It was still very early and the streets outside the city were very quiet. Murong Ye and the others were advancing on their horses with great speed.

Murong Ye looked at Murong Xue who was riding beside him, his face full of surprise: “Sister, your horse riding skills are really good, who did you learn it from?”

“You can say I learned how to ride from the guards. I saw how majestic they were when they were horse riding and tried it myself a few times. Not long after that, I mastered it.” Murong Xue looked for an appropriate reason to cover up. As the heir of the Murong family in the 21st century, horseback-riding classes are a must. She had managed to pass the class with flying colours.

“So you just rode a few times and you mastered it? Sister, you are such a pro!” Murong Ye praised with genuine admiration, “I had learned it from Uncle Hui. I could only manage to make the horse run 2 rounds after half a month of teaching……”

Murong Xue feigned a smile, “It was because you were still young at that time so you were slower in picking up things. I had only learned how to ride a year before. I was much older then, so that’s why I could pick up things faster…”

Murong Ye’s eyes shone with understanding, “You are right, if I practise more, my horse riding speed would increase immensely…”

“Quit talking so much nonsense! Murong Ye, since your horse riding skills are quite decent, why don’t we have a little competition?” Murong Ji impatiently interrupted, his eyes shining with provocation.

Murong Ye’s expression became downcast and spoke glumly, “This is my first day going to the army camp, I don’t think I should. Maybe we’ll compete next time when we’re free.”

Murong Ji snickered, “We are riding to the camp. Ifwe compete, it will only make the horses run faster which will make us reach our destination earlier. I think you’re just scared of losing.”

Murong Ye flushed red with anger, “Who’s scared of losing?! Let’s compete then!”

He then slapped his horse’s neck sharply and the horse sped up. In a blink of an eye, he had abandoned the group behind.

Looking at Murong Ye and Murong Ji’s disappearing silhouettes, Murong Xue shook her head: Murong Ji is Murong Jian’s son. No doubt in the future, Murong Jian will help his son deal with Murong Ye.

But Murong Ye was simple-minded. Just because Murong Ji had angered him, he immediately agreed to a horse race. The current Murong Ye wasn’t a worthy opponent for Murong Jian and his son. He needed to endure hardships and be trained, only in that way can he grow to be stronger.

“Horse, where are you going?!” a frantic shout bore into the ears of all. Murong Xue jolted to her senses and looked towards the direction of the shout. Murong Ye’s horse had gone mad and was accelerating down the road with impeccable speed. Murong Ye was like a fly clinging onto the horse, going through bumpy roads…

Murong Xue squinted her eyes with suspicion, “What is going on?”

“There’s something wrong with the horse! I’m going to save young master!” Ge Hui said, and with a whip the horse dashed towards Murong Ye.

“I’ll go rescue him too!” Murong Jian shouted. He too whipped his horse and sped towards Murong Ye. His eyes held a sinister gleam. Even though it disappeared in an instant, Murong Xue had seen it. Her mouth curled into a smirk.

She had thought that he would wait till he was safely rooted in the Zhen Country Palace before slowly unfolding his plan to acquire the position as heir, that is – killing Murong Ye.

Who knew that he had boldly made his move on the second day of his return! Moreover, he was going to do it in public! He really was daring and desperate to acquire the position of heir!

“Miss Murong, where are you going?” a deep voice asked.
