I Didn't Do It on Purpose (3)
Of course, this requires mastering the skills to the extreme. Before that, you need a long time to practice, a lot of arrows to support you, and most importantly, a strong bow.
However, why is Ye Lang's archery technique still a little abnormal? With the secret manual, he should be very strong!
Actually, the reason is quite simple. This Archery Manual contains advanced archery techniques without any basic knowledge. In other words, if Ye Lang wants to learn the archery techniques in this manual, he must first learn the basic archery techniques.
"Draw the bow, nock the arrow..."
Cold-Blooded Fifth couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to give Ye Lang some pointers, but at that moment, a subtle change occurred on the field...
"Hey! Look at me, feet apart... arms straight and parallel to the ground... draw the bow... move your arms..."
Li Yue suddenly spoke up, signaling Ye Lang to look at her. She demonstrated a very standard and detailed procedure, explaining it clearly. She was very thorough in teaching a novice like Ye Lang.
Li Yue's actions stunned almost everyone. They never expected that Li Yue would take the initiative to teach a boy archery. Countless people on this shooting range had asked her to teach them, but she had never agreed.
It's unbelievable that she's teaching such a cunning boy!
Ye Lang imitated Li Yue's actions step by step, and then shot an arrow...
"Wow, you hit it! You hit it! Li Yue, you're amazing!" Ye Lang said casually, forgetting that he didn't seem to know Li Yue in his current identity.
However, Li Yue didn't care, because she thought Ye Lang might be someone who was pursuing her. Besides, everyone at this shooting range knew her Li Yue, and someone had just called out her name.
What Li Yue was concerned about was the tone of voice; she felt she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.
"You hit the target, that's true, but you hit my target. Yours was several targets away from mine..." Li Yue said calmly, "You need to practice more!"
"No problem, I've got a grasp of it, thank you!" Ye Lang said excitedly. At this moment, he had begun to take an interest in archery, seemingly forgetting his purpose for coming here, and even forgetting that Li Yue was by his side.
"Whoosh..."
Arrows flew continuously from Ye Lang's hand, their trajectories becoming increasingly beautiful and their accuracy ever higher. Of course, Ye Lang's posture also became increasingly graceful.
When Li Yue was about to leave, she looked at Ye Lang again and her face showed surprise. She found that Ye Lang was no longer a novice, but seemed to be a skilled archer who had practiced archery for many years.
At the same time, she also noticed that Ye Lang was so engrossed in the joy of comprehending archery techniques that he had forgotten everything around him. It seemed that he really had come here to practice archery.
Perhaps I'm overthinking things, and maybe they weren't even trying to get close to me...
Li Yue shook her head, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and then left!
After she left, Ye Lang continued to practice archery. His archery skills improved so quickly that it was almost unbelievable. Cold-Blooded Fifth, watching from the shadows, was increasingly astonished.
At this rate, Cold-Blooded Fifth believed that within seven days, Ye Lang's archery skills would surpass hers, and she was also very confident in her own archery skills. As an assassin, she would definitely be proficient in ranged weapons.
"Huh, where did everyone go!" After shooting the last arrow, Ye Lang realized that there were very few people left at the shooting range, and Li Yue, who had been beside him, had long since disappeared.
"Little Five, are you still there?"
"Yes, can't you see I'm practicing archery?"
Although many people have left the shooting range, there are still people practicing archery, including Cold-Blooded Fifth.
Besides the pressure Ye Lang put on her, the most important reason she practiced archery was that she had been there for so long, and now that everyone had left, if she didn't practice archery, people would definitely suspect her.
"It seems a bit late now, let's go!" Ye Lang texted Cold-Blooded Fifth.
"Okay! I'll go first. You wait here for a while before you go out!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said. She wanted to leave as soon as possible so she could hide in the shadows and protect Ye Lang.
"Good!"
Ye Lang originally wanted to shoot a few more arrows, but he had run out of arrows, so he rested for a while and then went to pay the bill. The shooting range was not provided for free, and the wear and tear on the bows and arrows cost money.
"One gold coin!" The staff member looked a little strange, because they had never seen anyone spend a gold coin here before, just once.
After leaving the shooting range, Ye Lang returned to the Bamboo Heart Pavilion. Today's mission should be over. Li Yue usually stays at home in the evenings, with nowhere else to go.
The only action Ye Lang needs to take tonight is to attend a flower and moon appreciation gathering in a few days. Li Yue will be attending, so Ye Lang will naturally need to go as well.
However, this event seems to be taking place at the Bamboo Heart Pavilion, which makes Ye Lang's appearance even more coincidental, something Athena was somewhat surprised about beforehand.
She didn't believe that Ye Lang had anticipated such an event at the Bamboo Heart Pavilion beforehand; he had simply chosen a location randomly. However, this random choice unexpectedly helped the plan.
"Bump!"
When Ye Lang returned to the Bamboo Heart Pavilion, he encountered a small accident. As he entered, he bumped into a little girl, who was only about fourteen or fifteen years old.
The little girl seemed to be shouting, "Everyone be smart! This Moon-Viewing Flower Party has to be perfect... ah..."
"Little sister, are you alright?"
Ye Lang immediately helped the little girl up and asked her with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going!" The little girl didn't get angry, but apologized to Ye Lang.
"It's my fault, I was in too much of a hurry!" Ye Lang shook his head and said, "How about I buy you some candy?"
Seeing Ye Lang's sunny smile, the entire Bamboo Heart Pavilion fell silent. However, their silence was not because of Ye Lang's smile, but because of what he had just said.
He actually called himself her brother! Oh no, doesn't he know that she hates being treated like a child, and even more so, she hates it when someone takes advantage of her and acts like her brother?
"No need!" The little girl's expression changed as expected.
"Here, these are some small toys I bought before, I'll give them to you!" Ye Lang didn't realize that something was wrong. Since the little girl didn't want candy, he would give her the small toys instead.
"No... Oh, this is so cute!" The little girl was initially reluctant, but her eyes lit up when she saw what Ye Lang was holding.
