Chapter 069 – The One Who Kills The Leader Of The Horses! (1/2)

069 – The one who kills the leader of the horses!

The courtyard was deep and hidden; it's very easy to get lost in this huge garden.

The courtyard that Cui Xiaoxin lives at is in the deepest part of the Cui mansion; she likes quiet places. Back then when her father and two uncles were fighting fiercely, her auntie brought her down to Jiangnan. Several years have past already, although she returned to the same courtyard as before, but the scenery now has become unfamiliar.

The delicate morning glory back then has now concealed the whole wall and the Tiandu's sakura flower that she personally planted is now higher than a man. The purple flowers are blooming beautifully; as someone who loves flowers she wished she could reach out and stroke each flower petal.

Back then all her thoughts were pure, she did not expect that she would experience this sort of feelings at this moment.

“Xiaoxin—–Xiaoxin—–” A familiar voice echoed from behind, then quickly followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Cui Xiaoxin turned around and saw cousin Yan Xiangma running over in large strides, she said: “Cousin is in such a hurry, what happened?”

“It's bad. Li Muyang is first place.” Yan Xiangma ran over to Cui Xiaoxin and yelled.

“What?” Across Cui Xiaoxin's face was a puzzled look, she then asked: “First in what?”

“Li Muyang, that kid achieved first place in the exam, first place in the entire kingdom, how is that possible?”

Cui Xiaoxin looked shocked and then relieved, her face broke into a smile: “I should have guessed.”

“Guessed what?”

“As long as he can answer the questions, it will definitely be correct. The exam topics this year were extremely difficult, by a lucky coincidence several of the questions I had already explained to him before. If he answered them all, naturally everything will be correct. It's only right he achieved first place in the exams.”

“It's really hard to believe, could it be that kid cheated in the exams?”

Cui Xiaoxin's brows lightly puckered up in a frown, then said: “Cousin did you see him cheat?”

“Of course not. I wasn't in the same exam room as him, how would I know he cheated?”

“Since cousin did not see Li Muyang cheat, then you can't deny his efforts that easily——Just because you saw him obtain such achievement, but you don't know how much effort he has put into it.” Cui Xiaoxin's expression was serious and her tone carried a hint of scolding.

“I just said it casually. When I heard everyday you were tutoring a male student, I asked someone to investigate him. In the end, one glance and it almost blinded my eyes. What sort of people do you know? He's a person with a pig's head—–Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Li Muyang is a pig. I just find it strange. Why would a person who always obtained last place in the whole school become a genius?” Yan Xiangma chuckled, blinking his eyes as he smiled at Cui Xiaoxin, then said: “Cousin is so protective of him, could it be—–”

“Cousin, stop talking nonsense.” Cui Xiaoxin interrupted Yan Xiangma's teasing in a stern voice.

Yan Xiangma hurriedly glanced around the surroundings, after confirming that no one was nearby was he finally able to relax.

A careless word, if travelled to the ears of some people, although Xiaoxin cousin may be fine but the black sheep far away in Jiangnan would most likely encounter thunder strikes.

“Cousin please forgive me, I was just kidding.” Yan Xiangma moderated the smile on his face and said: “My father rewarded him two thousand gold coins and also named him as 'Jiangnan's famous colt', now everyone in Tiandu is talking about him, many people said they want to look at what remarkable abilities exactly does Li Muyang possess—-”

A cold smile emerged on Cui Xiaoxin's lips as she said: “The one who killed the leader of the horses stood at the side.”

“What does that mean? The one who killed the leader of the horses stood at the side?” Yan Xiangma asked aloud.

“'The Wind Custom' had mentioned: throughout the history, horses remain strong, those who observes quickly understands that those who rides them praises them endlessly. As a result, horses gallop constantly until they die due such praise.” Cui Xioaxin explained aloud while staring at the Tiandu's sakura flowers with a face filled with worries.

“Cousin what do you mean?” Yan Xiangma's face became much serious, with a look of disbelief he said: “Don't tell me you suspect my father is deliberately causing Li Muyang to fail from excessive praise.”

“Otherwise, how do you explain the two thousand gold coins?”

“Perhaps my father appreciates talent, so he rewarded him greatly.”

“Then the name 'Jiangnan's famous colt'?”

“So geniuses in Jiangnan became famous, why not?”

“Cousin, what do you think uncle's impression of Li Muyang is?”

“——”
