Transmigration begins with archery training

Sun Xiangzong sighed and asked, "Have you investigated Gu Xinlan?"

"We've investigated, but we haven't figured it out yet."

Fang Qingyun said, "What's certain is that she's definitely not the descendant of a criminal. If she really is related to the major case in the capital many years ago, she might actually be more prestigious than my junior sister in terms of status, and she'd definitely be qualified to be the principal wife..."

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

Sun Xiangzong said, "I only have one daughter, but many people insist on recognizing me as their only daughter!"

"The most important thing in this matter is still what my junior sister herself wants to do."

"Then what did she say?"

“I asked her indirectly, and she didn’t seem to mind. Plus, she often goes to my brother’s house and doesn’t even mind taking care of his child…”

"You are unfilial! None of my children or apprentices are filial, and you are no exception!"

"I?"

Fang Qingyun objected: "Master, please don't curse people like that."

"Don't talk yet."

Sun Xiangzong's expression tightened, and he hurriedly lifted the rod, only to pull up a clump of water plants, which made him even more annoyed than before.

“It’s all your fault!

"And that kid surnamed Chen, he was so noisy, he scared all my fish away!"

"Fourth brother, if you don't find me a better spot to catch some fish today, I... Fourth brother, where do you think you're going to run to!"

"Squeak, squeak."

Fang Qingyun pushed his wheelchair very fast and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

……

"Greetings, senior brothers and sisters!"

Inside the side room of the Angelica Courtyard, a full table of food and drink had already been prepared.

Second Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, and Ninth Senior Sister were all present.

"Oh, my little junior brother, I've missed you so much!"

Rong Yanqiu rushed over and hugged him affectionately.

"Sister..."

Chen Sanshi couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to. He was forced to sit down next to her, get to know each of his fellow disciples, and then each of them offered him a toast.

"Okay~"

Rong Yanqiu wrapped her arms around Chen Sanshi's neck: "You guys are the senior brothers, why don't you hurry up and bring out your greeting gifts? Second brother, you start!"

"Haha~"

The plump-looking second senior brother stepped forward and took out a silver note from his pocket: "I've thought about it for a long time and I don't know what to give you. In the end, I think silver is the most practical gift."

"Only five hundred taels? Second brother, can't you be any stingier?!"

Meng Guangxin cursed, "Besides, your gift of silver is too vulgar. My gift is much more meaningful."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden fish from beside his seat.

"Junior brother, this is a wooden fish that I made myself. Striking it once will accumulate a little merit!"

Chen Sanshi did not refuse: "Thank you both, senior brothers. It would be impolite to refuse. I will accept it."

"You two, can't you bring something useful?"

Rong Yanqiu rolled her eyes at them, got up and went to the next room to get a set of armor. Judging from the style, it was also chainmail, but the color was darker, almost black, and the material was obviously different.

"Armor forged from black iron."

Second Senior Brother Cheng Wei clicked his tongue and said, "Ninth Junior Sister, this must be several thousand taels of silver, right?"

"Who's as stingy as you guys?"

Rong Yanqiu looked over: "Junior brother, do you like it?"

"Seventh Brother, what about you?"

Meng Guangxin shouted, "You haven't uttered a single word yet. Don't tell me you haven't prepared anything."

Ye Fengxiu frowned slightly, but ignored it. He just glanced at the corner of the wall, where there was a long, narrow object wrapped in coarse cloth.

"what."

Meng Guangxin ran over, picked it up, and after tearing off the cloth strip, a brand-new silver spear came into view.

This spear is over ten feet long, with a spearhead that is one foot and three inches long and a point that is three inches long. It is made of fine steel, black iron, and gold, and you can feel its extreme sharpness just by looking at it.

"That must cost seven or eight thousand taels of silver, right?"

Ye Fengxiu snatched it and threw it to his junior brother: "Try it and see if it's easy to handle. There was too much time to order a custom one. I bought it from a master gunsmith. It's called the 'Five Tigers Soul-Severing Spear'."

"Thank you so much for the gifts, fellow disciples! I am deeply grateful!"

Chen Sanshi thanked him again.

"Where are the eldest and third brothers?"

Second Senior Brother Cheng Wei spoke up: "Aren't they coming?"

Meng Guangxin scoffed, "Fine, don't come then. Who wants to see him? Just looking at him annoys me."

"Fifth brother, I am still your senior brother."

A powerful voice rang out.

A figure as large as a mountain appeared.

Because of his extremely tall stature, Lü Ji had to squeeze into the room almost sideways.

Behind him was a person he had never seen before.

It should be the third senior brother.

"Eldest brother, third brother."

Chen Sanshi stood up and greeted him.

"Junior brother, the gathering was rushed, and your senior brother didn't have time to prepare anything."

Lü Ji took down the box from behind him.

The box was enormous, but it appeared exceptionally delicate in comparison to his size.

Inside, there was a large bow.

However, the bow frame was not made of wood, but of iron, and it was made of black iron, which was quite valuable.

"I heard that my junior brother likes archery, so I got him an iron-rimmed bow."

Lu Ji apologized, "However, due to the short time, I was unable to obtain a bowstring. If a suitable bowstring is found, this bow will be a 100-stone bow. I hope my junior brother will not find it offensive."

"I got some arrows."

Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan took out a quiver: "The arrowheads are made of black iron, which is a bit shabby. If there's anything you want, Junior Brother, just tell me and I'll get it for you."

"You two senior brothers are too kind. These are such valuable items, how could I, your junior brother, not know what's good for me?"

Chen Sanshi maintained impeccable manners and invited them to take their seats.

"That's pretty much it!"

Meng Guangxin said with satisfaction, "Boss, you've become more and more outrageous these past few years."

The seventh brother, Ye Fengxiu, remained silent.

"Hey, monk, how dare you speak to your senior brother like that?"

Rong Yanqiu said sarcastically, "Our boss has been to the capital before, maybe he's latched onto some powerful figure, and he's the only one among us to be granted a marquisate, his status is quite noble~"

Over the years, the imperial court has only granted a handful of marquises.

One of them was Marquis Wuding, Lü Ji.

"Hey! Who else could it be but the Cao family's big shot?"

Meng Guangxin echoed her, saying, "Maybe they've already sold the ditch to the Cao family, otherwise they wouldn't be willing to grant him a marquisate?"

"Fifth and Ninth Brothers!"

Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan said sternly, "Eldest Senior Brother has his reasons, you..."

"The reason?"

Rong Yanqiu interrupted, "What difficulties could he possibly have? Why does he want to take over the position sooner?"

Meng Guangxin cursed and said, "That's right, if the fourth brother hadn't been crippled, you wouldn't have the chance to swagger around here every day!"

Let them talk back and forth, Lü Ji didn't say a word in response. He just picked up the wine jar he had brought and filled the cups in front of him one by one.

"OK OK."

The second brother, Cheng Wei, stepped in to smooth things over: "It's rare for everyone to get together, what's there to argue about? Senior Brother didn't do these things secretly, and Master didn't say anything."
