Chapter 152 - 152 Hostility
152 Hostility
Gu Yanfei did not sense the emotions of the others.
There was no such thing as gender defense in the Bright Spirit Realm, and strength was always respected.
This was just a matter of helping her. It was no different from Qing Guang stepping on her shoulder and jumping onto the bookshelf.
“Thank you.” She thanked him casually and stroked Chu Yi’s white horse. How obedient.
She withdrew her hand, and Chu Yi lowered his. The mountain wind blew Gu Yanfei’s black hair, which fluttered just enough to send a few strands into Chu Yi’s hand and run through his fingers like running water.
An unspoken, tacit understanding flowed between them, and everything seemed to come naturally.
The others were still silent. Many people were stunned and could not even think about the meaning of Chu Yi’s actions.
The wind picked up again, rustling the leaves.
The women from the aristocratic families patted the fallen leaves and dust off their bodies in frustration, neither of them looking too good.
Although they were born into an aristocratic family, they were not from the eldest branch, let alone the eldest daughter of the first wife. Most of them had come to the capital in the past month or two under the guise of following their father to celebrate the new year.
However, they had only one purpose for coming to the capital.
That was to become the Eldest Princess Consort.
Because the Eldest Prince would be coming to the hunting ground today, girls like them, who were usually pampered, lowered themselves to such a dirty and dangerous place.
However…
The women from the aristocratic families looked at each other, their eyes revealing some grievances and unwillingness.
Aristocratic families paid attention to matching families, and usually, they would only marry into aristocratic families with few exceptions.
Even if Chu Yi was the only son of the current Emperor, his future was still uncertain. After all, it was unknown who would win between him and Kang Wang.
These ladies were like “offerings” sent out by their families, gambling on the Eldest Prince’s future.
However, if the position of Princess Consort was already occupied, they could not let the daughters of noble families be secondary consorts, right?!
As they thought about it, the gazes of the women from the aristocratic families changed again with a hint of hostility.
Yu Chaoyun bit her lower lip. The anger from the golden collar being stepped on had been completely suppressed, and her feelings turned into an even more complicated emotion that surged in her dark eyes.
The bone-chilling wind blew coldly on their faces, scraping their delicate skin like knives. Not only did they feel pain, but they also felt cold in their bodies and minds.
Not far behind, Gu Yuan was also dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the two familiar figures in front of him, unable to hide the surprise on his usually cold face.
This, this, this…
A possibility appeared in Gu Yuan’s heart. He suddenly turned to look at the flintlock in Si Hai’s hand.
Si Hai held the gun so tightly that even the cat paw mark on the gun could not be seen.
Gu Yuan glared at Si Hai angrily, the feeling in his heart indescribable. His heart was sour and stuffy, as if something was blocking his heart or as if his beloved treasure was about to be snatched away.
Si Hai looked at Gu Yuan in confusion.
Gu Yuan ignored Si Hai and turned back. Chu Yi, who was in front, got on his horse again. His bearing was beautiful, showing the elegant bearing of a noble young master.
The lively white horse happily swung its tail a few more times, as if it was playing with Gu Yanfei, making her smile sweetly.
When the slender girl stood with the tall and strong white horse, she looked so slender and weak, as if a mountain breeze would blow her away.
“…” Gu Yuan sighed silently, and his heart softened. Other than his sister, he could not see anyone else.
Not only Gu Yuan, but Baili Yin was also staring at Gu Yanfei without blinking.
She was really beautiful.
She was so beautiful that he couldn’t look away.
The sound of hooves could be heard as another horse strolled over from behind and stopped beside Baili Yin.
Then, a familiar low male voice entered her ears. “The famous flower hasn’t been taken.”
Baili Yin turned his head and raised his eyebrows to meet Chu You’s meaningful eagle eyes.
“There’s no hurry.” A frivolous smile hung on Baili Yin’s face. He shrugged and glanced at Chu You before looking at Gu Yanfei’s departing back.
The girls chatted and laughed.
“Yanfei.” Lu Qin rode her horse next to Gu Yanfei and was almost close to her. “I hunted a hare today. I’ll roast it for you later, okay? My roasting skills are good, and the hare will be delicious.”
“Don’t listen to her bragging. Only half of the rabbit she roasts can be eaten. The other half is always charred…”
