Chapter 630 The King Returns! (Third Update)
Gu Jiao turned around and looked at the six scoundrels of Mingxin Hall with a calm expression: "What is it?"
The square-faced man walked towards her with a smile and said in a kind tone, "You're new to the academy, so you may not know this, but the horses in this stable are all the leftovers. The horses in the stable next door are the best ones. Would you like to try them out?"
"No," Gu Jiao said.
The square-faced man paused, then gave a mocking smile: "You're not scared, are you?"
Gu Jiao ignored him.
No, why is this person not playing by the rules?
However, as if God was helping them, the teacher of Gu Xiaoshun's class was temporarily rescheduled to teach the martial arts teacher's riding and archery class. As a result, there were not enough horses in the stable.
When the last horse was led away, Gu Jiao and several other students from Mingyue Hall had no choice but to go to the neighboring stable to choose their own horses.
The square-faced man frantically winked at his companion.
The group understood each other and secretly pulled open a railing, then used a hook to pull out the reins inside.
When only two horses remained in the enclosure, the square-faced man grabbed one of the reins: "I want this horse!"
He led away the brown horse.
Gu Jiao glanced at the last docile white horse, said nothing, and took the reins to walk away.
But after taking a few steps, she realized something was wrong.
The sound of horses' hooves is wrong!
What emerged was not the white horse, but a black horse that came out from the shadows.
There should have been a fence around the black horse area, but it was opened at some point.
The white horse trembled with fear, while the black horse, exuding a wild and murderous aura, slowly approached Gu Jiao like a king of ten thousand horses.
"Hahaha! Guess what happened to him? Did that horse kick him to death?!"
On the grass, a square-faced man laughed so hard he bent over.
That wasn't a horse suitable for teaching; it was an untamed wild horse king.
Wu Fuzi deliberately locked it up, depriving it of food and water, in order to dampen its spirit.
Otherwise, they will be very difficult to tame.
“But that horse king is so powerful, won’t it cause some deaths?” one of his companions said.
"Last time, when Master Wu tried to tame it, didn't it hurt him by throwing him?" another companion said.
“Even Master Wu is injured, so that frail Xiao Liulang will surely die a terrible death, won’t he? If he dies, will we be blamed?” the third companion said.
The square-faced man felt a pang of guilt upon hearing this, but quickly waved his hand, "How can you blame us? He was the one who pulled the rope! He was the one who opened the fence! Remember that! Besides, so what if someone dies? Who told him to be so arrogant? A lowly commoner from a lower kingdom made him think he was something special! Young Master Qingchen offered to sit with him, and he actually turned around and left! He doesn't even respect Young Master Qingchen, doesn't he need to be taught a lesson!"
The man with the triangular eyes said, "That's right! He deserves to be taught a lesson! Let him know that people from inferior countries should have some self-awareness, and not be so shameless!"
"What are you talking about! Who's going to die?"
Mu Qingchen's voice suddenly rang out behind them.
The men shuddered in fright and nearly threw the reins they were holding.
The six men turned around, leading their horses, and looked at Mu Qingchen riding on the Akhal-Teke horse. Their blood froze instantly.
"Speak!" Mu Qingchen shouted sharply.
Several people's legs went weak.
One of the students, Sun Peng, pointed at the square-faced man and said, "It was all...it was all Li Hongyi's idea! He was the one who told Xiao Liulang to go and challenge that Horse King!"
A murderous glint flashed in Mu Qingchen's eyes!
The square-faced man stammered, "I...I just saw how disrespectful he was to Young Master Qingchen, and I wanted to teach him a small lesson..."
Mu Qingchen glared coldly at the group, tightened the reins, turned around, and galloped towards the stable.
As he approached the stable, he saw Gu Jiao riding out on that untamable horse, the King of Horses.
He spurred his horse toward Gu Jiao, intending to grab her reins, but at that moment, a delicate voice suddenly called out beside him: "Fourth Brother!"
It's Su Xue!
Wearing a veil and lifting her pink skirt, Su Xue skipped excitedly toward Mu Qingchen.
She was completely unaware of the danger.
Gu Jiao's horse was about to burst out of the alleyway of the stable, and he was too late to save Su Xue.
There were blind spots in the alley, so Gu Jiao didn't see Su Xue, but she did see Su Xue's shadow cast on the grass.
