Chapter 382: The truth right before the eyes 01_1

Baili Xia had only walked away for a moment before someone caught up with her.

She had initially thought it would be Ye Hua, and had mentally prepared herself to bear the brunt of Uncle’s wrath.

However, to her surprise, it wasn’t Ye Hua who caught up with her, but her older brother that she hadn’t interacted with for several days.

“Xiaoyao has gone to train Ziying and Ziqing.

Since you don’t know how to ride, I’ll teach you first.”

Leading another tall, dark-haired horse, Mu Lingchuan slowly approached her.

Seeing her choice of a small white horse, which wasn’t very tall, he immediately seemed displeased.

“Although small horses are easier to control, they are very slow, which is very disadvantageous for a competition.”

Before Baili Xia could say anything, he added another comment.

“However, for someone who cannot ride, choosing such a small white horse is a good choice, it can help you get used to it first.”

“Can I choose this horse here, and reserve it every time I come?”

“You want this horse in the future?” Mu Lingchuan’s brow furrowed further.

“This kind of horse is only good for fun, definitely not for competition.”

The little white horse seemed to understand Mr.

Lingchuan’s disdain, pawing at the ground a few times, appearing quite unsatisfied.

Baili Xia reached out and gently stroked its pure white mane, calming it down.

Seeing the horse in this state, Mu Lingchuan couldn’t help but laugh.

“This little fellow might be small, but it sure has a big temper.”

He then looked back at Baili Xia, pursing his lips: “It’s got such a bad temper, are you sure you can handle it?”

“I don’t think it’s been bad-tempered with me, it’s quite nice, isn’t it?”

Baili Xia blinked, still gently stroking the mane of the white horse.

Mu Lingchuan said no more.

After all, he didn’t expect her to score many points for the Mu family, so he just let her have her fun.

In the competition among the Eight Big Families, younger members from each family were required to participate in various events.

In the end, the total score is calculated by adding up the scores from each event.

Although the competition started next month, the competition hour continues non-stop.

Depending on the weather, if blessed with good weather, it should be over in less than a month.

If the weather is bad, continuous rain for instance, it may not finish even after three months.

“Shall I teach you how to mount the horse first?” Mu Lingchuan walks over.

But when he tried to pet the little white horse, it raised its hoof in rejection.

Such character!

Mu Lingchuan touched his nose while Baili Xia let out a laugh.

She whispered a few words into the little white horse’s ear, and it then retracted its prickliness and seemed slightly less resistant to Mu Lingchuan.

Mu Lingchuan was genuinely surprised to see how well Baili Xia got along with the little white horse.

…Mu Lingchuan originally planned to only teach Baili Xia how to mount a horse, but didn’t expect her to do so easily.

After he told her once, she took the reins, and without requiring his assistance, lightly leaped onto the horse.

The horse in front of them could be described as having an uncanny understanding.

When Baili Xia wanted to mount, it gently tilted its body to assist her.

Mu Lingchuan was again taken aback by the way the two interacted.

He had come to the equestrian club countless times but had never seen such an intuitive horse.

However, he still thought the little white horse unreliable.

It was so small with short legs, how fast could it run?

If it couldn’t run fast, how could it compete?

If it put on a poor show and embarrassed the Mu family, that would be one thing.

But on the other hand, this girl would probably feel upset too.
