“How much money would that be?”
“Today is quite a special day, probably millions.”
‘Half the share of the profits would amount to millions?’
Yan Jinyi’s eyes instantly lit up. “I’ll take it on!”
When Shen Yan heard those words, she hurriedly tugged Yan Jinyi’s sleeve and said, “Jinyi, you don’t know a thing about archery, you mustn’t agree to it. I do know Mr. Bai, I’ll talk to him for you.”
“There’s nothing to talk about, I agreed to it.”
‘We’re talking about more than a million yuan. It doesn’t make sense to turn down free money.’
“Second Young Mistress Huo, aren’t you curious about the consequences of losing?”
She was on someone else’s territory after all and it wouldn’t be good to be too arrogant. Hence, Yan Jinyi coughed a few times and said perfunctorily, “Tell me then, what happens if I lose?”
“If you lose, you must divorce Mr. Huo, and leave this city forever.”
Everyone got into an uproar and looked at Yan Jinyi.
‘That’s such a terrifying condition. This woman must be out of her mind if she agrees to it.’
Besides, the Huo Family definitely wasn’t short of a few million yuan.
However, if she divorced Huo Xishen, it would mean that she would no longer be married into a wealthy family.
“Oh, I see, alright, I’ll do it!”
Everyone looked at Yan Jinyi bizarrely.
“See, I told you this woman definitely isn’t in a loving relationship with Mr. Huo, unlike what the rumors say. If she truly loves him, how can she possibly agree to such unfair terms for a few million yuan?”
“Hah, she’s overly confident. Let’s just wait and see her make a fool out of herself. I reckon Mr. Bai is deliberately making things hard for her, all for his sister’s sake.”
“Yuxi is so outstanding, this woman can’t hold a candle to her at all.”
“…”
Seeing that Yan Jinyi was about to sign the agreement, Shen Yan immediately stopped her. “Jinyi, are you crazy? We can’t take part in this bet, have you ever thought about how angry Xishen would be when he finds out?”
‘Will he get angry? I doubt it. Besides, who said I’ll definitely lose?’
Yan Jinyi shot Shen Yan a comforting glance and signed her name resolutely without hesitating.
Her signature was neat and beautiful, a stark contrast to her roguish aura and bandit-like mannerisms.
“Second Young Mistress Huo, who do you think will win the archery competition this time?”
Yan Jinyi slightly raised her chin and pointed at herself very proudly. “Me.”
“Huh?”
“I’m going to participate in the archery competition, I’ll bet that I’ll win.”
As soon as she said that, the crowd laughed and jeered at her.
The staff looked at Yan Jinyi with bizarre expressions too. He had no choice but to admire her courage.
‘Does she really think that archery is just like fighting? Does she think she can easily win by brute force?’
As soon as the staff left, Yan Jinyi stretched her muscles and stood up to walk towards the middle of the venue. She casually picked up a random bow and said, “It’s quite heavy, the material is of good quality.”
“Hah, she seems quite professional.”
“Don’t jump to conclusions first, guys. I remember very clearly how Second Young Mistress Huo managed to defeat her contenders with her incredible combat skills the other time.”
“Save it, a fight is different from sports like archery. besides, many of the contenders this time are professional archers.”
Yan Jinyi had a sharp sense of hearing so she heard everything they said. She turned around and smiled at Shen Yan.
‘These people have no idea that bandits of the ancient era are best at archery, especially when riding horses. Moreover, I’m a fortress leader! Seriously, I’m actually even better at archery than fighting.’
‘I didn’t train hard and go through all that suffering since I was a kid, for nothing! Bai Moliang is bent on making me leave Huo Xishen, huh? I’ll show you what I’m made of today.’
