Chapter 13: Some Horses are Lifelong, Better Treat It Well

w.a.n.g Jian was woken from his daze by Gu Nan’s voice .

If he hadn’t been alerted, who knows how long he’d be staring .

He hurriedly greeted and said, “Sister is diligent and has made great breakthroughs, your future is unlimited . ”

Gu Nan rolled her eyes .  As if he’d know how hard it was . At least standing and talking isn’t that bad .

Bai Qi leisurely walked out of the house . “Haha, Little Jian, don’t praise her any more . Since you’re here, I must trouble you to teach her your skills . ”

“I don’t dare . ” w.a.n.g Jian quickly bowed . “This is my responsibility and I shall put all my heart into it . ”

Although Lord Wu’an is of high rank and views him favorably, it is still necessary to respect the hierarchy and customs .

“Ha, kid . ” Bai Qi smiled slightly . “This is not a place for those lousy customs . ”

w.a.n.g Jian returned with a smile . He’s always been involved with court politics and the habit has since developed . Rather be safe than accidentally offend someone . Nodding with understanding, he said, “You are correct . ”

“Alright, don’t worry about it, let’s eat first . Um, and Nan, you can take a break . ”

“Clank . ”

The grip on the bronze sword loosened and it rattled against the ground .

Gu Nan also plopped down with a thud .

Her right arm was almost devoid of sensation, and both of them were shaking with no intention of stopping . Just from stabbing thousands of times, her muscles are so broken . Her body felt the urge to give out . But even this body doesn’t feel like her own .

Perhaps this is the urging of the soul .

She smiled and slowly rolled up her sleeves .

Her right wrist was red and swollen, as if given a severe lashing .

“Let this old man look . ”

She looked up and saw Ghost Valley already standing above her, touching his white beard .

He glanced and laughed slightly, “Nothing big . To anyone who learning the sword, the hand is the root of everything . It can’t be looked down upon . ”

Ghost Valley pointed his fingers out and placed them on her wrist . A feeling of soft warmth flowing through her arm and the redness retreated at a visible rate .

Internal Qi?

She felt the pleasant force flowing throughout her arm . Her eyes glittering in amazement .

Ghost Valley eventually let go of her, and her wrist was completely back to normal . Except for some soreness, there was nothing wrong .

Ghost Valley touched his beard again . “Girl, what are your thoughts on your master?”

“My life was saved by him . ”

He laughed, amused . “It’s something so simple?”

Unrolling her sleeve back down, Gu Nan naturally asked . “What other reason would there be?”

“Yes, yes . You’re right . ” Ghost Valley smiled . “But this troubled world is always more complicated . ”

After that, he patted her head, a confused expression still on her face . “Good, good . Continue with the sword . I’m excited to see what your sword may one day become . ”

He then turned and walked back indoors .

Now only Gu Nan sat alone in the courtyard .

————————————————————

Blackie was standing in his stall, snoring rhythmically . His pure black tail occasionally slapping the wooden walls .

Oh, and Blackie was that dark horse Gu Nan bought back . That day a dilemma arose and a new name was chosen out of impulse .

Oh, and Blackie was that dark horse Gu Nan bought back . That day a dilemma arose and a new name was chosen out of impulse .

At least Bai Qi thought Blackie was a more normal name than Dogs.h.i.t or something .

Ever since then, Blackie has lived a pretty good life, eating and drinking to his content . Because it was Gu Nan’s horse, Bai Qi treated it quite well . Even the gra.s.s he munched on was just delivered this morning .

After a while, Blackie got treatment even superior to Bai Qi’s horse .

Blackie shook his head, glancing at the entrance .

The reason is that someone was slyly walking over .

Gu Nan held a bundle of horse gra.s.s in her hand . She smiled and inched closer .

“Blackie~”

“Humph . ” Blackie snorted arrogantly .

Gu Nan wasn’t sure if it could understand her; but nevertheless, she grabbed a bundle of gra.s.s and handed it to the horse .

“I’ll tell you the truth, I felt that you were extraordinary the moment I saw you . Look at this physique, look at this coat color . How can this be something regular horses have? Don’t you think?”

Blackie although still looking at her with some contempt, lowered his head to munch off the offered gra.s.s . He was obviously pleased by this flattery . Gu Nan however only smiled .

“I’ve heard that riding horses is very challenging . ”

“I’ve heard that riding horses is very challenging . ”

The risk is high, especially for those inexperienced . The danger means death or permanent injury can occur at any moment .

In ancient times, falling off a horse could mean a lifetime of disabilities . In her eyes, horse riding is similar in danger to bullfighting .

She was only an ordinary employee in her previous life . It’s guaranteed for her to be nervous when dealing with large animals .

——————————————————————

Standing outside the stables, in the distance, w.a.n.g Jian looked at Gu Nan’s behavior and smiled .

Before training, it’s normal for some bonding time to increase familiarity . But who knew that she’d be talking to a horse?

Horse riding is the art of controlling horses . Even the best riders don’t know the hearts of horses .

Horses are not spiritual and are far from reaching that point .

So, Gu Nan’s behavior is…

A bit dumb .

After wiping the mild sweat off his forehead, w.a.n.g Jian turned to Bai Qi beside him . “Miss Gu is truly odd . ”

Bai Qi only sighed and didn’t say anything .
