Xia Houshang saw the rocks in her hand and found this laughable, “You’re going to make a slingshot for this? By the time you shoot down one of them, the rest would have flown away!”
“You talk too much!” Qiao Qing lifted her chin a little, “Release the pigeons.”
“You are really going to battle me like this?!” Xia Houshang was a little shocked.
She watched as Qiao Qing played with the rocks with one hand and questioned, “You’re going to use one hand? You know simply hitting a pigeon doesn’t prove anything. I shot down 11 of them!”
At the scene, Yin Lei and Xia Shixiong also stared at Qiao Qing curiously, uncertain of her intentions.
Qiao Qing continued to ignore and narrowed her eyes at the servant, “Are you releasing them or not?”
The servant felt his legs grow weak. Though that girl stood far away from him, the demeanor she gave off terrified him.
Without thinking too much, he followed her command and went to open up the cage.
The pigeons inside rushed out at an instant and straightened their wings.
Everyone watched Qiao Qing play with the rocks and wondered why she hadn’t made a move.
By the time all the pigeons had left the cage and disappeared into the sky, Qiao Qing made her move.
She simply threw out her rocks into the sky in one go. All the rocks she had in hand went in different directions. Nobody could see clearly but everyone could hear the sound of rocks hitting birds in the sky.
Before long, it started to rain pigeons. A group of pigeons fell from the sky and pitter-pattered down onto the ground.
Everyone glanced over and saw that there were 24 pigeons on the ground.
Everyone saw that Qiao Qing only threw her rocks once!
One throw got all the targets!
Xia Houshang was in disbelief.
Emperor Yin gulped as his heart trembled.
He thought of something and felt pitiful.
If it weren’t for the Xia family, Qiao Qing would’ve made a decent granddaughter-in-law. She was a talented one indeed.
But just like Xia Houshang said, no matter how capable a person is, they cannot go head to head against an army.
As a gun designer and maker, Xia Houshang was far more useful to the Country of Summer than Qiao Qing.
Jun Yexuan started to applaud, “My Qingqing is incredible! One throw hit all the pigeons! This proves it! Her ancient martial art skills are better than your gun skills!”
Xia Houshang, “…”
Everyone else, “…”
He just called Xia Houshang cruel yet now, he praised Qiao Qing hard. This double standard could not be more obvious.
Xia Houshang saw how differently he was treated them and felt much jealousy.
“No matter how good she is, she’s just by herself! I am a gun designer! I can equip an entire army with powerful weapons! Once you’re the Emperor, I’m the one who can give you the most support!”
Jun Yexuan rolled his eyes, “First of all, I have no plans on becoming the Emperor. Second of all, I don’t care what kind of designer you are. To me, you’re worth less than a strand of Qingqing’s hair.”
“You!” Xia Houshang was now red in the face and in the ears.
She remembered what was going to happen at night and calmed herself down. She pulled onto her father, who was also close to exploding, and said, “Dad, let’s go.”
Once the water is under the bridge, he won’t be able to be with his beloved Qiao Qing!
Once the Xia family left, Jun Yexuan grabbed Qiao Qing’s hand, “Let’s go upstairs..”
