Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 210 I was a high mountain, yet for you I became a trickling stream.

Lu Beimo's comment, "You insist on suppressing me," was a joke. You could tell he was in a good mood and had a cheerful personality.

But what about the man in front of you?

Chu Yueli smiled somewhat sarcastically: "When I was twelve years old, I went to war with you for the first time. I showed off my archery skills in front of the soldiers and was slightly better than you, Your Highness. Have you forgotten what you said, Your Highness?"

Lu Fengjin had obviously forgotten when this happened.

Twelve years old? Then he must have been only seventeen or eighteen? How could he remember something from so long ago?

"What...did I say?"

“The prince said, ‘What kind of behavior is it for a young lady to show her face in public? My brothers cheered for me, but you told me to go back to my tent to rest. You were even angry with me that day and refused to eat dinner with me.’”

Chu Yueli sat on horseback, looking at him with indifferent eyes: "On the first expedition, you looked at the footprints on the ground and said there were more than three thousand enemies. I said there were less than three hundred, but you wouldn't believe me."

"Later, the prince sent a large force, which resulted in the loss of more than a thousand men, the killing of more than two hundred enemy soldiers, and the escape of more than a hundred. Qin Wu only said that he should have listened to Miss Li, and you were so angry that you didn't speak to me for three days."

With each word she spoke, Lu Fengjin's heart felt as if it had been stabbed hard by something.

Qin Wu, standing to the side, lowered his eyes.

Some things, if no one mentions them, he forgets about.

But now, as Miss Li spoke of it, he was filled with dread.

Because, it seems, he remembered that it was indeed true!

"That same year, during a military celebration, the brothers were having a competition. In a moment of excitement, I accidentally knocked the longsword out of your hand, and you were sullen about it for several days..."

"So, you're saying that your swordsmanship is even better than mine? You're some kind of expert?" Lu Fengjin didn't believe it, he would never believe it!

Chu Yueli simply smiled and said, "Then I might not be better at swordsmanship than Your Highness. After all, my preferred weapon is not a longsword."

"You're talking nonsense!" Lu Fengjin practically roared.

Chu Yueli didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. She just looked at the sky above her head and murmured, "I was originally a high mountain, but I was willing to become a trickle for you. But in the end, you actually think that I am just a young lady who doesn't know anything, and that you are roaming the world with a girl who is inferior to me in every way."

"You think she's different from others and superior, but you don't know that in my eyes she's not even as good as an ant. I wouldn't even want to waste my energy dealing with her."

Chu Yueli pulled on the reins and spurred the horse.

The horse neighed and charged off in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace.

Only her indifferent and uninteresting voice remained in the air: "Let's go to the beast zone!"

The sound seemed to linger, still swaying in the wind, but the man and horse had completely disappeared, leaving only wisps of dust.

Chu Xiaohe was dumbfounded.

"My goodness!" When did his sister's riding skills become so superb!

Madam Ning took the lead and chased after them, with Miao Yucui and Huo Qing following closely behind.

Chu Xiaohe immediately bowed to Lu Fengjin and said, "Your Highness, I must go now. I think I won't be able to catch up! Farewell!"

Without waiting for Lu Fengjin's response, he quickly spurred his horse and chased after him. It was clear that he was very anxious, as he might really not be able to catch up.

The group left as quickly as the wind.

As Lu Fengjin watched Chu Xiaohe disappear, his heart sank, and for a moment, he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.
