Chapter 13: The Frightened Nan Xuan Fei
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, the members of the Nan family all changed their expressions.
“What country bumpkin are you talking about?”
“Right! Who gave you, a mountain dweller, the confidence?”
“Big brother! You have to teach this country bumpkin a lesson! Show him what a martial artist is!”
At this moment, Nan Xuan Fei’s face was extremely ugly!
Who was she?
She was the daughter of the main branch of the Nan family! She was destined to marry into the Yang Family!
Now, she was actually asked by a country bumpkin to bark like a dog three times?
“You! How dare you, a country bumpkin, ask me to bark like a dog?”
Nan Xuan Fei glared fiercely at Bai Chen.
Beside her, Nan Lin frowned as well.
“Bai Chen, what do you mean by that?”
Nan Xuan Fei walked over to Nan Lin and shot a fierce look at Bai Chen.
“A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin! You don’t understand any rules, and just because you entered the Nan family, you’ve lost all sense of reality! Brother, teach him a lesson for me!”
Bai Chen, however, smiled lightly.
It was clear that Nan Xuan Fei had always looked down on him, so why had his words pierced her defenses?
“Could it be that you are scared? Or do you lack confidence in your brother?”
“As you said, I am just a country bumpkin from the mountains, only knowing how to farm. How can I compete with you all?”
Upon hearing this, Nan Xuan Fei frowned, her eyes filled with disgust.
“Alright! Who’s afraid of whom! But what if you lose?”
“If I lose, I will let you handle me as you wish!”
Bai Chen’s face remained calm. Did he really think he would lose to these ordinary people?
He just didn’t want these people to bother him anymore.
If they hadn’t pressed him step by step, he wouldn’t have paid them any attention at all.
Does anyone care about ants?
“Great! If you lose, you have to crawl around the courtyard of the Nan family three times!”
“Remember, crawl like a dog three times!”
“Likewise, if we lose, I, Nan Xuan Fei, will bark like a dog three times! And I will give you three hundred thousand!”
Nan Lin frowned, wanting to persuade his sister not to be so impulsive.
But since Nan Xuan Fei had already spoken, he didn’t know what else to say.
Everyone moved to the archery hall in the Nan family courtyard.
Nan Lin picked up a specially made paulownia bow, its cowhide string strong and flexible.
“This is the paulownia bow that only those at the mid-stage of martial arts cultivation can use. Are you about to level up, big brother?” Nan Xuan Fei asked, somewhat surprised.
Nan Lin replied lightly with a smile, “Soon!”
Seeing this, Nan Xuan Fei’s confidence grew, and her gaze toward Bai Chen became even more disdainful.
A farmer country bumpkin from the mountains probably didn’t even understand what he had just said.
Nan Lin weighed the bow and arrow in his hands, then pulled back the string to form a half-moon shape, aiming at the distant target.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With several arrows flying out, five arrows hit the target center accurately!
“Wonderful! Full score!”
Nan Xuan Fei clapped her hands.
Nan Lin stretched his slightly sore arms and couldn’t help but smile at his score.
“It looks like I’m close to breaking through to the mid-stage!”
Archery is a skill that tests strength to the extreme.
To break into the mid-stage, one must be able to draw the specially made paulownia bow to its fullest and shoot five arrows, all hitting the target.
The members of the Nan family around them praised Nan Lin for his achievement.
“Big brother is amazing! He’s about to become mid-stage at such a young age!”
“Yeah! This talent ranks among the best in Lintai! Our Nan family is not far from rising!”
If nothing unexpected happens, Nan Lin will become the leading figure of the third generation of the Nan family.
Five years ago, that position belonged to Nan Yue Ran.
“Alright, country bumpkin, it’s your turn! If you admit defeat now, I’ll only make you crawl one circle!”
A hint of mockery appeared on Nan Xuan Fei’s face.
Bai Chen cast a brief glance at Nan Xuan Fei.
“I hope you can keep that expression later.”
“Hmph! Talk big! I want to see what you can do!”
Bai Chen ignored Nan Xuan Fei and gave Nan Yue Ran a reassuring look.
He approached the bow and picked up the paulownia bow as well, but only glanced at it.
This bow was the best here and showcased strength the most.
“Hmph! I advise you to know your limits. Losing the bet is one thing, but if you don’t handle that bow properly, be careful not to injure yourself!”
Nan Lin sneered from the side.
His implication was that he hoped Bai Chen would choose a bow suitable for his skill level.
“Big brother, why do you care about him? Let him show off if he wants! I want to see how he looks when he can’t even draw the bow!”
Bai Chen looked at the two and then set the bow and arrows aside.
“Who said I have to use a bow and arrow?”
After saying that, Bai Chen directly picked up five arrows with his hands.
The members of the Nan family widened their eyes at this scene.
Nan Lin squinted his eyes and couldn’t help but speak up,
“Don’t be reckless! Is this how you shoot arrows?!”
Nan Xuan Fei covered her mouth and laughed immediately.
“I think you’re here to put on a show! You think you can make us laugh with such nonsense?”
Even Nan Yue Ran looked at Bai Chen with uncertainty.
What was Bai Chen doing?
Was he going to fling the arrows with his hands?
However, in the next moment, Bai Chen made everyone stop talking.
He raised his arm, lightly flicked his hand, and the five arrows suddenly shot out!
This was much stronger than Nan Lin!
But the real shock was yet to come!
Thud!
Five dull thuds echoed.
At that moment, five sharp arrows were perfectly embedded in the target!
Moreover, they pierced through the arrows Nan Lin had previously shot!
For a moment, all the members of the Nan family were left speechless, their faces filled with shock as they watched this scene.
“It’s impossible!”
The first to come back to his senses was Nan Lin.
“How could you achieve this?!”
To flick an arrow and hit the target, while also penetrating his arrows!
Was that possible?
Bai Chen replied lightly,
“What’s so impossible about this? Is it really that hard?”
After saying that, Bai Chen looked at Nan Xuan Fei, who was still stunned.
“Alright, I’ve won now. It’s time for you to keep your promise.”
Nan Lin had to shoot five times to hit the target, and he pulled it back only to half-moon shape.
But Bai Chen shot five arrows with just his hands!
And the most terrifying part was that he shot through Nan Lin’s arrows!
In terms of both accuracy and strength, Bai Chen completely overwhelmed Nan Lin!
Who won and who lost was obvious.
At that moment, Nan Xuan Fei looked at Bai Chen and suddenly shouted in anger,
“It’s impossible! There’s something wrong! I don’t believe you could do this!”
Hearing Nan Xuan Fei’s words, Bai Chen’s gaze turned cold.
A fierce pressure burst forth from him.
His patience with Nan Xuan Fei had nearly worn thin.
“Are you not going to keep your promise?”
Bai Chen’s voice was icy.
In an instant, Nan Xuan Fei felt as if she were facing a wild beast.
Unable to bear the pressure from Bai Chen, her legs gave way, and she knelt before him!
Feeling the pressure coming from Bai Chen, fear filled Nan Xuan Fei’s heart.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
Without needing Bai Chen to say anything further, Nan Xuan Fei pulled out a bank card.
“There’s three hundred thousand in here!”
“Please, let me go!”
