When he bowed to Gu Linchao, he was absent-minded, his eyes uncontrollably glancing at Wen Nongnong.
What a beautiful woman!
Gu Linchao's handsome face suddenly turned cold, his brows furrowed with a gloomy atmosphere as if a storm was brewing.
He scanned the entire room with his gaze, and then, in front of everyone, he took Wen Nongnong's hand in his palm, silently declaring that Wen Nongnong belonged to him.
Wen Nong Nong looked at him in surprise.
This guy is always very proper and never oversteps the bounds in front of outsiders, but this time...
She bit her lip, looked down at his large hand that was tightly holding hers, and felt a sweet warmth rise in her heart.
She had never seen Gu Linchao so domineering before.
However, she likes it.
Those whose gaze swept over him felt a chill and quickly lowered their heads, no longer daring to look around.
"There's still some time before the official competition. You all need to run three laps around the training ground first, so I can see your foundation." Gu Linchao's voice was as cold as frost.
The officials secretly wiped away their sweat, inwardly cursing these contestants. They were truly courting death; how could they possibly be allowed to look at the Regent's Consort so casually? And now they were forced to bear immense pressure from the Regent.
Upon hearing this, the contestants were all stunned, their expressions changing repeatedly.
Although archery was the relatively easier of the three tests today, they still had to run three laps around the training ground before the competition. The training ground is so big, isn't that going to exhaust them? How will they have the energy to aim at the target then?
But since the regent had spoken, no one dared to object.
As the chief examiner today, who would dare offend the Regent?
Standing with the other contestants, Wen Tingyun cursed them in her heart.
They're all lustful idiots. Gu Linchao was standing there, and he still dared to look at his little sister. Wasn't he just asking for death?
Thinking it over, he stepped out of the line and bowed to Gu Linchao with his hands clasped, saying, "Your Majesty, I suddenly have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet."
Gu Linchao glanced at him and nodded. "Permission granted."
Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit, saying, "Your Majesty, it is also..."
"Those who haven't even started running yet, run one more lap." Gu Linchao interrupted them with a cold expression.
Those men reluctantly shut their mouths and had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and go for a run.
However, they all wondered to themselves why that kid was so lucky; the Regent granted his request without even thinking about it.
Wen Tingyun escaped a disaster, but instead of going to the latrine, she exchanged glances with Wen Nongnong and then walked towards the woods not far away.
Wen Nongnong tugged at Gu Linchao's sleeve and whispered, "Your Highness, I need to use the restroom."
Gu Linchao had already noticed the subtle exchange between the brother and sister, and upon hearing this, he cautioned, "Be careful."
"Understood," Wen Nongnong replied, and then walked towards the woods.
When she arrived, Wen Tingyun took a stick and squatted down to poke at the ant nest.
As soon as she stood still, several ants helplessly crawled onto the surface of her shoes.
She was startled, jumped up, kicked her feet a few times, and backed away, saying angrily, "Second brother, how could you be so bored? Why did you have to poke at the ant nest?"
"A few ants are all it takes to scare you like this? You're really pathetic!" Wen Tingyun threw down the stick in her hand and said with a sneer.
“Ants can bite, and they can crawl onto your body, which can be very itchy. If you’re not afraid, just stay there and let the ants crawl on you,” Wen Nongnong said, frowning.
Seeing her serious expression, Wen Tingyun stopped teasing her, dropped the stick in his hand, stood up and said, "Alright, alright, I won't play with ants anymore, okay?"
Whether it was psychological or not, Wen Nongnong felt itchy all over, so she stood under a tree nearby to check if there were ants on her skirt.
However, as soon as she stood under the tree, she keenly noticed that there was someone in the tree.
