Chapter 425: Chapter 424: To See You Kneel Before Me, Truly Heaven Has Eyes

Hao Ren was pulled aside by Ji Yuntai.

He wore a troubled expression, "This..."

Ji Yuntai, patting his shoulder to console him, said, "Listen to your senior brother, it’ll be fine."

If they could directly take down Qin Xiao in this third round of the bet, then all matters related to the Tianxiang Industry would be easily resolved.

The case of the missing girl that Hao Ren was worried about might also find some leads.

Everyone cleared the space.

Making room for Qin Xiao and Yan Wanqing.

"Madam, it’s not too late to regret now." Qin Xiao drew his bow, the empty bowstring pulled back, and he made a shooting gesture at Yan Wanqing, mouthing, "Swoosh—!"

"Idiot!" A small figure in the crowd couldn’t help but curse aloud.

Standing next to her, the Crown Prince snapped his fan shut and placed it by Yan Lingzhen’s mouth, "Children should not curse."

"Oh!" Yan Lingzhen pouted.

At that moment, Yan Wanqing looked at Qin Xiao, "Mr. Qin, if you want to back out, you can leave the field now."

She gave him one last chance.

Qin Xiao thought that Yan Wanqing was just stubbornly bluffing, "Thank you for your consideration, Madam, but there’s no need. Do you shoot first, or shall I?"

"How about together?" Yan Wanqing waved at Yan Hongzhao, "My sister is holding a lychee, find someone to hold one for you too. Let’s shoot at each other the moment the gongs sound. Whoever dodges loses the round."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao laughed out loud, "Madam, oh madam, you truly are a heroine among women. In just a short span of hours, I’ve repeatedly revised my view of you, remarkable indeed!"

He gave Yan Wanqing a thumbs up.

Yan Wanqing nodded slightly, "It seems Mr. Qin agrees, then let’s begin."

Both parties entered the arena.

The Yan sisters were unrivaled in beauty, standing there like a strikingly beautiful scene.

Qin Xiao, short and plain-looking, had a sleazy air when he pulled the bow string.

He found a brawny man, clearly practiced in martial arts, to hold the lychee.

If Yan Wanqing missed her shot later, he could also pull him to dodge.

"Remember, not hitting the lychee counts as a loss," Qin Xiao reiterated, "Dodging at this point counts!"

Yan Wanqing nodded, "Mr. Qin is careful; that’s natural."

She wouldn’t joke with her own body.

Drawing the bow.

Ji Yuntai held the gong aside, and when both were ready, he struck it hard!

With a deep "dong—" sound, as the note lingered, two arrow feathers shot out simultaneously towards each other!

Many covered their eyes, unwilling to watch.

"It hit! It hit!"

Only then did people dare to lower their hands.

The first thing they saw was the woman in red, holding a lychee in one hand and an arrow feather aimed straight at Yan Wanqing’s neck in the other. The tip of the arrow feather was mere millimeters from the delicate skin, a tad slower and the beauty might have died tragically, in body and soul.

Clearly, Qin Xiao had missed.

But looking over at Qin Xiao’s side, beneath the sweaty brawny man, the lychee was perfectly pierced by a long arrow!

Perfectly on target, the long arrow passed through the lychee.

The brawny man waved the lychee in front of everyone, unable to hide his excitement.

Who would have thought that this seemingly frail woman could actually shoot the lychee with one arrow!

From shock came wild joy.

But glancing at his master’s face, the brawny man’s face turned the color of liver.

Disaster, he got carried away in excitement!

Who knows how his master might punish him in a moment.

"Mr. Qin, thank you for allowing me the win," Yan Wanqing maintained her composure, raising her red lips towards Qin Xiao with a nod, "I shall gladly accept the Tianxiang Industry."

Qin Xiao’s face looked even worse, his grip on the bow and arrow tightening.

Two wins out of three games, and Yan Wanqing had won two!

He had truly lost the Tianxiang Industry to a woman!

If this news reached Grand Tutor Qin’s ears, he was done for!

"Mr. Qin, seeing that you look quite unwell, you aren’t thinking of going back on your word, are you?" Yan Wanqing gently covered her lips and chuckled, "So many are watching. Mr. Qin has always prided himself on being fair and honorable; surely you weren’t wearing this expression when you used that maiden’s life to threaten me earlier."

