Chapter 330 The Backstabbing Comes

He Zheng whispered, "There are still wild boars. Oh my God, hurry up, brothers, keep your voices down. If this thing gets startled, it might attack us."

Shen Yibai said excitedly: "Come on, come on, it's my turn to shoot in the middle this time. At this distance, I can definitely hit it with one arrow!"

The young boys discussed the location and cooperated again.

“Swoosh—”

"We won again!" the teenagers cheered.

The servants went over to pick up the prey, shouting, "It's Young Master Shen's arrow!"

Shen Yibai immediately shouted: "It's mine! I won!"

Wei Xinglu also shouted wildly: "We are really lucky today, we hit the target every time. It's my turn next, it's my turn, I want to shoot a beautiful little fox too!"

“Swoosh—”

"Wow! I really hit the little fox!" Wei Xinglu was so happy.

The young boys were happier than each other. While letting the servants pick up the prey, they went looking for prey everywhere with great interest. Since they couldn't shoot the flying ones in the sky, they just looked for the ones running on the ground. At the end of the whole day, they had a great harvest.

The young men returned with a full load, and the eight servants had their hands full of prey. Shen Yibai was the funniest, as he insisted on holding the little wild boar he hunted, but the weight of several dozen kilograms made him fall to his knees.

"Hahaha, Yibai, it's not even the New Year yet, why are you wishing a happy new year?" Wei Xinglu laughed in an unkind manner.

The little devil also joked: "I think he is deeply impressed by our rapid improvement in archery skills and is ready to kneel down and worship us as his godfather."

He Zheng chuckled: "It's not impossible... Oh no, no, Brother Bai's majesty cannot be insulted!"

Shen Yibai threw the little wild boar and was about to start a fight, but He Zheng escaped because he changed his words quickly, and it turned into a fight between Wei, Shen and Cheng.

He Zheng stood aside and said to Zong Wenxiu timidly: "Luckily I changed my words quickly, otherwise I almost got beaten."

Zong Wenxiu smiled and said, "It's still early, let them play for a while. I heard that training muscles is good for your hands. This way, you won't get hand pain easily when you write frequently."

He Zheng was shocked: "Is there such a benefit? Brother Wen Xiu, wait a minute, I'm going to join them now!"

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

The five young men came out of the forest in a noisy manner and went to the place where the prey was counted. There were rewards for the royal hunt, and the top three would receive corresponding prizes.

"The Duke of Huguo's Mansion, the eldest son of the Luo family, Luo Ji, forty-five prey."

The boys heard this number as soon as they arrived, and they all stared in amazement at the cold and arrogant boy of twelve or thirteen years old. Luo Ji is the eldest son of Luo Jingfeng, and is said to be a famous genius in the martial arts academy.

Beside Luo Ji were the prey counted by the servants, forty-five in total. There were no big prey, mostly small ones, such as various flying birds, pigeons, hedgehogs, chickens, etc.

Shen Yibai looked at his side, which was full of large prey, and immediately felt that he had won: "None of his prey is as big as my wild boar."

Zong Wenxiu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's calculated based on the number, not the size. This Mr. Luo is an excellent archer, and the prey is not only numerous, but also quite difficult. Small prey is the most challenging for archery. You see, we basically can't catch small ones."

He Zheng said blankly: "That's it, we don't think we can match him."

Zong Jincheng shrugged and said, "No, then no. We are not from the martial arts academy, so we won't compete with him. Adjust your mindset and don't be blindly inward-looking. We are the successors of Wenquxing, and hunting is just for fun."

Shen Yibai immediately responded… "Hehe, that's right. Then go and take inventory. After the inventory is done, I will take my little wild boar home. The first meal will be braised, the second will be stir-fried, and the third will be served cold!"

Young men: “…”

While counting the prey, young men from other families came back one after another. When they saw Luo Ji, they avoided him from a distance, crowded next to Zong Jincheng and his group, and began to talk in a low voice.

"As expected of the eldest son of the Duke of Huguo, he even had the road blocked during the hunt, allowing only him to go through. He caught forty-five... Oh, if someone else had gone in, he wouldn't have been able to catch even thirty."

"That's right. I was blocked by the road I wanted to take just now. They directly took out the badge of the Duke of Protectorate. Who dares to go there and seek death?"

"Forget it, forget it. He is the Duke of Protectorate and General Luo. Who can afford to offend him? Speak softly, don't let Luo Ji hear it."

“…”

The five young boys were right next to them. They were caught off guard and ate Luo Ji's melon. They all looked at each other with their eyes wide open.

Zong Wenxiu blinked and said, "Is this how you hunted it?"

Wei Xinglu added: "Doesn't that mean they treat the hunting grounds as their own farm? They walk one way and shoot for fun."

Shen Yibai curled his lips and said, "No wonder he got so many prey. It turns out he took a shortcut. I was wondering why my little wild boar would lose."

Zong Jincheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's normal for your little wild boar to lose to him. Even if Luo Ji walked alone, he still hunted so many small prey. He has something. It's not for nothing that he is called a genius in the martial arts academy."

The other teenagers around him were dissatisfied: "What kind of genius boy is this from the martial arts academy? Who knows if his family has given him some kind of connection? He has a powerful father paving the way for him. If it were me, I could also shoot 45 of them, and maybe even pass the martial arts exam and become the top scorer."

"That's right, that's right. Just wait and see. Next year's top martial arts champion will definitely be Luo Ji. This is the default choice. Everyone knows it. No one dares to beat him."

While a few people were talking, Luo Ji walked over here.

He was tall and slender, with a calm look, and although he looked non-threatening, he frightened everyone so much that they all retreated, leaving only five people from the key class standing where they were.

Five young boys: "..."

No, you guys are acting as if we are the ones who said bad things about Luo Ji.

Although the five of them did join in the discussion a bit...

"What are you doing?" Zong Jincheng bravely stood in front of his brothers and faced Luo Ji.

Luo Ji didn't even look at him.

He walked past the five young boys in front of him and said to the boys who were saying bad things about him: "Since you are not convinced, let's have a competition. Let's see if I am the one you said needed a backdoor to pass the exam to become the top martial arts student."

Several young men trembled and said in a trembling voice: "You, you heard it wrong, we didn't say you wanted to use a backdoor. Young Master Luo is very powerful. We can't even compare to him. We all admire him in our hearts."

"Oh, yes, Master Luo is a great archer and has a great reputation. How dare we compare ourselves with you? It's like an ant trying to fight an elephant. We don't know our place."

The little devil got excited when he heard this. Since Luo Ji was a genius in the martial arts academy, he must be very good at martial arts and have good hearing. He heard all the idle talk about him just now, without missing a word.

This melon suddenly became interesting to eat.

Luo Ji said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? I am me, and my father is my father. I don't ask who you are. Just come and compete based on your own abilities, and I will prevent you from ruining my reputation outside."
