"That archery is what she practiced at the martial arts gym, right?"
"How long has she been gone?"
The servant immediately told the news he had heard: "Sir, Chen Wei has been training in the martial arts hall for more than twenty days."
"Less than a month? How could she draw the bow to its full length?" Upon hearing this, Master Dong looked up and frowned in surprise.
The bows used in the martial arts school are all heavy bows, and the apprentices practice them in order to shoot wild beasts and kill strong enemies.
Each bow has a starting draw weight of forty pounds.
Forty pounds, when converted to kilograms, weighs a good thirty-six or thirty-seven kilograms. How could a woman from a wealthy family pull a forty-pound bow with her bare hands? And she had to pull and practice until she hit the target.
Mr. Dong simply couldn't understand it.
Since he himself couldn't do it, of course he would firmly believe that Chen Wei couldn't do it either.
Thinking of this, Master Dong narrowed his gloomy eyes and shook his head in denial, saying, "That's impossible. I guess she was so scared at the time that her potential exploded, and that's why she shot that arrow."
"How could she achieve this in just twenty days?"
"It seems I overestimated her. I thought it would take some effort to teach her a lesson, but now it seems to be easy! She ruined my good deeds, so this time she will learn a lesson!"
"After this lesson, I wonder if she dares to interfere in my affairs again!"
"Well, go find Lord Xie at your workplace and tell him... Then go to the martial arts gym and find someone more reliable this time. Okay, then do this... Remember?"
"Go ahead."
After hearing Master Dong's instructions, the servant immediately hurried out of the house.
Not long after.
Xie Yuchuan, who was on duty, heard a shocking piece of news.
No one knew what he heard, but his blood rushed to his head and his face turned pale and blue. He immediately rushed outside without caring about anything, pulled a horse and quickly rushed towards the martial arts hall.
At this time, Chen Wei had been in the martial arts hall for two hours.
A tall and thin male apprentice suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. He was wearing expensive cloth and his hair was combed meticulously. He must have paid great attention to his appearance.
As soon as the male apprentice entered the room, he solemnly called out to Shopkeeper Wu: "Shopkeeper, there's an incident in the east room. Ah San was practicing swordsmanship with someone and accidentally failed to dodge and was hit."
"There's a lot of blood. Go and take a look."
"What?" Shopkeeper Wu was shocked. He had already given instructions, so how could he be so careless? "Is it serious?"
"I just saw a lot of blood, and I'm afraid it's a serious problem."
When Manager Wu heard this, his face turned pale.
If someone gets killed in this small martial arts school of his, it would be the end of it.
He quickly put down what he was holding and prepared to go take a look. Before leaving, he gave Shen Wei some instructions: "Girl, you should practice today. Hit the target at 80 meters and use hidden energy to generate force. I know all the techniques..."
"Boss, I'm good at archery. Let me teach her. You go quickly." The male apprentice suggested to Boss Wu with kindness in his eyes.
Manager Wu looked at Chen Wei who was concentrating on practicing archery.
He looked at the male apprentice again.
This apprentice has a good family background and seems to have decent character. Normally, the son of an official family would not condescend to come here, but it's a pity that he is just a bastard born to a prostitute.
His status is too low and he is not favored.
This guy is good at archery and has been in the martial arts school for three or four years.
Chen Wei learns quickly, but his foundation is still unstable. If Ah San's injury is serious, he is afraid that he will not be able to return for a while. Thinking of this, Manager Wu nodded and said, "Okay, you can guide her well."
"Be careful, she's a girl after all, don't spread any bad rumors."
The male apprentice was very serious in teaching the methods at the beginning.
Just stand by and give pointers on movements and any mistakes.
But as I teach...
He inexplicably started making physical contact. When he saw that Chen Wei was not shooting accurately or his posture was wrong, he would straighten Chen Wei's shoulders and say with a smile: "Don't look at me, look at the target."
Chen Wei: “….”
She looked at the male apprentice deeply and always felt that the other party looked at her strangely, but she was not sure if she was overthinking it.
So she just gave him a warning look, stepped back a little, and drew her bow again.
"You've been here for almost a month, right?"
"I see you training so hard every day. I don't know what your husband is thinking. He's so uncaring. If I were him, I would definitely keep you well-maintained in the yard and make you a beautiful woman."
"Then I'll provide you with good food and drink, and every day you can lie in the yard, enjoy the breeze, and look at the scenery. I'll protect your life of prosperity and wealth."
"Look at your hands, they're so tender. You can tell you haven't suffered any hardship. You should be touching handkerchiefs and jewelry, not knives and arrows. These vulgar things are not worthy of your touch."
Shen Wei: “???”
The male apprentice said something inexplicably that Chen Wei couldn't understand, then sighed and said, "The shop recently sold a set of jewelry. It's a pity that I don't have a wife at home, so even if I bought it, I can't give it away."
"Young lady, your husband is so unkind and uncaring. You might as well follow me. My family is quite powerful. Although I am not the legitimate son, I am fostered under the mistress's name."
"I've been attracted to you since the first moment I saw you. Instead of suffering here, why not come with me and enjoy wealth and glory?"
Shen Wei confirmed.
I'm not overthinking it.
But that’s what this male apprentice meant!
Seeing Chen Wei looking at him coldly, the male apprentice not only did not flinch, but instead chuckled with some contempt. How could he, a man, not be able to handle a little woman?
