The first test was Riding and Shooting.
All the participants were asked to carry out the test on the same pitch.
What surprised Gu Chaoyan was that on the way to the pitch, Gu Chaoyan ran into Li Yuanxiang who was also there for the Riding and Shooting. That startled Gu Chaoyan – so Li Yuanxiang was capable of Riding and Shooting? She was not looking down at Li Yuanxiang, but thought of what Zhang Mingyuan said earlier – few girls and even guys born in ordinary families got to learn how to do Riding and Shooting.
Li Yuanxiang thought that Li Yuanxiang was from an ordinary family since she had no maids with her. So what made her capable of Riding and Shooting?
She started to connect Li Yuanxiang and Liu Hanxiang, but she did not look into the confusion – that was not her business.
As they came to the pitch many people were already there.
Gu Chaoyan spotted County Princess Anxi from a distance away, and next to her was her sister Gu Ruxue and Huo Wei.
A brief smile hovered on Gu Chaoyan’s face as she started to walk towards them.
Gu Ruxue started to curse Gu Chaoyan at the sight of her. “Honestly, sister, what are you doing here on the pitch? Are you even aware of what item we are competing with each other for? We are doing Riding and Shooting, are you able to do that at all? Don’t think about blaming Saint College if you fall off the horse, or are you trying to get Saint College to accept you just because you get injured? Truly, sister, you are so cheeky thinking in this way!” Gu Ruxue kept mumbling and nagging.
County Princess Anxi was very satisfied. Someone helped her to curse this girl before she even needed to say anything.
“Elder Miss, don’t cry when you lose.” County Princess Anxi said to Gu Chaoyan from a commanding view.
“Same to you, County Princess Anxi.” Gu Chaoyan replied calmly. She did not think any of these participants were of any importance, not even Gu Ruxue.
County Princess Anxi’s face sank.
What a wild person! She was looking forward to seeing if she was still going to be so wild on the horse! This girl was not at all qualified to even start a competition with her! She turned to Huo Wei who nodded back at her.
Gu Chaoyan noticed what these people were doing, but she didn’t show it. She was especially capable of horse riding.
The teachers in charge of the test had arrived. They asked each participant to pick a horse and put on the uniform for Riding and Shooting.
Everyone rushed forward to get the best breeds.
When it was Gu Chaoyan and Li Yuanxiang’s turn, only one date-color horse and a white pony remained. Gu Chaoyan thought for a while and picked the white pony and spared the better one for Li Yuanxiang, because she did not know how capable this girl was when it came to horse riding – that girl got the better breed.
Li Yuanxiang was about to say something when Gu Chaoyan continued to get changed.
She followed suit.
County Princess Anxi, Huo Wei and Gu Ruxue were all out on the pitch. The three girls were dressed in tailor-made uniforms and looked extraordinarily radiant among the crowd.
The three of them had crossed their arms and waited for Gu Chaoyan to come out so that they could have a laugh.
Gu Ruxue knew that Gu Chaoyan had never prepared any uniform and she had no idea what Riding and Shooting was. Now it was time for her to have a laugh at this sister of hers. How dare she even think about competing with her! Stupid girl!
The door of the room opened and Gu Chaoyan walked out.
She was dressed in the red uniform given by Zhou Huaijin. She had lost some more weight during the past few days, so the uniform became a little oversized on her, but the slightly baggy-looking uniform made her look not only radiant but also gently beautiful.
