Chapter 46: Another Exam?!

Xu Yingquan couldn’t bear to see grown men wrapped like a ball, saying that it obstructed movement and it also made their physique weak and dependent. So at the start of every martial arts class, the students of Zi Hall had to run a few laps in the martial arts field to warm up their bodies before starting class. 

Wen Yantong, as the only outlier in the Zi Hall, was tightly wrapped in three inner layers and three outer layers before going out. Even she felt quite tired when walking.

When she appeared in Xu Yingquan's sight, she successfully received Xu Yingquan's confused eyes.

"Teacher Xu, it's cold outside today." Wen Yantong swayed to his side and greeted him in a familiar tone.

"I haven't seen you for half a month, how is your leg?" Xu Yingquan asked. 

"It still hurts, really hurts!" Wen Yantong replied. "I thought it would be better after the cast was removed, but I didn't expect that now it would be more painful to walk. I get stabbing pain every ten steps!"

Xu Yingquan sighed. "Your body is really weak. It can be seen that you rarely exercise."

Wen Yantong said, "Teacher is right. I suffered from my poor health, and I will definitely exercise well in the future."

He said, "You wait on the side when the others take their laps. After, you will assemble together with them. We are practicing flat shooting today, so it should be ok for you."

Wen Yantong nodded in response, then obediently walked to the side and stood there.

She was afraid of being late, so she came early. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zi Hall's students also came to the martial arts field one after another.

Wen Yantong's eyes floated around, and suddenly she spotted Chi Jingxi and his friends coming.

After Mu Yang approached, he bursted out laughing when he saw Wen Yantong. He was laughing so much that he leaned forward and backward, he exclaimed: "From a distance, I thought you were a fat goose! Why are you dressed like this today?"

"Don't you think it’s very cold?" Wen Yantong shrank her neck and looked at Chi Jingxi and others. They didn't even wear big cloaks, their tops were light-colored short jackets, and they wore loose trousers underneath, and their wrists and ankles were tied with string, which made it convenient for moving.

Wen Yantong found that most of Chi Jingxi's clothes were embroidered with ruyi patterns, which looked extremely auspicious and quite matched his name.

He walked by Wen Yantong without taking a glance at her, and was whispering something to Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin said angrily, "What happened? Didn't Wen Yantong take half a month's vacation? Why did he come here today? Did you tell him something secretly?"

Chi Jingxi hummed, "You bet, you pay. One must not be petty."

Cheng Xin sighed, "My ox horn bow has not been warmed yet, but now I have to give it to you."

Chi Jingxi's eyes were curved, and the obvious smile on his face attracted the eyes of everyone around him.

Wen Yantong stood on the side and watched the students in Zi Hall running around. She turned to ask, "Teacher Xu, who in our Zi Hall had the best score on the class evaluation test?"

Xu Yingquan happened to have nothing to do, so he filled her with gossip, "Chi Jingxi. Three bullseyes."

Wen Yantong took a small breath and expressed her shock. "Then who is the worst?"

Xu Yingquan expressionlessly thought for a while, "It should be you."

"Why?" she said, "Didn't I also hit a bullseye? Mu Yang didn't even hit a single one, aren’t I better than him?"

"You did hit the bullseye." Xu Yingquan continued, "But you missed the first two arrows. If we counted distance, then you are the only one who landed an arrow to your feet, so the worst one should be you..."

Wen Yantong suddenly became enlightened.

After the laps stopped, Xu Yingquan gave them some time to rest, and at the same time let Wen Yantong join the team.

This was the first time she has joined the Zi Hall team since she participated in the martial arts class. She was supposed to stand last, but because she was so short, Xu Yingquan called back halfway through her walk, "You stand in front."

The people in the first row vacated a position, just so Wen Yantong stood in the first row.

She secretly pouted, thinking that she was also in the back row when she was in physical education class in high school.

Xu Yingquan said, "Today we are practicing flat shooting today. There will be a small test. Practice in groups of two, you will be tested at the end."

Wen Yantong was horrified. Why are there still tests? Her head ached every time she heard that word!

Mu Yang asked, "How do we pair up? Can we choose (our partners)?"

Xu Yingquan took out a small wooden box with a hole in it, and replied, "Randomly."

Then there was the line to draw lots. Zi Hall happened to have an even number of people, so no one would be singled out if everyone paired up.

Wen Yantong wanted to be with Fu Zixian. She knew her own abilities, not to mention the bullseye, she would celebrate if she could shoot the arrow. If she were to be grouped with another student, they would definitely be disgusted. Only with Fu Zixian would she be relieved.

She kept thinking about this matter, so when she walked in front of Xu Yingquan, she asked, "Teacher, if you get someone who doesn't want to be in the same group, can it be exchanged?"

As soon as the problem came out, many people looked over towards her. It was obvious that they shared the same question.

"No." Xu Yingquan coldly refused.

Wen Yantong put her hand into the wooden box with a bitter face. She took a sheet, walked to the side, and opened it secretly; it was an incomprehensible word.

A hand suddenly stretched out behind her. Her paper was snached out of her hand and soon, she heard shouting. "It's seven! It's the same number as Brother Xi!"

Wen Yantong's heart thumped. When she looked up, she saw Chi Jingxi, who was not far away, looking over here. He did not look very pleased.

Her eyes darkened and she almost pinched herself.

"Eep!..." Heaven wants me dead!
