In short, Xie Li's ability to hit the bullseye seems more like luck than skill.
Jiang Baili was also satisfied with her results, and looked at Xie Li with a smile: "Want to give it a try? You might not be able to hit the bullseye this time..."
Before she finished speaking, Xie Li casually picked up an arrow and shot it out. Her movements were incredibly fast, making one wonder if she had even aimed at the target.
But then, with a whoosh, the bullseye!
If hitting the bullseye with one arrow is a coincidence, then hitting it with two arrows is highly unlikely.
Jiang Baili opened her mouth, but couldn't finish her sentence.
She thought for a moment, picked up the bow, and demonstrated it again. "Sorry, I still think we can't gamble with luck..."
This time, Jiang Baili hit the bullseye again.
Both arrows landed right on the bullseye, pressed tightly together.
Suddenly someone noticed something: "Ah, Xie Li must have missed the target just now. Look, she shot another arrow earlier, but there's only one arrow on the target now."
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that Xie Li had shot two arrows, but there was only one arrow on the target. What else could it be but a miss?
Someone who's never done shooting before thinks they're a genius just because they hit the bullseye on their first try? But reality slaps them in the face; they still miss the target!
Jiang Baili hadn't expected such a reversal. Staring at Xie Li's target, she couldn't help but smile for a moment.
However, she quickly suppressed her smile and gently comforted Xie Li, "It's okay, everyone is like this the first time, you'll get better with practice."
When I turned around, I saw Xie Li being dragged away by Su Ying.
To others, this behavior would appear as a sign of guilt, prompting them to quickly hide.
Ming Xiaoxiao regained her confidence. She was starting to get into the swing of things and believed that with steady progress, she would soon be able to hit the target.
Su Ying pulled Xie Li away, mainly because she didn't want to watch Jiang Baili perform there, so she made an excuse to get a drink of water.
As soon as the two returned, someone laughed and said, "Xie Li, why don't you shoot another arrow for us to see?"
Xie Li casually sat down in the nearby rest area and refused, "No, you guys go ahead and shoot."
The people around exchanged glances, their eyes subtly filled with disdain.
Just now, Shen Wanwan and her group of girls almost got into a fight with them in order to defend Xie Li. They all seem to be under a spell, acting absentmindedly every day.
So this is the kind of deity they're protecting?
The girls who had previously surveyed everyone's tastes came back, calculated the prices, and felt somewhat sorry for Jiang Baili.
I spent over ten thousand yuan to treat them to a meal, but these people don't know how to be grateful. They only care about protecting Xie Li.
Her eyes darted around, and she said sarcastically, "Xie Li, I heard you got into Linjiang No. 1 High School with the help of Baili's tutoring? You should be the one treating us today! As a disciple, you should share your master's burdens!"
She said it jokingly, handing Xie Li the tallied bill as she spoke, "Thirteen thousand yuan, can you afford it?"
Xie Li frowned. Actually, she didn't mind paying for the meal.
But the woman's tone was really unpleasant...
As if that wasn't enough, the other person continued with a laugh: "I heard you won second prize in the poetry challenge at Wushan Square last night? In your excitement, you spent 20,000 yuan to buy a stone at that shop. I suppose your family is quite wealthy and wouldn't be short of money, would you?"
She spoke cryptically, but Su Ying, who was watching from the sidelines, understood.
This is a deliberate implication that Xie Li won the poetry challenge because he was willing to spend money to buy a broken stone and be ripped off, and that he might become a VIP customer of the store as a favor.
