The next morning, after having breakfast, Wufu and the others, heeding the repeated warnings from the Farmstead to beware of fierce beasts, headed up the mountain with their bows and arrows.
The group ventured into the mountain, startling birds to take flight. Animals with an acute sense of danger scattered in all directions, yet some still fell into the hands of Wufu and his companions.
"Xiao Qi, keep your hand steady, calm your mind, and learn to discern position by listening to the wind." Wufu instructed Xiao Qi in using the bow and arrow.
Ah Jiu crossed his arms, watching Wufu correct Xiao Qi's posture, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You're really good to him!"
"Yes, just like that." Wufu corrected Xiao Qi, then snorted at Ah Jiu's words, "Of course, he's one of my people, naturally, I have to treat him well."
"I hope he lives up to your teachings!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi turned his head, glaring at Ah Jiu, seemingly displeased with the remark.
