It had a coat that was so black and smooth that it shined, it's silky mane swept back in the wind. It looked handsome and elegant. Its gaze was deep and calm, like a lake without any ripples, as it trotted over confidently to Li Lei and lowered its head gracefully to its owner.

"It's so beautiful." Someone exclaimed softly.

Even though they had just seen Li Lei ride it earlier, the beauty of this horse was such that you were in awe every time you saw it.

Li Lei laughed as he patted the horse on the head, and then turned to introduce it to Xia Ling. "Its name is Thunder, you can ride it." He had named the horse after himself, showing how much he adored it. Other than Xia Ling, he had not allowed anyone else to ride it before.

Fleetingly, the rich gentlemen that knew this fact all gave Xia Ling several more looks.

Xia Ling simply walked around it observing, not indicating outright if she was going to ride it. In actual fact, when no one was looking, she had looked over to the place that Thunder had walked over from. She had wanted to see another horse, but she wasn't sure if it was still here. Was it doing well?

She looked around for a while, and just as she was feeling disappointed, a flash of a fiery red shadow appeared nearby.

That horse was like the wind and also like a fleeting, red flash of lighting. Before anyone could react, it was galloping straight towards Xia Ling. Its speed was extremely fast as it came up close from the afar in just a matter of seconds. Its grand entrance made even Li Lei's Thunder back off a little.

"Be careful!" Several people shouted out.

That horse was galloping extremely fast, if one were to be in its path, they would either land up dead or paralyzed!

Li Lei stretched out his hand, intending to pull Xia Ling to safety from this sudden occurrence. Yet, her feet seemed to have grown roots and she stood there unwavering on the same spot, watching as the horse galloped towards her.

Gosh, was she too scared to move?

Many could not bear to look, thinking that she was about to be trampled upon and become a meat patty.

Just as that horse was a half step away from Xia Ling, it stopped abruptly as quickly as it had galloped over.

How lucky...

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Yunfeng was the first to snap back to his senses, and could not resist but chide Xia Ling. "Why did you just stand there dumbly? You didn't move even when Second Young Master Li was pulling you away. Do you know how dangerous it is?!" Li Lei was unable to pull her away earlier and, hence, was unable to run out of the way in time as well. If the horse had crashed into them, whether or not Xia Ling died was secondary. If Li Lei had been harmed or injured, that would be a travesty!

"Yes, why were you in such a daze for?!" The wealthy gentlemen looking on took turns to chide her as they each snapped back to their senses.

However, at this moment, Xia Ling was not listening to them at all. Her entire focus on was this fiery red and extremely beautiful mare. She slowly reached out her hand to pat the mare's mane on the top of its neck, as if she was saying hello to a friend she hadn't seen in a long time.

The mare tamely leaned its head towards her, allowing her to stroke it tenderly, watching her with eyes as bright as precious stones. The look in its eyes contained loyalty, longing, and unspeakable sadness.
