But before her hand touched Ye Xingchen, a big hand grabbed her wrist, and Nangong Wei turned pale with pain.

“Who dares to meddle in other people’s business—” Nangong Wei was about to start scolding, but when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she was completely shocked: “Regent, Regent?”

Cang Boyi shook her hand off in disdain: "Miss Ye was brought here by me, and I will never allow anyone to hurt her, not even a strand of her hair!"

The cold and domineering voice was extremely intimidating.

Nangong Wei turned pale with fright. Cang Boyi's powerful aura made her dare not say another word, but she was more unwilling than willing.

Why, why can Ye Xingchen be protected like this by the Regent, but I can't.

In fact, Nangong Wei is of noble status and has both talent and beauty. Over the years, the men pursuing her can line up for several streets, and Gu Beimo is one of them.

But her standards were too high and she looked down on everyone else. She felt that only the Regent was worthy of her in this world.

But the Regent is more terrifying than the King of Hell, and he never gets close to women. Nangong Wei only thought about it in her mind and did not dare to get close to the Regent.

It would be fine if the Regent had never been interested in women, but today he was targeting her because of Ye Xingchen, and Nangong Wei was furious.

"Regent, please calm down. Weiwei is ignorant, so please don't bother with her. She is not a bad person by nature, but has been spoiled since she was a child. I will apologize to Miss Ye on her behalf.

Miss Ye, I'm sorry, Weiwei always chooses this white horse every time she comes, so there is a misunderstanding, please don't be angry, Miss Ye." Gu Beimo said humbly.

"Do you think you can hit people just because you are spoiled? This is not the prince's mansion, no one will spoil you. Fortunately, Miss Ye is fine today, otherwise I would break the hand you used to hit Miss Ye. Since the prince's uncle can't discipline his daughter, I don't mind doing it for him!" Cang Boyi was merciless and every word he said was precious.

Nangong Wei was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground instantly. Gu Beimo wanted to hold her back, but it was too late.

"Weiwei, are you okay?"

"I, I'm fine. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't know Miss Ye was with you. If I had known, I would definitely not say that to her." Nangong Wei suppressed her anger and admitted her mistake.

Cang Boyi ignored her and looked at Ye Xingchen: "She offended you, you decide how to deal with her?"

"Please show mercy, Miss Ye!" Gu Beimo pleaded immediately.

Su Ruoan and Zhan Bai felt relieved watching this. Nangong Wei was so arrogant just now, and now she was so frustrated. She deserved it.

Ye Xingchen gave Nangong Wei a cold look and said, "I'm in a good mood today. How about I race horses with Miss Nangong? Regardless of whether we win or lose, I won't bother with you about this matter today."

"Okay." Cang Boyi agreed.

"Thank you Miss Ye for your kindness." Gu Beimo said gratefully.

Nangong Wei's eyes lit up with joy. She was one of the best horse riders among the women, and she had never heard that Ye Xingchen could ride a horse before. If she could beat her, it would be just right for the Regent to look at her with new eyes.

"Okay, but I want to choose the white horse." Nangong Wei said.

"Okay, since it's horse racing, there has to be a prize. How about we bet 10,000 or 20,000? If you beat me, I'll give you 10,000 taels. If I win, you'll also give me 10,000 taels?" Ye Xingchen asked.

Nangong Wei frowned. If she rode the Regent's horse, she would definitely not win.

So Nangong Wei asked: "Which horse do you choose?"

Ye Xingchen took a look at the untamed black horse and said, "I choose it."

Cang Boyi frowned and said, "Do you want to change one? My horse is right behind you. Can you use my horse?"

He was also worried that Ye Xingchen would get hurt. After all, untamed horses can be very fierce.

Ye Xingchen shook his head: "No need."

"Miss Ye, why don't you think about it again? Horse racing is no trivial matter. If you get injured, you will either die or be disabled," Xue Yanxi reminded in a low voice.

"Yes, Miss Ye, actually we don't need that ten thousand taels. The Regent has plenty of money. Your life is more important." Su Ruoan agreed.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I like this horse more." Ye Xingchen refused.

Nangong Wei was secretly delighted: "If you choose this horse, then I will promise you that we can decide the winner in one round, how about that?"

"Okay, then let's ask the Regent and Mr. Gu to be witnesses." Ye Xingchen suggested.

Seeing Ye Xingchen's determination and confidence, Cang Boyi said nothing more: "Okay, I will testify for you."

"I'll testify too." Gu Beimo agreed.

To be honest, he was not worried about Nangong Wei at all, because he often came to ride horses with Nangong Wei and knew her riding skills very well.

Ye Xingchen was uneducated and good for nothing before. If she had used the Regent's horse, she might have won, but she chose an untamed one.

I really don’t know whether Ye Xingchen wants to show off or just be tough, but in any case, Weiwei is sure to win this round.

The servant led the horses to the starting point of the racecourse in front. The white horse was given to Nangong Wei, and the black horse was given to Ye Xingchen.

"Su Ruoan, can Miss Ye ride a horse?" Zhan Bai, who had been silent, asked.

Su Ruoan shook her head: "It doesn't seem so. After all, she was useless before and could only chase after King Mo."

"Regent, are you really not going to stop her? What if Miss Ye gets hurt?" Zhan Bai asked.

Cang Boyi looked at Ye Xingchen with his deep eyes, and saw her walk towards the black horse and say something in its ear, then jump on the horse.

"Since she chose the dark horse, she must have her reasons. I believe in him and ask the doctor to wait immediately. If there is really an accident, go over and treat it immediately." Cang Boyi said dimly.

"yes."

Meanwhile, Nangong Wei got on the horse with a smug look on her face: "Ye Xingchen, is it too late for you to admit defeat now?"

"Why should I admit defeat? You'd better prepare 10,000 taels." Ye Xingchen said disdainfully.

"Humph, it's still unclear who will win or lose."

"We'll see."

The servant came over and said, "You two horses go around the flag in front. Whoever's horse comes back first wins. Are you ready?"

"Okay." Nangong Wei said proudly.

"I'm fine too." Ye Xingchen replied.

"Okay, I'll count to three, two, one, and start!" As the servant said start, the two men's horses rushed out like arrows.

The people watching nearby all stared with eyes wide open, afraid that they would miss this wonderful scene.

At the beginning, Nangong Wei's horse was indeed in the lead. She was very proud of herself and even deliberately did a head-over-heels on the horse's back to show off her riding skills.

After all, the white horse has been tamed, is docile, and has been ridden many times, so Nangong Wei is very experienced, so she is determined to get it.

Ye Xingchen just looked at him coldly and ignored him. He looked at the flag in front of him and calculated the distance and speed in his mind.

"Regent, Miss Ye's horse is much slower. Will she lose?" Su Ruoan looked worried.
