Chapter 1787 - 1391: Who Says Victory Depends on Force?

Gu Changsheng avoided looking at Zhou Mu, thinking, this is the man our young lady has her eyes on, can’t offend him. It’s not good for our young lady to lose composure in front of her crush, so as her maid, I have to step up!

So, Ling Dang looked at Gu Changsheng with disdain, scanning him up and down, and said with a sneer, "Everyone says the Nomadic Tribe’s mongrels, with mixed blood, are all beguiling and alluring. Now it seems to be true, you’re indeed quite handsome!"

Gu Changsheng was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, and followed Ling Dang’s gaze to examine himself, looking quite confused.

God knows, it’s been ages since anyone dared to comment on me, because no one has that kind of courage!

Who would be foolish enough to criticize the Southern Country Queen? That’s like eating poison as an old man!

"Evildoer, is she complimenting me on my looks?" Gu Changsheng blinked; her features are more pronounced than usual for people from the Central Plains. In her past life, someone said her looks exuded brazen boldness. Hearing people describe her as mixed blood today, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but think of those mixed-race children she had seen in her past life, they were all exceptionally good-looking!

"Indeed!" Zhou Mu nodded, knowing well the compliment wasn’t meant as it sounded, but as long as his woman is happy, isn’t that what matters?

Seeing her evildoer nod, Gu Changsheng was immediately satisfied, then looked at Ling Dang and asked, "Who are you calling a mongrel?"

"Naturally you!" Ling Dang, clueless, immediately replied.

"Oh..." Gu Changsheng elongated her voice in response, someone admitting she’s a mongrel made Gu Changsheng even more satisfied, after all, her past and current life both had the highest, noblest backgrounds!

In her past life, she was the granddaughter of the founding hero, in this life, even more remarkable, a direct orphan of the Southern Border Imperial Family, there really aren’t many women with more prominent backgrounds than her in this world!

I’m not at all insecure! Nor would I let people put labels on me casually!

Satisfied with Ling Dang admitting she’s a mongrel, Gu Changsheng pulled her evildoer and continued walking past her!

Looking at this oblivious maid who praised her looks and admitted she was a mongrel, Gu Changsheng generously decided not to stoop to her level. Yes, she has the magnanimous stomach of a Prime Minister!

"Miss?" Ling Dang looked at the confidently departing Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, confused and sought answers from her young lady.

Landuoer was naturally smarter than her maid; she didn’t overlook the satisfied smile Gu Changsheng had as she left, immediately understanding the meaning behind the exchange. Landuoer glared at Ling Dang and then shouted to the departing duo, "Now that you’re at the stables, why not have a race? It wouldn’t do if I made you come enthusiastically and leave disappointed!"

Covered in sweat, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu halted in the drizzle. Gu Changsheng sighed internally, resigning to turn back, looked at Landuoer and said, "Miss, we came with enthusiasm, and now the excitement has passed. Going back also feels fulfilling, so I hold no grudge against you!"

"Older sister, are you thinking Landuoer’s status is not worthy of racing with you?" Landuoer squinted.

Gu Changsheng heard this and squinted as well!

Wow, this statement seems to exert some pressure based on status!

After all, she’s standing on land dependent on the Tashi Tribe for survival, isn’t she?

And that calling her ’older sister’ made Gu Changsheng, who’s in her twenties, suddenly feel like an old cabbage stalk facing a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, such a random sense of age!

"Miss is the Tashi Tribe’s daughter, such a noble status; racing with me would be my honor. However, creating a satisfying experience by simply coming and going would also be complete!" Gu Changsheng silently chanted to give face to Borjigin Nian, can’t get angry at her relatives, and replied kindly.

"Older sister, are you perhaps afraid to lose? I heard the Nomadic Tribe people are neither Chinese nor non-Chinese, like nothing at all, so maybe your riding skills are also mediocre!" Landuoer’s youthful face immediately brimmed with laughter upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words.

Gu Changsheng heard this and was internally cursing!

Oh! Borjigin Nian, damn it! How did your mother’s clan raise such a stubborn girl?

This skill in talking is remarkable, seeing how a clearly derogatory comment can be expressed with such scholarly flair, not only that, the use of provocative tactics is really impressive!
