Chapter 543 - Archery Competition (1/2)

After pondering for a moment, Lady Chu retrieved her phone and dialed a number.

”Good evening, esteemed father. I am currently in a difficult situation and I need your help,” she said.

Immediately, a frantic voice resounded from the phone, ”What happened?! Are you in danger?! Where are you?! I will immediately send support!”

”Calm down, father. I am fine. Anyways, you told me to stay away from the Six Spiritual Families, but I might have to see them, and I was hoping you'd let me go.”

”…”

Her father didn't immediately respond and took a long moment to ponder.

Sometime later, he asked her in a solemn voice, ”Does this have anything to do with the person you are looking for?”

”Yes, it does.. According to the intelligence agency, he is inside the Jaded Garden, and I have to go see him.”

After another moment of silence, her father released a low sigh, ”I promised you that if you manage to endure your training that lasted over a decade, I would let you meet this person. Although I would have preferred that you stayed away from the Six Spiritual Families since there's no other way… Go ahead. Just try to keep your identity hidden.”

”I will have people on standby near that place just in case you encounter any trouble with them.”

”Thank you, father! I love you! Muah!”

After kissing her father through the phone, Lady Chu hung up and turned to look at her caretaker with a smile on her face.

”We are going to Jaded Garden!” She declared.

”I understand.” The old man nodded.

The following morning, they boarded a private helicopter and made their way to the Jaded Garden.

Meanwhile, Yuan and Meixiu had just finished eating breakfast.

”There's going to be a competition between the archery disciples and I am going to participate in it, so I might be a little later than usual today,” Meixiu said to him as they walked to the training area.

”Really? Can I watch it? I need a break from training as well,” Yuan asked her.

”I think so. I will ask the instructor.”

”Okay.”

After arriving at the training area, Yuan said, ”Give me a minute to speak with Wang Ming since he's probably expecting to train with me today.”

He then went inside the gymnasium on the first floor, and as he'd expected, Wang Ming approached him with a sword in his grasp.

”Ya ready?” Wang Ming asked him in a casual manner, feeling completely familiar with Yuan after sparring with him for the past few days.

”Sorry, but I am going to take a break today to watch Me— Feng participate in an archery tournament,” Yuan said to him.
