"Miss!" Yu Shu felt warm in her heart and tears rolled down her cheeks.

When Ye Qianyao saw Ye Yunzi appear, a smug smile appeared on her lips.

She showed up as expected.

Ye Yunzi's face was gloomy. She walked to the front of the crowd and said sternly, "Put her down!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her. Baili Yue also put away his bow and looked at the person who interrupted the archery game.

Ye Yunzi was wearing plain clothes, with her hair tied up casually. She looked calm, but she exuded an aura of inviolability. Her eyes were full of anger, and she was rarely angry.

Ye Qianyao walked forward slowly, "Sister, why are you here too?"

"Ye Qianyao." Ye Yunzi's face was as cold as ice, and her voice was low, "I want to take my maid away."

"That won't do, big sister." Ye Qianyao said slowly, "We are having an archery competition. Whoever can shoot the apples on the maids' heads will win." She raised the corners of her mouth and chuckled, "Your maid came here voluntarily, so I let her be the target... Big sister, this is just a game, you won't be angry, right?"

Ye Yunzi clenched her fists, her hands trembling slightly. She tried her best to restrain herself and not punch Ye Qianyao in the face.

Not far away, Baili Yue narrowed her eyes, a look of displeasure on her face. She was having fun, but was interrupted.

She said coldly: "Go on!"

"Wait!" Ye Yunzi stopped him again, pointing at the tied Yu Shu, "I want to take her away."

Ye Qianyao and Su Yu were delighted to see this scene. Going against Princess Thirteen was simply courting death. Now Ye Yunzi was walking into the trap.

Seeing this, Yu Shu shook her head desperately, "Miss, leave me alone, just go!"

She was worried that the young lady would offend a group of people because of this, and she didn't want to put the young lady in trouble because of herself. She was just an insignificant maid, not worth the young lady's risk.

"Yu Shu."

Ye Yunzi's eyes were firm and her tone was calm: "I won't let anything happen to you."

These short words are more important than any oath. With these words, it seems that everything has a basis.

Baili Yue frowned, her irritability worsened, and she asked coldly, "Who are you to interrupt our archery competition? You are just a maid, it doesn't matter if you die. At most, I will compensate you with ten."

Su Yu was afraid that Baili Yue would not remember her, so she quickly reminded him, "That's the eldest lady of the Ye Mansion."

This grudge must be remembered. As long as the princess remembers Ye Yunzi, she will suffer in the future.

Ye Yunzi's face was cold. A mere maid? No, Yu Shu was not only her servant, she was loyal and would rather sacrifice herself to protect her. This was irreplaceable in Ye Yunzi's heart. She was more like a family member, a sister-like existence.

Ye Yunzi walked forward and picked up a bow.

"I want to participate in this competition too."

Yu Shu was deeply moved when she heard this. The young lady would do so much for her. How could a maid deserve to meet such a loyal and righteous master?

Ye Qianyao tried to stop him: "But sister, the game has already started, you join now..."

Ye Yunzi drew the bow and the arrow pointed directly at Ye Qianyao.

Her face was calm, and her dark eyes were unfathomable, which made people shudder.

Ye Qianyao stopped talking abruptly and took a half step back in fear, "What are you doing?"

Whoosh! The arrow flew out at an astonishing speed.

It inserted precisely at Ye Qianyao's feet, just a little bit away from hitting her.

Ye Qianyao was so frightened that her legs went limp and she collapsed on the ground, "No... don't do this..."

Everyone gasped, looking at Ye Yunzi's expressionless face, and they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. Is she crazy? How dare she shoot at the Third Miss?

Baili Yue stared at Ye Yunzi with admiration in her eyes. She was different from those delicate young ladies. She exuded a sharp aura. This feeling had only been felt from her royal brother.

Ye Yunzi put the arrow on the string again, "I think my archery skills are pretty good, and I want to join this competition. If I can't join in the middle, then..."

She narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice, "How about you just give me your place in the competition?"

As he spoke, the bow and arrow slowly moved towards Ye Qianyao's forehead and finally stopped at her heart.

Ye Qianyao was shaking all over, she was almost crazy. Ye Yunzi's voice was like a cold wind blowing from hell. If she didn't obey her, she would really shoot her with an arrow.

"Let her participate." Baili Yue said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunzi glanced at Baili Yue and put away her bow and arrow.

The archery competition resumed. Ye Yunzi walked to the wooden stake and stood still. She looked at Yu Shu who was not far away and whispered to comfort him: "Yu Shu, don't be nervous."

Yu Shu nodded vigorously. With the young lady by her side, she was not afraid of anything. Even if the sky fell, she could face it with a smile.

"Get ready, the archery competition begins. The target is the apple on your head. If you hit it, you win!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Yunzi pulled the bowstring without saying a word. With a whoosh, the arrow cut through the air and hit the apple on Yu Shu's head, piercing the apple instantly.

Yu Shu didn't even blink, her face was calm and fearless.

There were bursts of wailing coming from the side. Someone was unfortunately shot by an arrow, and his arms and thighs were covered in blood. The maids were so scared that their faces turned pale. Those who were shot by arrows groaned in pain, and those who were not shot were shaking like sieves.

Baili Yue was not vague either. He shot an arrow through the apple's heart and it fell to the ground. His archery skills were so skillful that it was amazing.

"Those who didn't hit the target, please retreat."

At the competition venue, half of the contestants left in disgrace, while the rest continued to compete. This time, the target above their heads was replaced with a wild pear half the size of a palm, which was smaller than the previous apple, and the difficulty was upgraded.

Ye Yunzi remained calm and composed, neither anxious nor impatient.

She bent the bow and drew the arrow again, and in one go, the arrow pierced the wild pear tree and fell steadily to the ground.

"Wow!" The crowd cheered. Although she was a woman, Ye Yunzi's smooth movements and accurate archery were really eye-catching and handsome.

"Ye Yunzi!" Ye Qianyao's eyes widened as she looked at Ye Yunzi in surprise. When did she learn this skill? How did she become so powerful?

At the hunting ground, a group of girls' archery competition attracted a large number of spectators. The Fourth Prince, who happened to be passing by, also stopped and looked at it curiously. "What's going on? Why is it so lively?"

"The ladies are having an archery competition." The guard replied respectfully.

"Oh?" The Fourth Prince became interested.

"The Thirteenth Princess is also inside." The guard added softly.

"Yue'er?" Baili Ye looked surprised. This sister usually had no patience for music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but had a special liking for swords and spears. She challenged him to a duel from time to time, and now she was playing archery?

He shook his head and strode towards the arena.

After a new round of archery, the fruit on the head became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into an inconspicuous sour date. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't even find it.

Baili Yue turned her head and glanced at Ye Yunzi, secretly gritting her teeth: "Your archery skills are really good, but compared to me, you are still a little behind."
