Chapter 57: Do You Dare to Kill Me? (2)
Su Mingfeng did not know Su Minglang and Mr. Su’s attitude. If he knew, he would definitely sneer at them. This was because at this moment, he was sitting in the pavilion and looking at the test platform from afar. He could not help but say, “Miss Shen is really bold. She even signed a life and death contract. Is it because General Shen always tells her about what happened in the military camp that she thinks she is a soldier too? She’s too stupid.”
Su Mingfeng never tried to hold back anything when he spoke to his best friend, but today, he did not hear his best friend agree. He could not help but look back at him.
The young man in purple held the begonia in his hand and tilted his head to the side in deep thought. The sunlight was just right, and the breeze made the tassel on his dagger flutter slightly. His face was handsome and resembled a hero.
“Xie, what are you thinking about?” Su Mingfeng couldn’t help but ask.
Xie Jingxing suddenly stood up with a smile. “Interesting. How about we make a bet?”
“What bet?”
“Let’s bet—” Xie Jingxing pointed at the stage and smiled. “Who will win?”
“Of course, Cai Lin will win.” Su Mingfeng frowned. “Do you think there’s another possibility?”
“I bet Shen Miao will win,” he said.
The preparations were already underway on the stage.
The Guangwen Hall really got someone to make a death contract. The blood-colored handwriting on the snow-white piece of paper was especially eye-catching. Shen Miao wrote her name, looking like she was certain to win.
When she wrote the surrender letter for Fu Xiuyi to the Xiongnu, when she willingly became a hostage of the State of Qin, when Wanyu got married, when the crown prince was deposed… Shen Miao had signed a death contract countless times. No one could understand the suffering she went through.
In contrast, Cai Lin was not so relaxed.
This was the first time he had signed a life and death contract. Cai Lin was just a child who was protected too well by his family and was not even mature enough. Shen Miao’s calmness made him even more afraid.
The pen weighed more than 500 kilograms. It was difficult for him to put down his name, and his handwriting was crooked, forming a sharp contrast with Shen Miao’s name.
After writing, he couldn’t help but ask, “Shen Miao, aren’t you afraid that I’ll miss in the first round? If I’m afraid that you’ll shoot me in the second round, I can naturally shoot you to death in the first round.”
Shen Miao was about to get the apple when she turned around and stared at Cai Lin. “Young Master Cai, you thought so? I don’t think that way.”
She continued, “Everyone knows that Young Master Cai is an excellent marksman. If you miss, it definitely won’t be an accident. It can only be done on purpose. Everyone knows that I know nothing about archery. It’s understandable if I miss my mark.”
Cai Lin was stunned for a moment, looking at Shen Miao dumbfoundedly. He was suddenly overwhelmed by hopelessness.
Yes, if he missed, people would think he did it on purpose, but if Shen Miao missed, it was only natural.
He thought he was pushing Shen Miao to the edge of the cliff, but he didn’t know that he was on the edge too.
It was all wrong.
“In order to avoid being shot by me in the second round, Young Master Cai can naturally kill me in the first round. The life and death contract is set. If you kill me, it will only be the outcome of the competition. You don’t have to take any responsibility other than being despised by the entire world.”
“Now I give you a chance to kill me, do you dare?”
