Chapter 454: The Underworld’s Fake Heiress Rises to Archery Champion (7)

"Chapter 454: The Underworld Fake Heiress's Counterattack and the Archery Champion (7)"

"Sister, tomorrow is my first striking class... could you come?"

According to the plot, Tang Yi has now officially taken her place and become the little princess of the Tang family, doted on by everyone.

With the real one here, Tang Qing, the stand-in, naturally becomes expendable.

Tang Junshan's solution was to have the former young lady, Tang Qing, serve as Tang Yi's exclusive companion.

In plain terms—her personal bodyguard. After all, Tang Junshan had invested significant resources in Tang Qing, and now she was fully trained. She's suitable labor—no sense wasting it.

Apparently, seeing that Tang Qing hadn’t replied to her message after some time, Tang Yi sent another one.

"Sister! No worries if you're busy and can't come!"

"I can handle it!"

It was followed by a frog emoji cheering herself on.

The message radiated the classic naive charm of a "little white flower."

The system broke in at this point, chuckling, "Tang Qing, let’s go."

"In the plot, you’re supposed to bully her tomorrow!"

In the setup of this small world, Tang Qing is the clichéd villainous supporting character, unable to accept that Tang Yi has taken her place, and she repeatedly plots against her.

In this striking class scene, Tang Qing intentionally bullies the "little white flower," coincidentally witnessed by Chi Che.

Chi Che, rarely showing kindness, saves Tang Yi, marking their first encounter between the young underworld master and the "little white flower."

A cliché damsel-in-distress scenario, cliché.

But effective.

Hearing the system’s report, a faint smile curled at the corner of Tang Qing’s lips.

After a moment, Tang Qing replied unhurriedly to the "little white flower" on the other end, "Okay."

The next day.

When Tang Qing arrived at the club, Tang Yi was already waiting at the entrance.

This was the first time she had seen the story's female lead since crossing over.

Just as described, her eyes were always clear like a young deer’s, and her expression carried a constant look of vulnerability.

The long-awaited figure finally appeared, and the "little white flower’s" pitiful eyes instantly lit up!

"Sister, you’re here!"

"Sister."

After being stripped of her status as the Tang family young mistress, the servants dropped their usual respectful forms of address—all except for Tang Yi.

As if completely unaware of the intentions behind Tang Junshan’s calling her "sister," every time she called out, it was completely sincere.

In a way, it’s no wonder Tang Yi is so well-liked.

She possesses total obliviousness.

Eleven short of a dozen brain cells, she’s nothing but genuine and straightforward.

“Sister, you came just in time! The coach already notified me to head to class.”

Nervous and fidgety, Tang Yi spotted a familiar face and instinctively shrank toward Tang Qing.

She even made a move to grab Tang Qing’s arm in a show of sisterly affection, but before she could, Tang Qing swiftly blocked her!

Tang Qing said sternly, “I’ve warned you before—don’t touch me casually.”

Tang Yi’s hands hung awkwardly in the air, but her disappointment lasted only a second!

The next moment, she perked up like an eager puppy!

“Got it!”

Then, from nowhere, Tang Yi produced two amulets—poorly made, clearly bought from a street vendor.

Yet she treated these little trinkets with complete seriousness, solemnly offering one to Tang Qing!

With a grave expression, Tang Yi said earnestly, “Sister, I paid a lot to have these blessed by a master!”

“They’re protection charms—they’re said to work really well.”

“With this… we definitely won’t get hurt in the sparring class later!”

Tang Qing made no move to take it and asked, “How much is ‘a lot’?”

“3,800.”

“Two amulets, on sale for 7,999.”

That math…

Confirmed, the little innocent really has not a thought in her head.

Tang Qing said flatly, “Only the weak need things like this.”

Her tone was calm, showing no emotion.

Tang Yi looked up and happened to meet her sister’s gaze—one that looked at her like she was trash!

She froze for a moment.

The next second—

Tang Yi actually tried to grab Lady Boss’s arm again!

Babbling excitedly, she said, “Wow! Sister, you were so awesome when you scolded me just now!”

Tang Qing: Suddenly didn’t feel like talking.

……

Tang Junshan arranged for Tang Yi to be trained by the club's top coach. As the coach turned around, fragmented memories surfaced from Tang Qing's inherited consciousness—this was someone familiar.

Someone she knew.

At the age of fifteen, the final opponent in her seven consecutive wins at the northern turf had been this very coach, Guan Shan.

After all these years, he too had been recruited by Tang Junshan and was now a member of the Shanhai Gang.

She vaguely sensed that the coach’s gaze toward her was far from friendly.

"Young Miss, today is our first fighting lesson."

"The first move I will teach you is the straight punch."

Coach Guan Shan was burly, his towering frame imposing like a small mountain, radiating an overwhelming presence.

The moment he spoke, Tang Yi instinctively recoiled, shrinking her neck.

"This is the right straight punch. The most crucial element when throwing a punch is explosive power!"

Guan Shan planted his back foot, demonstrating the motion—rotating his waist, driving with his shoulders, using the force from his shoulders to sharply propel his elbow as he threw a punch, with fierce momentum!

Tang Yi, standing opposite him, even felt as though she could sense the wind from his punch!

So scary!

The genuinely delicate little white rabbit shivered!

She moved even closer to Lady Boss's direction at the side of the mat...

"The punching motion for a straight punch must be fast, and the retraction must be just as quick."

"Keep your body slightly leaned forward; this makes it easier to dodge opponents' attacks."

So far, Guan Shan’s teaching had been pretty standard.

Until...

He decided to invite Tang Qing onto the mat for a demonstration.

"The one next to you, I heard from the President, is the Young Miss’s... bodyguard?"

"Could I ask this female bodyguard to step onto the mat as well?"

The moment Guan Shan spoke, his tone was full of mockery—just as expected!

Tang Qing’s hunch was right.

He was indeed targeting her.

Tang Qing: "What do you want?"

Guan Shan smirked, "Nothing much. Since this is the Young Miss’s first combat class, I thought... nothing would be more suitable than a real-life demonstration."

"The key of a straight punch is speed. We must show the Young Miss... what kind of speed is required in pro free fighting."

The moment Guan Shan's words hung in the air, Tang Yi was the first to protest!

"No way!"

"My sister is here to sit in on my class, not to work out with you. Why should she work out with you?"

This coach looks really built!

Intuition tells Tang Yi that if Lady Boss steps up, nothing good will come of it.

Unexpectedly, Guan Shan seemed to have been prepared all along, his smile growing even more smug!

He said, "Miss, in this matter..."

"I'm afraid you don't get a say."

"Before coming, the President specifically instructed that all teaching in the fighting class is my responsibility."

"That is to say, today... if I want her to come up, she will come up!"
