Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

At the end of the sixth chukka, both teams were tied at seventeen to seventeen.

Gu Jiao didn't score many goals herself; she usually passed the ball to Mu Qingchen. Nevertheless, she still managed to become the center of attention on the field with her sheer skill.

"How can he be like that?"

One female student in Xiao Heng's pavilion muttered.

Another female student said, "But watching Young Master Qingchen win makes me so happy."

The third female student giggled and said, "Indeed, they cooperate so well! They really make a great pair!"

Xiao Heng's face darkened.

Next door, Second Master Jing was also stunned by Gu Jiao's dazzling skills. After watching polo for so many years, it was the first time he had seen someone openly and brazenly learn from others like this.

"Elder brother, did you see that, this kid... Oh my goodness!"

Halfway through his sentence, Second Master Jing turned his head and saw that his elder brother had his eyes wide open, with a keen and penetrating gaze. He was so startled that he fell to the ground!

He was just venting to his elder brother and never expected him to actually open his eyes. That was really scary, okay?

"Hold on."

He steadied himself, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and nervously sat back down on the cushion, "Elder brother, when did you open your eyes? At least make a sound... although you couldn't make a sound... never mind."

His elder brother was currently like a living dead, basically unable to hear what he was saying.

Occasionally, he would open his eyes, but it was just an unconscious action and he couldn't really see anything.

All of this, he understood.

"Elder brother, are you hot? Shall I fan you?"

As he spoke, he picked up the folding fan from the table and began to fan his elder brother.

Lord Duke's view was completely blocked by the fan.

As Second Master Jing continued fanning, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Why did it feel like someone wanted to kill him?

The seventh chukka of the game began.

Xu Ping, either because he didn't want Gu Jiao to learn more of his special moves or because he didn't dare to use them anymore, played relatively conservatively this round.

He thought Gu Jiao would be just as conservative.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

Gu Jiao only learned the good moves; she didn't pick up the bad ones!

Tianqiong Academy launched an offensive and scored two consecutive goals.

Qingyue Academy called for a timeout, "Substitute."

Nangong Lin and his team returned to the waiting area, where the teacher from Qingyue Academy said, "What are you all doing? Why aren't you attacking?"

Xu Ping had no words to defend himself.

The teacher said, "Xu Ping, take a break for now. You'll go back in for the final round."

Xu Ping sighed, "Understood."

The substitute from Qingyue Academy was also a good polo player, but he was better suited as a defender, so Nangong Lin took Xu Ping's place as the main striker.

He glared coldly at Gu Jiao on the field.

He wouldn't let this guy succeed. He was determined to score and win the match.

"I need to use the latrine." He said to the teacher.

"Go ahead, but be quick, you'll be up soon." The teacher reminded him.

"Yes."

Nangong Lin left the waiting area. Tianqiong Academy's team was on the other side.

He snapped his fingers, and a dark guard swiftly appeared before him, bowing and saying, "Young master!"

Nangong Lin glanced at Gu Jiao and said coldly, "I want him to fall off his horse!"

The dark guard hesitated, "This..."

Nangong Lin said in a cold tone, "What? Can't you do it?"

The dark guard bowed, "This subordinate can do it!"

Nangong Lin smiled smugly, "Good! Remember, make it look like he fell off his horse by accident. Don’t let anyone notice anything suspicious."

The dark guard replied, "Understood!”

After the break, the players returned to the field.

Nangong Lin took the position of the main striker. Mu Qingchen gave him a deep look and warned Gu Jiao, "Be careful."

Gu Jiao calmly responded, "Okay."

The match resumed, with Qingyue Academy starting the play. Nangong Lin got the ball, and Gu Jiao rode her horse to chase him from behind.

Nangong Lin didn't rush to hit the ball away. Instead, he guided it while leading Gu Jiao toward the direction where the dark guard was positioned.

Spectators who couldn't get a seat in the stands were standing at the edge of the field, and the dark guard was hidden among them.

Everyone was engrossed in the game, and no one noticed that the dark guard was holding a small stone in his hand.

Second Master Jing had already stood up and was leaning over the railing, having also pushed his elder brother out.

The dark guard was just a bit ahead and below them. If they glanced that way, they would definitely see him, but with the match being so exciting, who would pay attention to the crowd?

Lord Duke's hand began to twitch lightly.

"Come on, come on! Catch up! You were so good at hitting people before, why are you so weak now?"

Second Master Jing yelled at Gu Jiao, not noticing his brother's condition.

Lord Duke's body began to tremble violently.

"Second Master! Lord Duke, he..." The servant boy noticed Lord Duke's odd behavior.

Second Master Jing quickly looked at his elder brother. Seeing him shaking like that, he was terrified. He crouched down and held onto his brother's wheelchair, asking, "Elder brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lord Duke's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something.

Second Master Jing scratched his head, "Is the match too intense for you? You don't like watching it? Can we watch a little longer? Just a little while more."

Nangong Lin moved to the inner circle, forcing Gu Jiao to the outside.

The dark guard was about to take action.

Lord Duke was shaking like a leaf, his gaze icy.

Second Master Jing: Is my elder brother angry?

Second Master Jing was confused and uncertain if his guess was correct. However, he thought there couldn't be any other reason.

He stood up, pushed his elder brother's wheelchair, and sighed, "Alright, alright, we won't watch anymore. I'll take you back now!"

Lord Duke shook even more violently.

For a moment, Second Master Jing had a fleeting, eerie feeling that his elder brother wanted to kill him.

Nangong Lin slightly slowed down, allowing the dark guard to make a successful hit.

Gu Jiao was now within the perfect attack range. The dark guard swiftly shot the small stone from his hand.

The stone aimed directly at a critical point on Gu Jiao's waist. It wouldn't leave a mark or be fatal, but it would instantly paralyze half of Gu Jiao's body.

However, the next second, something unbelievable happened.

Gu Jiao suddenly bent down to grab the ball.

The dark guard's expression changed, but it was too late to stop it. The small stone flashed past Gu Jiao's back and directly hit Nangong Lin.

Nangong Lin didn't even have time to scream. His body was paralyzed in an instant, and he fell off his horse in a panic!

Because he had just slowed down, the polo players behind him managed to catch up.

It was Mu Chuan and a student from Qingyue Academy.

Mu Chuan's horse wasn't as fast as the horse of the Qingyue Academy student, but precisely because his horse was so fast, there was no time to tighten the reins.

The Qingyue Academy student watched in horror as his horse trampled over Nangong Lin!

A horrifying scream echoed as Nangong Lin's chest and leg bones were crushed on the spot!

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
