Chapter 262
Garden Party (5)
After hearing Mu Mingtang praising another man, Xie Xuanchen’s eyebrows jumped, and he asked slowly, “Is he impressive?”
The waitress took the opportunity and continued to boast: “That’s not all. I heard from people in the capital that a few years ago there was a young man who was very efficient in throwing arrows using a method called ‘Lianhua Xiao’. Our Madam has been admiring him for a long time, but it’s a pity that she has never seen him. Princess An, the name Lianhua Xiao, sounds gimmicky, but it’s actually very subtle. Using Jian Xiao, arrows can just pop out and hang on the mouth of the pot. Although it’s rare, there is still room to perform it accidentally. However, Lianhua Xiao is not the same case. In this technique, the arrows are shot consecutively and they must hit the pot every single time. Eventually the shot arrows hang at the mouth of the pot in the shape of a lotus flower. Because arrows need to be arranged in order, they must be shot in precisely. Not only that, arrows must not touch each other while forming lotus.”
Mu Mingtang gasped when she heard about it. She couldn’t suppress her awe: “Really? By just listening to the details, I can imagine how difficult it must be to perform this trick shot. Can anyone really do such a thing? Who was the one who performed Lianhua Xiao back then? He must be an impressive person for sure.”
“I don’t know. I heard it happened several years ago.” The waitress thought for a while and replied.
Xie Xuanchen, who was silently tapping his fingers on the table, suddenly said, “If this happened within the last ten years, then that person should be me.”
After a moment of astonishment, Mu Mingtang and the waitress turned to face him with shocked expressions.
Mu Mingtang nearly screamed, “Really?”
With an innocent look, Xie Xuanchen nodded his head honestly, as if saying, why couldn’t you believe me?
‘Pretentious, fake! This person has lost his mind! He even narcissistically said that if it’s within ten years, then that person should be him. Can’t you be more sincere?’ Mu Mingtang disdainfully thought.
The waitress really didn’t expect that the famous person back then would actually turn out to be Prince An, and stood rooted to the ground. Mu Mingtang wanted to inquire more, so she asked: “Then can you still play Throwing The Pot? Why did you never mention it?”
“Oh… I forgot all about it.” That was exactly what Xie Xuanchen said.
The waitress stayed stunned for a while, but soon came back to her senses, and immediately said: “Prince An is really all-rounder! Our Madam has regretted it for many years, but I didn’t expect her dream to become a reality today. Prince an and Princess An, please excuse me for a while. I will invite Madam Li over here.”
The waitress spoke briefly before hurriedly calling out Madam Li. After seeing that there were no outsiders near them, Mu Mingtang asked Xie Xuanchen suspiciously, “If you used to play Throwing The Pot so well before, why didn’t the waitress know about it? Moreover, you never mentioned this to me.”
“I do not play it now, so naturally you don’t know.” After speaking so far, Xie Xuanchen sighed and continued,
“Because my strength and martial arts are too outstanding, it gradually overshadowed the rest of my strengths. You also know that if a person has too many s.h.i.+ning points about him, people will slowly forget the smaller ones and only remember the most talked about points. In fact, apart from my monstrous strength, literature, Throwing The pots skills, there are still many other things I’m good at.”
Mu Mingtang was furious: “Shut up!”
Xie Xuanchen tried to suppress his smile and didn’t say another word.
Mu Mingtang held back her anger for a long while, and finally said with a hint of bitterness hidden in her words, “I didn’t know it was really you.”
“It’s fine.” Xie Xuanchen said lightly, “It’s not your fault. It’s been so many years, so how can you know that? Dear, don’t be angry anymore.”
Madam Li, who had heard that the person she had admired a long time ago was Xie Xuanchen from the waitress, rushed over with other gentlemen who were playing Throwing The Pot. As a result, they just heard what Xie Xuanchen said to Mu Mingtang.
They couldn’t bring themselves to believe what they heard just now. The G.o.d of War was actually coaxing a woman?
