Chapter 340 Got Noticed!
Elder Yang and Crown Prince Feng rode on their own respective horse again to continue on their trip.
Ye Zhen and Little Xian were also given horses by the elite guards there, so they could follow Elder Yang and Crown Prince Feng too.
Even Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was also given a horse, so she could ride it like Ye Zhen and the others, but...
"Err... I... I cannot ride the horse. You all do not need to worry about me. I will follow you on foot." Tang Li Xue's perfect copy timidly said to Elder Yang and the others who still waited for her to ride on her horse and follow them on their trip.
In her previous life, Tang Li Xue spent all of her time in the hospital, and she was a fox in this current life, so how could she learn how to ride the horse?!
If anyone asked: 'Why she could ride the Wind Riding Bird?', then the answer was she never actually rode on the Wind Riding Bird.
It was more like the Wind Riding Bird carried her with it.
All of Wind Riding Birds from Myriad Foxes Academy were already trained. They were not only deft but also very clever and have a sharp sense of danger.
Different from any horse that depends on the riding skill of its rider to control it, the Wind Riding Birds only need a bit of instruction from its rider.
Even something like 'fly straight to the right or left until you find a mountain', 'keep flying at low altitude while in this valley', or 'full speed travel to the south or west', the Wind Riding Birds would immediately understand it and obeyed it without any need for further instruction.
Heck, the owner of the Wind Riding Bird could even sleep on the top of it after they gave their instruction to their Wind Riding Bird.
This was also the reason why Instructor Mei Lan said something like: 'The Wind Riding Bird you choose will not only become your mount, but will also become your important companion, so treat them well!'
The reason why Instructor Mei Lan said so was that there were so many lives of the foxes saved by their own Wind Riding Bird previously when they were on the verge of death in their mission.
Of course, what their Wind Riding Bird would do in any critical situation was dictated by their own respective nature and temperament. That was also why Instructor Mei Lan said to pick the Wind Riding Bird that suited them the most.
Because there were several different things that any Wind Riding Bird could do in the critical situation that will bring the different outcome for its owner.
For example when their owner got lethal injuries in the middle of the mission... some of the timid ones would choose to hastily escape and bring their owner back to Myriad Foxes Academy, while some of the careful ones would choose to hide their owner, and it will search for some healing herbs or medicine to help their owner recover from their injuries first.
Some of the brave ones might even choose to fight to the death with their enemies to protect their owner.
In short, Wind Riding Bird could not be compared with any horse, so do not expect any foxes in human form with rich experience in riding Wind Riding Bird to be able to ride the horse skillfully too.
Little Xian sneered mockingly at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, but before she could ridicule Tang Li Xue's perfect copy for her inability to ride on the horse...
Both Ye Zhen and Elder Yang already offered their hand to Tang Li Xue's perfect copy at the same time.
While Ye Zhen and Elder Yang glanced at each other strangely, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy felt confused so she innocently asked them: "What do you guys want to do? Holding hand with each other?"
Both Ye Zhen and Elder Yang almost fell from their horse when they heard the question from Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.
Crown Prince Feng almost laughed out loud at them, but he forcefully muffled it and covered his mouth, while Little Xian was currently madly jealous at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy. She gritted her teeth and glared venomously at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.
"Young Miss Xiao, we know you cannot ride the horse, so we offer our help to bring you touring around Tang Feng City on our horse with us." Ye Zhen smiled and explained clearly to Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.
"Oh? All right... Thank you, I will trouble you then." Tang Li Xue's perfect copy replied while smiled at Ye Zhen, and then she stretched to grasp Ye Zhen's hand.
" Cough... Cough... Entertain... Cough... I am starting to get bored now." But Elder Yang's cough and unclear words stopped Tang Li Xue's perfect copy from holding Ye Zhen's hand.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy glared at Elder Yang in anger before deciding to grasp Elder Yang's hand.
Elder Yang pulled the smooth hand of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and let her sat in front of him.
Ye Zhen felt really disappointed in his heart, but he could not say it out loud, while Little Xian stared at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy sharply like a dagger from behind.
Their group was finally continuing their trip in sight-seeing Tang Feng City today.
Crown Prince Feng and Elder Yang rode at the front, while Ye Zhen and Little Xian followed them from behind.
Behind Ye Zhen and Little Xian, there were three long lines of the elite guards marched up in the neat formation. They kept silently following Crown Prince Feng's group from behind.
