What did "living long enough to see everything" mean?
It definitely referred to watching the Tianqiong Academy"s polo match.
They never knew a polo match could be played like this!
The first match was already eye-opening when they saw a certain someone use Xu Ping"s technique to defeat Xu Ping, but today was even more astonishing.
Many of them came to witness the elegance of Shengdu"s number one young master, Mu Qingchen, but they were completely sidetracked by that new student.
In the previous match, they were also sidetracked by him.
This really did verify the saying——what kind of polo player raises what kind of horse.
The polo player was unusual, and so was his horse!
By the end, the people from Pingyang Academy were completely out of sorts. It was one thing for their horses to be scared off, but being lured away by that guy’s horse was even more terrifying, right?
Han Che tightened the reins, yelling, "No! Stop! Stop! Ho—"
The "ho" command didn"t work anymore; all the Black Wind Cavalry horses continued to follow the horse king.
The horse king ran forward with its big mouth open, panting heavily.
——Come on! I’ll take you all flying!
The players of Tianqiong Academy couldn"t bear to watch anymore, this guy is not our teammate!
The people in the stands were laughing so hard their stomachs hurt.
Those who didn’t understand horses would think this horse was incredible. Those who truly understood would realize that while the horse was remarkable, the person who could completely control it was even more impressive.
In a pavilion on the eastern side of the stands, draped with beaded curtains, a man dressed in a dark, wide-sleeved robe sat properly, drinking tea. Slightly behind him to his right kneeled a man dressed in official attire.
"Who is that kid? He hasn’t fallen off despite the horse running like that?" asked the man in dark robes.
The man in the official attire respectfully replied, "Your Highness, I have seen this person before. He is a cla.s.smate of Mu Qingchen, reportedly from a lower state. He"s a smooth talker and once pretended to be a physician to scam the Duke Estate."
The man in the dark robe said, "Is he the quack physician Mu Qingchen brought to the Duke An Estate you mentioned last time?"
The man in the official attire answered, "Yes, it"s him."
If Gu Jiao were here, she would surely recognize this person as Lord Shao, who was responsible for capturing the a.s.sa.s.sin from the Crown Prince Estate back then.
He had a grudge against Mu Qingchen, and upon learning that Gu Jiao had used Mu Qingchen"s token to enter the inner city brothel, he decisively came over to make things difficult for Mu Qingchen using her.
It was also because of him that Gu Jiao openly visited the Duke Estate.
The man in the dark robe thoughtfully said, "This person seems to have some skills. Don’t let your grudge against Mu Qingchen cloud your judgment."
Lord Shao lowered his eyes. "Your Highness is absolutely right; that kid’s riding skills are indeed impressive."
The implication was that Gu Jiao"s medical skills were indeed fake and that her scam at the Duke Estate was not a false accusation against Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen.
The man in the dark robe seemed genuinely interested in the kid. Lord Shao was very worried that he would ask for the kid’s name, as he didn"t want anyone close to Mu Qingchen getting near His Highness.
However, the man in the dark robe just picked up the cup on the table, took a gentle sip of tea, and asked nothing more.
The match ended with a score of twelve to twenty-seven, with Tianqiong Academy scoring twenty-seven, setting a new record for polo match scores.
Han Che"s statement, "In the second half, I won"t let you score even a single goal," did come true, but it was true for their own team.
The dean of Pingyang Academy was sitting next to Dean Cen. His face was also not looking good at the moment. He sneered and said, "Tianqiong Academy has quite the skills, bringing in such a mad horse just for this match?"
Dean Cen smiled and said meaningfully, "Oh? That statement is incorrect. When it comes to finding horses, Tianqiong Academy is not even half as good as Pingyang Academy. You found four Black Wind Cavalry horses, and we were forced to use an untrained backup horse because we had no other choice."
The dean of Pingyang Academy almost spat blood.
An untrained horse was already this fierce? What would happen if it was trained, would it fly?
No need to show off like that!
The Han Family was ranked among the top four n.o.ble families in the capital. Gu Jiao"s horse completely crushed the Han Family"s Black Wind Cavalry horses, and by the end of the match, her reputation soared.
Han Che intended to step on Mu Qingchen to rise, but ended up being stepped on by Gu Jiao. One could imagine how much blood Han Che would spit upon returning.
There were still five matches to go, with a break of one hour after the fourth match, and continuing in the afternoon.
"Change your clothes and go watch the next matches later. Among them, there may be our next opponents." Teacher Wu said to everyone.
Everyone nodded and took their bundles to change clothes.
There was only one room. As usual, Gu Jiao let others change first. Everyone just thought she was shy and embarra.s.sed, without further suspicion.
After all, Mu Qingchen never changed clothes in the same room with others either.
"You go first." Mu Qingchen said to Gu Jiao when there were only the two of them left.
"Okay." Gu Jiao went into the room.
Click.
It was the sound of the door being bolted.
Mu Qingchen: "..."
After changing clothes, the group went to Tianqiong Academy"s stands. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun sat next to Dean Cen, their cheeks flushed from the sun. Gu Jiao found them very cute.
No matter how old his younger brothers were, they were always cute to her.
As soon as Gu Jiao arrived, Gu Xiaoshun automatically gave up his seat for her.
He was always sensible, never competing with anyone for Gu Jiao"s attention. Besides, sitting on Gu Jiao"s other side was fine for him; he never had the urge to monopolize her.
Gu Yan was in a wheelchair, and Gu Jiao was sitting on a mat, slightly shorter than him.
Everyone at Tianqiong Academy knew that "Xiao Liulang" was Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun"s future brother-in-law, but why "future"? It was mainly to avoid any a.s.sociation with Xiao Heng, keeping their ident.i.ties separate.
As for why they didn"t avoid it altogether, it was because they didn"t initially know that "Gu Jiao" was also coming, and Gu Xiaoshun had already called Gu Jiao brother-in-law many times.
Now, everyone present knew that Gu Jiao had a fiancee in the State of Zhao.
Such situations were not unusual. Both Yuan Xiao and Zhao Wei had fiancees, one arranged from birth and the other betrothed three years ago.
"Fourth brother!"
Suddenly, Su Xue appeared wearing a pink academy uniform and a veil.
Su Xue had bright and beautiful eyes, as well as a graceful figure, and the veil couldn"t hide her charming beauty. Even Zhao Wei and Yuan Xiao, who had fiancees already, couldn"t help but be amazed.
Soon after, they were charmed by the little dark kid following her.
The little guy was deep tanned in complexion but his small face was incredibly cute, with delicate features that were unbelievably refined. Especially those big blinking eyes, they were so expressive as if they could speak on their own.
His eyelashes were long too; he was like a little eyelash fairy.
Dean Cen recognized the little one and smiled, waving at him, "Jing Kong is here?"
"h.e.l.lo, Uncle Dean." Little Jing Kong greeted politely.
Dean Cen introduced him to Mu Qingchen and the others, "You watched the last game from the pavilion and didn"t come over. You don"t know him. He"s the little prodigy from Lingbo Academy, named Jing Kong."
"h.e.l.lo, big brothers." Little Jing Kong cupped his hands and bowed.Raz P."s Thoughts

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 succ.u.mb 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…
