Chapter 263: Accident 1
After they rode for some time, Huo Wei suddenly appeared in front of Gu Chaoyan as if trying to block her way.
She was trying to interfere with Gu Chaoyan so that she could not rush forward.
Huo Wei did not care if she entered Saint College. What she cared about was whether she was able to befriend County Princess Anxi and the Elder Princess. That was why she could sacrifice her own role to stop Gu Chaoyan, so that strictly speaking, Gu Chaoyan would have nowhere to make an appeal if Huo Wei succeeded with her tricks.
However, Gu Chaoyan simply could not be stopped. She would very much like to know if Huo Wei dared to do the trick she had planned.
Instead of slowing down, Gu Chaoyan waved the whip and sped up.
Huo Wei was shocked hearing the scurrying sound of horse hoofs. Startled, she moved away and what Gu Chaoyan did was to hurry off through the narrow s.p.a.ce Huo Wei had made for her.
Huo Wei got so frightened that it took her ages before she was again able to get control of the horse.
When she intended to carry out the trick once again, Gu Chaoyan was nowhere to be seen. How frightening! She had thought that trick would be easily done, since Gu Chaoyan was disgraced and lived in a shabby room all her life, so she never learned to ride. Even if she was able to ride horses, she might have picked up the knowledge these days and she could not be too skillful. How dare she rush up at such a rate – wasn’t she scared that she would run into an accident?
Huo Wei was frightened and surprised.
Gu Chaoyan was riding at such a high rate that when Gu Ruxue saw her, she was shocked. She knew how capable Huo Wei was at riding, and she had been confident that she was able to deal with Gu Chaoyan.
So Huo Wei had been distracted?
Gu Ruxue was just thinking as she rushed towards Gu Chaoyan, who did not spare any mercy to her interference. Gu Ruxue had to change direction at a distance away. She did not want to get killed just because of this contest.
She was almost at the finis.h.i.+ng line and Anxi was not far away from her.
County Princess Anxi frowned. Seeing Gu Chaoyan next to her, she found this woman extremely annoying, so she took out the dagger and tossed it at the horse’s back. The horse got stabbed and let out a scream, rus.h.i.+ng forward wildly.
Gu Chaoyan tried her best to control the horse. She had not expected that County Princess Anxi would have done such a mean thing, but she had no other way at this moment other than to make sure the horse was running in the right direction.
Her horse was a small pony, and normally the pony would not be faster than that of County Princess Anxi, but when the pony was stimulated, it rushed forward so fast that it went past County Princess Anxi directly, rus.h.i.+ng at the finis.h.i.+ng line at full speed.
County Princess Anxi got so angry as she was left behind.
The horse she stabbed should have been rus.h.i.+ng randomly and throwing the person on it off – all kinds of accidents would occur here!
How could she!? How could she keep control of the horse!? d.a.m.n it! What made her capable?
Dressed in the red uniform, Gu Chaoyan came rus.h.i.+ng to the finis.h.i.+ng line. Zhou Huaijin was greeting her there with a smile, but Gu Chaoyan did not get off the horse as she pa.s.sed by the finis.h.i.+ng line but continued to hold the rope with great force.
Zhou Huaijin had thought about greeting her with celebratory words, but now, he realized that something was wrong.
