Perhaps it was because their master had a close connection with someone they favored, allowing them to feel comfortable and receptive to that person’s presence.
Shao Yunduan was pleasantly surprised by this turn of events.
Throughout their journey, apart from trailing behind Sun Bai, Ah-Ye had been at Shao Yunduan’s side, dutifully attending to his needs. His honest nature, minimal words, and earnest approach to tasks made him a dependable and reassuring presence.
On one occasion, Qiao Xuan had playfully teased Shao Yunduan, suggesting that Qiao Wei had become so shameless that she had tried to get close to Ah-Ye when she discovered that he was brought back due to Mianmian’s influence. Qiao Wei was supposedly attempting to win him over with her beauty. However, in truth, she hadn’t made any efforts to use her charms to sway Ah-Ye’s favor. In Qiao Xuan’s view, her willingness to express mild concern for Ah-Ye, engage in pleasant conversation, offer him occasional treats, or reward him with a few taels of silver was already a substantial gesture. Ah-Ye should have felt flattered and indebted to her.
Yet, Ah-Ye remained completely indifferent to Qiao Wei. He didn’t spare her a glance, let alone engage in conversation. Qiao Wei, who had humbled herself, was left seething with frustration.
Upon hearing the news, Qiao Xuan couldn’t contain her glee.
Qiao Wei’s audacity seemed to be growing with each passing day. How could she be so self-assured?
This further solidified Shao Yunduan’s belief that Ah-Ye was a worthy candidate for training.
Not to mention the glowing praise from Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and the group of guards, who were astounded by Ah-Ye’s innate divine power. Thanks to Sun Bai’s tutelage, Ah-Ye had gained more control over his celestial abilities and developed increased agility. Ah-Ye was both astonished and deeply appreciative of Sun Bai’s mentorship. Although Sun Bai hadn’t formally taken him on as a disciple, Ah-Ye regarded Sun Bai as his Master.
He understood that his present circumstances were a result of the fortuitous connection with Lord Shao and Madame Shao. Their kindness had saved both him and Mianmian, and his unwavering loyalty to them stemmed from the depths of his heart.
As a result, whenever Shao Yunduan assigned him a task, Ah-Ye approached it with unwavering dedication and meticulous attention to detail.
Shao Yunduan’s satisfaction with Ah-Ye continued to grow, and he couldn’t help but marvel at his wife’s excellent judgment.
With a mere thought, she had brought two exceptional subordinates into their fold. No wonder Qiao Wei was consumed with envy and anger!
As Ah-Ye found himself thrust into the spotlight, Shao Yunduan reveled in the joy of his accomplishment. Ah-Ye had never been the recipient of such passionate attention and adulation, which left him feeling awkward and unsure of how to respond.
Ah-Ye approached Shao Yunduan with the black horse and said, “Lord, I’d like to offer this horse to you! Could you please give it a name?”
Shao Yunduan cast a fond gaze at the majestic black horse and chuckled. “You tamed it, so take good care of it! As for naming it, we’ll leave that to my wife. She always takes a keen interest in such matters.”
Ah-Ye blushed and nodded, a shy smile on his face.
When Qiao Xuan, Princess Shuangfu, and the others finally arrived, the atmosphere had calmed down.
Upon hearing Shao Yunduan’s praise for Ah-Ye, Qiao Xuan glanced at Mianmian, who wore a bright smile. She remarked with a grin, “Ah-Ye possesses natural strength and has experience in the horse market, making him a fitting candidate for success. It’s no surprise that he’s been so fortunate. I’ve always known he’s no ordinary individual!”
