”Hahaha, of course, as long as you have the ability!” ”Yes!” Xiao He replied with a hearty laugh. Instantly, the atmosphere at the scene eased up. Yang Chen first wiped his forehead, he was so scared that he sweated all over and almost bit off his tongue.

”Then, how should we compete?” Feng Yunzheng smiled as he looked at Xiao He. Under the illumination of the sunlight, his entire body was bathed in golden light.

”In this king's opinion, it should be the simplest. The target should be at least a hundred meters away, and everyone should fire five arrows to see who has the highest number of targets.” At this moment, Feng Qianyue walked over as well.

”Alright, we'll do as His Highness says. However, the target has been moved two hundred meters away, is it possible?” Xiao He.

Two hundred meters? Immediately, those who were eager to give it a try began to retreat. A distance of 100 meters was already enough. A distance of 200 meters was more than enough to hit a target, and some people could not even see the target.

”Isn't it a bit too far?” someone asked.

”After all, what we want to take away today is the Xiao family's item. The rules can naturally be decided by the Xiao family's people. According to this king, the Heavenly Treasure Great General's suggestion is acceptable.” Feng Qianyue said.

”Good!” ”Then it's a deal!”

Xiao He was good at fighting and also good at fighting, so he was the first to pick up the bow and arrow. He held the arrow high up and with a 'sou' sound, the arrow shot out like lightning.

”Straight on the bull's eye!” The guard guarding the target reported as he ran over.

”As expected of the great general of Treasure Heaven, the young duke is truly amazing.” Someone in the crowd cheered.

Lian Ru Yue sat on her chair and smiled as she watched the competition between these men. Actually, no matter if it was in terms of scheming or martial arts, Xiao He was the best. He was someone who could truly live up to the title of ”Heavenly Treasure General.” It was a pity that he was born in the wrong family and ended up becoming Xiao Zhenhai's son.

At the female guest's table, the servants were carrying bowls of honey soup and placing them on the table one by one.

”I heard that this honey broth soup is Madam Xiao's favorite dessert. Today, we're taking it orally.” The assistant minister's wife smiled as she picked up the bowl in front of her, scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, carefully tasting it.

”Eldest Miss, please have some soup.” At this time, a maid was holding a bowl of sweet soup, but her hand suddenly trembled, and the large bowl fell onto the table. All of the wet soup fell onto Lian Ruyue's body, and a large portion of her chest and legs became wet.

Her face darkened and she abruptly stood up.

Liu Xi Ren frowned and hurried over. ”How did you do that?”

The maidservant was so frightened that she quickly kneeled on the ground and said, ”Miss, please spare my life. This servant, this servant, this servant did not do it on purpose. I did not do it on purpose.”

The small commotion over here seemed to have attracted their attention. Feng Ye, Feng Yu, and the others even turned their heads to look over.

Lian Ruyue said, ”Forget it, don't disturb His Highness and the General when they shoot the arrows. I will go find a place to clean up my clothes.”

She didn't want to attract too much attention, so she turned around to leave her seat. At this moment, Lian Shiya also stood up with a look of disdain on her face as she said, ”Big Sis, how can you clean your clothes when they're this wet? I'll accompany you to the Yi Cui Courtyard to change.”

Lian Ru Yue looked at Lian Shiya and said, ”Alright, then I'll be troubling Third Sister.”

The two sisters and the maidservants walked all the way to Xiao Rou's Yi Cui Yuan Courtyard. Lian Shiya turned around and said to the crowd, ”This is the Xiao family's eldest daughter's courtyard. She doesn't like strangers. Wait here for her.”

”Yes.” The maidservants responded in unison.
