The siblings left Yuheng Garden and headed west to the nearest small garden.

As Gu Yanfei followed the steps Gu Yuan had mentioned and prepared to fire the flintlock, she muttered to herself, “What should we shoot?”

“How about that?” Gu Yuan pointed forward and pointed at a powerful weeping willow on the other side of the lake. He reminded her, “Be careful of the recoil when the flintlock is fired.”

!!

“Alright.” Gu Yanfei smiled and calmly aimed the muzzle of the flintlock at the weeping willow across the lake. She held the gun in her left hand and the stock in her right. Then, her right hand steadily pulled the trigger.

The flint clamp was jerked by the spring and struck the side of the fire door hard, sending sparks flying.

“Bang!”

There was a deafening bang as a fire dragon shot rapidly from the flintlock muzzle. The pellet crossed the lake as quickly as lightning and shot into a weeping willow on the other side.

The shot went cleanly through the trunk, leaving a hole the size of a dragon’s eye.

Rustle…

The trunk of the willow tree trembled violently, like a cub trembling in the wind and rain. Willow leaves fell like rain and floated on the sparkling lake, rippling and floating with the ripples of the lake…

Wisps of smoke still spewed from the muzzle of the gun, and the air was thick with gunpowder.

The loud noise on this side almost echoed through the small garden.

The servants in the garden heard the commotion and came in twos and threes, gaping at the scene.

“Sister, you shot really accurately!” Gu Yuan applauded Gu Yanfei’s shot.

Gu Yanfei felt her left arm ache and go numb from the recoil of the flint stone. She shook her left arm.

This thing was far inferior to a low-level spirit artifact.

Still…

Gu Yanfei looked back and forth thoughtfully on the flintlock several times. If she added a sharp array on it…

She gently drew with the index finger of her left hand and quickly drew a simple one-time formation with her spiritual power.

Yes, it was drawn very well.

She smiled in satisfaction, then repeated the previous steps. Moving nearly twice as fast as before, she aimed the gun at another weeping willow across the lake.

“Bang!”

A second shot rang out suddenly, louder than the first. Even the clouds in the sky above seemed to be shaken apart.

Another cloud of smoke spewed from the muzzle of the gun. The projectile was faster than before, and it struck the second weeping willow with lightning speed, carrying crimson flames.

With a creak, the tree trunk actually snapped in half.

There was another loud crash. The willow tree’s canopy crashed down from where it had broken off and landed on the lake, sending up a huge splash.

The servants watching at the side were all dumbfounded. They either covered their ears, exclaimed, or whispered to each other. No one even thought of reporting to Madam Gu and the Marquis.

More people heard the sound and came. The second gunshot did not just spread through the small garden and even most people in the Marquis Mansion heard it.

At this moment, Madam Gu, who was in the Benevolent Harmony Hall, also heard it.

She was so frightened by this inexplicable loud bang that her heart skipped a beat. An ominous feeling rose in her heart. She frowned and instructed, “Bai Lu, go and see what’s going on…”

Bai Lu bowed and left in a hurry.

As soon as she left, an old servant from the gatehouse ran over, panting. She told the little servant who was guarding under the eaves, “Earl Yan’an has come to congratulate you.”

The news brought by the old servant allowed her to successfully enter the east room and see Madam Gu.

“Why did Earl Yan’an suddenly come to congratulate us?” Madam Gu asked in confusion.

Recently, their family had been extremely unlucky and simply plagued by bad luck. They really could not figure out what joyous occasion was worthy of the other party’s congratulations.

The old woman replied happily, “Madam, they said that they’re here to congratulate Young Master for being transferred to the Divine Arts Battalion and being a fourth-grade imperial guard.”

“…” Madam Gu opened her eyes in surprise. Then, she retracted the fingers on her left hand and clenched them into a fist.

She didn’t say anything, and the old servant just bowed, not knowing what else to do.

The house fell silent.

After a moment of silence, the curtain was lifted again. The green-robed maidservant hurried in again and knelt down to report, “Madam, people from the Marquis Mansion, the Count of Changxing’s Manor, and the Longhu General Manor have come to congratulate you on your promotion.”
