Chapter 57 Instant Kill
"That's the archery she practiced in the martial arts gym, right?"
"How long has she been gone?"
The servant immediately told the news he had heard: "Sir, Shen Wei has been training in the martial arts hall for more than 20 days."
"Less than a month? How could she pull 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 with the intention of shooting wild beasts and killing strong enemies.
The draw weight of each bow starts at forty pounds.
Forty pounds is equivalent to thirty-six or thirty-seven pounds. How can a woman from a wealthy family pull a forty-pound bow with her bare hands? And she has to keep pulling and practicing until she hits the target.
Mr. Dong simply couldn't understand it.
Since he himself couldn't do it, of course he would be certain that Shen Wei couldn't do it either.
Thinking of this, Master Dong narrowed his gloomy eyes, shook his head and denied it: "This is impossible. I guess she was too scared at the time, so her potential burst out and she shot that arrow."
"How could she achieve this in just over twenty days?"
"It seems that 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 I will teach her a lesson this time!"
"After this lesson, I wonder if she dares to interfere in my affairs again!"
"Well, you go to your workplace to find Lord Xie and tell him... Then you go to the martial arts hall and find someone more reliable this time. Right, and then do this... Remember?"
"Go."
After hearing Master Dong's instructions, the servant immediately hurried out of the house.
It didn't take long.
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, Shen Wei had been in the martial arts hall for two hours.
A tall and thin male apprentice suddenly pushed the door open. He was wearing expensive cloth and his hair was neatly combed. He must have paid great attention to his appearance.
As soon as the male apprentice entered the room, he called the shopkeeper Wu away with a serious look on his face: "Shopkeeper, something happened in the east room. When Ah San was practicing swordsmanship with someone, he 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 told them, so how could they be so careless? "Is it serious?"
"I just saw a lot of blood. I'm afraid it's a serious problem."
When Shopkeeper 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 strength. 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 Shen 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 is 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.
Shen Wei learns quickly, but his foundation is still not stable. If Ah San's injury is serious, he is afraid that he will not be able to come back for a while. Thinking of this, Manager Wu nodded and said, "Okay, you can guide her well."
"Be careful, she is 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, I teach......
He inexplicably started physical contact, and when he saw Shen Wei's shooting was not accurate or his posture was wrong, he straightened Shen Wei's shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't look at me, look at the target."
Shen Wei: "......"
She looked at the male apprentice deeply and always felt that the other party looked at her strangely, but she was not sure whether 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 practicing so hard every day. I don't know what your husband is thinking. He is so uncaring. If I were him, I would definitely keep you in the yard and make you a beautiful woman."
"Then I will provide you with good food and drink, and you can lie in the yard every day to enjoy the breeze and the scenery. I will protect you for a lifetime of wealth and prosperity."
"Look at your hands, they are so tender. You can tell you have never suffered any hardship. You should touch silk handkerchiefs and jewelry instead of knives and arrows. These vulgar things are not worthy of being touched by you."
Shen Wei: "???"
The male apprentice said something inexplicably that Shen Wei couldn't understand, and then sighed, "The shop recently sold a set of jewelry. It's a pity that I don't have a wife at home, so I can't give it away even if I buy it."
"Young lady, your husband is so unkind and uncaring, why don't you follow me? My family is also a little powerful. Although I am not the legitimate son, I am also fostered under the name of the mistress."
"I was attracted to you from the first moment I saw you. Instead of suffering here, why not come with me and enjoy the wealth and honor?"
Shen Wei confirmed.
I'm not overthinking it.
But that’s what this male apprentice meant!
When the male apprentice saw Shen Wei looking at him coldly, he did not flinch but laughed with some contempt. How could he, a man, not be able to deal with a little girl?
It was at this time that
The sound of horse hooves was heard outside the martial arts hall, as if someone was rushing in in a hurry.
The male apprentice remembered Master Dong's instructions, and immediately walked towards Shen Wei, opening his hands and saying unpleasant words: "Girl, I really miss you so much..."
Shen Wei stood there expressionlessly looking at him, watching him open his arms and hug her.
She has always practiced side kicks.
My thigh muscles are cramping now.
Stand still with your left leg, and accumulate strength in your right foot.
ready!
"After our romantic encounter at Linghuang Temple the day before yesterday, I have been thinking about you. If you hadn't said that the mansion was too strict with you, I would have stayed with you for a few more days and loved you well."
"Manager Wu has been sent away by me. There are only two of us here. Can we..."
The male apprentice approached Shen Wei, wanting to hug her and get close to her.
Simultaneously.
Xie Yuchuan also kicked open the door of the martial arts hall. His mind was full of rumors he had heard from his subordinates. He was so angry! He looked towards the archery range with blazing eyes!
He heard the male apprentice say that Shen Wei had been away from home for three days. Was he having a secret meeting outside?
He saw Shen Wei standing still, welcoming the male apprentice's embrace?
and so!
Are those rumors true?!
Shen Wei has been so cold to him these days. Does she have a man outside?
How can this be tolerated!!
"Shen, Wei!! What on earth are you doing?!"
"Wow—"
“Bang! Ah!!”
Three voices sounded at the same time.
