Chapter 13: Some Horses are Lifelong, Better Treat It Well
w.a.n.g Jian was woken from his daze by Gu Nan’s voice .
If he hadn’t been alerted, who knows how long he’d be staring .
He hurriedly greeted and said, “Sister is diligent and has made great breakthroughs, your future is unlimited . ”
Gu Nan rolled her eyes . As if he’d know how hard it was . At least standing and talking isn’t that bad .
Bai Qi leisurely walked out of the house . “Haha, Little Jian, don’t praise her any more . Since you’re here, I must trouble you to teach her your skills . ”
“I don’t dare . ” w.a.n.g Jian quickly bowed . “This is my responsibility and I shall put all my heart into it . ”
Although Lord Wu’an is of high rank and views him favorably, it is still necessary to respect the hierarchy and customs .
“Ha, kid . ” Bai Qi smiled slightly . “This is not a place for those lousy customs . ”
w.a.n.g Jian returned with a smile . He’s always been involved with court politics and the habit has since developed . Rather be safe than accidentally offend someone . Nodding with understanding, he said, “You are correct . ”
“Alright, don’t worry about it, let’s eat first . Um, and Nan, you can take a break . ”
“Clank . ”
The grip on the bronze sword loosened and it rattled against the ground .
Gu Nan also plopped down with a thud .
Her right arm was almost devoid of sensation, and both of them were shaking with no intention of stopping . Just from stabbing thousands of times, her muscles are so broken . Her body felt the urge to give out . But even this body doesn’t feel like her own .
Perhaps this is the urging of the soul .
She smiled and slowly rolled up her sleeves .
Her right wrist was red and swollen, as if given a severe lashing .
“Let this old man look . ”
She looked up and saw Ghost Valley already standing above her, touching his white beard .
He glanced and laughed slightly, “Nothing big . To anyone who learning the sword, the hand is the root of everything . It can’t be looked down upon . ”
Ghost Valley pointed his fingers out and placed them on her wrist . A feeling of soft warmth flowing through her arm and the redness retreated at a visible rate .
Internal Qi?
She felt the pleasant force flowing throughout her arm . Her eyes glittering in amazement .
Ghost Valley eventually let go of her, and her wrist was completely back to normal . Except for some soreness, there was nothing wrong .
Ghost Valley touched his beard again . “Girl, what are your thoughts on your master?”
“My life was saved by him . ”
He laughed, amused . “It’s something so simple?”
Unrolling her sleeve back down, Gu Nan naturally asked . “What other reason would there be?”
“Yes, yes . You’re right . ” Ghost Valley smiled . “But this troubled world is always more complicated . ”
After that, he patted her head, a confused expression still on her face . “Good, good . Continue with the sword . I’m excited to see what your sword may one day become . ”
He then turned and walked back indoors .
Now only Gu Nan sat alone in the courtyard .
————————————————————
Blackie was standing in his stall, snoring rhythmically . His pure black tail occasionally slapping the wooden walls .
Oh, and Blackie was that dark horse Gu Nan bought back . That day a dilemma arose and a new name was chosen out of impulse .
Oh, and Blackie was that dark horse Gu Nan bought back . That day a dilemma arose and a new name was chosen out of impulse .
At least Bai Qi thought Blackie was a more normal name than Dogs.h.i.t or something .
Ever since then, Blackie has lived a pretty good life, eating and drinking to his content . Because it was Gu Nan’s horse, Bai Qi treated it quite well . Even the gra.s.s he munched on was just delivered this morning .
After a while, Blackie got treatment even superior to Bai Qi’s horse .
Blackie shook his head, glancing at the entrance .
The reason is that someone was slyly walking over .
Gu Nan held a bundle of horse gra.s.s in her hand . She smiled and inched closer .
“Blackie~”
“Humph . ” Blackie snorted arrogantly .
Gu Nan wasn’t sure if it could understand her; but nevertheless, she grabbed a bundle of gra.s.s and handed it to the horse .
“I’ll tell you the truth, I felt that you were extraordinary the moment I saw you . Look at this physique, look at this coat color . How can this be something regular horses have? Don’t you think?”
Blackie although still looking at her with some contempt, lowered his head to munch off the offered gra.s.s . He was obviously pleased by this flattery . Gu Nan however only smiled .
“I’ve heard that riding horses is very challenging . ”
“I’ve heard that riding horses is very challenging . ”
The risk is high, especially for those inexperienced . The danger means death or permanent injury can occur at any moment .
In ancient times, falling off a horse could mean a lifetime of disabilities . In her eyes, horse riding is similar in danger to bullfighting .
She was only an ordinary employee in her previous life . It’s guaranteed for her to be nervous when dealing with large animals .
——————————————————————
Standing outside the stables, in the distance, w.a.n.g Jian looked at Gu Nan’s behavior and smiled .
Before training, it’s normal for some bonding time to increase familiarity . But who knew that she’d be talking to a horse?
Horse riding is the art of controlling horses . Even the best riders don’t know the hearts of horses .
Horses are not spiritual and are far from reaching that point .
So, Gu Nan’s behavior is…
A bit dumb .
After wiping the mild sweat off his forehead, w.a.n.g Jian turned to Bai Qi beside him . “Miss Gu is truly odd . ”
Bai Qi only sighed and didn’t say anything .
