Lan Hua laughed and said, "Actually, it's not that my archery skills are so great, but that I discovered a flaw in that gray dragon."
The gray dragon had a small wound on its waist, which I suspect was left from a fight with someone.
"Since it has wounds, its defenses are much weaker, so our arrows will naturally be able to wound the gray dragon!"
Nalan Ruode suddenly realized what was going on, gave Lan Hua a thumbs up, and gave her a big thumbs up.
Duanmu Rong said, "Brother Lan has good eyesight. The three of us didn't even notice the flaw in the gray dragon."
What's even more remarkable is that Brother Lan was able to accurately hit that weakness; truly amazing!
Lan Hua was almost carried away by everyone's praise, but fortunately, she had enough self-control and didn't let the sweet talk cloud her judgment.
Duanmu Zhi Qiu sighed, "It seems that my loss to Brother Lan wasn't too unfair after all!"
Everyone nodded with smiles.
However, Duanmu Zhi Qiu then asked, "Brother Lan, how do you know my family's invisible archery technique?"
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Qian also asked, "Brother Lan, you also know my family's Flowing Light Step. Who exactly is your master?"
Ouyang Zhengqi, who had been silent all along, asked curiously, "Could it be that some senior from a prominent family secretly instructed Brother Lan?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lan Hua, as if they wanted to devour her.
Lan Hua's heart skipped a beat. "My master is called Zi Yue. Is there such a person in the Duanmu family?"
Duanmu Qian said, "This sounds like a woman's name. There's no such person in any noble family!"
Do you know your master's surname?
Lan Hua truly didn't know her surname; Zi Yue had never mentioned it.
Just as everyone was wondering, Duanmu Rong suddenly said, "Brother Lan, could I borrow your bow to take a look?"
After the competition ended, Lan Hua did not put away the Yue Que Bow.
Although he didn't know what Duanmu Rong wanted the bow for, he hesitated for a moment before handing it to her.
But he remained vigilant, his grip on Yue Que's bow never loosening.
This is his old partner, so naturally he can't just hand it over to someone else.
Nalan Ruode asked curiously, "Does elder sister think that Brother Lan's victory is related to this bow?"
Duanmu Rong examined it carefully, then her expression changed slightly. She secretly transmitted her voice, and a disciple from a prominent family in the distance quietly left.
"Brother Lan, where did you get this bow?"
“My master gave it to me!” Lan Hua replied without hesitation.
Duanmu Rong said, "Brother Lan, there's something I hope you'll be prepared for after hearing it!"
"Please speak!"
Duanmu Rong said, "This bow is very likely from my Duanmu family!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Hua's expression changed drastically, and she said in a deep voice, "Does Miss have any basis for her statement?"
Duanmu Rong did not speak, but Duanmu Zhi Qiu carefully examined Yue Que Gong and then said:
"This bow does indeed resemble that of my Duanmu family. All bows from my Duanmu family bear the marks of trees on their bodies!"
After speaking, Duanmu Zhi Qiu handed over his Purple Cloud Bow.
"Brother Lan's bow has a willow pattern, while my Purple Cloud Bow has a purple plum pattern!"
When Lan Hua saw this, she realized it was true and was at a loss for what to do, so she simply put away the Yueque Bow.
After all, this bow was a gift from Zi Yue, and it cannot be lost.
"Perhaps it's just a coincidence. There are plenty of bows in the world with tree patterns engraved on them. Surely they can't all be from your Duanmu family?"
Lan Hua argued forcefully based on reason.
Duanmu Rong nodded slightly, "Brother Lan is right, so I sent someone to invite the patriarch. The patriarch knows the most about this bow!"
Lan Hua laughed and said, "It's just a bow, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"
Duanmu Rong said, "Actually, it's nothing, just asking the family head to appraise it."
Even if it truly is the bow of the Duanmu family, the patriarch probably wouldn't do anything to Brother Lan. Why not give it to you?"
Hearing this, Lan Hua felt a little more at ease.
A moment later, a figure walked over; it was none other than the head of the aristocratic family, Duanmu Wudi.
Duanmu Wudi appeared to walk very slowly, but he arrived in front of everyone in just a few steps, leaving behind several afterimages.
"Spectrum splitting and shadow transformation?"
