Chapter 6 The First Outstanding Talent

  I saw those women in Chinese clothes pick him up, felt relieved, closed his eyes and waited for the death sentence.

  After waiting for a long time, the expected pain did not come, and I only heard a horse's frightened neigh. I tentatively opened my eyes, completely stunned.

  All I saw was a young man in a pale blue long shirt standing in front of me, one arm wrapped around my waist to prevent me from falling. His amber eyes reflected the flustered me, and his handsome face was full of concern. A strand of raven-black hair that had been fixed by a white jade hairpin floated onto my face, causing a tingling sensation.

  I suddenly realized that this tall and slender man had actually lifted the hoof with his bare hands. Was I saved by him?!

  The noble lady in embroidered clothes paused for a moment, put away the silver and said: "May I ask which young lady you are? I will go back to report to my master's house and then come again to thank you heavily.

  "Huh? Isn't that Chihiro?" Before I could even respond to the woman in embroidered clothes, a voice of disbelief rang out from beside me as a young woman pointed at the man who had just rescued me.

  The woman next to her chimed in: "Really, the number one talented young man, Yi Qian Xun..."