Yan Wanqing dropped her earlier gentle demeanor, now sparring with words sharply.

Qin Xiao was so angry his face turned red and his neck bulged.

He seized the moment when nobody was prepared, and drew his bow with an arrow, "You wretch! How dare you set a trap for me! Die!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the long sword darted toward Yan Wanqing!

The power was overwhelming, clearly showing that Qin Xiao earnestly sought to take Yan Wanqing’s life!

No one expected that under the watchful eyes of the public, Qin Xiao, driven to desperation, was truly prepared to kill to silence her!

If Yan Wanqing died, the bet would be null and void, and Tianxiang Industry could be saved.

In Luzhou County, he was still that Qin Dong, who could overshadow the sky with one hand!

Yan Wanqing stood her ground without moving.

Everyone thought she was stunned by fear.

Her sister, who could catch arrows with her bare hands, was also standing afar, and it was too late to come over now!

"Ah!" Someone couldn’t help but exclaim.

They couldn’t bear to watch such an exquisitely beautiful woman die under Qin Xiao’s long arrow.

"If I could hit your lychee, how could I not catch your weak arrow?"

Beneath the flying dust, Yan Wanqing spoke lightly.

Almost no one saw when she raised her hand.

The long arrow aimed at her forehead was already pinched in the palm of her hand.

Under the gaze of the public, Yan Wanqing raised her hand and, as fast as lightning, sent the long arrow hurtling toward Qin Chuan.

Only a scream was heard, and Qin Chuan covered his ears.

Yet the long arrow did not stop until it crashed into the wall and buried itself three inches deep into the wood!

Qin Chuan’s left ear bled profusely, and he could feel a large hole in the middle of his ear!

This woman... this woman was terrifying!

Qin Xiao was terrified; this moment, his legs trembled, and a stream of warmth flowed down his trousers, collecting on the ground into a puddle of unspeakable liquid.

"Qin Xiao peed his pants from fear, hahaha!"

Laughter erupted from the crowd.

Qin Xiao only had a sense of having narrowly escaped death.

Too terrifying, indeed too terrifying, he believed that if this woman made her move, he had no chance of survival!

If that arrow had been aimed at his life, the guards beside him would certainly not have been able to block it.

With this realization, Qin Xiao grew even more frightened.

"Mercy, mercy!" He knelt on the ground, begging Yan Wanqing for forgiveness.

No one expected the situation to take such a turn.

At this moment, Hao Ren could hardly hide the excitement on his face, "That lady—"

"She is the Princess Anping you’ve always been longing to find," Ji Yuntai whispered to his junior brother.

Hao Ren immediately pinched the philtrum, fearing that excessive excitement might cause him to faint.

Heaven indeed favored him!

Who would have thought that Princess Anping had actually been by his side all along!

And she had helped him take care of the bully of Luzhou County with just one move!

Yan Wanqing looked at Qin Xiao, "While everyone is here, you might as well confess everything. The death of the croupier siblings, is it related to you?"

Qin Xiao knelt on the ground, hesitating.

Yan Wanqing already had her bow drawn and aimed, "Won’t you speak?"

"I’ll speak, speak, speak! It was me, it was my doing," Faced with life and death, Qin Xiao dared not hide anything.

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanqing threw her bow and arrow aside on the ground, and said to Hao Ren standing behind her, "County Magistrate, the case is closed."

Hao Ren stepped forward briskly, "What?"

Yan Hongzhao looked at him with a silly expression, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Sister says the case is closed. Qin Xiao has already admitted to killing the croupier siblings. As for the causes and consequences, it’s up to you to investigate."

Hao Ren immediately spoke in a stern voice, "Arrest Qin Xiao and take him to the main hall for trial!"

This villain had delivered himself to his doorstep; there was no reason for him not to accept the case.

Glaring fiercely at Qin Xiao, the County Magistrate felt a sense of exhilaration today and marched steadily toward the main hall.

He put on his official robe and donned his vermillion hat, sitting solemnly on the raised platform.

Qin Xiao was pressed down by the shoulders, kneeling below.

This scene.

Hao Ren had dreamed of it for many years, and today it had finally become reality.

"Qin Xiao, oh Qin Xiao, to see you kneeling before the official in my lifetime, truly the heavens have eyes!"