She tried to tighten the reins, but with a snap, the reins broke, and the horse continued to run forward wildly and fiercely.
The horse reared up.
Just as Su Xue was about to be trampled into the mud, at the critical moment, Gu Jiao suddenly grabbed the horse's head and forcefully pulled the horse down onto the grass!
You know, this is the King of Horses!
Gu Jiao herself also fell down.
She rolled a few times to steady herself, knelt on one knee, supported herself with her right hand on the ground, and looked coldly at the horse king that had been thrown and was still untamed.
Horse King stood up and stomped towards Gu Jiao and Su Xue!
Gu Jiao grabbed its mane, flipped it over again, and threw it onto the grass once more!
She herself fell down again!
The horse stood up, and she got up too.
She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and curled her lips into a wicked smile: "You, I'm going to have you."
Su Xue blushed.
This lecherous scoundrel, what nonsense is he spouting?
Who have you decided on?
Gu Jiao couldn't remember how many times she had fallen off the horse while holding it. The ferocity and arrogance in the horse king's eyes gradually faded, but making it submit was not so easy.
It seemed to be waiting for Gu Jiao to use up all her strength. After all, everyone who had tried to tame it eventually exhausted themselves before it. Otherwise, Master Wu wouldn't have wanted to starve it for a few days first.
It had only been hungry for half a day and was full of energy.
Strangely, this boy, despite being exhausted, always managed to unleash astonishing fighting power.
The boy seemed to have an indomitable will in his bones!
More and more people gathered around to watch. Wu Fuzi stared in disbelief at the wolf-like boy, deeply shocked.
The last time I was so shocked was more than ten years ago.
The sons of the Xuanyuan family showed him what true wolf-like nature was.
In the end, the young wolf defeated the wild horse king, who, panting, obediently submitted to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao was also nearing her end, but she knew this was a test from the horse king. If she couldn't mount the horse, she would never have a second chance to tame it!
She gripped the horse's mane tightly.
Su Xue looked at her trembling body, her heart tightened, and she looked at Mu Qingchen: "Fourth Brother..."
Mu Qingchen gestured for her to calm down.
Everyone held their breath, wondering if the battered and bruised Gu Jiao could still ride on the horse king.
Gu Jiao licked the blood from the corner of her lips, smiled wickedly, and nimbly mounted her horse!
The horse king let out a long neigh of complete submission.
The boy tamed the horse king, and the grassland erupted in cheers and jubilation. Everyone felt their blood surging, and even the martial arts master's eyes shone with excitement!
The men of Xuanyuan are all gone; there will be no more wolf-like youths.
But Wu Fuzi wanted to say that he had seen a new wolf! A young wolf that was destined to become the wolf king!
...
The price of taming the horse king was terrible.
Gu Jiao could no longer attend classes, so Master Wu told her to go back to her dormitory first: "Can one of you take him home?"
“I’ll take him,” Mu Qingchen said.
Mu Qingchen led the limping Gu Jiao back to the South Courtyard.
Su Xue followed suit.
"What are you doing here?" Mu Qingchen asked at the entrance of the South Campus. "This is the men's dormitory."
“Anyway, there’s nobody here!” Su Xue said.
"Did we go to the wrong place?" Gu Jiao asked, looking at the scenery in the courtyard.
Su Xue said, "You haven't gone to the wrong place, this is the South Campus!"
Gu Jiao expressed her doubts: "Is this for people from the lower kingdoms to live in? How can it be so luxurious? Is the plaque on the pavilion made of real gold?"
Su Xue said, "How could it be for people from lower-class countries? The South Courtyard is only for people from higher-class countries!"
Gu Jiao asked curiously, "Then how did I end up living here?"
“Oh, I forgot you’re from a lower country,” Su Xue said.
Su Xue was an arrogant and rude person, but she wasn't ungrateful. Deep down, she did look down on people from lower countries, but Xiao Liulang's behavior today was completely unexpected.
Not only did he save her, but he also tamed the horse king, which even the martial arts champion couldn't tame. This young man earned her respect with his strength.
She decided that from now on, she would allow him to be her equal!
She said, "Actually, another student from another country moved into my dorm. She's also a new student who just arrived. She's quite good-looking, just a little bit less attractive than me!"
Okay, she's way prettier than her!