At the street where Crown Prince Feng's group passed by, All of the people there bowed their backs deeply to show their respect to the royal family.
This was one of the rules in Tang Feng City, and it applied to everyone in Tang Feng City.
As someone from the modern world in her previous life, Tang Li Xue really did not like this rule. But she did not dare to say anything about it in front of Crown Prince Feng's face.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy frowned deeply in bad mood and complained to Elder Yang: "I do not like it... You are too close. Can I just sit behind you?"
Elder Yang raised his eyebrow and calmly rejected it with a faint mischievous smile on his face: "Nope, you can't. I never let the people I do not trust yet sit behind me."
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy rolled her topaz blue eyes and replied: "But I also do not trust you, so why do I need to sit in front of you?! Isn't a gentleman with high cultivation like you supposed to concede more to a weak young girl like me?"
Elder Yang laughed at the statement from Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and lightly said to her: "I am sorry, but I am someone who yearns for true gender equality. I believe women and men have equal potential inside them, and they could reach the same height if they work hard."
When Tang Li Xue's perfect copy wanted to ridicule him, Elder Yang immediately said again with a teasing tone while chuckled: "But if you insist, you can just turn around so we will be facing with each other face to face. Our problem will be solved with that, right?"
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy looked at Elder Yang strangely while dropped her jaw in shock. She became speechless for a few moments before murmured to him: "Do you always acting so shameless to the other girls like this too?"
Elder Yang got chocked by the question from Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and replied softly: "No, of course not. I only behave like this with you."
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy sneered mockingly at Elder Yang's words. Of course, she would never believe Elder Yang's nonsense.
Elder Yang laughed softly when he saw the mocking sneer of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy. He instantly knew that Tang Li Xue did not believe any of his words.
Elder Yang looked fondly at the pair of mesmerizing topaz blue eyes of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and said: "You do not believe my words? Honestly, I will never treat you this well if not for your eyes. Your sky blue colored eyes are... so beautiful... It indulges me in many fond memories every time I see it. It cleansed me and helped to keep me away from insanity..."
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy blushed slightly when she heard Elder Yang's honest words. She turned away her head and did not dare to see Elder Yang's eyes directly anymore.
Fortunately, Elder Yang did not say anything like Tang Li Xue was actually resembled his late pet or something like that. If not, Tang Li Xue would probably get so angry, and she probably could no longer hold the urge to kick him down from the horse.
The direction in which the Crown Prince Feng's group was currently heading by chance was where Instructor Mei Lan's group was located right now.
The real Tang Li Xue already told Instructor Mei Lan and the others, so they already knew about it.
But all of them did not think too much about it because it was impossible for them to get noticed by Crown Prince Feng's group.
Tang Li Xue's stunningly beautiful face (the real one) was already covered by Cloud Covering Veil, so no one could probably see through it and saw her resemblance with her perfect copy.
Unfortunately, neither Instructor Mei Lan, Tang Li Xue, or anyone could know that Elder Yang also had one of the Seven Earthly Desire Spirits, the Blood of Lust, just like Tang Li Xue's Flame of Pride!
The Seven Worldly Desire Spirits were able to detect each other when their relatives appeared near them
The Seven Earthly Desire Spirits were able to detect each other when their kin appeared in the radius of their detection.
In the other words, Tang Li Xue's Flame of Pride and Elder Yang's Blood of Lust could detect each other when they were close enough.
The reason why Tang Li Xue's Flame of Pride could not detect Elder Yang's Blood of Lust in the forest before was that the Blood of Lust had gotten so weak after its previous master died.
When Elder Yang rode his horse with Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and passed by Instructor Mei Lan's group who currently bowed their back deeply just so they did not get noticed by any people from Crown Prince Feng's group.
Elder Yang frowned a bit in annoyance when he felt the Blood of Lust contained in his body became really restless and tried to communicate with him.
The Blood of Lust did not only convey its hungry feeling to Elder Yang, but it also pointed its target to Elder Yang.
Elder Yang did not take the Blood of Lust's message seriously. For him, the Blood of Lust was only the weapon for him to take his revenge, nothing more. He did not have any time to care about the Blood of Lust's will, and he will never satisfy its desire to devour the river of blood like the people from the Blood Devil Sect.
But Elder Yang still subconsciously took a glance at the person who his Blood of Lust pointed to.
Elder Yang widened his eyes in an instant when he glanced at the real Tang Li Xue.
To be precise, he was not looking at the real Tang Li Xue, but at the Ring Necklace, she wore around her neck!
