Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble
Chapter 42 1 Wall
When they found that Li Chenyang's arrow was still intact and the bow had been put down, the cheers and applause gradually subsided.
Everyone's puzzled eyes followed Li Chenyang's gaze and fell on Xueyue who was about to sit back on the saddle. That was it, until a terrible incident happened.
One arrow flew straight for her leg, and before she could dodge, another arrow flew for her arm.
Hearing the whiz of an arrow flying towards her, Black Moon panicked and tried to maneuver her body to avoid the arrow and get Snow Moon out of danger. The violent and unexpected movement caused the poor girl to lose her footing. When she dismounted, everyone held their breath, but no one dared to move - except the man who rushed towards her when the first arrow whizzed through the air.
Li Chenyang urged his horse and ran towards Xueyue desperately, but he still failed to arrive in time.
Xue Yue squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself for a painful fall, but it never came.
Instead, her back hit something hard. Startled by the warmth emanating from it, she opened her eyes and found herself facing a pair of eyes as dark as midnight.
She was completely stunned by him and could do nothing but stare back at him. He was undoubtedly one of the most handsome men she had ever seen. Seeing her credulous expression, the corners of his mouth curled up into a sly smile.
Dangerous. Alluring. All her sanity left her as she continued to gaze deep into his dark, empty eyes that swallowed up all the light.
"You all right, little one?" His voice was low and husky, but warm and inviting.
“Xueyue!” Li Chenyang jumped off his horse. Without warning, he pulled her away from the man. He pushed her behind him and glared at her savior.
After returning to reality, Xueyue blinked her eyes fiercely. “Brother Chen? What are you doing here?” Her lips were frowned. Why did he participate in the archery competition?
"Jin Kai, I've already warned you once." Li Chenyang's gloomy voice surprised Xueyue.
'Was he warned once? When? Did Chen Ge know this person? She asked herself. Her eyes widened, "Wait." Did he just say Jin Kai? Like... Wen Jin Kai, the commander she met two years ago? ! "
Xueyue was curious about his current condition and peeked out from behind Li Chenyang. He looked very healthy.
Her voice caught in her throat as she studied him closely. His brooding eyes promised a night of sin, enhanced perfectly by his sharp jawline and broad nose. There was an air of mystery about him. His sly smirk made him seem too mysterious, too much for her.
When his eyes met hers, she nodded, her eyes widening unconsciously with curiosity.
There was a hint of amusement in Wen Jinkai's eyes.
Li Chenyang frowned, "Are you listening to me?"
"So what if you warned me once?" he replied.
Xueyue swallowed. What betrayed his terrifying aura was the smooth, velvety voice that pulled her closer.
Chen Yang blinked after hearing his words, and his confusion turned into displeasure. "You bastard--"
"Brother Chen, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the tent or watching from the sidelines?" She interrupted him, trying to change the subject.
Last time she checked with the Duchess, neither of the twins had ever taken up archery. Neither of them was fond of the sport.
Li Chenyang sensed the displeasure in her tone and turned to face her. "It's not important now—"
"Are you trying to sabotage me?" She frowned, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.
Li Chenyang was startled by her fierce expression. When did she learn to glare? Although he was cold and nagging, he had never seen fire and anger flashing in her eyes.
"I would never try to sabotage you—"
"So, you didn't mean to make me lose this game and embarrass me? You also didn't want to ruin my chances of entering society and stop my suitors from pursuing me. You wouldn't do that to me, would you?"
No wonder the twins looked so suspicious, they were planning on making her lose from the beginning!
Li Chenyang's silence and sullen expression were enough to let Xueyue know that she was right.
Her frown deepened.
Suddenly, the sound of drums broke the tense atmosphere. The loud noise attracted the attention of the eunuch standing on a tall pedestal. He looked up from his unwoven scroll: "After counting the arrows, Li Xueyue won this year's archery competition!" He announced loudly to the people.
Not wanting to implicate the Li family, everyone cheered for Xueyue. Regardless of her identity, this girl Xueyue's name had the name Li attached to it!
Li Chenyang was glad to be distracted. He glanced at Xueyue's expression and was surprised to find that the fire in her eyes had gone out. Strangely, her face was extremely pale.
"Xueyue, what's wrong——"
"They heard him..." she whispered, suddenly stepping back.
"Who heard his voice?" Li Chenyang frowned and asked in confusion.
"I want to go back to the tent—"
"Li Xueyue, please step forward and accept the title of first place winner of today's archery competition awarded by the Emperor and the Empress personally!" the eunuch continued, his eyes falling on the girl surrounded by two handsome men.
Li Chenyang frowned as he watched her face become paler and even a little ghostly. He looked closely and found that cold sweat was coming out of her forehead.
Xueyue turned her head to look at Chenyang, her eyes suddenly widened with fear.
"Xueyue——" Before Li Chenyang could say anything, Xueyue had already left the ring. She didn't look at where she was going, and suddenly bumped into something hard.
'Damn it!' she cursed in her mind. 'Why is there a wall here -'
"Are you ok?"
For the third time, Xueyue looked into the eyes of the man who saved her. Wasn't this the man who had spoken so boldly to the emperor just now?
"I'm fine..." She trailed off as she realized how many people were staring at her.
She swallowed hard. They were all waiting for her to come forward to accept the award. Xueyue knew that running away and delaying acceptance would only cause more chaos.
"Xueyue, come with me. I'll take you to the podium. You don't have to be afraid of the crowd." Li Chenyang noticed that her eyes were full of fear when she looked at the crowd, and said.
"Let's go, don't delay the start of the next game. It's okay, I'm here with you." He added, not noticing the pain in her eyes.
The reason why she didn't want to go to the podium was clear. Because the table was right in front of the emperor and empress, who were sitting on a huge high platform for people to watch, so everyone could clearly see Xue Yue...
