve?” Wang Liuzi curiously asked.

“This time, young master Yuanrui said he will do it himself.”

“Doing it himself?”

Wang Liuzi was laughing so hard, she was almost crying. She covered her mouth and giggled, “With Yuanrui’s three-legged cat kungfu skills, how can he compete with Shouzhe? Isn’t this masochism?”

All of a sudden.

Wang Liuzi’s laughter halted abruptly.

She realized something was not right and her beautiful face turned stern, “Can it be that Yuanrui wants to have a poetry competition with Shouzhe? This time, Shouzhe is afraid he might be completely defeated.”

Meanwhile, at the courtyard.

Wang Shouzhe also looked surprised at Liu Yuanrui and said, “Yuanrui, what did you say? You want to have a poetry competition with me?”

He expressed his astonishment to this. A literati from a martial world wants to compete in poetry with a transmigrator from Earth?

How…how should he proceed?

“Brother-in-law, I admit your Profound Martial skills are formidable. But as a Profound Martial family, merely inheriting martial force doesn’t cut it. Otherwise, what distinguishes us from fierce beasts from the wilderness? Cultural heritage is also an invaluable treasure for our kind.” Liu Yuanrui said earnestly.

Wang Shouzhe felt an uncanny familiarity with these words. He realized it was what he had said to Wang Licui and Wang Luoqiu to encourage them to read and enrich their cultural knowledge.

“Alright, I must admit your points are valid. Go ahead and set the rules Yuanrui.” Wang Shouzhe said helplessly, “This is the last round right? We have to return to Ping’an today.”
