General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 383 Archer Selection Competition (1)

"I...I don't know." Qu Shishi said blankly.

On the way to Ji Xiaomu's house, Qu Shishi was in a bad mood. Lin Feng felt like a sinner. No matter how he tried to amuse Qu Shishi, he couldn't make her laugh.

When they arrived at Ji Xiaomu's home, Qu Shishi finally showed some emotion and stayed close to Ji Xiaomu. Although she had a happy smile on her face, she looked absent-minded occasionally, and it was hard not to notice that.

Mother Ji found Lin Feng and pointed at Qu Shishi with her eyes. Lin Feng scratched his head and helplessly told him what had just happened. After listening to her, Mother Ji looked at Lin Feng with a condemning look.

You are just rubbing salt into the girl's wounds!

Lin Feng lowered his head to admit his mistake. He really didn’t mean it.

Ji Xiaomu found Qu Shishi helping her wash dishes in the kitchen. Although three bowls were broken on the floor, Qu Shishi was still washing the dishes very hard. However, the way she held the bowls made it seem as if she had a deep hatred and wanted to fight with the bowls.

"Shishi, what are your plans next?" Ji Xiaomu glanced at Qu Shishi and asked.

"...Sister Ji, if someone asked me I would definitely say yes, but I'm not afraid to tell you that I didn't know where I could go. The only person I thought of at the time was you." Qu Shishi lowered her head and said dejectedly.

"Growing up like this, you're my only friend." Qu Shishi looked at the bowl in her hand, "I have no talent. I'm not proficient in any of the arts. I can't even do the most basic things like getting dressed and washing dishes."

"I don't know what I can do or where I can go. Maybe Lin Feng is right. People like me shouldn't come out to harm others." Qu Shishi's eyes were full of tears. She felt like a failure.

I have never felt so useless as I do today.

She was always complacent, thinking that she could become a female knight once she left home, and that her abilities were just tricks played by the servants to tease her.

"Why do you think so?" Ji Xiaowu shook her head. "Everyone has their own strengths. You just haven't found them yet. Don't think of yourself like that. Besides, there is no ability to learn. It mainly depends on you. What do you want to learn?"

"What...what can I learn?" Qu Shishi looked at Ji Xiaomu, like a lost child, looking for the way home.

"Well...what are you more interested in?" asked Ji Xiaomu.

"I want to be a female knight and do justice, just like in the storybooks." Qu Shishi's eyes lit up when she said this.

"...Do you know martial arts?" asked Ji Xiaomu.

Thinking of how happy she was when the servants praised her and how she thought she was a genius, Qu Shishi's smile froze. She smiled awkwardly and told Ji Xiaowu the truth. "I thought I had it, but the truth is, it's very likely that the servants were teasing me... just to make me happy."

"What do you do every day when you are at home?" asked Ji Xiaomu curiously.

"...After waking up, I would go to find my father. If he wasn't around, I would go find a martial arts master to practice martial arts, play pitch pots in the garden, and ride horses...Then I would look for an opportunity to sneak to the side yard to find my wet nurse. If there was no opportunity, I would sneak out to buy storybooks to read..." Qu Shishi tried hard to recall her previous life.

Ji Xiaomu couldn't help but sigh that Qu Shishi's life was still very rich and she was very "busy" every day.

"What's your favorite weapon?" Ji Xiaowu asked curiously.

"...Well, actually I think weapons are not very good. They are too heavy. I like light things, like darts. Bows and arrows are better. They are lighter and easier for me to carry." Qu Shishi pinched her chin and replied.
