WFWC Chapter 93

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 93: Do You Trust Me So Much?

“Why did the Second Young Master choose an untamed horse? Such a horse is still wild and inevitably uncontrollable.”

Wild horses are fierce, but they also better reflect the ability of the contestants.

Soon, the groomer brought a mature black horse. It was tall and easily agitated.

Without waiting for Gu Fanmu to say anything, Ji Linfeng jumped on the horse, pulled the reins, and “Gee!” The black horse broke into a gallop.

Gu Fanmu had also jumped on the horse and followed closely behind.

The race was simple: whoever reached the finish line first won. Of course, there were many obstacles along the way, and you couldn’t fall off the horse. After running a few meters, the black horse seemed to sense the provocation, neighed, and raised its front hooves.

As the black horse raised its front hooves, Ji Linfeng leaned back.

Duanmu Yi exclaimed, “Be careful.” Her heart was in her throat, and she was really worried for him.

Thinking he was about to fall off the horse, Ji Linfeng abandoned the horse and leaped into the air, landing firmly on the horse’s back. Sensing it hadn’t thrown its rider off, the black horse leaped and kicked even more furiously, leaping forward and backward in a rage.

In that instant, Gu Fanmu had already pulled ahead. Passing the first obstacle, Gu Fanmu nearly fell off, but he held his ground. Holding the horse’s head, he spun around and found himself firmly on its back, poised to clear the second obstacle.

Not only was Ji Linfeng several meters behind, the black horse was still hesitating at the first hurdle.

In contrast to Ji Linfeng’s nonchalant demeanor, the aristocratic children who had been watching the excitement were filled with mixed emotions. “I told you not to choose the wild horse, but he didn’t believe me. Now we’re going to lose.”

If they lost, the Second Prince of the Northern Kingdom would only become more arrogant.

Ji Hua nestled in Ji Yushu’s arms, playing with her feet. Not worried at all.

[Don’t worry, Second Brother has a plan.]

As Ji Hua finished her words, Ji Yushu saw Ji Linfeng lean over and whisper something in the black horse’s ear. A confident smile graced his face. The black horse then unleashed its hooves and galloped away, carrying its owner straight towards the white horse in front. When passing the second checkpoint, Ji Linfeng slapped the horse’s back fiercely.

The horse, as if in telepathy with its owner, raised its front hooves and soared into the air, brushing past Gu Fanmu’s hair.

Startled, Gu Fanmu quickly tightened the reins to avoid falling off the horse, but this also delayed the horse’s progress.

Looking up, he saw the black horse, which had been wild and unruly just now, carrying Ji Linfeng with great obedience across the third obstacle.

Gu Fanmu’s eyes flashed with surprise, wondering why the black horse, which had been wild and unruly just now, had become so obedient in the blink of an eye.

But he didn’t have time to think too much. After settling in his seat, he slapped the horse’s belly and chased after Ji Linfeng. Seeing that Ji Linfeng was about to pass the last checkpoint in front of him, he became anxious. He searched around for the figure.

As a result, he actually saw the man in black hidden in the woods.

The man gave him a barely perceptible nod, then fixed his gaze on Ji Linfeng.

Suddenly, Ji Linfeng felt locked in a terrifying presence. His very soul trembled.

A voice warned him of the danger emanating from the woods a hundred meters away. In the nick of time, Ji Linfeng glanced to his right.

He saw a figure cloaked in a black cloak. This figure felt familiar to him—or more accurately, familiar to An Yan. Without An Yan’s alertness, he wouldn’t have been able to detect the danger lurking in the shadows.

At the same moment, Ji Linfeng dodged an invisible force of energy by leaning to the side. He slapped the horse’s belly, and the black horse, sensing the danger, sped even faster.

In a flash, it covered several meters, with Gu Fanmu catching up behind him. Surprisingly, the two reached the finish line simultaneously, a tie.

