Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

A moment later, the imperial physician rushed over. After examination and treatment, it was determined that the woman was not seriously injured, but she would need to rest for a period of time to recover.

Once everyone knew the woman was alright, they were relieved and went back to watching the competition.

The students readjusted their mindset, and with the final round of red embroidered balls being thrown, their arrows were all used up, and the ranking results were in.

Pei Wenyu came in first place, hitting all ten arrows without missing a shot. He scored a total of 36 points, including 7 red embroidered balls, 2 orange balls, and 1 yellow ball.

The second place went to He Jinyu, who scored six red balls, three orange balls, and one yellow ball, for a total of thirty-five points.

Lin Zifeng came in third place with six red hydrangea balls, two orange hydrangea balls, and two yellow hydrangea balls, for a total of thirty-four points.

The fourth place went to Wen Yixuan, with six red balls, two orange balls, one yellow ball, and one missed shot, for a total of thirty-two points, placing him fourth.

..............

In almost every exam, the four of them would take the top four spots.

They are also the top four in the first round of written tests. Currently, Pei Wenyu has three points in total, which is the first place, Lin Zifeng has four points, He Jinyu has five points, and Wen Yixuan has eight points.

In previous years, Lin Zifeng always came in first place. This year, Pei Gongzi emerged as a surprise contender, and many people are speculating whether Pei Wenyu will prevail or Lin Zifeng will continue to take the top spot.

Just after the competition ended and the emperor had left, as everyone was leaving, a large group of wild boars suddenly rushed out of the hunting grounds from the path the noble ladies were taking home. These boars charged straight at the group of noble ladies, who were all terrified, pale-faced and bewildered.

This situation was completely unexpected. Upon seeing this, the guards immediately reacted and quickly formed a circle around the noble ladies to protect them.

Chen Xianlin and Wen Nanwan were surrounded. Although Wen Nanwan knew martial arts, it was the first time she had seen such a scene, so she was inevitably a little scared.

At this moment, Chen Xianlin was still thinking, "Why are there so many wild boars all of a sudden? This is the royal hunting ground! Could it be that someone deliberately released them?" The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and her eyes became wary.

Just then, a huge wild boar broke through the guards' defenses and charged at them. Wen Nanwan immediately dodged, terrified. She was unarmed and unable to fight the boar.

Chen Xianlin took the opportunity to observe her surroundings, looking for a chance to escape. Her eyes swept around. Just then, the wild boar that had just broken through the guard line rushed straight at Chen Xianlin. It opened its blood-red mouth, its tusks gleaming coldly, exuding a ferocious aura.

At that critical moment, with a "whoosh," an arrow flew from afar, piercing the wild boar's eye like lightning. The boar cried out in terror; the pain from its recent eye injury had further enraged it, making it even more ferocious.

"Run!" Pei Wenyu shouted, his voice filled with anxiety and tension. That arrow just now was the one he had shot.

Chen Xianlin didn't have time to think much. She knew this wasn't the time to be stunned, so she quickly turned around and fled the scene.

Meanwhile, the guards noticed the situation and rushed over to try and capture the enraged boar. However, the boar seemed to have a built-in GPS, locking onto Chen Xianlin's location and charging straight at her without regard for anything else.

Chen Xianlin's heart leaped into her throat. She could feel the wild boar's ferocious aura, as if death was already creeping close. Without hesitation, she turned and ran, Pei Wenyu close behind. An arrow streaked across the night sky like a meteor, heading straight for the wild boar's eyes.

The wild boar let out a piercing scream, its ferocious eyes filled with pain and rage. It struggled desperately, its body convulsing violently, blood gushing from its eye sockets, staining its already hideous face crimson.

Compared to the perilous situation Chen Xianlin faced, the other noble ladies fared much better; none of them were injured. The wild boars that attacked them were mostly small and therefore posed little threat. In contrast, Chen Xianlin's situation was far more dangerous.

Lin Zifeng and Wen Yixuan were both focused on taking care of their younger sister, while He Jinyu quickly dealt with the wild boar and rushed to support Pei Wenyu.

The wild boar, blinded by arrows, was running around frantically, seemingly searching for something. After circling a few times, it seemed to smell something and charged forward recklessly. Chen Xianlin felt a sense of foreboding: "Am I really going to die here today?"

At that critical moment, a sword light flashed like lightning, piercing straight through the wild boar's neck. Its life force vanished, and it collapsed heavily to the ground.

"Miss Chen, are you alright?" The visitor was Wen Yichuan, who had been ordered by the emperor to assist in the extermination of wild boars. Upon arriving, he witnessed the perilous scene of Chen Xianlin being chased by wild boars.

Chen Xianlin stood there stunned, clearly still reeling from the shock.

Pei Wenyu and He Jinyu arrived at this time, and both of them frowned upon seeing the scene before them. Chen Xianlin was pale with fright and sat there at a loss for what to do.

Pei Wenyu spoke first, asking with concern, "Cousin, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Xianlin finally came to her senses, shook her head, and replied in a slightly trembling voice, "I'm fine, I was just a little frightened."

Wen Yichuan quickly stepped forward to help her up, his eyes filled with worry. He gently patted Chen Xianlin's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's all over now."

At this moment, Wen Nanwan and Wen Yixuan also rushed over. As soon as they saw Chen Xianlin, they immediately inquired about her condition with concern.

Wen Yixuan frowned and asked in confusion, "How could these wild boars suddenly appear? And this is the royal hunting ground. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many wild boars here at this time!"

Wen Yichuan explained from the side, "This matter has already alarmed the Emperor, and he has sent people to investigate. I believe that a satisfactory explanation will be given to everyone soon."

Hearing this, the group felt slightly calmer, but they still couldn't completely shake off their unease. After all, such an accident was far too bizarre and instilled fear in them.

After returning to the Chen residence, Chen Xianlin was filled with resentment. She couldn't understand who would want her dead. First, they arranged for an assassination attempt, and now they orchestrated a wild boar attack. Everything seemed very suspicious to her; after all, she had never made an enemy of anyone. Why would anyone want to kill her?
