"I'm just a horse tamer," the girl said, her hands behind her back, still holding the iron-headed stick, swinging it playfully, and speaking casually.
"Yan Yan?" He Sui was taken aback, then whispered reproachfully, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
However, He Yan didn't even look at He Sui, her eyes fixed on Young Master Zhao as she said, "Young Master, are you willing?"
Young Master Zhao was someone who appreciated beauty. Although the girl's face was veiled, her eyes revealed a beautiful countenance. Besides, she spoke with a crisp voice and seemed like a beauty in her own right. It was hard for him to resist a request from such a charming and tender beauty.
"Miss, you may not know, but this horse is wild and untamed. If you were to get injured because of this, I would be deeply regretful," he kindly reminded, feeling suave and sophisticated.
But just as he finished speaking, he heard the girl laugh. In the next moment, he saw a flash of coral-colored dress, like fluttering lotus flowers, carrying a fragrant breeze. When he looked up again, He Yan was sitting gracefully on the horse, holding the reins.
The horse had originally been held by He Sui, and he didn't expect He Yan to suddenly mount it. He loosened his grip, and the reins fell. The wild horse, startled, neighed loudly and raised its legs in a leap.
"Yan Yan!" He Sui exclaimed, and He Yunsheng was also startled.
He Yan remained calm and simply let go of the reins, only holding onto the mane on the horse's neck tightly. She grasped firmly, not letting go even as the horse struggled. She then leaned down, her ear against the horse's ear, making a series of strange sounds in her mouth.
Strangely enough, the horse gradually stopped struggling, and its raised front hooves returned to the ground. It slowly calmed down.
Everyone was astonished.
"Yan Yan, get down quickly," He Sui's heart finally settled, reaching out eagerly to He Yan, "Don't risk yourself."
He Yunsheng also regained his senses, his young face pale, and his voice trembling, "You... get down quickly! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"Hahaha," Young Master Zhao, who had been in a daze, suddenly burst into laughter, "I didn't expect the young lady to be so skilled. In that case..." He also mounted a horse, "How about I accompany the young lady in a match?"
Indeed, he was quite elegant.
He Yan smiled slightly, "Be careful then, as I said, I'm a horse tamer." With that, she reached out, patting the horse's rear, and the horse kicked up dust as it galloped away!
"She didn't even use a horsewhip?" Young Master Zhao murmured, then flicked his whip, urging the horse forward, "Go!"
The two horses kicked up rolling dust on the racetrack, leaving everyone in awe.
He Sui slowly turned to look at He Yunsheng, who hurriedly defended himself, "Don't ask me, I have no idea when she learned to ride a horse!"
He Sui felt as if he was in a dream.
He knew his daughter best. She might have some knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was well-dressed, but when it came to riding horses and wielding swords, she was not only inexperienced but would probably roll her eyes at the very mention of it. He Yan preferred refined and elegant young men, enjoying activities like tasting tea, discussing poetry, and appreciating flowers under the moonlight. She kept her distance from rough and uncouth things, fearing they might hurt her delicate skin.
