Zhijui look at both Zhongli yinmin and Zhou shisui with bitter look on her face, if these two start fighting.
She will be first one to catch in cross fire since she is the only third person available on training field.
Maybe her luck was not good on her very first day of trainings, shisui also return recovering from her shoulder injury.
Right now both are standing infront of each other shisui didn't have her usual arrogant look on her face.
While Zhongli yinmin was quite nervous after training for half month are archery skills had improved alot.
Cause of this she had start cultivating again two days ago but still her strength is lower then shisui if they fight.
She will be really at great disadvantage so she was quite anxious and want any of her cousins to return.
"You had been learning archery for half month now aren't you" Zhongli yinmin nervously gulp and nodded her head.
"What about an archery competition" both were dumbfounded with sudden calm challenge by her.
"If I said no" she ask while sneakily stealing glances at her to see her reaction, but nothing she was calm.
"Then I will continue asking you everyday till you agree" she reply without any embarrassed look on her face.
Both girls were speechless just thinking about a nine year child challenging another five and half year old everyday.
Just the thought cause headache Zhongli yinmin then ask her in frustration "okay if I agree for the challenge will you stop causing trouble for me"
Zhou shisui look at her and spoke "only if you won but if you loss you will have to publicly apologize to me and also give me your courtyard"
Zhijui ask with frown "and if won" shisui take out something from her sleeves and show it to them.
"This is bottle of 1st grade qi gathering pill consists of three pills enough for you to reach the peak of qi gathering"
Zhijui gasp as she look at the bottle with widen eyes such pills are very rare and expensive but here she us using it as bet.
Zhijui couldn't help but curse at shisui for being stupid and wasteful, but envious too she had such loving parents.
Even Zhongli yinmin jaw dropped when she heard this but if she lost there a chance she might lost her courtyard.
"If I lost my courtyard were will I live" Zhongli yinmin felt like it's better to be clear on all terms before agreeing.
"Naturally you will take my current courtyard" shisui courtyard is small then her east courtyard.
But it's an independent courtyard unlike zhijui who live in her elder sister courtyard in small room.
Zhijui once again curse at shisui for being an idiot just for a bigger and better courtyard she is betting such precious pills.
If she keep them to herself and cultivate diligently and grew stronger why would master zhou will not built new and better courtyard for her.
Her heart ache for the precious pill and master Zhou but didn't said anything and watch two girls preparing themselves.
"We will shot five round whoever had more arrows near the center will win" it's rather simple and straightforward method.
So Zhongli yinmin had no problem with it, zhijui was asked to be judge who at first was unwilling to do it.
But when shisui stuff silver ingot in her hand she happily agreed to be the judge, how can she say no it's her first pocket of silver.
Even though it's look like her life is full she still don't have even single copper coin on her name.
At first shisui went and shot her first arrow which land on seventh ring, one by one she had shot all of her arrow.
She had one missed shot, two on seventh ring, one on sixth ring and one on eight ring her performance was not bad.
Infact it can be consider very good since her weapon is whip not bow and arrows but right now they competing in archery.
Zhongli yinmin took a deep breath and raise her bow she pull the arrow and release it the arrow landed on eight ring.
One by one she shot all of her arrows she then release the shaky breath she had been holding from start.
She had two shot on eight ring, one on sixth and seventh ring and last one surprisingly land on ninth ring.
Zhou shisui still had calm look on her face as she take out the bottle and give it to Zhongli yinmin who hesitate.
"Take it you win it fair and square no need to be embarrass about it" Zhongli yinmin frown but still took the bottle.
"Why did you want to have a challenge with me so suddenly" Zhou shisui pause then replied with embarrassment.
"My mother said if you want something you can fight for it but only using fair method, challenging you to get the courtyard I wanted is fair
But at the same time I need to give something equally valuable to hold the challenge fair and square"
Both zhijui and yinmin were shock they didn't expect such fairness coming out from the usually arrogant and pampered girl.
"But still these pills are too rare to actually use as wager" zhijui couldn't help but criticize this behaviour.
"Actually these pills are defective father brought it for yinmin to study them and learn something from it I just borrow them from him they are meant for you"
"....."
Zhongli yinmin face darken as she grit her teeth in anger glaring at her while zhijui brust into fist of laughter.
"Hahaha I thought y-you w-we-were stupid but rather they were defective and me-meant for her"
She spoke between laughter shisui innocently spread her arms "why would I give something as previous as qi pills"
"Then why did you use them as bet" shisui smiled mischievously and look at her direction lightly.
"You broke my shoulder of course I'm going to take my revenge if you actually had lost i had receive my dream courtyard although it's a pity I still got my revenge"
Yinmin was so angry that smoke was coming out if her ear, zhijui was seating on ground holding her stomach from laughing.
"Oh oh my stomach it hurt hahahaha cough cough" it seem like she laugh too hard she end up chocking on her saliva.
