Lan Zhan and Lan Mei were walking around the stone forest. So far, they couldn't spot any ghost targets. "This is boring. I rather be in Yunmeng trying out the food over there" Lan Mei whined.

"Behave yourself" Lan Zhan said. Lan Mei pouted, "There is no rule here saying that I should do that. We're not at the Cloud Recesses" she says as she walks ahead.

Just then, they heard a flare go off. It was the Yunmeng Jiang Clan's symbol, signaling everyone that they killed off a target.

The Clan Leaders took noticed of it, "Clan Leader Jiang, disciples of your clan are truly skilled in archery! I'm sure that your clan will take the championship again this time" Jin Guangshan said. "You must be joking, Clan Leader Jin. Nothing is certain until the match is over" Fengmian stated.

Four more flares popped up. Two were from the Lan Clan, one from the Nie Clan, and other from the Jin Clan.

Wen Chao was getting aggravated by the Clan Leaders enjoying themselves as their clans were getting the targets. Another flare popped up with the Wen symbol. All of a sudden, five dark symbols started flaring up in the sky.

"Uh-oh, 5 down when the match is just getting started" Guangshan mumbled, as he knew what those symbols are. At that moment, Wen Chao slammed his cup on the table, making Guangshan flinch a bit and he sat back down.

Wen Chao got up from his seat, walked to his father and bowed, "Father, I ask your permission to participate in this match!"

Back in the forest, "Lan Zhan, did you see that?" Lan Mei was pulling on her brother's sleeve while pointing up at the five dark symbols in the sky. Lan Zhan looked up and found this sight very strange.

They didn't get distracted for too long and continued on until they heard some commotion.

"Ouyang, watch out!" Jiang Cheng shouted.

Lan Zhan wasted no time and leaped in. He shot an arrow to Wen Chao's three arrows. The arrow shot through the middle, causing it to split in half, stopping the other two arrows. Lan Zhan's arrow kept going and shot a ghost target, triggering a flare for the Lan Clan.

"Heads up, boys!" Everyone heard Lan Mei's voice from behind. They all looked back at her before she leaped up, did a small twirl as she grabbed an arrow from her back and shot at Lan Zhan's direction. It hit a ghost target, triggering another flare for the Lan Clan.

The Lan siblings landed on the ground in front of Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng.

"You... all of you!" Wen Chao tossed his bow to his assistant before walking away. Unbeknownst to the others, he was secretly staring at Lan Mei, who walked to Jiang Cheng with a handkerchief in her hands, with a lustful smile.

"Lan Zhan, Lan Mei, nice shots!" Wei Ying complimented them. Lan Mei nodded at his compliment as she was patting the cloth on Cheng's forehead. "Anhe, I'm not a child. This is nothing!" He says in embarrassment while swatting her hand away. "Would a kiss help it then?" Lan Mei smirked. Jiang Cheng blushed and looked away, "Maybe..." she giggled at his response.

Wei Ying noticed that Lan Zhan's ribbon was crooked, "Bro Wangji, your forehead ribbon is slanted"

"Pathetic"

"I really mean it this time! I'll fix it!" As Wei Ying was reaching for the headband, Lan Mei's eyes widened, "Wei Ying, wait! Don't—" Wei Ying pulled the ribbon off, causing Lan Zhan's eyes widen in utter shock and horror.
