Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

“Gauze.” Gu Jiao said.

Xiao Heng effortlessly picked up a piece of gauze and handed it to her.

Meanwhile, outside the room, Mu Ruxin and the physician from Lingbo Academy were also working together to treat a patient’s injuries. They worked seamlessly, exchanging items and assisting each other without any gender barriers.

However, for some reason, Mu Qingchen felt that the atmosphere around Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng was different from that around Mu Ruxin and the physician.

It was an indescribable feeling.

The tightly controlled information did not affect the four matches scheduled for the afternoon.

By the time the matches ended, all the rescue efforts here had been successfully completed.

Both Songshan Academy and Zilin Academy had their qualifications for the upcoming matches revoked due to rule violations.

Most of the injured were from Lingbo Academy, with a few people from other academies injured during scuffles or rescue efforts.

The three deans expressed their gratitude to Gu Jiao and Mu Ruxin, especially highlighting Gu Jiao’s remarkable performance, which had truly impressed them.

Mu Ruxin felt her spotlight had been stolen by a fraudulent quack. She believed that in a few days, when the patients’ conditions worsened, everyone would realize who the true disciple of a divine healer was.

She replied to them, “Thank you, deans, but it’s just my duty. Nothing worth mentioning.”

Gu Jiao, on the other hand, handed three bills to the three deans, “Medical fees, pay now, no credit.”

The three deans: “…”

The dean of Lingbo Academy cleared his throat lightly, taking the longest bill, “Of course, of course!”

Mu Ruxin mocked, “Ha, Young Master Xiao, a physician’s heart should be benevolent. How can you charge for treating a few patients? Don’t be so stingy.”

Gu Jiao directly handed the remaining two bills to her, “If you’re so generous, you pay for these then.”

Mu Ruxin was at a loss for words.

Gu Jiao only charged for her services. Whether Mu Ruxin and the other physician wanted to settle their fees was their business.

As for Xiao Heng’s presence at the scene, it didn’t raise suspicions, especially since Su Xue also arrived later.

It was just, with the scene so busy, Su Xue had stayed outside and only realized later that Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng had been in the same room.

However, knowing everyone was focused on saving patients, suspicions were quickly dismissed.

The area was crowded with people inside and outside, and Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng maintained the appearance of strangers throughout, not exchanging even a single glance.

The deans also expressed their gratitude to Xiao Heng, Su Xue, and Mu Qingchen.

Mu Qingchen said to Gu Jiao, “Let’s go.” Then to Su Xue, “You should go back too.”

Su Xue pouted, “Oh.”

Gu Jiao paused, then turned around and bowed to Xiao Heng, “Thank you for your help earlier.”

Xiao Heng also bowed slightly in return.

Yuan Xiao muttered while stroking his chin, “Why does it look like they’re performing a wedding bow when they’re just thanking each other?”

Mu Qingchen and Su Xue glared at him simultaneously.

Yuan Xiao quickly scratched the back of his head, “Oh well, let’s go, let’s go!”

Both parties went their separate ways. Xiao Heng went to check on Little Jing Kong at the stands, while Gu Jiao and her group headed to the stables.

When Gu Jiao reached the innermost stable to lead out the horse king, she found a man standing outside. He appeared to be around thirty, not very tall but with a sturdy build and sharp features.

The man had been observing the horse king in the stable. Seeing Gu Jiao, he smiled warmly.

“Young Master Xiao.” He turned and greeted.

“You are?” Gu Jiao asked.

The man replied politely, “My surname is Chu. Brother Xiao can call me Chu Nan.”

“What do you want?” Gu Jiao asked again.

He turned his head, smiled as he glanced at the horse king in the stable, then turned back to Gu Jiao, “I really like this horse.”

“It’s not for sale.” Gu Jiao stated.

He couldn’t help but chuckle, “That’s not what I meant, Brother Xiao, please don’t misunderstand.”

Gu Jiao opened the gate, went inside, and led the horse king out.

The horse king appeared gentle in front of Gu Jiao, but as it passed Chu Nan, its demeanor turned aggressive.

Chu Nan took a step back and smiled, “Your horse is quite interesting. Can I take a look? I want to see how old it is.”

Gu Jiao had initially planned to refuse, but upon hearing his request, she paused then asked, “You know about horses?”

Chu Nan chuckled, “So you really don’t know how old it is?”

Gu Jiao looked at him curiously, “What do you mean?”

Chu Nan glanced at the horse king and said, “If you knew its age, you wouldn’t be riding it so early. I couldn’t see clearly during the match, but I guess it’s not even three years old.”