She had never seen such a beautiful person in her entire life!
On her very first day, she outshone Gu Chengcheng, the most beautiful girl in their academy!
She made it onto the list of beauties of six kingdoms on the third day!
Su Xue became increasingly jealous and started nitpicking: "However, she's a bit too tall. It's hard for a woman who's too tall to find a husband. Besides, she's mute and has a little black baby to take care of!"
In a dormitory at Canglan Girls' Academy, a big kid and a little kid sneezed at the same time!
Gu Jiao doesn't like chatting much, but Su Xue and Zhong Ding are both easy to talk to.
Su Xue continued to say to Gu Jiao, "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Su Xue. Since you saved me today, I will not hold what happened at the post station last time against you!"
Mu Qingchen said calmly, "Last time, didn't you hit someone first, and then you were outmatched and fell down on your own? Who's really not going to hold a grudge?"
Su Xue choked.
Gu Jiao looked at Mu Qingchen, then at Su Xue: "You call him Fourth Brother, so what kind of siblings are you?"
Su Xue said, "We're siblings!"
Gu Jiao asked in confusion, "Then why is your surname Su and his surname Mu?"
"I took my mother's surname," Mu Qingchen said casually.
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
Gu Jiao only realized she hadn't brought her key when she arrived at the dormitory entrance.
"I have."
Mu Qingchen took out a key from the brocade pouch and opened the door with a nonchalant air.
Gu Jiao frowned and glanced at him: "Why do you have a key to my dorm room?"
Mu Qingchen said calmly, "Because this is also my dormitory."
Gu Jiao: "...!!"
Gu Jiao had never stayed here before, and Mu Qingchen seemed to have never stayed here either. They thought the place would be empty, but they were surprised to find that it was fully furnished with soft bedding, all of the highest quality.
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow: "Both beds are made up. You're quite considerate of your roommate, Young Master Qingchen."
Now that things have developed to this point, it would be unreasonable for Gu Jiao not to have guessed it.
It must be that Mu Qingchen saw her using silver needles to save Su Xue that night, so Mu Qingchen gave her a series of backdoors.
Thankfully, it was just to repay a debt of gratitude; I almost thought this guy had homosexual tendencies and was interested in her.
Gu Jiao took out a bottle of wound medicine from her purse.
Su Xue said, "Let me apply the medicine for you!"
"He is a man," Mu Qingchen reminded him, frowning.
Su Xue scratched a strand of hair at her temple and lowered her eyes, saying, "Oh."
Mu Qingchen said to Su Xue, "You go out first, I'll apply the medicine for him."
Gu Jiao said, "Both of you get out! I can apply the medicine myself!"
joke.
I can't show it to Su Xue, so why should I let you see it?
Mu Qingchen himself was not used to having outsiders close to him, so he did not suspect anything. He thought for a moment and said, "Or, I can call your younger brother over."
Gu Jiao said seriously, "No need! Let him attend class! I'll do it myself! It's not that serious!"
Su Xue was too shy to leave, so Mu Qingchen, not intending to force Gu Jiao, also got up and left.
But just as he turned around, he suddenly looked at the pool of blood on Gu Jiao's bed and said, "You said you weren't seriously injured! You're bleeding!"
Gu Jiao had several abrasions and bloodstains, but to say how much blood had flowed...
Gu Jiao followed his gaze and looked closely.
That's not an injury.
It's her period!
Gu Jiao cleared her throat and said seriously, "This is not an injury."
Mu Qingchen looked at her intently, as if trying to discern the truth in her words.
After a long pause, he realized something, and his eyes flickered: "You..."
Gu Jiao sighed, realizing that her true identity as a woman had been exposed.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Mu Qingchen's face: "I'll go get you some medicine. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Mu Qingchen must have been running at top speed, because he returned in no time.
He coughed lightly and awkwardly handed the medicine bottle to Gu Jiao: "You...you do it yourself."
Do you need medication for menstrual cramps?
Who would have thought that this seemingly irritating Mu Qingchen is actually such a warm-hearted guy?
"many--"
Before she could finish saying thank you, Gu Jiao noticed three large, eye-catching characters on the bottle: Hemorrhoid Cream.
Gu Jiao: "...!!"
It's past midnight! Don't waste your monthly tickets, cast them now if you haven't already.
