Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

After Nangong Lin was trampled by the horse’s hoof, Mu Chuan quickly tightened the reins in his hands.

He hadn't pushed his speed to the extreme, and the force of tightening the reins just managed to veer his direction slightly, causing him to gallop past Nangong Lin.

It took several more steps before his horse finally came to a stop.

As for the situation with the student from Qingyue Academy, when Gu Jiao went to snatch Nangong Lin's ball, Mu Chuan pursued closely behind, intending to sandwich Nangong Lin between himself and Gu Jiao.

To prevent this, the Qingyue Academy student suddenly accelerated, attempting to block his path with his own horse.

Who would have expected such an incident to occur?

After Nangong Lin's piercing scream, the entire field fell silent.

The referee quickly rushed over, crouching down to look at Nangong Lin, whose face was twisted in pain, and he was momentarily shocked, "Nangong Lin, how are you?!"

How else could Nangong Lin be?

He was in excruciating pain!

He had practiced martial arts all his life and endured his fair share of pain, but this was beyond severe. His entire chest seemed to have collapsed, and his thigh bone was broken...

Every breath he took felt like a knife stabbing into his lungs.

Nangong Lin's dark guard was also stunned.

He swore to the heavens that he had aimed for that kid from Tianqiong Academy; he never intended to harm his own young master!

Gu Jiao's horse came to a stop too. She leisurely approached on horseback, looking down at the heavily injured Nangong Lin, "Oh, you’re injured? Can you still continue the match?"

Listen to that, what a gloating tone!

Nangong Lin, enduring intense pain, glared fiercely at Gu Jiao with bloodshot eyes. He said to the referee, "It's him! He's the one who did this to me!"

The referee turned sharply towards Gu Jiao.

The audience at the scene also turned to look at the freshman from Tianqiong Academy after hearing this.

Mu Chuan retorted, "Hey! Nangong Lin! You can eat anything you want with your mouth, but don’t just spout any nonsense with it! How did our people from Tianqiong Academy harm you? Clearly, you fell down by yourself! And it was your own academy's people who trampled you! What does it have to do with us?"

The student who trampled Nangong Lin was at a loss for words, "I... I didn't do it on purpose..."

Nangong Lin knew, of course, that it wasn't intentional on his part, but this Xiao Liulang must have done it on purpose!

Nangong Lin said through gritted teeth, "Why did you suddenly bend down to snatch the ball?"

Why not sooner or later, but right when he plotted against him, did he snatch it? Who dared to say there wasn't something fishy?

Gu Jiao confidently stated, "You slowed down, so of course I snatched the ball."

Everyone paused. That’s right, Nangong Lin had indeed slowed down suddenly. If not then, when would be a better time to snatch the ball? Wait until Nangong Lin sped up again? That would be foolish, wouldn't it?

Tianqiong Academy's actions were completely reasonable!

"You... You..." Nangong Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, not knowing if it was from injury or anger.

Why did Nangong Lin slow down? Wasn't it to make it easier for the dark guard to attack Gu Jiao?

Even if he didn't understand at the time, it was clear now. He wondered why this guy took the bait so easily, following him wherever he led, and not snatching the ball along the way, even though this guy was pretty quick at snatching it up ahead.

He thought it was his superior skill preventing this guy from snatching the ball...

Now he realized, it was deliberate.

This guy saw through his plan, pretended to fall into the trap, feigned an opening, and at the critical moment, let him fall into his own trap.

But he couldn't say any of this.

If he wanted to prove that this guy had plotted against him, he would have to admit that he had planned to scheme against him first.

Cheating would permanently disqualify him from ever competing again and make him a laughingstock throughout Shengdu. He couldn't afford that disgrace.

So he could only grit his teeth and swallow this resentment.

After Nangong Lin spat out another mouthful of blood, his consciousness began to blur, and his breathing became labored and rapid.

Could Gu Jiao heal him?

The answer was yes, but why should she?

Heal him so he could come back and kill her this time?

If she hadn't dodged just now, the person now with multiple fractures and a pneumothorax would be her.

Mu Qingchen rode his horse to Gu Jiao's side and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Gu Jiao replied.

Mu Qingchen glanced at Nangong Lin being carried away and said to Gu Jiao, "Focus on the match, don't overthink."

"Okay." Gu Jiao nodded.

After Nangong Lin was carried off the field, his teammate who had accidentally trampled him also lost composure. Unable to continue the match, he was substituted out by the teacher of Qingyue Academy.

Such a big incident should logically affect the mentality of Tianqiong Academy's students to some extent as well.

However, it didn't.

Well... they really had thick skin, so to say.

The seventh chukka ended with Tianqiong Academy scoring another flag, making the score twenty to seventeen, with Qingyue Academy having seventeen.

In the final round, Xu Ping entered the game.

He needed to score three goals to tie the score. If there was only Xiao Liulang or only Mu Qingchen, he could give it a try. But with both of them together, honestly, it was a bit difficult.

That guy named Xiao Liulang was especially annoying!

If he used his ultimate moves, he was afraid that guy would steal his techniques; if he didn't use them, he was afraid of losing the match.

Xu Ping had never faced such a challenging match before.

In the end, Xu Ping decided to give it his all.

Then a bizarre scene occurred. The four players from Tianqiong Academy not only didn't try to snatch the ball but also passed it to Xu Ping.

"That shot wasn't good enough, Xu Ping almost missed it." Mu Chuan said to a Qingyue Academy student after passing the ball to Xu Ping.

The Qingyue Academy students were all baffled.

The heck, just what’s going on here?

The Tianqiong Academy students looked at Gu Jiao with an expression that said, ‘It's okay, we're ahead by three flags anyway. Take your time to learn, it's fine if we lose a few points.’

Xu Ping was nearly enraged to the point of a heart attack!

Facing opponents who collectively acted shameless was quite an experience, alright!

In the end, the only one who could defeat Xu Ping was Xu Ping himself. Gu Jiao performed exceptionally well, utilizing Xu Ping's style and teaming up strongly with Mu Qingchen, ultimately winning the match with a score of twenty-three to twenty.

This might not have been the most tactically perfect match, nor the highest difficulty level, but it was definitely the most talked-about game.

Young Master Qingchen's charisma alone dazzled the entire audience.

There was also the Tianqiong Academy's freshman stealing other’s techniques, and the collapse of the imperial polo player——was it a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?

Then the incident of Nangong Lin falling from his horse, getting him seriously injured; his life uncertain, and his future bleak.

Although there were many outstanding performances in the subsequent matches, people didn't seem as excited as expected.

Was Tianqiong Academy poisonous?

After witnessing their shameless collective play style, watching others play seemed a bit... too serious.

Something wasn't right, something was wrong with them ah!

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, replaces refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will replace you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
