"Peng Shao, I heard there's a new purebred horse at the stables recently. Want to give it a try?"
Seeing that Peng Ying's expression hadn't improved, Wang Xiang immediately suggested.
As Peng Ying's confidant, he naturally had to pay attention to his master's every need and resolve his troubles.
The others also looked towards Peng Ying.
"Alright, let's go take a look."
Peng Ying nodded.
The rest of the group immediately got up.
The group headed straight for the stables.
Upon arriving at the stables, Wang Xiang beckoned to someone nearby.
"Go, fetch the new purebred horse from your stables."
Although Wang Xiang was deferential to Peng Ying, he was extremely arrogant towards others.
The stable staff member in charge said, "I'm sorry, guests. May I ask if you have prior riding experience? Our purebred horses are a bit spirited and require..."
"Stop with the nonsense. We're regulars here. A mere purebred horse? Just go fetch it, quickly!"
As soon as Wang Xiang heard the staff member's words, his face turned hostile, and he started yelling.
The staff member, seeing the demeanor of this group, who were clearly wealthy and influential, realized he couldn't afford to offend them.
"Hey, aren't those two over there Gong Chengbin and his friend?"
"It really looks like them."
"Damn, small world, running into them here!"
Peng Ying glanced towards the side of the stables and indeed saw Gong Chengbin and Du Fei, who had just left.
Each of them was leading a horse. The one Du Fei was leading was very tall and appeared extraordinary.
They were walking towards the racecourse, chatting and laughing.
Seeing this, Peng Ying's expression turned grim, and he strode towards them.
As for the others, seeing Peng Ying move, they naturally followed suit.
"Du Fei, you're amazing. The staff just said that after this horse arrived, it had already injured several guests, and no one has been able to handle it yet. Yet, as soon as you approached, it obediently let you lead it. I really can't figure it out."
Gong Chengbin looked at the purebred horse Du Fei was leading, his face filled with admiration.
Men, after all, loved coolness and the thrill of speed.
The purebred horse before them perfectly fit their desires.
But as the staff member had just said, this horse had a fiery temperament, and even skilled riders dared not try to handle it easily. Yet Du Fei had effortlessly subdued it.
This was why Gong Chengbin was completely impressed with Du Fei.
"Perhaps it's because this horse and I have a connection."
Du Fei replied, stroking the purebred horse beside him. The purebred horse affectionately nuzzled him with its head.
The man and the horse acted as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time, making Gong Chengbin a little envious.
"Du Fei, how about we have a competition? Don't think your horse is better than mine. Skill is very important. I'll show you my horsemanship later."
Gong Chengbin decided to regain face in other ways.
Du Fei readily agreed.
As the two of them arrived on the track and were about to mount their horses.
"Why are you guys here too?"
The racetrack was blocked by Peng Ying and his group, who had intercepted Du Fei and Gong Chengbin.
Peng Ying smiled, "What's wrong, Chengbin? You don't look too happy to see us?"
This remark instantly pushed Gong Chengbin to the opposing side of the crowd.
Gong Chengbin frowned slightly, inwardly displeased with Peng Ying's provocative words.
"Peng Ying, I didn't say that. However, I'm about to ride with my friend, so please excuse us."
Peng Ying didn't move aside. Instead, he turned to Du Fei and said, "My friend, I really like the horse you're leading. How about letting me try it first?"
"You can try, after I'm done riding."
Du Fei said calmly.
After speaking, he led the purebred horse, intending to go around Peng Ying.
"Young Master Peng said he wanted to try this horse. My friend, aren't you being a bit disrespectful to Young Master Peng by doing this?"
Wang Xiang took a step to the side, blocking Du Fei.
Gong Chengbin pointed at Wang Xiang and said, "Wang Xiang! Who do you think you are? Daring to threaten my friend?"
Although Wang Xiang's family business had been growing under Peng Ying's patronage, it was nowhere near the same level as the Gong family.
Even though Gong Chengbin was just the second son of the Gong family and not highly regarded, he was still a member of the Gong family.
Therefore, being cursed at by Gong Chengbin, Wang Xiang's face turned red, but he dared not retort.
"Chengbin! We're all friends, there's no need for this."
Peng Ying hadn't expected Gong Chengbin to directly curse Wang Xiang, who was acting on his behalf, to his face.
But no matter what, Wang Xiang was his man, and his previous actions were for him. Peng Ying had to speak up.
"Peng Ying, I'll say it again. My friend and I are going to ride now. You can get out of the way immediately!"
Gong Chengbin's face was cold, and his gaze was somber as he stared at the group before him.
Everyone stared at by Gong Chengbin, except for Peng Ying, subconsciously took two steps back.
"Forget it, A Bin. If they want to ride, let them ride."
Just then, Du Fei suddenly spoke.
Gong Chengbin looked at Du Fei, almost thinking he had misheard.
"Du Fei, don't bother with them, we..."
"A Bin, let them ride."
Du Fei interrupted Gong Chengbin.
Gong Chengbin couldn't understand why Du Fei would do this.
Was Du Fei afraid of Peng Ying?
It was impossible. From his understanding, Du Fei was calm and composed even in front of his own grandfather, let alone Peng Ying.
However, since Du Fei chose to yield, Gong Chengbin wouldn't say anything more.
"Chengbin, your friend offered it voluntarily, you know."
Peng Ying glanced at Du Fei and then said to Gong Chengbin.
Looking at Peng Ying's meaningful expression, Gong Chengbin really wanted to rush up and slap him.
Du Fei let go of the reins he was holding and walked to the side, as if he had indeed given way.
The purebred horse, seeing Du Fei suddenly let go and walk away, was a little confused.
However, it then spontaneously walked towards Du Fei.
At this moment, Wang Xiang stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the purebred horse, intending to lead it to Peng Ying.
"Hiss."
The purebred horse had only walked halfway when it was suddenly pulled back.
When it turned its head and saw that it was Wang Xiang who had grabbed it, it directly threw its head up, causing Wang Xiang to stumble.
Wang Xiang hadn't expected the purebred horse to do this, almost making a fool of himself in front of everyone, which he felt was a huge loss of face.
"Get over here, you bastard!"
Enraged, Wang Xiang tightened his grip, trying to pull the purebred horse over.
Unexpectedly, his action directly angered the purebred horse.
"Hiss!"
This time, the purebred horse didn't just throw its head up. It lowered its head and charged towards Wang Xiang.
With a crash.
Before anyone could react, Wang Xiang had been sent flying.
Immediately after, the purebred horse arrived at the spot where Wang Xiang had fallen and raised its front hoof, about to stomp down.
