Early the next morning, Zhang He and his three friends arrived at the West Market's racetrack an hour earlier, but Zhao Yao had not shown up. Just as Song Jicai and his friends thought Zhao Yao was afraid and had bailed at the last minute, Zhao Yao arrived with Ding Shan and the others.
"Little one, you really dared to come, huh!"
"We thought you were scared and wouldn't come!"
"The fact that you didn't run counts as being brave."
"This little one keeps his word, that's something."
"Running away from a challenge is the behavior of a coward," Zhao Yao said, "Besides, why would I run?"
"Little one, we won't take advantage of you," Chu Huan looked at Zhao Yao and his group, "You can let any one of yours compete with any one of us in horse riding and archery."
"No need, I'll compete with you guys myself." None of Tong Xi and his friends were good at riding and archery. Despite Tong Xi being good at martial arts, he had never properly learned riding and archery.
"Are you sure?"
