The Rebirth of the Empress

The Rebirth of the Empress
Third Arrow



On and off the stage, everyone was frozen as if the entire scene was a painting.


The person who broke the painting was Cai Lin. He raised his hand and touched his left cheek. The arrow that had just passed through left a slight trace of deep red blood behind.


Everyone is dumbfounded.


Shen Miao actually dared to shoot and did not let his arrows fall in the middle of the road or intentionally miss. He shot him not far or near the fruit but just swept it right past Cai Lin's cheek.


Cai Lin shouted loudly, "Shen Miao, what are you doing!" His voice barely dissipated as the second arrow was released and shot away leaving behind a light breeze. It was also exactly past his right cheek, not even tilted in the slightest. Cai Lin suddenly felt a fiery burst of pain on his right cheek and when he raised his hand to touch, he was surprised to find there were traces of blood.


He's almost crazy. He looked at Shen Miao in disbelief and even Cai Daren also wanted to stop him but Prince Yu of the First Rank was sitting in front, so he did not dare to move.


Ren Wan Yun suddenly stood up, “Has Fifth Miss gone mad? How could he dare to injure the Young Master of the Cai family?”


"Young Miss Fifth your residence is really strong." Yi Furen pretended to be surprised, “How could an ordinary woman have such courage? To injure the Young Master of the Cai family, weren't the two Shen masters because of this, having a bad relationship with some co-workers?”


These words spoke into the hearts of Ren Wan Yun and Chen Rou Qiu. They had previously thought that only Shen Miao was humiliating himself, and who knew that not only did Shen Miao not embarrass himself, but he also injured Cai Lin. If the Cai family started criticizing the Shen residence for this, since the Cai family took the official line of literature, wouldn't the two brothers, Shen Gui and Shen Wan, be better off after offending the Cai family? Thinking of this, Ren Wan Yun became extremely anxious and wanted to immediately drag Shen Miao into the Cai family to apologize. Just as he wanted to shout to shop for Shen Miao's actions, Chen Rou Qiu's hand pressed him down.


"Sister, what are you doing?" Ren Wan Yun spoke sadly, “Just look at Fifth Miss making trouble? Later when Master asks, who can take this responsibility?”


Chen Rou Qiu practically admired this Second Sao. His identity was much more noble than Ren Wan Yun and boasted of coming from a scientific lineage. So it would not do such a secular act and it certainly did not agree with Ren Wan Yun's idea of stopping this in front of everyone. He said, “Sao Second's thoughts aren't bad, but just now people will also hear that even Prince Yu of the First Rank is also talking. Otherwise, why didn't Master Cai say a word until now and only saw his own son get hurt? Even if Second Sao spoke, could it be decided? Instead, it is better to wait and see and if there are questions, just think of it as children playing around.”


"Don't tell me that someone can only watch as it unfolds?" Ren Wan Yun heart knew that Chen Rou Qiu's words were rational but he could not help but worry, “If Fifth Madam did not know the severity and made a big mess? The life-and-death agreement was one thing but the rumors of capital Ding were another matter in itself.


“What to fear? Didn't you see how Fifth Madam shot? ” Chen Rou Qiu laughed, “He obviously knew how to pull the bow and did it just to drop it and reply. But he should know the seriousness and propriety of this problem, otherwise it is not just a regular scratch on the cheek.” Chen Rou Qi sighed, “However people will be offended and therefore, let nature take its course. If Fifth Young Miss is really cruel, people will be afraid that she will have a reputation of evil and evil.”


The words of the sister-in-law were heard by the two sisters, Shen Qing and Shen Yue, without missing a single word. They were young and did not understand things from the official circles so they only heard the last sentence. Shen Yue looked at Shen Miao who was wearing a wide-sleeved dress and saw her cool and calm today and had created a very hateful uproar. He thought that if Shen Miao shot Cai Lin dead, it would be good. Then Shen Miao had to pay for it with his life. With such a cruel person, who would dare to marry or approach her?


Now this kind of scratch is only strong but not vicious at all.


While thinking of thoughts like this, something flashed in Shen Yue's eyes. The safety of Cai Lin, who with one heart made things difficult for Shen Miao because of him, had been seethed in his mind as he wished for Cai Lin to use his own life to strengthen Shen Miao's evil reputation.


“Shen Miao, what exactly are you trying to do?” Shooting two arrows in a row and scratching his cheeks, making his entire face burn in pain, Cai Lin felt that other than anger towards Shen Miao, there was also a trace of fear. He suddenly discovered that there was nothing Shen Miao dared not do. He was obviously angry, he dared to do anything!


Despite the distance, Shen Miao's voice was slightly faint and did not flow into the audience but was enough to be transmitted to Cai Lin's ears. His voice was light and flowing, as if descending from the clouds and making people not dare to look up.


He said, "Teach you a lesson."


Suddenly Shen Miao raised his voice, "There's still the last arrow!"


Everyone in the arena stared straight at the arrow. Cai Lin's legs were almost soft and he had to bite himself in order not to fall. Because he had seen that Shen Miao's arrow was directed at his head.


He was extremely scared and it was the trauma of the living fear of the Shen family. This kind of fear was so threatening that it attracted all his attention at this moment. He really wanted to escape from this stage of the academy examination but Shen Miao's arrow was aimed at him as if it was going to chase him all the way to the ends of the earth.


"Young Miss from the Shen family is too competitive." Although the brave men at the men's party admired Shen Miao's composure, they were also bewildered by her current appearance. One should know that it is not a good thing for a woman to be too competitive. Now he depended on Cai Lin and did not leave, only to take revenge for the provocation that Cai Lin had given him. But Cai Lin did not hurt him, whereas Shen Miao was hurting Cai Lin's face. Although men are not spoiled like women and it is fine to have scars, but to have them on one's face ... It's not handsome, after all.


"It's like General Shen's daughter." There were some who cheered Shen Miao on, "If one only knew how to be bullied by others and did not retaliate, then if General Shen knew he would be furious."


“But look at him now, the tip of the arrow is pointing straight at Cai Lin's head. This was the intention to end Cai Lin's life and was too cruel.”


Both of Cai Lin's legs continued to tremble as he looked at the purple-clothed young lady that was far away like a demon. Her appearance was gentle, warm and beautiful and her eyes were clear with a few touches of naivety. But the actions he took had no doubts at all.


Shen Miao lightly said, "Third earth."


His hand loosened and the arrow projected forward as a sharp killing intent assaulted Cai Lin's forehead, making Cai Lin so frightened that he kneeled in a 'pu-tong' voice as he shouted, "Please!"


"With-er!" Cai Furen and Cai Daren simultaneously shouted in shock.


Everyone stood up and stretched their necks to look at the situation on the stage.


Cai Lin collapsed to the ground and there was a fruit rolling around and an arrow shot out, making a hole in it.
