The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1294 - 1294 630 The Kings Return (Third Update)

Chapter 1294: 630 The King’s Return! (Third Update) Chapter 1294: 630 The King’s Return! (Third Update) Gu Jiao turned around, her expression indifferent as she faced the six despicable guests of Mingxin Hall, “Is there something?”

The man with the square face walked towards her with a smile, speaking amicably, “You are new to the Academy and might not know that the horses in this stable have been picked over by others. The horses in the next stable are the top-quality ones, do you want to try one out?”

“No,” Gu Jiao said.

The square-faced man was taken aback and then sneered mockingly, “Are you scared?”

Gu Jiao ignored him.

How come this person isn’t playing by the rules?

However, perhaps even the heavens were helping them, as the teacher for Gu Xiaoshun’s class had rescheduled, coming to join the martial arts teacher’s Horse Archery Class instead. As a result, there were not enough horses in the stable.

When the last horse was led away, Gu Jiao and a few other students from Mingyue Hall could only go to the neighboring stable to choose a horse.

The man with the square face made frantic eye signals to his companions.

Understanding his intention, they sneakily opened a certain pen and hooked out the bridle with a hook.

When there were only two horses left in the pen, the square-faced man grabbed one of the reins, “I’ll take this horse!”

He led away the brown horse.

Gu Jiao looked at the docile white horse that was left, said nothing, and led it out by its reins.

But after walking a few steps, she sensed that something was off.

The sound of the horse’s hooves was strange!

The horse that came out was not the white horse, but a black horse that emerged from the shadows.

There should have been a rail where the black horse was, but it had been opened at some point.

The white horse shivered in fear, while the black horse, with a wild and murderous aura, walked slowly towards Gu Jiao as if it was a king among ten thousand horses.

“Hahaha! What do you think has happened to him now? Was he kicked to death by that horse?”

On the grassland, the square-faced man laughed uproariously.

That wasn’t a horse fit for lessons at all, but an untamed king of horses.

The martial arts teacher had specifically locked it up, starving it of food and drink, in order to break its spirit.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to tame.

“But with such a fierce horse, could it be causing a fatality?” one companion asked.

“Didn’t the martial arts teacher try to tame it last time and got thrown off and injured?” another added.

“If even the martial arts teacher was injured, that frail Xiao Liulang is going to die a terrible death, right? If he dies, won’t the blame fall on us?” a third companion asked.

Feeling guilty, the man with the square face quickly waved his hand dismissively, “How could the blame fall on us? He was the one who went to pull the reins! And he was the one who opened the pen! Remember that, all of you! Besides, even if it leads to a fatality, what then? Who asked him to be so arrogant? A lowly person from a subject nation thinks he’s something after getting a bit of attention! Young Master Qingchen tried to sit with him, and he just turned and walked away! He doesn’t even regard Young Master Qingchen, does he need to be taught a lesson!”

Triangular-eyed man: “Exactly! He needs to be taught a severe lesson! He should know his place as a person from a subject nation, and not be ungrateful for the face given to him!”

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

The voice of Mu Qingchen suddenly rang out from behind them.

Frightened, the group of men shuddered, nearly throwing the reins they held onto.

All six men turned with their horses to face Mu Qingchen, who was riding on a majestic horse, their blood running cold.

“Speak!” Mu Qingchen barked.

The legs of the men grew weak.

One of the students named Sun Peng pointed at the man with the square face and stuttered, “It was… it was all Li Hongyi’s idea! He wanted Xiao Liulang to pick the king of the horses!”

A surge of murderous intent flashed in Mu Qingchen’s eyes!

The square-faced man’s voice trembled, “I… I was just thinking he was disrespectful to Young Master Qingchen, and wanted to teach him a small lesson…”

Mu Qingchen glared coldly at them, grabbed tightly onto the reins, turned around, and galloped towards the stable.

As he neared the stable, he saw Gu Jiao riding out on the untameable horse king.

He spurred his horse forward to grab Gu Jiao’s reins, but at that moment, a delicate and melodious voice called out, “Fourth brother!”

It was Su Xue!

Wearing a veil and holding the hem of her pink skirt, Su Xue scampered towards Mu Qingchen with no knowledge of the danger ahead.

Gu Jiao’s horse was about to burst out from the passageway of the stable, and he had no chance to save Su Xue in time.

There was a blind spot in the passageway, and Gu Jiao did not see Su Xue, but she saw Su Xue’s shadow cast on the grassland.

She tried to pull the reins tight, but with a snap, the reins broke, and the horse continued to run forward, wild and vicious.
