Therefore, he understood even more clearly how amazing Xia Chujian's talent was!
He couldn't help but ask, "Xia Chujian, when did you practice shooting? How long did you practice?"
Xia Chujian was grateful for his help and said with a smile, "Teacher Zong, I started practicing marksmanship when I was fifteen years old and joined the Night Hunter Association."
"You know, with my background, it's impossible for me to practice shooting since I was a child."
"Firstly, I don't have the opportunity to handle firearms, and secondly, I don't have the financial resources."
"You know the Night Hunters Association, right? It's actually a civilian organization for bounty hunters, but it's the largest civilian organization among bounty hunters."
"One advantage they have there is that they can practice their marksmanship."
"Of course, there are conditions and restrictions. For example, the number of practice opportunities and bullets per year are fixed."
"It's impossible for you to practice for free indefinitely."
"If you want to use extra time to practice, you'll have to pay for the bullets yourself."
"I was lucky. The first time I got a gun, I felt I could use it well."
"The facts also prove that I do have some talent for firearms."
Xia Chujian spoke rather modestly and implicitly.
But Zong Ruoning is not an ordinary person.
He comes from the Zong family military industry.
He said, "Xia Chujian, can you really master your marksmanship in just three years?"
"You know me too. Zong's military industry is our family business."
"I know you are more familiar with my cousin Zong Ruoan, but compared to him, I spend more time on the family business."
"Actually, I was raised by my grandfather. When I was very young, he took me to the Zong family's arsenal, where I grew up watching all kinds of assembly lines."
Xia Chujian tilted her head: "So? What do you mean?"
Zong Ruoning said: "I also know how to shoot, and I have been practicing since I was a child."
"But I've practiced marksmanship for over twenty years, and I'm still not even one-tenth as good as you."
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "You are the heir to the Zong family's military industry, why do you need to compete with me?"
At this moment, she discovered that although the second branch of the Zong family had an eldest princess, Zong Ruoan's status in the Zong family was still not as good as Zong Ruoning.
Otherwise, why would Zong Ruoan run for parliament?
Isn’t it great to manage a family business?
And judging from Zong Ruoan's performance, Xia Chujian really didn't think that he could compare to his cousin who had lost his father.
Zong Ruoning said, "I'm not trying to compete with you. I'm just stating a fact."
"I really underestimated you before. I was worried that you couldn't beat Wenren Sanshang..."
Xia Chujian is not an ungrateful person.
She said, "Teacher Zong is too modest. You are trying to stop this duel because you care about me."
"Actually, I'm not a very aggressive person, and I don't want to duel with anyone, but if I'm forced to this point, I won't back down."
Zong Ruoning nodded: "That's great... However, your marksmanship is too incredible, we still have to find a way to cover it up."
Xia Chujian rolled his eyes and said, "...Second Young Master Zong once told others that I am a bounty hunter supported by the Zong family."
Zong Ruoning's eyes lit up and he said, "That's a good idea! I'm convinced that you are the one our Zong family supports."
"And it wasn't after you joined the Night Hunters Association, it was before that."
"When necessary, our Zong Clan will announce to the public that you have been secretly nurturing us since you began showing your talent at the age of six."
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched and he said, "No need to be so exaggerated, right?"
"Besides, my membership in the Night Hunter Association is well documented, but did I accept support from the Zong family at the age of six?"
This is too much.
Unexpectedly, Zong Ruoning said, "We in the Zong family already have some secret support plans."
"Currently, throughout the entire Beichen Galaxy, not just the Beichen Empire, but also in the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom, the Southern Cross Principality, and the Ximaneli Federation, we have people we support."
"They all showed their talents at a very young age and were selected by us to start supporting them. It's called the Talented Youth Program."
"And don't worry, this kind of plan exists in the other three dukedoms and even in the royal families of various countries."
"All I need is to create a file for you."
"I have given this file the highest level of confidentiality. Only my grandfather and I can access it."
"That's foolproof."
Xia Chujian said, "Isn't this bad? You're dragging your grandfather into this..."
Zong Ruoning said, "If my grandfather knew your marksmanship, he would be more willing than I am to include you in our Zong family's support plan."
Xia Chujian felt a headache and couldn't help saying, "Second Young Master Zong only needed to tell others at that time. You are making such a big fuss..."
Zong Ruoning said: "Ruoan doesn't realize your importance."
"I will not be wrong about the person he misjudged."
That's really soothing.
