Chapter 68 The Curtain Falls

  "Hmm!" Lin Feng's face flushed with a red glow, and he softly responded.

  "Hurry up! Those two little beauties can't wait any longer!" Ye Zi chuckled.

  "Yè Zǐ, I really don't have anything to do with them," Lín Fēng said repeatedly.

  "I knew it, haha." Ye Zi smiled and said, "I was just joking with you. Alright, hurry up and go!"

  "Oh!" Lin Feng replied.

  Watching Ye Zi's beautiful figure, Lin Feng felt a thousand regrets in his heart, but ultimately turned around.

  "Let's chase the wind!" Lin Feng said, lightly leaping onto the back of the little pony.

  The little colt "Chase the Wind" let out a strange whinny, turned its head to glance at Whistling Winds, and then galloped away with all four hooves towards the outside of the forest.

  "What a devoted fellow." Ye Zi gazed at the boy's receding figure and let out a soft sigh.

  "It must be like this when you fall in love for the first time!"

  "If it were Qin Hao, that wooden head, who could treat me like this, it would be even better..."

  ……

  Pursuing the wind is after all the descendant of a whistling wind, although its body is thin and weak, but its speed is not too slow. When it advances at full speed, it's not much different from an ordinary black horse. Moreover, its slender body makes it more agile when running in the forest.

  From the sulfur lake in the center of Tianma Forest to the area where Su Yan and the others were, a distance of over 200 miles, was quickly reached.

  "It's been so long, why hasn't Brother Lin come back yet?" Su Ying said with some concern, "I hope nothing has happened to him!"

  "Don't talk nonsense!" Su Yan glared at her sister, "How could anything happen to Brother Lin, he's so powerful!"

  "But that guy has a weapon, and Lin is unarmed..." Su Ying frowned.

  "Look, Brother Lin is back!" Fang Qingfeng pointed into the distance, excitedly saying.

  Three people looked back and saw a horse rushing towards them from the woods. The handsome young man on the horse's back was not Lin Feng, but who else could it be?

  "Big Brother Lin!" Su Ying exclaimed, rushing over in excitement.

  Lin Feng laughed and jumped off his horse's back: "This time chasing after that guy, it took a bit longer than expected, making everyone worried, haha!"

  Su Yan said: "Lin brother, did you catch up with that guy? - This little horse really looks strange!"

  Chasing the wind coldly glanced at Su Yan, and Su Yan's face changed color. The eyes of this little pony were sharp as a knife, making him feel a chill run down his spine!

  Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's already been solved! Fang young lady, this time you guessed wrong. The one who ambushed you wasn't our Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry, but rather Liu Bai!"

  "Li Bai! It's that guy!" Fang Qingxue exclaimed.

  "It was Liu Bai!" Su Yan said, "That guy has been eyeing Qingfeng, I should have thought of him earlier!"

  "But... how could Liu Bai possibly bring the Tianxing Bow in?" Su Ying asked in puzzlement.

  Lin Feng smiled and said, "This Liu Bai is not a simple guy. His true identity is the young master of the Kun Jade Sect. He was able to bring his weapon in because he has an extremely rare spatial container on him!"

  "Kun Yu's young master!" Su Yan's face turned cold, "So this guy is a spy!"

  "Lin Ge, what about Liu Bai? How is he now?" Fang Qingfeng asked.

  "He's dead!" Lin Feng said, "In the Tianma Forest, there are still our Xuanji Heavy Cavalry's experts. Liu Bai was killed by that person!"

  "Good riddance, haha!" Su Yan clapped his hands and said.

  "It turned out to be this matter." Fang Qingxiang shook her head and said, "I thought it was someone from the Gan Li faction, but it seems I was wrong."

  Lin Feng nodded and said, "A senior once said that although the internal struggle of the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry is intense, on the battlefield, they can still entrust their backs to each other as brothers. As a hundred-man commander, how could Gan Li use such tactics on a newly promoted knight?"

  Fang Qingxue nodded.

  "Lin Ge, is this really the mount you chose?" Su Ying looked at Chui Feng and said, "It looks so ugly! But its eyes look really intimidating!"

  "It's called Wind Chaser, and from now on it'll be my partner!" Lin Feng patted Wind Chaser's head with a smile.

  Fang Qingxue said: "Choosing a mount is a kind of fate between the rider and the mount. This little guy must have a good affinity with Lin!"

  Lin Feng nodded and smiled, but the things inside were too unbelievable to be told, and he didn't plan to tell these few people either.

  "Alright! The sneak attacker has been taken care of, let's continue selecting our mounts!" Su Yan said, "Lin Big Brother already has a suitable mount, we also need to quickly find one that suits ourselves."

  "Hmm!" Su Ying and Fang Qingxiang both nodded.

  ……

  The next day.

  Tianma Forest, by a lake.

  Su Yan held a handful of fresh green grass, and a tall black horse opened its big mouth to swallow all the grass, slowly chewing it. After finishing chewing, the black horse shook its head and let out a long neigh, looking very satisfied.

  "Come on, follow me, I'll take you out to see the world." Su Yan patted Hei Dian Ma's head and smiled.

  The black horse let out a loud snort and rubbed its head affectionately against Su Yan's body.

  "Haha! It agreed!" Su Yan happily laughed out loud.