Lan Hua recognized that the movement technique used by Duanmu Wudi was the Flowing Light Step, and that it had reached an extremely high level of splitting light and turning shadows.
Duanmu Wudi smiled and said, "I heard that you have a bow that needs to be appraised. May I take a look?"
Lan Hua had no choice but to hand the Yue Que Bow to Duanmu Wudi, though he was very reluctant, because he couldn't beat him.
Duanmu Wudi took the Yueque Bow, glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically; he was quite excited.
"This is... a growth-type war bow?"
Lan Hua's expression changed drastically. Duanmu Wudi could see through the bow's true nature with just one glance, which was truly terrifying.
"Indeed, this is a weapon that can be developed over time."
When my master gave it to me, it was only a high-grade magic weapon. After being upgraded, it became a mid-grade spirit bow!
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Zhi Qiu and the others were taken aback. It was the first time they had ever heard of a weapon that could grow in size, and they secretly thought that this bow was extraordinary.
Duanmu Wudi nodded slightly, "The bow is engraved with willow patterns, this bow is indeed from my Duanmu family!"
Lan Hua's heart sank. Even the head of the aristocratic family was surprised by Yue Que Gong. This matter was unlikely to end well.
"Patriarch, based on just these two points, it's probably difficult to prove that this bow belongs to the Duanmu family, isn't it?"
Duanmu Wudi put down the Yueque Bow, but showed no intention of returning it.
“Young friend, I have my reasons for being able to determine that this bow belongs to the Duanmu family.”
A hundred years ago, the elders of the aristocratic family used their supreme supernatural powers to contact the celestial beings of the aristocratic family who had ascended to the heavenly realm.
They were instructed to entrust the Heavenly Forging Family and the Tantai Family with the task of crafting a growth-type war bow using the Heavenly Forging Technique.
To mark this bow as belonging to the Duanmu family, a willow pattern was carved on it!
Upon hearing this, Lan Hua roughly understood a sliver of the truth.
When Zi Yue gave him the Piercing Bow, she said that the bow was originally meant to be given away, but she took it with her when she went out.
This does coincide somewhat with what Duanmu Wudi said.
"Damn, could Master's full name be Tantai Ziyue? From the Tantai family, and a master of the Heavenly Forging Technique?"
Lan Hua thought to herself, her heart churning with a profound and turbulent emotion that lingered for a long time.
"No, this bow was a gift from my beautiful master. Even if it truly belongs to the Duanmu family, we cannot simply hand it over like this!"
Lan Hua shamelessly said, "This bow was a gift from my master. Even if it belongs to your Duanmu family, please return it first, and then ask my master for it back!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile, secretly thinking that Lan Hua was quite shameless.
Duanmu Wudi asked, "Young friend, who is your master, and where does he come from?"
Lan Hua snorted, "My master's name is Zi Yue. I don't know which sect or school she comes from. I only know that she comes from the Heavenly Realm!"
"The Celestial Realm?"
The crowd gasped in surprise, seemingly not expecting Lan Hua to have such a powerful background. With a master like Tian Ren, it's no wonder he has achieved such success.
Duanmu Wudi's expression changed slightly, and he understood that Lan Hua was not making things up.
Because the Yueque Bow was forged using the Heavenly Forging Technique, which is mastered only by the Celestials of the Heavenly Realm.
His expression suddenly changed again as he thought of something: Lan Hua's master was able to bring the Yue Que Bow to the mortal realm; how powerful must he be?
Ordinary celestial beings cannot freely enter and leave the celestial realm and the mortal realm, since the celestial realm has its own rules.
Lan Hua's master is able to disregard the heavenly rules, so he must be no ordinary celestial being.
"This is a headache. This kid's backing is really strong!"
If I forcibly take back this bow, and Lan Hua's master comes knocking on the door to demand an explanation from the aristocratic family, it will inevitably bring disaster upon them.
Even if that celestial being doesn't make things difficult for the aristocratic families, I'm afraid this bow still won't stay.
After all, Lan Hua is a master archer; this bow is a matter of life and death for him, and he will definitely get it back!
Duanmu Wudi thought to himself, "That's all."
"Young friend, if you agree to one thing, I can return this bow now!"
