Chapter 166 "Ah Xu, none of them are as good as me."

The wind in the paddock blew up the man's loose robe. He stood there with long hair like ink and handsome and indifferent eyes.

For some reason, Pei Jingxu suddenly remembered the first time he met him.

A man has the bones of a crane and the demeanor of a pine tree, like an orchid or a jade tree.

——He is like the bright moon in the sky and the gods and Buddhas in the temple, and never seems to be moved by anyone.

But Pei Jingxu refused.

She just wanted the bright moon to come down to earth and attract the attention of gods and Buddhas.

Just like now, those eyes were only on her.

Rong Xuanzhou still looked at Pei Jingxu.

Seeing that she didn't move, he just curled his lips and smiled, reaching out his hand to hold her wrist: "A Xu..."

Seeing this, Pei Jingxu slightly turned his body to avoid it.

She spoke timidly and in a low voice: "I am not good at archery and will be a burden to my husband. It is better for my husband to team up with the Bai family."

The smile on Rong Xuanzhou's face froze. "Pei Jingxu, what on earth are you fussing about?"

After a pause, Rong Xuanzhou took a deep breath and deliberately slowed down his tone: "Okay, there are so many people here, don't lose your temper."

Pei Jingxu raised her eyes slightly and looked at Rong Xuanzhou in front of her: "I am not angry. Last night... I thought for a long time, but I still haven't figured out how to get along with my husband. So, my husband... let's separate for the time being."

After saying that, Pei Jingxu avoided Rong Xuanzhou and walked behind him.

Rong Xuanzhou was like a kite in Pei Jingxu's hand. She needed to pull the kite string to ensure the most appropriate time for her to "sleep together" with him.

At least for now, Pei Jingxu is too lazy to pay attention to Rong Xuanzhou.

The hand was still hovering in the air, not retracted.

Rong Xuanzhou stared slightly, his eyes were cold and complicated, and his face was as cold as frost.

Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes and watched Pei Jingxu pass by Rong Xuanzhou and walk towards him step by step.

His sight was like an intricate web, harvesting her step by step, inch by inch, and drawing her closer.

Until she stood in front of him, the net was so tight that there was no way to retreat or hide.

They were all densely packed and fell on her alone.

Pei Jingxu raised her eyes slightly, and said softly and carefully: "Husband——"

"Jun Mou."

Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment, with a look of confusion and bewilderment in his eyes: "What?"

"My courtesy name," Rong Jianxue said in a cold and indifferent tone. The two words came out of his mouth without any emotion. "Call me Junmou."

Pei Jingxu's eyes widened, her cheeks flushed. "I've never heard of your courtesy name."

——She really hadn't heard of it.

Even in the original plot of the story, Rong Jianxue's courtesy name seems to have never been mentioned.

That is a name that only the closest people can call out, it is too intimate.

Even in the storybook, when the heroine Bai Shutong thought she had the best relationship with Rong Jianxue, she only called him "Sir".

Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes to look at her, his dark pupils cold and indifferent: "Scream for me to hear."

Pei Jingxu said timidly: "A Xu doesn't dare..."

Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged: "Pei Jingxu, since you have asked me for something, you should abide by my rules."

"Call me."

A few emotions flashed in his eyes, and Pei Jingxu's face became even more embarrassed. He called out softly: "Jun Mou..."

The way she called out those two words was different from how he called out them.

With a bit of trembling and tenderness, she spoke softly and cautiously, as if to wrap up these two words. The ending tone rose, and you could hear her slight tremor.

Twirl the Buddhist beads with your fingertips.

She heard the man's muffled laugh and responded with a hoarse voice, "Let's go."

Pei Jingxu: "Where are you going?"

"Win the championship."

The two people's voices were not loud. Rong Xuanzhou looked at the backs of Pei Jingxu and his elder brother as they left, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

His mind recalled what Bai Shutong said to him last night.

[Shu Tong thought that Sister Pei and Master Young Master... might really have something going on.]

Clenching his finger bones, Rong Xuanzhou pursed his thin lips.

In the distance, Bai Shutong looked at Rong Xuanzhou's cold face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't you need a change of clothes?"

Pei Jingxu looked at Rong Jianxue in front of him and stopped in front of the bow stand.

"No need," he stepped back a few steps, letting her choose. "Come and choose."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingxu took a few steps forward and ran his fingertips over the heavy bows: "Ah Xu... I can't even lift them."

He stood behind her, easily covering her figure, and his wide robe covered her completely.

In the distance, many women had chosen their partners and were happily listening to the men beside them teaching them how to use it.

No one noticed this.

The hand that was resting on the bow and arrow was covered by another broad, warm and cool palm.

Like a frightened deer, Pei Jingxu hurriedly pulled back her hand, subconsciously took a step back, and bumped into his arms.

“I’ll be seen…”

Pei Jingxu spoke in a panic, subconsciously wanting to escape.

A hand blocked her way, and from a distance, one would only think that the young master was "carefully" selecting a bow and arrow.

The fragrance of flowers filled his arms, and Pei Jingxu lowered his head, looking at a loss.

"I will draw the bow, and you will just follow me."

As he said this, he picked up the lightest bow from the bow rack. The bow was relatively slender, so she could hold it without any difficulty.

After the selection was completed, the gong over there was struck.

"Everyone! Let's gather here for the competition!"

"As you can see, the target is set a hundred paces away. A team of men and women will form a group. The one who hits the most bull's-eyes wins!"

The contestants each stood in their own seats.

Pei Jingxu also followed Rong Jianxue to his position.

After taking a look at the people around her, Bai Shutong finally chose the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. Shen Qianfan stood beside her, lowered his head slightly, and looked at Bai Shutong with gentle and affectionate eyes.

Not being chosen by Bai Shutong, Shen Huaichen didn't even participate in the competition anymore. He had already left the shooting range and disappeared.

Looking further away, Rong Xuanzhou, who was rejected by her, casually invited a female relative.

The woman seemed very interested in target shooting and gladly accepted the invitation.

Noticing Pei Jingxu's gaze, Rong Xuanzhou looked at her with a serious look in his eyes.

"I thought Master Young Master would not participate in this kind of competition."

On the side, Shen Qianfan spoke coldly. He held Bai Shutong's hands with both of his own and drew the bow along with her movements.

Rong Jianxue remained calm, held Pei Jingxu's hands, and pulled the bowstring.

"Master Young Master, have you ever considered that competing with Madam Pei might draw criticism from others?"

As if Shen Qianfan's "warning" hadn't registered with her, Rong Jianxue whispered to her, "Do you want to learn the bow?"

Without much effort, Pei Jingxu used Rong Jianxue's strength to easily pull the bow and arrow.

A man's elegant and tingling voice came to his ears, and Pei Jingxu nodded gently.

Then, she heard the man's low and dark coaxing.

"Speak, I beg you to teach me, sir."

A tingling sensation spread from the tip of his ear throughout his body. Pei Jingxu's legs felt slightly weak, and the corners of his eyes turned red. "I, I can learn from others."

She heard the man's careless chuckle.

"Ah Xu, none of them are as good as me."
