The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

Su Yuanyuan reached out to stop him from saying what he was about to say, took the bow and arrow from his hand, and deftly nocked the arrow.

Without aiming, she fired three arrows in quick succession, all hitting the bullseye. She then threw the bow and arrows back into Liang Shanbo's arms.

"Is it okay?"

Liang Shanbo nodded awkwardly, then left with his bow and arrows.

It wasn't that she didn't want to save face for Liang Shanbo; it was just that he was cowardly yet arrogant, and couldn't see the bigger picture.

After Liang Shanbo left, Gou Jubo clapped his hands and walked over.

"Brother Zhu, your skills are truly impressive. Would you like to have a match?"

Su Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow, "How can a competition be complete without a prize?"

"Oh? What kind of prize does Brother Zhu want?"

Gou Jubo immediately became interested, and everyone around him looked over as well.

Su Yuanyuan glanced at the two large water vats at the entrance of the training ground; she thought they were empty when she arrived.

"See those two tanks? The loser is responsible for filling them up."

Gou Jubo glanced over there, assessed the size of the two vats, and nodded to her.

"Okay! What if we win?"

Seeing that there was something to see, the others put down their bows and arrows and gathered around.

“We won…” Su Yuanyuan glanced at Gou Jubo, thinking that this man might join the army in the future.

"If I win, you will have to follow me and become my subordinate."

Gou Jubo hesitated for a moment, "You want to join the army?"

"Never mind that, just tell me if you agree or not?"

He gritted his teeth and nodded, "No problem, but if I win, you have to grant me one request."

Su Yuanyuan looked at him, "What are the conditions?"

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

Gou Jubo quickly explained that he just couldn't think of anything he wanted and said it offhand, so as not to be misunderstood.

"can."

Su Yuanyuan stared at him for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yingtai glanced over and saw Su Yuanyuan in the crowd. Thinking something had happened, she quickly ran over.

"Xiao Shi, what's wrong?"

Ma Wencai came over with her, raised an eyebrow and looked around, and everyone around quieted down.

“It’s alright. I’ll have an archery contest with Brother Gou. Whoever loses will fill those two jars with water.”

Su Yuanyuan pointed to the large vat at the door, and Zhu Yingtai breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't worried at all about the martial arts competition.

Gou Jubo looked at Ma Wencai with a smile, "Brother Ma is here too, why don't you be the referee?"

Ma Wencai raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Yuanyuan with a smile, "What does Brother Zhu think?"

"Oh, of course, no problem."

"That's good. Each person has ten arrows, and the person who hits the bullseye the most times wins."

Ma Wencai put away his fan, walked slowly behind them, counted out twenty arrows, and placed them separately beside them.

They stood on either side, drawing their bows together. Compared to Su Yuanyuan's casualness, Gou Jubo was much more serious.

He focused all his attention on the arrow, then suddenly released it, sending it flying straight into the bullseye.

"it is good!"

"Brother Gou, that arrow was really accurate."

The surrounding students clapped and cheered, as if they were watching a monkey show.

"Shut up!"

Ma Wencai frowned, gave a soft shout, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Su Yuanyuan gave him an approving glance; the son of the prefect still carried weight in his words.

She refocused her gaze on the target, and with a light touch, the arrow shot even faster than Gou Jubo's, the arrowhead completely disappearing into the bullseye.

Su Yuanyuan heard gasps coming from all around her, so she picked up the second arrow and nocked it.

He took a quick aim and then let go, just like the first one, the entire arrowhead went into the bullseye.

The same thing happened with the next few arrows. It wasn't until Su Yuanyuan had shot all ten arrows that quiet murmurs arose around her.

"You held back when you sparred with me?"

Ma Wencai suddenly spoke up, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Su Yuanyuan glanced at him sideways, "You think I held back?"

She held back; if it weren't for Zhu Yingtai, she would have crippled him.

Ma Wencai remembered the competition earlier and stopped talking, although his expression was still very unpleasant.

"I lost. I will follow you from now on."

Gou Jubo looked at the targets on both sides. He was clearly exhausted after his next few arrows, and the last arrow even missed the target.

Looking at Su Yuanyuan's arrows, none of them hit the bullseye; they formed a small circle, with roughly the same distance between each arrow.

As expected, there are always people more capable than you, and he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.

Su Yuanyuan laughed and patted his shoulder, realizing that she now had someone to submit to.

"Don't worry, follow me. I won't let you suffer any losses."

Zhu Yingtai finally realized what was happening. She grabbed Su Yuanyuan and ran out of the crowd, reaching out to stop Ma Wencai and the others from following.

"Xiao Shi, do you know what you're doing? You're a girl, how can you have subordinates? Do you want to join the army?"

Su Yuanyuan shrugged. "Why not?"

Zhu Yingtai was furious; she patted Su Yuanyuan's arm.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think your parents would agree to this? That's a military camp, not an academy. You'll definitely be exposed there, and then it won't be a death sentence that can be forgiven."

"Hey! Don't worry, I don't have that idea yet."

Su Yuanyuan put her arm around Zhu Yingtai's shoulder and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath, lest she get seriously ill from anger.

"Then you'll make Gou Jubo your subordinate?"

Zhu Yingtai wouldn't be fooled by her. This matter could be big or small, depending on what Su Yuanyuan really thought.

Su Yuanyuan scratched her cheek. Zhu Yingtai is not so easy to fool now.

"It was just something I said casually when I was thinking of a lucky draw, who knew he would take it seriously."

"Really?"

Zhu Yingtai looked at her with suspicion, mainly because her younger sister had too many criminal records, making her wary.

"Of course, even if it weren't for myself, I wouldn't be so unreliable if it were for you guys."

Su Yuanyuan spoke with absolute certainty, and Zhu Yingtai breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest, thinking that what she said must be true; Su Yuanyuan couldn't possibly take her whole family to their deaths.

"You better behave yourself from now on and stop competing with others. I can't stand it anymore if you do it a few more times."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Su Yuanyuan readily agreed and pushed her back. Most of the others dispersed, except for Ma Wencai and Gou Jubo, who remained waiting in the same spot.

"Master."

Su Yuanyuan stopped Gou Jubo, "From now on, just call me Brother Jingxian. You're not a servant."

“Okay, Brother Jingxian, you can just call me Gou Jubo.”

Gou Jubo smiled with an honest and simple expression. Su Yuanyuan looked away, but her conscience still ached a little.

[Oh! Is that so?]

"...Can you please stop trying to get attention all the time?"

I just couldn't stand it anymore.

You can close your eyes!

【...You're so annoying!】

【Thanks! 】

【…】

After the system was activated, Su Yuanyuan was happy and her conscience no longer ached.

"Uncle Gou, remember to fill the water tank."

"okay!"

After saying that, she ran off to fetch water, and Zhu Yingtai nudged her arm.

"Don't go too far."

"What? Ninth Brother, what are you talking about?"

Su Yuanyuan looked at her with a surprised expression, as if she had said something heinous.

Ma Wencai coughed lightly and quickly turned his head away.

Su Yuanyuan glared at him, only to see the back of his head.
