Although the Young Marquis was blind, he did have pretty good martial arts skills, and his sound localization ability wasn’t just a baseless rumor. The Young Marquis was actually capable of sound localization. From the looks of it, these people seemed to treat the Young Marquis very well and take extra care to attend to his needs, so the bodyguards guessed they could trust that these people wouldn’t allow the Young Marquis to suffer so much as a little bump.

But they had miscalculated human nature.

…

When the Young Marquis accurately shot a rabbit, the crowd cheered loudly in unison.

Tan Weizhi’s expression turned dark upon hearing the crowd’s cheers. But when he thought about what he planned to do next, he felt better again.

“There’s a deer over there!” Tan Weizhi whispered.

“Where? Where?” the others hurriedly asked, but also in a whisper, for fear of scaring away the deer that Tan Weizhi was talking about.

“Over there! Look, it just sprang into that bush. Let’s go after it.” Tan Weizhi pointed to a bush not far ahead and said, “You all have to hurry and go and chase the deer out here so that the Young Marquis can show off his skills. Tonight, we can drink the blood of the deer!” Tan Weizhi’s low and soft voice was filled with excitement.

Such words obviously encouraged the crowd. Everyone stooped over and soundlessly inched toward the bush. Only Tan Weizhi and Xiao Anning were left standing there.

“Young Marquis, move a little over here,” Tan Weizhi said to Xiao Anning in a voice that was only audible to him and Xiao Anning. Then he reminded the Young Marquis, “Watch your step. Move a little more to this side. When they chase it out, it’ll be better to shoot it from here.”

Xiao Anning had barely taken a step when he felt something push him from behind. He was forcefully thrown forward. Then, he plummeted and found himself in the middle of a rapid descent.
