Chapter 232 - Fatigue

”Let's go take a look. Where is it?” Her eyes were curved like the stars in the sky.

Xiao Qingqian stared blankly for a moment, and after she urged him again, he finally withdrew his gaze from her face.

Originally, he wanted to hold her hand, but Wei Qing cleverly avoided her hand.

The two of them went into the living room one after the other. Wei Qing saw the crossbow in the hands of the hidden guard at first glance.

She quickly stepped forward and picked it up, looking at it over and over again.

It was exquisite indeed!

Previously, she had only used her dagger to carve out a rough outline. It had yet to be polished and looked very rough.

However, the secret guard was much more exquisite. Not only was the surface polished, it even seemed to be painted with tree paint.

One had to know that in ancient times, there was no paint. Tree paint was an extremely precious rarity.

In addition, there were many exquisite decorative patterns on top of the crossbow. It could even be said to be a work of art.

”Princess, the wood lacquer and the accessories on it are all done according to the prince's wishes.” The guard explained.

Wei Qing's smile froze, and she turned to look at Xiao Qingqian.

She bit her lower lip as an inexplicable emotion surfaced in her heart, ”Have you tried it out before?”

Seeing that she did not say anything, Xiao Qingqian felt a little disappointed, but the reason was, today's bitter fruit, no matter how bad the taste was, he had to force himself to eat it.

The guard felt that the atmosphere was a little strange and quickly said, ”We've tested it.”

”What about it?”

Wei Qing only wanted to know the results of the experiment and whether it could compare to a bow and arrow.

The hidden guard nodded his head and gave the finely crafted arrows and quiver to Wei Qing, ”Princess, you can try it yourself.”

Wei Qing was so excited that her breathing became tight. The guards helped her set up the target, so she easily pulled the string of the crossbow, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

With a ”peng” sound, the arrow brought with it the sound of breaking through the air, and flew towards the target in the distance. However, Wei Qing did not waste any energy.

”Did it hit?” Wei Qing asked excitedly.

The shadow guard was speechless and twitched his mouth. The target wasn't too far away, and none of them had hit the mark!

”Did it hit?” Wei Qing was just about to run up and investigate, but she was stopped by Xiao Qingqian.

”It didn't hit. It hit somewhere else.”

”Huh?” It was hard for her to believe it.

He also had his aim, but how could he miss?

She thought for a moment and then very seriously determined whether or not there was a sight on the crossbow. The result was … there was!

Then it was because her skills were lacking.

If he was unable to help himself with such a divine tool, then what was the point of making it?

Xiao Qingqian took the crossbow from her hand, and took out an arrow from the quiver. He aimed and pulled the trigger.

Wei Qing nervously clenched her hands into fists, and stared at the arrow.

”Hit the heart.” the dark guard shouted from afar.

Wei Qing's face was filled with unwillingness and puzzlement. They were all the same crossbows and the same distance between them, so how did Xiao Qingqian manage to hit it so easily?

The more she didn't understand, the more she wanted to understand.

Hurriedly snatching the crossbow from Xiao Qingqian's hands, she continued to take out more arrows, installing them properly, she was about to pull the trigger, but Xiao Qingqian called out to her.

She looked at him inquiringly. ”What is it?”
