After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

It was this adopted son of the Ye family who caused Qi Bowen to unilaterally break the agreement with the Zhao family, which meant that Zhao Wuyai had to quickly find another feng shui master.

Those who can reach that level are not so easy to find.

This naturally made him hate Ye Bai to the core.

Adding to the fact that the other party also stole his goddess, it was a classic case of combining old and new grudges.

The fact that he didn't take action immediately was already the greatest restraint he could show!

"none of your business."

Faced with this guy who was so hostile to him, Ye Bai had no interest in saying another word.

Having spent some time with Qin Wanqing in the so-called elite circles of Jingzhou, Ye Bai discovered that some of these scions of wealthy families were truly shameless and extremely hypocritical.

Even though they clearly wanted to pull out a knife and stab someone, they would pretend to be kind and first use sarcastic remarks to provoke the other person and make them lose their temper and take the first step.

This is some kind of self-defense charade!

Ye Bai had no interest in playing games, so he went straight for the direct confrontation.

Anyway, he's not from a wealthy family, so there's no need for him to put on airs.

"Ye Bai! How dare you speak to me like that?"

A cold glint flashed in Zhao Wuyai's eyes; he was utterly enraged.

Before he could react, cheers erupted from the crowd nearby. It was the equestrian competition between Qin Wanqing and Zhu Daji that had begun.

"Let you be arrogant for a while, I hope you have the guts to stay here!"

Zhao Wuyai took a deep breath, let out a cold snort, and turned to leave.

"Ah, if only we were still in the mountains."

Ye Bai glanced at Zhao Wuyai's retreating figure and sighed sadly.

The first event in equestrian competitions is dressage, which requires riders and horses to display elegant movements.

It includes fast walking, slow walking, and running, and includes both prescribed dance steps and free dance steps.

In short, this project emphasizes "elegance" and the accuracy of completing dance steps.

Qin Wanqing won this round without any doubt.

As long as she wasn't with Ye Bai, Queen Qin could still exude elegance to the fullest, even when riding a horse.

In fact, Zhu Daji was not bad either, but her temperament was too much on the flirtatious side. She was just as attractive to men, but she was still somewhat inferior to Qin Wanqing in terms of elegance.

However, after losing a round, the great demon showed no signs of frustration or disappointment, as if it had expected this all along.

Noticing this, Ye Bai couldn't help but worry, recalling what Li Fengyun had said to him earlier.

Could it be that Zhu Daji practiced horseback riding diligently for a period of time, abandoning the first skill in favor of focusing on the latter two?

If that's the case, it's somewhat similar to the story of Tian Ji's horse race.

The strategy was simple, but equally effective.

Losing the first round, in particular, could easily give Qin Wanqing the wrong impression that Zhu Daji's skill level is still the same as before, without any improvement.

This makes it easier for carelessness to occur in the second game.

As it turns out, Ye Bai's worries were not unfounded.

The second event is show jumping, which tests the horse's jumping ability and the rider's rhythm control.

Riders must guide their horses over 12 obstacles, including double obstacles and triple obstacles, within a specified time.

In this game, Zhu Daji's hard-earned horsemanship finally paid off.

Although it hasn't reached the level of perfect harmony between rider and horse, the coordination with the horse is quite good, and each obstacle is overcome very well.

On the contrary, Qin Wanqing made a mistake at the last obstacle and lost the competition.

"Qin Wanqing, you've been in a wheelchair for over a month, and your riding skills seem to have deteriorated a lot! Why don't you just admit defeat? That way you can save some face."

Zhu Daji stood in front of Qin Wanqing, her high breasts puffed out, her pretty face full of smugness, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes smiling into crescent shapes.

There was no way around it; she had finally won a match against her opponent after all these years, and the feeling was just too good to pass up.

If there weren't so many people present, she would have cheered loudly long ago.

"You've made quite a bit of progress, which really surprised me. But it's too early to be happy now; there's still the third project to go. Don't forget, this is the project I'm best at!"

Qin Wanqing was not angry, nor did she show any frustration at losing a round on her pretty face; instead, she remained calm and composed.

Although they are both daughters of wealthy families and are not much different in age, Qin Wanqing has been in charge of the Qin Group for the past few years, experiencing many ups and downs.

In contrast, Zhu Daji was always a pampered young lady, spoiled by Old Madam Zhu, spending her days eating, drinking, and having fun.

These different experiences not only created huge differences in personality, but also made them completely different in terms of self-cultivation.

To put it bluntly, this great demon's cultivation level is far inferior to that of Queen Qin.

"You're definitely going to lose today!"

Zhu Daji snorted, then looked at Ye Bai not far away and waved to him with a charming smile, "Little Bai, you can have someone pack your luggage now. You can move into the Zhu family today. I've had the rooms prepared for you."

...What the hell is this little white rabbit?!

Hearing Zhu Daji address him as such, Ye Bai almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

This vixen is getting more and more smug. Ye Bai is finally starting to understand Qin Wanqing's feelings.

This weakling, who's bad at the game and loves to play, still likes to provoke people all the time; most people couldn't resist him.

"Ladies, I have a suggestion. How about we change the format for this third competition?"

At this moment, Zhao Wuyai suddenly walked over and said with a smile.

"What insightful opinion does Young Master Zhao have?"

Qin Wanqing glanced at Zhao Wuyai but remained silent. Zhu Daji, however, asked with a coquettish smile, her curiosity piqued.

"The third event in equestrian events is cross-country. It requires riders and horses to cross obstacles such as ditches, stone walls, and water barriers within a specified time. If a rider falls off their horse, they are eliminated from the competition."

"I think this kind of rough work shouldn't be done by two beautiful women. If they get their clothes dirty, it would be a desecration of their beauty."

"How about this, for this third round, Ye Bai and I will compete in place of the two beauties. I will represent Daji, and Ye Bai will represent Wanqing. As for the bet, it will remain the same as before."

Zhao Wuyai adopted a charming demeanor, his smile growing even brighter.

"Young Master Zhao's suggestion is excellent! That's the way to go. Since Miss Qin and Miss Zhu each won one of the previous two matches, let's settle the score in the third match!"

As soon as Zhao Wuyai finished speaking, many people began to agree.

The Zhao family is the second most powerful family among the four major families in Jingzhou. Since there is a rare opportunity to flatter the eldest son of the Zhao family, I naturally cannot miss it.

"I have absolutely no objection, but I'm afraid some people might be too afraid. Nobody in the entire high society of Jingzhou knows that your riding skills, Young Master Zhao, are the best among the sons of wealthy families!"

Zhu Daji's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to look at Qin Wanqing.

Sure enough, Queen Qin's expression finally turned ugly...
