Chapter 118: We Can Collaborate
Xie Qiao kept doing her own thing. She scrubbed the horse’s tummy and then patted it. The horse rolled on the ground to turn over. She then proceeded to scrub it.
It was like autumn wind blowing and a warm moon shining on her side. It was so relaxing that the students were envious.
On the other side…
Xia Yayun had taken horseback archery classes, so she was not a stranger to horses. However, it was her first ti cleaning horses.
She led the horse out carefully and scrubbed it back and forth with a brush in a stiff manner. It was unknown whether she was too soft or the horse was feeling uncomfortable—it was moving around and not behaving at all!
anwhile, ng Jifang was suddenly kicked by the horse. Xia Yayun was so scared that she didn’t dare to ss with the horse.
In reality, she had not attended many horseback archery classes. She had ridden on a pony and had run for a few rounds at most. She was not an expert in that skill.
At that mont, ng Jifang was very annoyed. “The horses in this courtyard are still wild!?”
He had ridden horses before, so how would a tad horse be so fierce!?
He got up while covering his ribs and glared at Xie Qiao.
He realized that her movents were extraordinarily smooth. anwhile, the horse next to her even neighed twice in enjoynt. It looked like a dog!
He knew that as long as he followed the rules and made the horses comfortable, it was only natural that he would not be kicked. However, now that there was soone next to him doing the job in such a relaxed manner, he looked very foolish to be putting a great effort.
ng Jifang frowned and asked, “How did you do that?”
Xie Qiao did not even lift her head. She proceeded to scrub the horse’s hair and back.
ng Jifang was getting irritated now. However, he should not throw tantrums at a gentle young lady like her. He thought about it and spoke much gentler now. “Young Lady Xie, how co the horse listens to you?”
Xie Qiao remained silent.
“Xie Qiao?” ng Jifang raised his brows.
Xie Qiao got up and helped the horse up. She fetched another pail of water and rinsed it simply. Just like that, she was done cleaning a horse.
She did not spend too much ti overall.
“I ran into your brother yesterday afternoon! I even treated him wine.” ng Jifang shalessly tried to chat with Xie Qiao.
That was not a lie, but neither was that the truth.
Xie Niushan’s eldest son, Xie Pinggang, was known to be the most courageous man in the Imperial City. He had killed barbarians when he was so ten years old. It was said that the barbarians looked like they had seen a ghost when they saw him. They would run away from the scare.
Any ambitious n in the Imperial City, including ng Jifang, wanted to et such a person.
He had t Xie Pinggang not long ago. Apart from being taller, he was nothing much. Therefore, he had gotten the waiter to send Xie Pinggang a jar of the cheapest wine sarcastically when he saw him at the restaurant with his colleagues investigating a case yesterday afternoon.
He had just been ssing with him, so he had not expected Xie Pinggang to really finish the wine. Xie Pinggang had even thanked him calmly after drinking and given him a plate of… premium snacks!
It made ng Jifang look petty.
However, Xie Qiao reacted when she heard that. “I look kind and pretty. That’s why the horses are warr to .”
“I don’t look too bad either, right?” ng Jifang frowned and glanced at Xie Qiao.
He felt rather guilty.
This young lady was rather beautiful, had great charisma, and gave off a gentle vibe. When he had approached her earlier, he could even sll a light fragrance on her. It was nice.
“Maybe you can teach ?” said ng Jifang.
“I can’t teach you, but we can collaborate,” Xie Qiao stopped what she was doing.
