Chapter 170: Chapter 169: Partner’s Level
Qi Zhen suddenly paused, apparently not having caught on: “You… what do you mean?”
Could it be that Qi Yue was going to watch her compete?
Qi Yue’s face still bore a smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes: “What a coincidence, I’ve also signed up for the mixed competition tomorrow.”
Qi Zhen: “…”
Qi Zhen had never imagined that right after Qi Yue said those words, she would actually be competing with her in the same event.
For a moment, Qi Zhen’s mind was flooded with memories of competing with Qi Yue in the past…
...
Ever since Qi Yue’s return, all her own glory seemed dull and lackluster.
In any competition with Qi Yue, she had never won…
The Azure Dragon Cup where Qi Yue withdrew mid-competition was the only match she had ever won against Qi Yue.
Qi Zhen’s heart suddenly lost its rhythm, instinctively overcome with panic.
It was a fear that was etched into her very bones.
Qi Wanli and Yu Shuhua exchanged glances, their expressions also changing.

Although what they had just said was also meant mentally, when it really came down to Qi Yue competing against Qi Zhen once more, it was inevitable that they would worry about Qi Zhen’s condition.
Qi Yue looked towards Qi Wanli and Yu Shuhua with a calm demeanor, “This time, it’s also because the two students originally chosen by the school met with a little accident and couldn’t make it back, and since I happen to know a bit about shooting, I filled in the gap. Dad, mom, Zhenzhen, you don’t mind, do you?”
They had already spoken to such an extent just before, how could they possibly say they minded now?
Qi Wanli, feeling extremely awkward, spoke up, “How could we… It’s been a long time since you sisters competed together… It’s good to have a friendly competition…”
Yu Shuhua could only echo, “Yes, yes, mom already said before, it’s better for you to come back to shooting than to continue farming potatoes! We’re overjoyed that you’ve come to your senses!”
Qi Zhen had by this time calmed down and spoke up: “Why should I mind? Sister, just don’t get upset if you lose to me!”
Qi Yue smiled, “Of course not, we’re sisters, whether win or lose, doesn’t it all amount to the same? If I lose, I will sincerely congratulate you, my sister, and I definitely won’t have any hard feelings. I believe you would do the same.”
In this moment, Qi Yue’s tone and attitude were exactly like Qi Zhen’s usual manner.
With Qi Yue’s words reaching such a level, Qi Zhen could only toughen up and say: “Naturally!”
So many years had passed, she had always been practicing shooting, while Qi Yue had long since changed her major.
After so many years, she was no longer the Qi Zhen of the past, and Qi Yue was no longer the Qi Yue of the past; their previous levels were no longer comparable.
With Qi Yue’s current level of shooting, how could she possibly beat her!
Qi Yue nodded her head, “Good, then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
After Qi Yue finished speaking, she directly pulled along the still dazed Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang and left.
Not until they had walked quite a distance did Song Qiuqiu come back to her senses, excitedly grabbing Qi Yue’s hand, “Yue… Yue Bao! You’re going to participate in tomorrow’s shooting competition???”
Qi Yue nodded her head: “Yeah, didn’t you hear just now?”
Song Qiuqiu’s eyes reddened slightly: “Is it because of me? It’s all because I was too impulsive earlier and caused you trouble, Yue Bao, you don’t have to force yourself to do things you don’t like for my sake!”
Qi Yue rubbed Song Qiuqiu’s head gently, “What nonsense are you talking about! How have you caused me any trouble!”
To the side, Su Xiaotang spoke up, “Actually, I think it’s fine for Yue Bao to participate in the competition. Qi Zhen is indeed too arrogant! Don’t you believe in Yue Bao’s abilities?”
Song Qiuqiu knew that over the years Qi Yue had always maintained her training regimen, and from helping Gu Huai with the shooting competition that time, it was clear that Qi Yue’s level hadn’t declined, but still…
“But, tomorrow’s competition is a mixed team event, it’s not just Yue Bao competing, the partner’s level matters too…” Song Qiuqiu said worriedly.
