Gu Jiao turned around and looked calmly at the six contemptible guests from Mingxin Hall, "What's the matter?"

Square-face walked towards her with a smile and spoke kindly, "You're new here at the academy and might not know, but the horses in this stable are the ones nobody wanted. The horses in the stable next door are the really good ones. Would you like to go and try them out?"

"No." Gu Jiao answered.

Square-face was momentarily taken aback, then sneered, "You’re not scared, are you?"

Gu Jiao ignored him.

Seriously, why won’t this guy follow the standard script!

However, it seemed as if even fate was on their side. The instructor for Gu Xiaoshun's class had to reschedule, so his class came to attend Teacher Wu's equestrian archery class as well. As a result, there weren't enough horses in the stable.

When the last horse was taken, Gu Jiao and a few other students from Mingyue Hall had to go to the neighboring stable to choose horses.

Square-face signaled frantically to his companions.

A few people exchanged glances and quietly pulled open a section of the fence, using a hook to retrieve the reins inside.

When there were only two horses left in the pen, Square-face grabbed one of the reins and declared, "I want this horse!"

He then led away the brown horse.

Gu Jiao looked at the remaining gentle white horse, said nothing, and took hold of its reins to lead it out.

But as she took a few steps, something felt wrong.

The sound of hooves was off!

The horse that came out was not the white one but a black one emerging from the shadows.

There should have been a fence there, but it had been opened at some point.

The white horse trembled with fear, while the black horse exuded a wild and murderous aura, like a king among horses, slowly approaching Gu Jiao.

"Hahaha! Can you guess what’s happening to him now? Is he getting kicked to death by that horse?"

On the field, Square-face was laughing so hard he was bent over.

That horse wasn't suitable to be used for class; it was a wild horse king that had yet to be tamed.

Teacher Wu had purposely kept it locked up, without food or drink, to break its spirit.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to tame.

"But, that horse king is so fierce, won’t it cause a fatal accident?" One companion asked.

"Last time, Teacher Wu tried to tame it, didn’t he get thrown and injured?" Another companion said.

"If even Teacher Wu got hurt, that frail Xiao Liulang would be in a miserable state, right? If he dies, will we be blamed for it?" The third companion asked.

Square-face felt guilty when he heard this, but quickly waved his hand and said, "How could it be blamed on us? He was the one who went to grab the reins! He was also the one who opened the fence! You all remember that! Besides, so what if someone dies? Who asked him to be so arrogant? A lowly person from a lower state like him really thinks he's something after getting some favor! Young Master Qingchen voluntarily sat with him, and he just turned and walked away! He doesn't even respect Young Master Qingchen, doesn't he need a lesson?"

"What are you talking about! Who’s going to die?"

Mu Qingchen's voice suddenly rang behind them.

The few of them were so scared that they almost threw the reins in their hands.

The six people turned around, leading their horses, and looked at Mu Qingchen who was riding on an extraordinary horse. All the blood in their bodies froze instantly.

"Speak!" Mu Qingchen thundered.

The group's legs went weak.

One of the students, named Sun Peng, pointed at the square-faced guy and said with a stutter, "It’s... it was all Li Hongyi's idea! He's the one who wanted Xiao Liulang to pick the horse king!"

A flash of murderous look suddenly appeared in Mu Qingchen's eyes.

Square-face trembled as he said, "I... I only wanted to teach him a small lesson because he was being very disrespectful to Young Master Qingchen…”

Mu Qingchen glared coldly at the few of them, tightened the reins, turned sharply, and suddenly headed towards the stable.

As he was about to reach the stable, he saw Gu Jiao riding out on the untamable horse king.

He urged his horse towards Gu Jiao, intending to seize Gu Jiao's reins, but just then, a delicate voice suddenly called out, "Fourth brother!"

It was Su Xue!

Su Xue, wearing a veil and carrying the hem of her pink dress, ran towards Mu Qingchen cheerfully.

She was completely unaware of the danger.

Gu Jiao's horse was about to rush out of the narrow alley of the stable, and there was no way he could save Su Xue in time.

There was a blind spot in the alley, so Gu Jiao couldn't see Su Xue, but she saw Su Xue's shadow cast on the grass.

She tried to tighten the reins, but with a snap, the reins broke. The horse, still wild and ferocious, continued to charge forward.

The horse reared up on its hind legs.

Just as it was about to trample Su Xue into the ground, in the nick of time, Gu Jiao suddenly grabbed the horse's head, forcefully pulling it down onto the grass!

This was no ordinary horse; it was the king of horses!

Gu Jiao herself fell down as well.

She rolled several times to steady herself, ending up on one knee, her right hand braced against the ground. She coldly stared at the still unyielding horse king.

The horse king stood up and charged fiercely towards Gu Jiao and Su Xue!

But Gu Jiao grabbed its mane, flipped onto its back again, and once more threw it down onto the grass!

She fell down once more!

The horse stood up, and she got up too.

She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, a wicked smile tugging at her lips, "You, I am determined to have you."

Su Xue blushed.

This scoundrel, what nonsense was he talking about?

Who was he determined to have?

Gu Jiao couldn't remember how many times she had fallen off while trying to bring down the horse. The fierceness and wildness in the horse king's eyes gradually faded, but it wasn't easy to subdue it.

It seemed to be waiting for Gu Jiao to exhaust all her strength. After all, everyone who had tried to tame it had eventually worn out before it did. Otherwise, Teacher Wu wouldn't have suggested starving it for a few days first.

It had only been half a day since it was starved, so it was still full of energy.

But strangely, although this young man was exhausted, he always managed to unleash astonishing combat power.

There seemed to be an unyielding spirit in the young man's bones!

Gradually, more and more people gathered around to watch. Teacher Wu couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at this wolf-like young man, deeply shaken to his core.

The last time he had been so shaken was over a decade ago.

The young men of the Xuanyuan Family showed him what true wolf-like nature was.

In the end, the young wolf defeated the wild horse king. The horse king gasped for breath and obediently submitted to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao was also nearly spent, but she knew this was a test from the horse king. If she couldn't mount the horse, she wouldn't have a second chance to tame it!

She grabbed onto the mane tightly.

Su Xue looked at her trembling body, her heart tightened, and she glanced at Mu Qingchen, “Fourth brother…”

Mu Qingchen signaled for her to stay calm.

Everyone held their breath, wanting to know if the severely injured Gu Jiao could mount the horse king.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
