Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Really too Wild
—— Madness.
It’s truly madness.
Who would tell others in such a direct and calm manner that they are a genius, so anything unreasonable can be reasonable when applied to them?
If these words were posted online, the girl would probably be criticized to death, with a bunch of people accusing her of showing off.
But considering the girl’s experiences, she is indeed telling the truth.
If she wasn’t a genius, who else could master the piano to such divine levels and compose incredibly ingenious music at the mere age of seventeen after starting piano lessons early in childhood?
If she wasn’t a genius, who would naturally possess immense power, extremely fast speed, and top-notch fighting skills to dominate global boxing championships?
Including the fields of traditional medicine and others mentioned by the girl...
In this world, 99.99% of people are ordinary.
But even You Yi cannot deny that there are indeed geniuses in this world.
Born with extraordinary intelligence and talent, allowing such individuals to reach the pinnacle in numerous fields at a young age and achieve feats unattainable by ordinary people.
If the girl isn’t lying, and she really is such a genius, then everything that happens to her truly is reasonable.
Even Bai Qiang’s fondness for her is reasonable.
Who wouldn’t like a genius?
You Yi is more aware than anyone of Bai Qiang’s loneliness.
During the time he hunted Bai Qiang, he knew Bai Qiang had always been alone, without even a friend by his side.
Perhaps aware of the distinct paths humans and demons tread, perhaps not wanting to trouble others, perhaps to escape without leaving any attachments behind, Bai Qiang has always been solitary.
In such a situation, if encountering such a clever and powerful genius girl, it’s probably quite hard for Bai Qiang not to like her.
After several exchanges, the scrutinizing gaze on his face gradually shifted to question the person before him, making You Yi involuntarily stand up straight.
"There’s certainly no problem."
With a calm demeanor, You Yi continued with a mild smile on his face, "I merely felt that student Lu Sheng is truly impressive, hence I asked a few more questions. I hope student Lu Sheng doesn’t mind."
"The stable is right there," You Yi said, while pointing towards the nearby stable, seemingly casually changing the subject, "Then, let me first take student Lu Sheng to pick a horse."
The other students in the class had already chosen their horses under the assistant’s guidance and led them to the outdoor riding arena.
Therefore, there are not many horses left in the stable, just a few scattered about.
You Yi led Lu Sheng to a tall, chestnut horse, first touching its smooth and shiny coat before introducing it to Lu Sheng.
"Since today is student Lu Sheng’s first equestrian lesson, the first thing we are going to learn is how to interact with a horse."
"Horses have rather poor vision; they see things in a misty, hazy state, and they are more sensitive with their noses and ears."
"A horse’s ears can hear sounds from a long distance away. So, remember, student Lu Sheng, do not start by touching the horse’s ears."
"To touch a horse, you should approach it from the front side. Stroke its cheek, let the horse smell your scent, and it will gradually become familiar and let down its guard."
"Just like this—"
The golden sunlight cast into the stable from outside highlighted You Yi’s tall and upright silhouette, and his distinct and handsome profile.
The outside world is noisy, but the young man’s gaze is focused, his voice gentle.
Looking through the glasses on his nose, he gently strokes the horse’s cheek as a demonstration, like a patient and gentle teacher.
This inadvertently gave Lu Sheng a feeling.
If she didn’t know You Yi’s true identity, she might feel as trusting towards him as the horse does, letting down her guard shortly.
"Alright," You Yi, unaware of Lu Sheng’s inner thoughts, turned around with a graceful smile, "I’ve finished demonstrating; student Lu Sheng, please give it a try."
Lu Sheng claimed it was her first equestrian lesson, but it was not actually.
Back when she lived in the UK in her previous life, equestrianism was a sport she loved.
The UK has a professional certification examination related to equestrianism, known as HBBK, which is divided into five levels regarding riding skills.
Those who attain the fifth-level certificate are essentially among the pinnacle of equestrian coaches in the UK, and currently, there are no more than a hundred such honored coaches in the whole country.
Clearly, as evident from the badge on You Yi’s shirt collar, he is one of them.
Lu Sheng is also one of them.
Although she is not an equestrian coach, out of interest and boredom in her past life, she also took the exam and casually obtained an HBBK level five riding certificate.
So, to be honest, Lu Sheng’s equestrian skills are likely far superior to the two teaching assistants in today’s lesson.
Compared to Tang Yiyi and Lin Ya, who could be considered advanced-level participants, she is incomparably superior.
Pretending to know little about something is quite difficult.
Because if not careful, one will expose one’s ignorance.
However, for the current Lu Sheng, the challenge is pretending to be unknowledgeable despite knowing very well.
She mimicked You Yi’s action, lifting her hand like someone touching a horse for the first time, gently stroking the chestnut horse before her.
You Yi observed each of her movements and expressions.
After Lu Sheng became familiar with the horse, You Yi bent down to tighten the horse’s belly strap, adjusted the stirrup height, and prepared to help Lu Sheng mount the horse.
This horse is an imported warmblood, very tall, about over 1.6 meters high, nearly reaching Lu Sheng’s forehead.
In other words, Lu Sheng couldn’t mount this horse on her own.
She needs someone below to help lift her foot.
"I’ll help you."
Before Lu Sheng could speak, You Yi at her side had already knelt on one knee, making a lifting gesture with his hand, indicating for Lu Sheng to place her foot on his palm.
The man’s gaze is focused, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses sits on his prominent nose, his movements exhibit the demeanor of a British gentleman, appearing gentle and refined.
If You Yi made such a gesture to other girls outside, they would probably internally scream or display a shy expression.
However, Lu Sheng is entirely immune to men other than Li Muchen.
Since You Yi is her teacher, and he is squatting down to lift her onto the horse, she doesn’t need to be overly polite.
So, the next second, the girl’s black riding boots firmly stepped on the man’s palm, and with a boost, she flipped onto the horseback.
Her slender, powerful legs clamped against the momentarily unsettled horse, she grasped the reins and straightened her posture: "...Alright, thank you, teacher."
Lu Sheng thanked You Yi, but did not notice that in the moment You Yi helped her mount the horse, he had already affixed a small yellow talisman to the horse’s front hoof.
"You’re welcome, student Lu Sheng," You Yi stood up straight, his expression as calm as ever with a light smile, "Since you’re now on the horse, let me lead you outside."