Ji Linfeng’s expression was as dark as ink, a hint of murderous intent etched across his brow. If he hadn’t dodged that move, he wouldn’t have ended up in a tie. I wanted to warn the Second Prince, but I was afraid of alerting him, so I gave up.

“Second Young Master Ji truly possesses the demeanor of General Ji back in his day. Since we’re evenly matched, how about another duel?”

Hearing this, Ji Linfeng knew what Gu Fanmu was referring to, and his eyes moved. He smiled nonchalantly. “Sure, tell me, what are we going to compete in next?” As he spoke, he handed the reins to the groom who came forward.

Seeing Ji Linfeng’s ignorant look, Gu Fanmu’s eyes flashed with ridicule. He was lucky to have dodged it just now, but this time he will definitely die without anyone noticing.

“Originally, it was a target shooting competition, but in my opinion, that kind of trick is completely not in the eyes of the second young master. How about we try something more exciting?” After saying this, he clapped his hands. Immediately, a beautiful woman came forward with an apple on her head.

Seeing this, the young men and women from the noble families next to them screamed.

“Oh my goodness, aren’t they going to shoot apples?”

“If it’s hard to hit, it’s not an apple, it’s a person. Today is the Queen’s birthday. If blood is drawn, no one can bear the Queen’s blame.”

“That’s right, I suspect the Second Prince of the Northern Kingdom is deliberately making things difficult. If Second Young Master Ji doesn’t agree, isn’t he afraid of him? But if he agrees, what if he hits someone?”

Everyone looked solemnly at the two people in the horse farm who seemed to be chatting and laughing. They expected Ji Linfeng to refuse, but he smiled brightly.

“How could I, Ji Linfeng, back down from something the Second Prince dares to do?”

Did this mean he agreed?

Everyone thought the apple on her head was hard to accept, but Gu Fanmu’s next words were even more shocking. He said, “This girl with the apple on her head is Princess Hua’an, the daughter of Prince Duan of the Northern Kingdom.”

At these words, everyone’s eyes widened.

Ji Linfeng turned to look at the ladies from the noble families behind him. Under his gaze, they all took three steps back, fearing that Ji Linfeng would drag them down and use them as targets for the apple on their heads.

Ji Linfeng was about to sneer at the coward when a woman stepped forward. This woman was none other than Duanmu Yi.

Duanmu Yi’s clear voice overwhelmed the entire audience.

“I’ll do it.”

Wow— the words startled everyone.

Ji Linfeng cast a worried look on Duanmu Yi’s face and pursed his lips slightly. The latter looked at him frankly. It was as if he was saying, “Don’t worry, I’m not afraid.” At that moment, Ji Linfeng gave up the idea of trying to persuade her. His woman should be brave, right?

The reason she stepped forward was that she didn’t want the northerners to look down on Ji Linfeng.

In the dream, no woman stepped forward, and in the end Ji Linfeng had no choice but to let Zuo Tong go on stage with an apple on her head. However, she was ridiculed by the northerners for a while. She would not give the northerners a chance to ridicule her.

The moment Duanmu Yi stepped forward, she had already defeated many of the ladies from the noble families in Shengjing.

Ji Linfeng smiled at Duanmu Yi, took the apple from the attendant with his right hand, and led her towards the wooden stake with his left hand. As they walked, he asked her, “Do you trust me so much?”

Duanmu Yi did not answer him, but lowered his eyes to his hand holding hers, her eyes stained with a layer of mist.

She had not even married yet, but she was already so disregarding the strict rules between men and women. It really made people feel that the Duanmu family had no way of educating their daughter. However, after having that dream, she just wanted to cherish every moment with him.

She said with red eyes, “I have always believed in you, just like when I was eight years old, you flew up the tree to get the kite for me.” If the dream was true, how could she go down that old path again. She would tell him from the beginning that she had admired him for many years.

The young man was stunned, and a strange light flowed in his eyes that were as attractive as crystal beads.

It turned out that this was the fate between him and her.
