What’s the meaning of "living to see the day"?
Definitely watching Tianqiong Academy play ji-ju.
They had no idea a ji-ju match could turn out like this!
The first time they’d stolen Xu Ping’s tricks, using "Xu Ping" to defeat "Xu Ping" had already been quite an eye-opener, and yet today brought something even more intense.
Many among them had come to witness the grandeur of Shengdu’s number one young master, Mu Qingchen, only to have their attention completely hijacked by the newcomer.
It was the newcomer who had thrown them off course last time as well, confirming that saying—what kind of player raises what kind of horse, right?
If the player was out of the ordinary, then damn it, so was the horse!
By the end, Pingyang Academy’s people were utterly out of steam. Their horses getting spooked and fleeing was one thing, but to have them led away by that kid’s horse? Now that was truly frightening!
Han Che pulled hard on the reins, "No! Stop! Stop! Whoa—"
Whoa was no use anymore, the Hei Fengqi horses had all followed the lead horse and ran off.
The lead horse, with its mouth wide open, huffed and puffed as it charged forward.
Come on! I’ll take you flying!
The ji-ju players of Tianqiong Academy couldn’t bear to watch; This creature was no teammate of theirs.
The people in the stands laughed so hard their stomachs hurt.
Those who didn’t understand horses might think this horse was incredibly impressive, while those in the know would realize that as impressive as the horse was, the person who could completely control it was even more remarkable.
In a pavilion on the east side of the stands, adorned with beaded curtains, sat a man in a dark robe, sitting upright and sipping tea; and just slightly behind him to the right, sat a man in an official’s robe.
"How come he didn’t fall off with the horse running like that? Who is that kid?" asked the man in the dark robe.
The man in the official’s robe spoke respectfully, "Reporting to Your Highness, I have seen this man before. He is a schoolmate of Mu Qingchen and is said to be from a lower kingdom. He is smooth-talking and once impersonated a doctor to deceive the Duke Residence."
The man in the dark robe asked, "Is this the quack doctor that you said Mu Qingchen brought to the Duke Residence the other time?"
