The two consecutive arrows hit the bull’s eye, causing Juan Bi to applaud warmly.

Clap, clap, clap!

Juan Bi clapped excitedly and cheered. “My Lady, you won again!”

“You hit three arrows in a row. Your archery skills aren’t inferior to the Eldest Young Master’s.”

The arrow that hit the bull’s eye shook the target and attracted the cat. It excitedly scratched the white feather on the tail of the arrow, making a clicking sound.

Not far behind, a young man in a royal blue lapel jacket strolled into the martial arts arena from the entrance with a long bow. He pursed his lips tightly and his handsome face was tense as he looked at Gu Yanfei with a deep gaze.

Juan Bi saw him first and curtsied. “Second Young Master.”

The person who came was Gu Jian and the eldest son of the Wang family, Gu Xiao, the second son of the Marquis Mansion.

“Why are you here?” Gu Xiao had his hands behind his back and was holding a long bow. He walked arrogantly in Gu Yanfei’s direction and said coldly, “Go away. Who said you can use this martial arts arena?!”

Gu Xiao’s eyes were bright and sharp. When he looked at Gu Yanfei, he didn’t hide the disgust in his expression.

Ever since his second cousin returned to the residence, she had caused chaos in the residence. In the past three months, she hadn’t stopped.

Gu Yanfei held the bull-horn bow in one hand and said with a faint smile, “If I remember correctly, this martial arts arena was built by my late father back then. Why can’t I use it?”

She casually pulled the bowstring. The bowstring buzzed, as if demonstrating and provoking.

“Eldest Uncle didn’t repair this martial arts arena with the money from the Marquis Mansion!” Gu Xiao raised his neck self-righteously and took another step closer to Gu Yanfei.

Gu Xiao was a year younger than Gu Yanfei. The two of them were the same height. When their eyes met, there seemed to be sparks flying and swords were drawn.

“Eldest Uncle is a traitor. He’s not worthy of being a member of the Gu family at all. If not for my father, this Marquis Mansion would have been lost long ago. Now, this Marquis Mansion belongs to my father.” When he mentioned Gu Ce, Gu Xiao curled his lips in disdain and glared at Gu Yanfei arrogantly. “It’s my father’s kindness. Otherwise, he would have chased Big Brother and you out long ago.”

The young man’s eyes ignited with burning flames. His voice became sharper and more indignant.

Last time, his eldest cousin, Gu Yuan, hurt his father. After that, not only did he not feel guilty at all, but he even left in front of the guests, embarrassing him!

If the Dingyuan Marquis Household didn’t have the eldest brother and sister, the residence would be much more peaceful!

“It’s hard to say who will chase who out!” Gu Yanfei tilted her head and looked at Gu Xiao. There was a smile on her lips, and her eyes were deep.

A moment ago, she was still smiling. A moment later, her face stiffened, and she spat out a word coldly. “Scram.”

She drew an arrow from the quiver, nocked it, and drew the bow skillfully.

In a breath, the arrow left the bow.

“Swoosh!”

The arrow brushed past Gu Xiao’s check like lightning, and the strong wind blew a strand of his hair…

Gu Xiao stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Before he could react, the arrow had already accurately hit the target behind him.

The third arrow hit the bull’s eye again. It was steady, accurate, and ruthless.

“Are… are you crazy?!” Gu Xiao was shocked by this sudden arrow. His chest heaved violently. He raised his hand to touch his cheek and felt that the place where the arrow had brushed past was burning.

The young man was shocked and furious. A wave of anger rushed to his head, burning him until he lost all rationality.

He suddenly took two steps forward, raised his right arm, and slapped Gu Yanfei, planning to teach this wild girl a lesson.

However, his palm stopped a foot away from Gu Yanfei. His right wrist was grabbed tightly. The girl’s fingers were slender, but they were as strong as iron pincers. It was so painful that his face twisted.

Gu Xiao kicked Gu Yanfei’s calf again, but Gu Yanfei’s reaction was even faster. He grabbed Gu Xiao’s right wrist and pulled his arm behind him. At the same time, he kicked Gu Xiao’s calf.

This kick really hurt.

Gu Xiao let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered and knelt on one knee in a sorry state. A few strands of her originally neatly combed hair had also scattered.

“Gu, Yan, Fei!”

His forehead was already covered in cold sweat. He looked up at Gu Yanfei with a trace of resentment in his eyes. However, he saw Gu Yanfei draw another arrow from the quiver and slowly nock it to the bow again.

The arrow was aimed at Gu Xiao.

The girl looked down at Gu Xiao, who was kneeling on one knee. Her tone was extremely cold and arrogant. “I’ll say this today. This Marquis Mansion belongs to our eldest branch. It belongs to my brother.”

“So is this title!”

She pulled the bowstring to the full and drew it like a full moon…

The sharp tip of the arrow flashed with a chilling light in the sunlight.

Gu Xiao’s pupils constricted as he took two steps back.

He flicked his sleeves heavily and said, “Only women and villains are difficult to raise.” He walked out of the martial arts arena quickly in a huff, looking like he was fleeing.

“Meow! Meow!”

The cat cheered for Gu Yanfei by the target and felt that its master had some of its elegance.

Gu Yanfei maintained the posture of drawing the bow and slightly changed the direction of the bow in her hand. A sharp glint flashed across her eyes as she decisively released the bowstring.

A series of movements were carried out with ease.

The arrow left the bow again and shot accurately into another target not far away.

This time, Juan Bi couldn’t smile anymore. She said slowly, “My Lady, Second Young Master will complain, right?”

Gu Yanfei rubbed the bow in her hand and a meaningful smile appeared on her face. She casually glanced at the exit of the martial arts arena.

Of course he had to tell his father! Gu Xiao, who had been hiding outside the martial arts arena, thought mockingly. He touched the long bow in his hand with a gloomy expression.

Wasn’t it too cowardly to leave just like that? He had to teach her a lesson.

Gu Xiao drew an arrow, nocked an arrow, and drew a bow. The tip of the arrow was aimed at Gu Yanfei’s bun from behind a bush… He began to imagine how she would be so frightened that her face would turn pale and tears would flow.

In the next moment, Gu Yanfei’s cold voice sounded again in the martial arts arena. “Big Brother has contributed to Feng He’s death. The Eldest Prince promised that he would definitely let Big Brother have his wish.”

What did she mean?! Gu Xiao’s heart beat faster, and the bowstring slowly relaxed, her eyes filled with surprise..