“I’m a horse trainer by the way.” He added.

Gu Jiao nodded in response, “Then take a look.”

“It’s my pleasure.” Chu Nan said as he approached the horse king.

Perhaps because Gu Jiao had given permission, the horse king didn’t show aggression towards Chu Nan this time.

Chu Nan guided the horse king to open its mouth. Probably concerned that Gu Jiao or her family might imitate, he cautioned, “This is a dangerous act. Most people shouldn’t do this.”

“Just focus on your inspection.” Gu Jiao said.

After examining the horse king’s teeth, Chu Nan exclaimed, “It’s even younger than I thought, only two and a half years old.”

Gu Jiao was surprised. With such strength, how could it be so young?

Chu Nan admired the horse, “It’s indeed a king among horses. However, a two-and-a-half-year-old horse king is rare. It doesn’t look like an ordinary horse king either.”

Gu Jiao asked, “So, should I refrain from riding it since it’s not fully grown yet?”

Chu Nan replied, “It can be ridden, but you should be mindful and moderate.”

This was because Gu Jiao’s horse king was exceptionally robust. Other horses typically couldn’t be ridden until they were at least three years old.

Chu Nan continued, “At today’s intensity of riding, it shouldn’t be too frequent. You don’t normally train it like this every day, do you?”

“No.” Gu Jiao answered. She rarely rode it, and neither did her family.

Thinking of something else, Gu Jiao asked, “Can it do work? Like pulling carts or millstone?”

Chu Nan laughed and nodded, “Labor is no problem at all; it’s very strong.”

After saying this, Chu Nan realized something seemed off.

Why would a horse king be used to pull a millstone?

Gu Jiao let out a sound of realization and looked at the horse king, saying, “So you’re still a baby. I always thought you were much older.”

The old horse king frowned disapprovingly.

Chu Nan couldn’t help but laugh.

At two and a half years old, the horse king was quite large, not much smaller than a fully grown horse. This was equivalent to a teenager in human terms, a rebellious and rambunctious age.

It was no wonder it behaved so exuberantly on the polo field.

What Chu Nan didn’t mention was that this horse was a once-in-a-century talent, comparable only to the legendary warhorse of the War God Xuanyuan Li, who had tragically died in battle along with his mount.

After Gu Jiao led the horse king away, Chu Nan left the stable and walked in the opposite direction.

Han Che had been waiting for some time.

“Young master.” Chu Nan greeted him with a bow.

Han Che asked solemnly, “How is that horse?”

Chu Nan reported truthfully.

Han Che frowned, “How does our Han Family’s Black Wind King compare to it?”

Chu Nan was momentarily taken aback, then slapped his forehead, “I almost forgot about Black Wind King. Naturally, Black Wind King is better; it’s a once-in-a-millennium horse.”

“But Black Wind King belongs to my elder brother.” Han Che watched as the horse king strutted away with Gu Jiao, “If only it were mine!”

As Gu Jiao led the horse king out, Little Jing Kong had already been taken away by Xiao Heng, and Gu Yan and Dean Cen were nowhere to be seen.

She headed towards the academy gate.

As she passed by the other side of the stands, she noticed most of the students who had been watching the match had left, leaving only students from Tianqiong Academy and Wuyue Academy, with tensions high and a sense that a fight might break out any moment.

Mu Qingchen intervened to stop them.

“What’s going on?” Gu Jiao walked over and asked.

Before Mu Qingchen could speak, Zhou Tong grabbed Gu Jiao’s sleeve as if he had seen a savior, pointing at the students from Wuyue Academy, “They bet with us that if our academy wins, they’ll call us ‘father’! But now they’re not honoring it and want to beat us up instead!”

Gu Jiao asked Zhou Tong, “Did they hit you?”

Zhou Tong pouted, “Almost, but Young Master Qingchen arrived in time.”

One of the Wuyue Academy students sneered, “Hah, don’t think your academy is so great just because you won two matches, all thanks to cheating with a horse!”

Zhou Tong retorted angrily, “Who cheated? Watch your mouth!”

Gu Jiao sighed, “Forget it, stop arguing. It’s my fault.”

The crowd was stunned.

Mu Qingchen also furrowed his brow.

Though the students from Wuyue Academy didn’t understand why Gu Jiao was admitting fault, they assumed she was backing down, instantly making them feel more confident.

The leading student smirked, “So you admit you were wrong?”

“Of course.” Gu Jiao nodded seriously, looking at the group from Wuyue Academy, saying, “It’s the father’s fault for not teaching his children well. You guys are shameless, and that’s my fault!”

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 succumb 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…
