…

At that moment, Liu Ruolei pushed her way through the crowd and pinched Liu Yuanrui sharply, “Brother~ Just go easy on him, okay? You don’t really want to embarrass my husband, do you? Be careful, or I’ll deal with you later.”

“Ouch, my dear sister. I am just upholding a tradition among prominent families like ours. We are a respected household, we cannot forsake our traditions.” Liu Yuanrui’s light-hearted mood vanished instantly after the pinch.

“I don’t care, this is sister’s wish.” Liu Ruolei whimpered, “If you don’t listen, I’ll report you to sister.”

Liu Yuanrui shuddered, he was well aware of his sister Liu Ruolan’s temper. She might seem elegant and gentle on the surface, but once provoked, it would be hell to pay.

At that point, it wouldn’t matter that he was Liu Yuanrui, even if his father Liu Gaowang intervened, it would be worthless. It’s safe to say that he would be dead meat.

Faced with no other option, Liu Yuanrui reluctantly agreed, “Fine, fine. I’ll lower the difficulty level for my brother-in-law.”

“Brother-in-law, you just need to shoot the three copper coins from half the distance, about fifteen feet, to win.”

“That’s more like it,” Liu Ruolei said with slight satisfaction, “Sister said, such obsolete traditions aren’t good.”

“Ruolei, I’m your brother too, stop quoting ‘sister said’ all the time.” Liu Yuanrui glared at her in irritation, “You can try to convince an in-law when I get married.”

“Hmph, I don’t care about your fate.” Liu Ruolei rolled her eyes, “In any case, don’t bully my brother-in-law.”

After Liu Ruolei delivered the message, the other nephews and nieces also trembled and quickly changed their stance. They thought, hmm, half the distance seems fair. Otherwise, it would be too unfair for brother-in-law.

Liu Yuanshan, although his cultivation level and other aspects were mediocre, he was the first master in archery among his generation.

And he was already in his forties.

Their brother-in-law was only nineteen, how could he compete?

The nephews and nieces, one after another, began to change their stance to be more considerate towards their brother-in-law.

With such a rapid shift in attitude, Wang Shouzhe was a bit taken aback, his unknown wife seemed to have considerable influence.

All Ruolei had to say was a few words, and those energetic young lads and girls suddenly became docile?

Could his wife be a tigress?

“Hey, brother-in-law, what are you thinking?” Liu Yuanshan urged, “Are we still on? Don’t worry, I’ll make your loss clean and swift, out of respect for Ruolan.”

Wang Shouzhe was speechless, how unique your respect is.

No wonder you’re still unmarried at forty. Serves you right!

Despite his inner grumbling, Wang Shouzhe politely saluted, “Brother Yuanshan, please.”

The Liu Family was large, with many members in Yuanshan’s generation, Wang Shouzhe had no idea of Liu Yuanshan’s ranking.

Liu Yuanshan didn’t decline, he let out a laugh and took out his bow and arrows.

From a distance of thirty feet, he aimed and shot.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~ three sharp arrows were almost simultaneously released.

The arrows flew with lightning speed, almost too fast for the naked eye to follow.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

Upon hearing the consecutive sounds, all three copper coins were hit and exploded simultaneously. The arrows continued to fly forth, embedding themselves half a foot deep into a tree.

“Good, good archery!”

The nieces and nephews around applauded in unison.

Undoubtedly, they were greatly satisfied with Liu Yuanshan’s archery skills, which were undeniably impressive. It was no surprise that he was renowned among most in the Vital Energy Refining Realm.

But how come brother Yuanshan, with such excellent archery skills, still can’t find a wife? Sigh~~

Meanwhile, Liu Yuanshan himself was quite pleased, casting a glance at Wang Shouzhe.

As he had boasted before shooting, he intended to make Wang Shouzhe lose without resistance.

“Brother-in-law,” Liu Yuanrui casually laughed, “As long as you can do the same at half the distance as Brother Yuanshan, you pass. If not, just surrender gracefully. I’ve already catered to you enough.”

Catering to your brother-in-law? You’re just afraid of getting beaten by your sister, aint’ you? thought Wang Shouzhe, sizing him up quietly.

Then he calmed himself and chuckled, “Well, it’s no big deal to give in to my wife. But I’d still like to give it a try. As for the shortened distance, I’d rather not, it would feel like I’m chickening out.”

“Okay, Brother-in-law is quite bold, hand him a bow and arrows.”

Upon Liu Yuanrui’s command, a strong bow was quickly provided.

Wang Shouzhe tried it out. Although the bow was flexible, which would have been a problem while hunting fierce beasts, it would be enough for this competition.

“Brother-in-law, hang in there.” Liu Ruolei cheered from the side, “Stabilize your mind, aim well, you only need to hit one coin.”

Once Liu Ruolei started, the other nephews and nieces also chimed in, “Brother-in-law, take it slow. Brother Yuanshan has been single for forty years, he had plenty of time to improve his skills, you’re still young, it’s not the same.”

Liu Yuanshan’s heart dropped, Ruolei’s words were utterly devastating. What’s the connection between being single and practicing hand speed? He was confused, sensing something was off.

Soon, under everyone’s watchful eyes, it was Wang Shouzhe’s turn to shoot.
