The Rebirth of the Empress

Dare to Kill

In the huge Yan Bei Tang, there was a moment of silence.

The young woman's back was straight. Although his stature was petite, but it was as if it contained boundless power. As for his movements, it was as if everything was under his feet.

Cai Lin was silent for a moment.

What Shen Miao said was not wrong. To shoot each other like this, the most dangerous person is him. This was due to Shen Miao's lack of archery skills and if it diverged slightly, perhaps the arrow would pierce through his skull. But how would Cai Lin think that much? He thought about it very simply, as long as he chose archery, with Shen Miao's temper, he would definitely be so scared that his legs would feel weak and beg for mercy on him as his tears flowed. He would then play with Shen Miao for one round and with that, Shen Miao's face would disappear and he could help Shen Yue to vent his frustration.

As for the things after that, Cai Lin had not thought about it yet. In his mind, Shen Miao would naturally be terrified and how would he have the energy to shoot an arrow at him? Moreover, for a woman who had never even drawn a bow before, she would not even be able to draw a bow completely and would only embarrass herself.

Cai Lin thought so but he missed Shen Miao's reaction. He just looked at her calmly and such calmness was not like his age, which made Cai Lin feel angry. Shen Miao's eyes were as if he was watching a child perform an act, pitiful but ridiculous.

Since she was at the most impulsive age, Cai Ling spoke without a word, “What dare I not do? Life and death agreement then life and death agreement!”

“Ai!” Cai Daren who was on the male side of the banquet sighed. He hated that he could not rush and beat up this unfilial son. Previously Cai Lin was only mischievous, but Cai Daren did not think that his son would actually choose Shen Miao. With regards to the life and death agreement, Cai Daren did not worry about the safety of his son but was just afraid that Cai Lin would really make Shen Miao lose face or cause injury to him. Not everyone was able to fight against Shen Xin, the old brute.

Shen Yue anxiously said, “Why did Fifth Sister make a life and death pact? This is just an academy examination, why would one have to go that far? This can't be done.”

"Yes. Why doesn't Fifth Miss make sense?” Ren Wan Yun frowned, “How can one say such words at a moment of emotion. What if something happens?”

He did mention that it was Cai Lin who forced Shen Miao to make this choice and only related it to Shen Miao's hasty actions because she felt aggrieved. Chen Rou Qiu shook his head and gently sighed, "In the end, his desire to win is stronger."

For them to be this 'careful' and 'anxious' for Shen Miao, there was naturally no lack of interest in the male side of the banquet.

Prince Yu of the first rank continued to stare straight at the purple-clothed young lady as his muddy eyes emitted interest. It was as if a savage beast had found its prey and its gaze made one feel nauseous.

"Shen's Young Miss is really stupid." Prince Zhou firmly said, “Even to sign a life-and-death agreement. He did not know that when he did that, if something went wrong, Shen Xin would not be able to raise this matter?”

“Most likely it is to maintain the reputation of the Shen.” family Fu XiuYi looked at Shen Miao on stage and said, "After all, no one wants to listen to negative words about his own family."

“Unfortunately this will not change the facts at all.” Prince Jing shook his head, “He's too impulsive. No wonder he is called stupid and stupid.”

Pei Lang picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He also felt that Shen Miao's actions were too impulsive. Although he knew that Prince Jing's words were actually too exaggerated, if Shen Miao thought for the sake of the Shen family, then he should have thought of a way to retreat without hurting. Although this would still be talked about, it was still better than fooling himself in public.

"Dad, he'll win." Su Ming Lang clenched his hands to represent his own position to his father.

Master Su looked at his youngest son. He did not know why but he felt that Su Ming Lang was paying special attention to Shen Miao. Master Su thought that it was most likely that he had accidentally entered Su Ming Lang's eyes. Ever since the last time Su Ming Lang reminded him to withdraw from the strong current, Master Su treated his younger son more kindly. Today he also did not want to erase the mood of his younger son, so he vaguely followed his words, "Right, he will definitely win."

Su MingFeng did not know about the attitude of Su MingLang and Master Su. If he knew, he would definitely mock them because he was currently sitting in the pavilion and inevitably spoke while looking towards the academy's examination stage, “The Young Miss of the Shen family actually dared to even make a life-and-death agreement. Could it be that General Shen spoke about the matter of the army to him and he thought that this was an army competition? This is too unreasonable.”

Su MingFeng never covered his words while talking to his good friend but this time he did not hear the words of his most intelligent friend and thus could not help but look at others.

The purple-clothed youth took the Begonia in his hand and pondered. The sun shone right, with a gentle breeze blowing a tassel on his dagger and coupled with his handsome eyebrows, his face thinking of making one******** that he was a peerless man.

Xie Jing Xing put Begonia on her clothes and suddenly stood up with a smile on her lips, “Interesting. How about we bet?”

“What kind of bet?”

“Let's bet–” Xie Jing Xing points to the stage and smiles casually, “Who will win?”

"Of course it's Cai Lin." Su MingFeng frowned, "Could you think otherwise?"

“I'm sure Shen Miao will win.” She said.

Preparation begins on stage.

Archery, today's military topic is enough to attract everyone's attention. But this was not a challenge in the academy examination but it was definitely a gamble of one's life.

Guang Wen Tang had indeed let them sign a life and death agreement and the red words on the white cloth were extremely eye-catching. Shen Miao took a brush to write his name and he wrote it in an elegant manner naturally as if he did not care about the importance of this thing.

That's of course. He has written his name many times. When Fu XiuYi wrote a letter of surrender to Xiong Nu, when he was a hostage in the Qin state, when Wan Yu was married, when the Crown Prince was abolished... Those two words, Shen Miao, symbolized blood and tears. Suffering and difficulty in those two words was something that no one could understand.

Instead, Cai Lin was not easy.

Although one would feel the most powerful during their youth, but after all this was the first time he signed such a life and death covenant. Cai Lin was just a child who was very protected by his family and was not yet mature enough. When Shen Miao was this calm, the fear in her heart grew.

Under the heavy brushes, he wrote them painstakingly and his name became slanted, displaying a huge contrast compared to Shen Miao's name.

After writing, he couldn't help but ask, “Shen Miao, aren't you afraid I'll shoot tilting during the first round? If I'm afraid you shot me in the second round, I can naturally injure you in the first round. ”

Shen Miao was about to pluck the fruit when he heard those words. He turned around and looked at Cai Lin, “Did Mr Cai think like this? However, I disagree.”

He continued, “Everyone knows that Mr. Cai's archery skills are amazing and if not intentional, it will never miss. That means Mr. Cai had the intention to kill me but to me it was the opposite. Everyone knows that I am stupid in archery and if the target is not shot, it makes sense.”

Cai Lin was startled for a moment before she was dumbfounded and waves of helplessness surged in her heart.

Exactly it. If he shot him on tilt, it would be intentional but if Shen Miao shot him on tilt, it was natural. He couldn't even miss it because. Everyone would be able to see that it was intentional!

He had Shen Miao caught between two difficult situations and Shen Miao immediately returned one situation to him.

No matter what, it will still be wrong.

“To avoid being shot by me in the second round, Gentleman Cai could kill me furiously in the first round. Since the life-and-death agreement has been signed, when you kill me, it will only signify the end of the challenge and other than the saliva of the entire world, there will be no responsibility to bear

"I'm right here. Do you dare to kill?"
