Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General-Chapter 194: Horse Riding

"Can't you go back?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Qian Jue replied, "If I could go back, why would I need you to do anything?"

"Then how did you come here?" Feng Qingyi asked curiously.

At the mention of this topic, Qian Jue fell silent.

How he came here was rather laughable, when he thought about it.

Pushed into hell by his own family and friends, he unexpectedly survived and, by chance, arrived in this world.

It had been ten years now. In that time, he had almost forgotten those memories, until Guang'an appeared, wanting to set everything right again.

And the person before him now, or rather what she possessed, was the key to returning everything to its original state.

"It's been too long, I've forgotten," he said.

Feng Qingyi keenly noticed the change in Qian Jue's mood.

"If you've forgotten, then you've forgotten. Aren't you living quite well here now anyway?"

"Indeed, it is quite good..."

Except for the initial difficulty in adapting when he first arrived, everything had been good since then.

Using his abilities, he had achieved an enviable life. Although there were frequent wars here, he remained unaffected.

Until he met Guang'an later, someone like him.

He had a special ability: the power to foresee the future.

When they first met, Guang'an wasn't a monk yet, nor was he the abbot of Guanyuan Temple.

Later, who knows what he foresaw, but he suddenly entered the Buddhist order, catching Qian Jue off guard.

Guang'an was too stubborn; once he decided on something, no one could change his mind.

Buddhism preaches that all is emptiness and the six senses should be purified. Although he didn't meet these standards at all, Guanyuan Temple accepted him nonetheless.

Later, he rose to fame with his ability to predict the future, becoming Master Guang'an, revered by the people.

Meanwhile, Qian Jue continued to live freely, playing his way through life.

He actually thought spending the rest of his life here wouldn't be so bad, after all, there wasn't much left in that world for him to care about.

But Guang'an didn't think so. He had been constantly searching for a way to return, never giving up.

Even with the space stone, he still couldn't return to the world he originally belonged to.

Now that things had taken a turn, Qian Jue understood why he wanted to seize this opportunity, but he didn't agree with it.

According to Guang'an, he had been in this world for over twenty years now. If he went back now, things would likely have changed beyond recognition. Who would even remember him?

"This is the deed to that shop in the east of the city. Take it. I'll be going now, I don't want to disturb your outing with others."

Qian Jue left carrying a package, while Feng Qingyi returned to her bedroom to change clothes.

At the mansion's gate, Xu Linghe and Hong Ying were knocking, but no one came to open after a long while.

"Miss, do you think this Miss Feng you mentioned might not be home?" Hong Ying asked.

Xu Linghe replied, "I made an appointment with her for today last time. I'll climb over the wall and take a look."

"...Climbing the wall? That doesn't seem right!" Hong Ying said.

Xu Linghe wasn't concerned, "What's wrong with that? You wait here, and I'll go see if she's in."

Hong Ying said, "Then please be careful, Miss."

Xu Linghe went to the left side of the main gate and with a light jump, she was over the wall.

She walked towards Feng Qingyi's courtyard, calling out, "Qingyi, are you here?"

Feng Qingyi opened the door, "Linghe, you're here!"

"I looked around, how come there's not a single person in your mansion?" Xu Linghe asked, puzzled.

Feng Qingyi replied, "I only stay here occasionally."

Xu Linghe: "Then where do you usually live? And such a big mansion, surely you don't clean it all by yourself?"

"Oh, I don't need to do that. Come quickly, look at this phone I bought for you."

Feng Qingyi took out a rose gold colored phone from a small bag and handed it to Xu Linghe.

Xu Linghe exclaimed excitedly, "Qingyi, quick, teach me how to use this thing!"

After teaching Xu Linghe some basic functions of the phone, she became particularly interested in the camera feature and started taking pictures of everything.

"Qingyi, thank you, this treasure is amazing! As we agreed last time, I'm taking you horseback riding today. Let's go!"

Hong Ying had been waiting outside the gate for a long time and finally heard the sound of it opening.

"Miss, you're finally out!"

Xu Linghe pulled Feng Qingyi along, "This is our family's carriage. We'll take it there. Only in the outskirts can we ride horses freely."

In the carriage, Xu Linghe continued to take photos with her phone, including several of Feng Qingyi.

Arriving in the outskirts, Feng Qingyi was led by Xu Linghe to an estate.

"This all belongs to my family. There are many horses over there, come with me to choose one."

Feng Qingyi: "I don't know how to ride a horse." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"That's alright, I'll teach you. It's very simple," Xu Linghe said.

Feng Qingyi nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."

"We're friends now, no need to be so formal. The horses over here are quite gentle. Choose one, I'll give it to you."

Feng Qingyi quickly waved her hands, "Thank you, but that's not necessary. I don't have a place to keep it, and besides, you already gave me a sword last time."

Xu Linghe: "That was nothing, it wasn't worth much. The horse can stay here on this estate. I'll tell the staff, and you can come anytime."

"I think this white horse suits you very well. Come over and get familiar with it. Later, I'll teach you how to ride."

Under Xu Linghe's guidance, Feng Qingyi fed the horse some grass.

"This horse seems to like you a lot. Lead it by the reins, we'll go to the field in front. It's more spacious there, perfect for horseback riding."

Arriving at the field Xu Linghe mentioned, Feng Qingyi looked at the open space and felt her mood lighten.

Whether it was due to Xu Linghe's excellent teaching or Feng Qingyi's natural talent for horseback riding, it wasn't long before she could ride the horse around the field on her own.

Seeing that Feng Qingyi had learned the basics, Xu Linghe mounted her own chestnut-colored horse and started to gallop.

"Qingyi, you can try to make the horse run now."

Feng Qingyi gripped the reins, feeling a bit scared, "I don't dare!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, aren't I? I'll protect you. I'll stay right beside you."

Encouraged by Xu Linghe's words, Feng Qingyi became a bit braver, "Alright, I'll try."

Feng Qingyi urged her white horse into a slow trot. The oncoming wind tousled her hair, but it felt incredibly refreshing.

After riding for a few hours, the two lay down on the nearby grassland.

Xu Linghe: "Qingyi, I forgot to tell you, I put Shangguan Yi in a sack and beat him up last time!"

Feng Qingyi: "I thought you were joking with me last time. I can't believe you actually did it, that's impressive!"

Xu Linghe: "He deserved it. I neither provoked nor offended him, yet every day when he sees me, he mocks me for not being feminine and says I'll never get married."

"At first, I couldn't be bothered to care, but then he went too far. He actually embarrassed me in front of everyone, causing my father to confine me at home for a month."
