Red Strings of Connections

Chapter 42 Spring has Come

The sweet smile changes into sharp smirk as she went where her other siblings are.

"As for those who have time to waste in gossips, make sure you'll make your sect leaders proud!"

A strong gust of "Yes" came from the crowd of remaining disciples, except to the pair that almost wound by Tiao Reinshun's arrows.

How could they possibly answer? Up until now they could still feel the lingering of arrows that almost cut whatever in them.

Xingxiu Xuanyu follows Tiao Reinshun's elegant figure, that he fails to hear his Shixiong O Zhangyao calling for him. "Yu'er!" Xingxiu Xuanyu jerk up in shock when finally, someone's calls pierce his mind. He turns at the platform where the Sect leaders are, with O Zhangyao standing just below them.

"Focus." It was gentle tone, different from the earlier full of authority tone he used. "Yu'er your focus is on different place."

Xingxiu Xuanyu blushes, as he quickly prepares his bow and arrows.

"That's fine, that's his target, after all!" Wei Wuxian teasingly said out loud.

"Ying-Xiong!" Everyone is Zhuque Sect laughs, some from other sects smiles, and only Tiao Reinshun made a mistake on the meaning of Xingxiu Xuanyu's "real target".

On the other hand, no one within their midst is actually shock when despite Xingxiu Xuanyu loses focus on his target, his arrow still hits the mark, unlike those who knew Xingxiu Xuanyu as former disciple of Jin Clan, were jaws drop upon witnessing it.

They couldn't believe it, Mo Yu who is good-for-nothing and only knew how to sell his body to the older men have hit the mark without sweat, not to mention Xingxiu Xuanyu loses focus at the same time he let go of his bow's string.

Getting passed so easily like this, the Jin Clan's disciples are all curses him internally; but no matter how much they hated him and curses him, it wouldn't change the fact that they are all below him.

Wei Wuxian starts stretching, "Alright! Yang'er would you lend your Xiong a piece of cloth?"

"Hm? For what Ying-gege?"

"I'll cover my eyes and tries to hit the marks."

"If that's the case, why don't ask Wangji-xiong's forehead ribbon instead?" Tiao Reinshun suggests bluntly.

Wei Wuxian is at first speechless, while his eyes travel and landed on that person in issue, he remembers, he remembers that night, their night together, the night they have crossed the line between childhood friends, a line that no matter how much he loves Lan Wangji, he shouldn't let it have cross.

His eyelashes lower then smile at his sister, "Look here, is in the rules of Lan Clan that forehead ribbon is as important as their life. Better not, better not."

Eyebrow perks, but she no longer made a comment.

Something.

Something did happen between her Xiong and their Wangji-xiong, and that "Something" is hurting Wei Wuxian greatly, and alone, as she what observed, it is only her Xiong who bears the memories of that "Something", seeing there's no difference on Lan Wangji.

She claps her hands behind. She ought to find out what is it, she swore, wanting to stop the pain on her Xiong, and to make it clear on the confused white robed cultivator.

After showing off skills, the transportation portal has activated, letting the top disciples in archery went through first.

Myo Ning, "Ying-xiong, won't you remove that blindfold first?"