  Lin Feng and the other two also walked over from afar.

  "Su Yan, congratulations!" Fang Qing Shuang said with a smile.

  "Brother, you found a mount so quickly, and it's even faster than mine!" Su Ying pouted.

  "Haha!" Su Yan laughed happily, "Lin's mount is called Pursuing Wind, I also want to give my mount a loud name."

  "What's your name? Have you thought of one?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

  "Look, my baby is all green and its fur is as shiny as frost and snow. I think I'll just call it 'Green Frost'!" Su Yan said with a sly smile.

  "Su Yan, you dare!" Fang Qing Xiang's slender eyebrows rose in anger, her voice cold.

  "Haha!" Lin Feng and Su Ying both burst out laughing.

  Three more days passed.

  By the side of a clear and calm little river, Fang Qingfeng was riding on a tall black horse with a joyful smile all over her face. Su Yingze, who still hadn't found a suitable mount, pouted in dissatisfaction...

  Five days later.

  "Come here, little horse, be my mount, okay?" Looking at a spirited black horse, Su Ying said with an almost pleading tone.

  Hei Mei Ma looked at Su Ying with a proud expression, disdainfully snorted and turned around to walk away slowly.

  "It's almost time, and these guys are ignoring me, what can I do?!" Su Ying said helplessly, her small face also showing a look of anxiety.

  Lin Feng shook his head and walked up to the black stallion.

  "Listen, go be her steed. I guarantee, she'll treat you as a friend."

  Lin Feng patted the black horse's head and said.

  "Hei Lu" The black horse neighed in dissatisfaction and turned to Su Ying, lowering its head obediently.

  "Little horse, did you promise?" Su Ying's small face showed a hint of excitement.

  "Lin Ge, how did you manage to do it?" Fang Qingfeng asked in astonishment.

  "This... I don't know either." Lin Feng shook his head.

  He himself also finds this ability to get close to Hei Wu Ma inexplicable.

  "Let's go! Now that we've all found suitable mounts, let's hurry back!" Su Yan said.

  ……

  Heavenly Horse Forest Edge, Heavy Armor Cavalry Camp.

  Lin Feng and his three companions rode out of the forest on their respective mounts.

  The ten-day deadline is approaching, and they are also the last ones to leave Tianma Forest, while others have already found their own mounts.

  The young men and women who had already found their mounts were waiting in the military camp, and when they saw Lin Feng and his four companions appear, their eyes were instantly drawn to Chu Xiang.

  That strange little colt naturally caused a stir.

  "Look! Look at that guy called Lin Feng. His mount... is so ugly!"

  "That's a black donkey, it's more like a mule!"

  "What kind of monster could be born in the Tianma Forest?"

  "This Lin Feng is also a guy from the Sixth Layer of Tiger Form Fist, how can he be so muddled, bringing out such a small thing as his mount!"

  People's gossip also fell into Lin Feng's ears. He smiled lightly, not taking it to heart. Fang Qingxue looked at Lin Feng with a smile, nodding secretly in her heart. Su Ying's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

  "That's enough!" Centurion Gan Li's face sank, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!"

  The newly appointed knights were startled and quickly shut their mouths. The heavy armor of the Xuanjia cavalry was strict, and the pressure of a hundred soldiers was not something they could offend.

  "Knights and mounts, it's all about fate! Treat your mount like you would treat your own brother!" Gan Li scolded with a stern face, "This little colt becoming Lin Feng's mount is the fate between them! What it looks like has nothing to do with any of you!"

  "When you go to serve in the army, who dares to comment on Bao Zhe's horse like that? That is a serious crime! At that time, your own brother will have a life-and-death duel with you, let's see how you'll handle it!"

  Everyone was silent, and in their hearts they were also thinking about what Gan Li had said.

  Fang Qing looked at Gan Li, and this bad-tempered guy became even more lovely in her eyes. Thinking of how she had wronged Gan Li by secretly plotting against herself, she also found it somewhat laughable. However, this matter...she naturally wouldn't say a word about it.

  "Everyone is here, come and get your equipment from me!" Gan Li shouted.

  "Sir, Liu Bai from our group hasn't come out yet..." a thin and small boy said cautiously.

  "Laozi said it's enough, then it's enough! Why so many useless words!" Gan Li glared and said.

  "Yes, sir." The young man was startled and quickly shut his mouth.

  Lin Feng and a few others exchanged a glance, apparently Gan Li had already known about this matter.

  "I don't know how Ye Zi informed Gan Li." Lin Feng thought to himself.

  Gan Li clapped his hands, and a dozen or so knights walked over. Some held giant bows in their hands, some carried quivers full of long arrows, while others hugged heavy broadswords.

  Everyone walked over one by one, received their own Tianxing Bow and armor-piercing arrow. Others had knights walk to the front of everyone's mount, tying saddles onto the mounts' bodies.

  "Alright!" After everyone had received their equipment, Gan Li shouted, "The rest of the equipment, the war armor for your warhorses and your star armor, will be issued when we arrive at our destination. From now on, you are truly the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry! Now I announce where you will be serving!"

  Everyone was listening intently, and Lin Feng's heart also became increasingly excited.

  Life of blood and fire, is it finally coming?

  ……
