Ling Xiang made a prompt decision: "Notify everyone and immediately do a headcount!"
After an inventory, they found that Xiaoyu was not the only one missing. Maids or guards were missing from almost every courtyard of the Marquis Zhenguo's Mansion!
"This matter must not be made public. Everyone should be vigilant. Do everything in pairs. Don't be alone." Ling Xiang turned and walked back to the room. She quickly changed her clothes and came out.
"Prepare a carriage for me. I want to go to the Prince Qin's Mansion to study."
"Miss, you are suspicious..." Feng Xiaoyun immediately stopped her, "No! Miss, it's too dangerous, you can't go!"
"I won't let anyone bully the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion!" Ling Xiang hurried out of the mansion: "When I'm away, I'll have to ask Aunt Yun for the safety of the mansion. If I don't come back today, send someone to Shuntian Mansion to report the case."
Feng Xiaoyun was very worried: "It's enough to have Boss Lian in the mansion. If the young lady insists on going, take me with you!"
Ling Xiang said firmly: "Aunt Yun, you have to trust me! The safety of the mansion is in your hands."
The gates of the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion were opened just after being closed for a day. Ling Xiang walked out openly and before getting on the carriage, he waved goodbye loudly to the people in the mansion: "I'm going to the Qinwang Mansion to study. Everyone stay in the mansion and don't be lazy!"
"Yes, sir!" Feng Xiaoyun and his men said goodbye to Ling Xiang.
Without Xiaoyu accompanying him, only Mu Heng was driving the carriage. The young boy's face was full of worry: "Miss, Xiaoyu..."
"She'll be fine!" Ling Xiang tried to calm herself down. "Call me when you get there."
She sinks her consciousness into the space, harvesting, sowing and watering every day.
After finishing these things and looking at the space full of harvests, her heart became much calmer.
She had promised Xiaoyu that she would make her a powerful maid, but the promise had not been fulfilled yet. Instead, Xiaoyu was knocked unconscious several times, frightened for no reason, and now she was kidnapped.
This damn Nangong Yu!
Ling Xiang had not been to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to study for many days. Her sudden arrival surprised the guards of the Prince of Qin's Mansion. They immediately invited her in and notified the Prince of Qin and the eldest princess.
Nangong Yu's calm face showed a hint of surprise, but then he returned to his indifferent expression, "Tell Miss Ling that there is a horse riding and archery class this morning, so ask her to change her clothes before coming."
Ling Xiang's expression didn't change much. She went to Hongfeng Courtyard to change her clothes.
The fiery red riding harness and her fearless pace made her look quite imposing.
Xuanyuan Qi had been attending classes at the Prince of Qin's mansion every day recently. Today, he finally saw Ling Xiang and asked casually, "Why don't I see your little maid?"
"Xiaoyu was frightened yesterday, so I gave her the day off." Ling Xiang saluted Nangong Yu and Xuanyuan Qi without even glancing at them. Instead, she nodded to Gao Zhenzhen and then greeted the two gentlemen.
"Ling Xiang has met Mr. Xiang and Mr. Liu."
Xiang Lesheng, who teaches equestrianism, and Liu Yongzhi, who teaches riding, both have a good impression of Ling Xiang, and they are very happy to see her come back to class.
Today was the horseback archery competition. Sagara-sama made a hand gesture, and immediately many balls of varying sizes appeared on the field, each moving in an irregular pattern.
"Today's competition is shooting. Whoever scores the most points within the allotted time wins. There are three types of balls on the field, each as hard as fine iron. The smaller the ball, the higher the score. If the force of the shot isn't enough to make the ball disappear, no points are awarded."
Thinking that Ling Xiang had missed so many classes, Xiang Lesheng said with concern: "Ms. Ling, you don't have to attend. I will arrange separate lessons for you."
"Yes, Miss Ling, the competition venue is so dangerous, it's better not to go. If you study outside, I can accompany you." Gao Zhenzhen followed and advised.
