Daily life in the academy
Chapter 20 Horseback Archery Test and Bet
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and couldn't help but sneer: "Maybe it's just that your IQ is not high enough."
"Brother Yan, he...he also scolded me!" When Mu Bailian heard Bai Zhi's words, he immediately jumped up anxiously and tried to pull Yan Qingchen who was sitting in front of him.
Wenzhe was frightened by his actions and silently distanced himself from the fool beside him.
Yan Qingchen glanced lazily at Bai Zhi and then looked away. He slapped Mu Bailian's hand away and said disdainfully, "If you keep grumbling, and Old Man Xie sees you later, I won't save you."
Hearing the three words "Old Man Xie", Mu Bai deflated and sat back unwillingly, not forgetting to glare at Bai Zhi.
Yan Qingchen's attention was on the book in front of her at this time, and she didn't pay attention to Bai Zhi, so she boldly stuck out her tongue and made a face at Mu Bailian.
Wenzhe was stunned when he saw this scene. He obviously didn't expect that she had such courage and such a...lively side. His usually gloomy face actually showed a normal smile.
Mu Bailian, the main character, instantly flew into a rage and stood up to start a verbal fight with Bai Zhi. Unexpectedly, Xie Guan walked in and saw him, jumped up, frowned, and cursed, "Mu Bailian, do you have fleas? Why are you jumping up and down with your teeth bared? If you can't sit still, go out and stand. I'm going to visit General Mu and ask if his son has some incurable disease that prevents him from even sitting still."
Mu Bailian made a bitter face and said cautiously, "Master, I'll sit still. Can you please not go looking for my father?"
Xie Guan: "That depends on the results of your class test this time."
Bai Zhi turned her head away and looked at Mu Bailian with a smug look on her face. Who told him to deliberately make her hate Zhang Yongan that time? This time he was just taking revenge, but when Mu Bailian turned around, he saw her smug face and grinned again. Xie Guan on the stage thought that he was dissatisfied with what he said and became angry.
"Mu Bailian, you haven't learned much, but you've learned to disrespect your teachers? Who are you showing this face to? Get out of here and stand still."
Mu Bailian was simply speechless and said angrily: "Master Xie, it's not me, it's..."
Xie Guan interrupted him with a flick of his sleeve: "Do you need me to use a ruler to ask you to leave?"
Mu Bailian was humiliated, and Bai Zhi felt very relieved. She smiled secretly, but suddenly she felt a gaze on her. She turned around and saw Yan Qingchen's pair of black pearl-like eyes flashing with cold light. The chill continued to seep out. She withdrew her gaze instantly, and the corners of her mouth that were originally raised drooped down.
Bai Zhi spent the entire morning class in anxiety. She originally thought that Yan Qingchen would come over to trouble her as soon as the get out of class was over, but the other party didn't even look at her and went out with Wenzhe to comfort Mu Bailian.
I don’t know what the three people said, but Mu Bailian was persuaded to leave by them, but he looked quite unwilling.
In the afternoon, there is a horse-riding and archery test, which is divided into two parts: horse-riding skills and fixed-point archery.
These two subjects were a weakness for Bai Zhi and Ye Yanliang. Ye Yanliang could only barely mount a horse, while Bai Zhi didn't even dare to mount a horse and simply gave up the exam. In terms of archery, seven out of ten arrows missed the target, and the remaining three arrows were only shot outside the third ring.
Bai Zhi lowered her head in shame as Fu Lang kept clicking his tongue and shaking his head.
Mu Bailian was upset by Bai Zhi in the morning, so after completing the cycling and archery tests with ease, he kept his attention on Bai Zhi. Finally, he saw her frustrated look, and felt relieved.
He nudged Yan Qingchen with his elbow and said proudly, "Brother Yan, look at that little dwarf Bai Zhi. He's so useless. His two thin arms can't even pull an arrow."
Yan Qingchen played with the bow in his hand and said indifferently, "Don't you think you pay too much attention to being Bai Zhi?"
Mu Bailian tilted his head and asked instead of answering, "Is there?"
Wenzhe nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes."
"Huh? I just think he's quite..."
Before Mu Bailian could finish his words, Xiao Qingyu, who had just finished the test, came over with his arrogant steps, raised his chin and said:
"Yan Qingchen, you haven't forgotten the bet between us, right?"
Yan Qingchen curled his lips in a cold smile, not even bothering to look up at Xiao Qingyu: "This prince has already reserved the best viewing seats at Xiyun Tower, and is just waiting to see you shouting your declaration while running from the East Market to the West Market."
Mu Bailian quickly interrupted, "Brother Yan, you've already reserved a seat? When did it happen? How come I didn't know?"
Wenzhe pulled him back and whispered in his ear, "Just shut up and don't embarrass yourself."
Mu Bailian reacted instantly and pretended that Wen Zhe was telling him when Brother Yan booked the restaurant, nodding in agreement from time to time.
Seeing that none of them took him seriously, Xiao Qingyu swung his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Don't be too proud too soon, we'll see later."
Yan Qingchen continued to wipe the bow in his hand, as if he didn't hear it. Even though Xiao Qingyu deliberately increased his pace and left, he couldn't move his eyes away from the bow in his hand.
It was not until Mu Bailian said, "Brother Yan, stop pretending," and he left that Yan Qingchen threw the bow to his servant with a very natural movement.
The horseback archery test ended at 3:00 PM, and everyone was free to move around.
The competition between Yan Qingchen and Xiao Qingyu was scheduled to take place between the back of the academy and Lishan. There was a large area in between, enough for them to compete. The starting point and the end point were marked. Whoever could first retrieve the red ribbon that had been placed at the end point inside Lishan would be the winner.
People in the academy had already heard that there would be a competition between Yan Qingchen and Xiao Qingyu today. Circles of people surrounded the outside of the competition venue, and some people even secretly opened a betting game to bet on who would win today. Bai Zhi and Ye Yanliang happened to be standing next to these gentlemen.
One of them asked Bai Zhi, "Brother, would you like to place a bet? If you bet on the Crown Prince, you'll get 3 to 1, and if you bet on Young Master Xiao, you'll get 10 to 1."
The contrast between 3 to 1 and 10 to 1 is very obvious. Obviously, everyone believes that Yan Qingchen will win this time.
Wait...Bai Zhi suddenly remembered the plot about this in the original book.
This is a conspiracy against Yan Qingchen!
It was precisely because of this incident that Yan Qingchen's temper became increasingly violent. In his subsequent appearances, he was either beating people or targeting the male protagonist, as if this incident was deliberately intended to provoke Yan Qingchen and make his temper become extremely bad, and then become a major stumbling block to the male protagonist's career.
In the original book, there was also someone who opened the betting, but because of Yan Qingchen's accident, everyone lost everything. When the students wanted to get their gambling money back, they found out that the people who instigated the betting were not students of Yunlu Academy at all. They didn't know how they got to know about this, pretended to be students, made a lot of money and ran away. Because this was strictly prohibited by the academy, the students could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
