Li Changsheng then nodded to Li Chang'an. At this moment, his eyes were shining brightly. With the bow and arrow in his hand, he seemed full of energy, as if a long-suppressed soul had been released.
Li Chang'an immediately smiled at Li Changsheng, then took two steps back to get a completely open view.
Immediately afterwards, Li Changsheng walked to a place about several dozen feet away from the archery target.
After taking his stance, Li Changsheng held the bow steadily in one hand, and with the other hand, he smoothly drew an arrow from the quiver behind his back. His feet were spread apart, his back ramrod straight, and he assumed a ready stance.
The arrow was nocked on the bowstring, the muscles in his arm suddenly contracted, the bow was drawn back, ready to be released.
Then Li Changsheng half-closed one eye, his brows furrowed slightly, and after aiming at the target, the arrow, accompanied by the wind, swiftly flew straight towards the bullseye.
Li Chang'an's gaze followed the movement of the arrow.
There was a slight sound of a sharp object piercing the grass target, and the arrow was firmly embedded in the target surface and did not move.
The series of actions were completed in one smooth motion. After finishing, Li Changsheng felt as if he had accomplished a very sacred task. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed. His gaze naturally turned towards Li Chang'an.
But at this moment, Li Chang'an did not look at him, but walked straight towards the straw target by himself.
The woman's sharp eyes were slightly narrowed, her expression serious, giving her an indescribable air of mystery.
Soon, Li Chang'an walked up to the target, and Li Changsheng followed.
For some reason, a slight feeling of tension and excitement welled up in Li Changsheng's heart.
He was eagerly anticipating Li Chang'an's evaluation of his swordsmanship, but he was also afraid that the other party would feel disappointed if he thought he hadn't done well enough.
This was the first time in his life that he had worked so hard to show what he had learned to others, and the first time that he had so desperately wanted to gain recognition from others.
However, Li Chang'an had not yet spoken. She simply stood there quietly looking at the straw target in front of her, her expression still serious, which made Li Changsheng, who was standing to the side, feel uneasy.
Could it be that I did a really bad job?
Li Changsheng couldn't help but mutter to himself, but then he carefully recalled his actions from beginning to end, and realized that he had followed all the instructions given by Deputy General Sun.
How long have you been practicing archery?
Time seems to drag on endlessly when there is no one to say a word.
Li Chang'an's sudden words caught Li Changsheng off guard.
He was momentarily stunned, then carefully considered the meaning of the other person's words.
However, Li Chang'an's mind wasn't mature enough to understand that. Trying to decipher other people's thoughts was still somewhat difficult for him.
"I've been learning for about half a month..."
Li Changsheng's tone sounded somewhat timid. After speaking, he glanced up at Li Chang'an's expression and then lowered his head again.
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked intently at the person beside him and said, "That's right."
But after hearing her two short words, Li Changsheng was stunned. He blinked twice, not quite understanding whether Li Chang'an's words meant the same thing as he had thought.
good?
Is he praising himself?
Seeing Li Changsheng's blank expression, Li Chang'an couldn't help but smile, and then said, "I didn't expect our Changsheng to be so amazing. In just half a month, he has mastered archery to such a level. Not bad, not bad at all!"
After saying that, Li Chang'an reached out and gently patted Li Changsheng on the shoulder to show his encouragement.
"Really?"
Li Changsheng never dreamed that the other party would give him such high praise, but his first reaction was not to be complacent, but to ask incredulously.
"Of course, you have to have confidence in yourself!"
Li Chang'an nodded with a confident expression and said.
At this moment, all the tension and anxiety in Li Changsheng's heart vanished, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face. He felt that his heart was sweeter than honey.
Then, Li Chang'an resumed his serious demeanor, took the bow from Li Changsheng's hand, drew an arrow, lightly touched the ground with his toes, retreated twenty feet, and then shot the arrow out with lightning speed.
The arrow struck the bullseye directly, and it was clear that the arrow was extremely powerful. When the arrow hit the bullseye, the entire straw target swayed slightly involuntarily.
Li Chang'an's entire set of actions was executed so smoothly, as if he were doing something extremely ordinary, yet it had a tremendous impact on the onlookers.
At this moment, Li Chang'an was still staring blankly at the straw target in front of him.
He felt as if it had only been a blink of an eye, and an arrow had shot out from a bow and hit the bullseye.
If it weren't for the very real feeling of a strong gust of wind rushing towards him, Li Changsheng would have even doubted whether he was hallucinating.
Li Chang'an walked towards him at a leisurely pace. The woman's expression remained indifferent, as if she had simply snapped her fingers casually in front of him.
"Royal sister..."
Li Changsheng stared blankly for a long time before finally managing to utter those two words.
"Um?"
After Li Chang'an responded, he turned to look at the child and couldn't help but chuckle.
She reached out and gently poked Li Changsheng's forehead, then said, "What's wrong? You're so dumbfounded, you can't even speak properly?"
Only then did Li Changsheng suddenly seem to enter his own mind, looking up at Li Chang'an with a serious expression and saying, "Royal Sister, you are so amazing!"
At this moment, Li Chang'an could be said to have become the person Li Changsheng admired the most, and her image had become very tall in the child's heart in just a short while.
Faced with such a nonsensical expression of admiration, Li Chang'an was immediately amused.
Then she said earnestly, "You must know that there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. There will never be the most capable person in this world, only someone more capable."
These words left Li Changsheng bewildered. He nodded thoughtfully, then silently absorbed the principles into his mind, intending to digest them slowly in the future.