Ling Xiang looked at the ball flying in the air and said firmly, "Thank you Mr. Xiang and Miss Gao for your kindness, but I think I can give it a try."
"Then you better be careful and don't get accidentally hurt by arrows." Sagara Sei warned and then announced the start of the competition.
"Come on, Your Highness!" Gao Zhenzhen straightened Nangong Yu's collar.
This behavior was obviously inappropriate in front of Ling Xiang, his fiancée.
But Ling Xiang looked straight ahead, as if he hadn't seen it, without a trace of emotion on his face.
Nangong Yu entered the arena first, followed by Xuanyuan Qi, and Ling Xiang also entered the arena by kicking the horse's belly.
"Miss Ling, be careful!" Gao Zhenzhen waved her hand, waiting to see Ling Xiang make a fool of herself. It would be best if she could be shot. It would be great if she could be injured or something.
As soon as Ling Xiang entered, he could feel the fluctuation of spiritual power in the field. Every ball was transformed by spiritual power. In order to hit them and make them disappear, besides using spiritual power, he could only use more strength.
Nangong Yu already knew that Ling Xiang was a cultivator, so there was no point in hiding it any further.
She took out the crossbow she had drawn and had someone make it for her, and she put the arrow on it and drew the bow in one go.
With the infusion of spiritual power, the crossbow arrow seemed to be injected with infinite power and shot into a large ball at a high speed.
The big ball disappeared, and Ling Xiang's score was immediately displayed on the scoreboard: 1 point.
On the other hand, Nangong Yu did not use arrows, but directly transformed his spiritual power into arrows and hit several balls in succession. In just less than a minute, his score was far ahead of others - 12 points.
Looking at Xuanyuan Qi again, although he was a good horseman, he was not good at archery. He mustered up all his strength to shoot two arrows, but both of them hit the ground directly - 0 points.
Xuanyuan Qi himself did not feel embarrassed at all. He continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows, once again setting a record of every arrow missing the target.
Ling Xiang concentrated all his attention and found the right ball. The arrow flew out and hit the target accurately, scoring another 2 points.
Then, in the surprised eyes of the two teachers, Ling Xiang shot the ball with the third arrow and scored another three points.
"This Miss Ling is not only a cultivator, but also a great archer?" Xiang Lesheng bumped Liu Yongzhi's arm.
"Miss Ling came to take an archery class before, but she didn't show any spiritual power. She learned archery on the spot. It hasn't been long since then, and I'm surprised that her archery skills are so powerful." Liu Yongzhi praised.
"She's a good rider too, she's a promising youngster!" Xiang Lesheng nodded repeatedly. "No wonder she's the Princess of Qin. It's a real honor for us to be able to teach such a student."
"Yes." Liu Yongzhi agreed.
After shooting three arrows in a row, Ling Xiang stopped and looked at the scoreboard.
She scored 6 points, Xuanyuan Qi scored 0 points, and Nangong Yu already had 35 points.
Ling Xiang had a very expressionless face. He loaded the crossbow with an arrow, aimed at Nangong Yu, and shot an arrow at high speed.
"Ah!" Gao Zhenzhen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly reminded: "Your Highness, be careful!"
Xiang Lesheng and Liu Yongzhi were also ready to block the arrows at any time.
Nangong Yu noticed Ling Xiang's aim at him the moment he was targeted, but he acted as if he didn't notice it. Not only did he not dodge, he used his spiritual power to create two arrows and shot them at the two balls at the same time.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
The three balls disappeared almost at the same time, and Nangong Yu scored another 6 points. Ling Xiang's arrow passed by Nangong Yu's ear and hit a small ball directly, scoring 3 points.
After shooting another arrow into the air, Xuanyuan Qi impatiently put away his bow and arrow, clasped his hands together, stood there, and turned to watch the other two perform.
