The horse race lasted for three days, followed by obstacle races and dressage competitions held in full swing. During these three days, the streets of Jiangzhou were empty, and the online heat was unprecedented.
When Ming Jing successfully won the championships in the other two competitions, her name resounded throughout Hua Country.
Wielding her pen to ace the MCO exam and demonstrating impressive martial arts atop a horse, she had both the most steadfast gaze and the most compassionate heart.
She was the daughter of the Zhus and the sister of Shen Zhou.
Her name, as befitting her character, was Ming Jing.
That night, Ming Jing declined the celebration banquet from her family and friends, the TV interview, and the newspaper headline interview. Accompanied by two juniors, she returned to Tonghe Shengshi.
As the nation cheered and celebrated for her, she remained serene in the depths of silence.
The world was like a heavenly curtain, with people as stars. Ming Jing was the most brilliant moon in the dark firmament, surrounded by stars, with fame and fortune within easy reach.
These worldly pursuits for fame and fortune were like the moon in the water, flowers in the mirror, ephemeral as mayflies and morning dew, transient flashes of light.
The Diamond Sutra says: All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew and lightning; one should perceive them as such.
When no thoughts arise and past and future are severed, the inherent essence shines through, and one becomes like the Buddha.
Standing devoutly before the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Ming Jing smiled and uttered softly: “In serene reflection, I awaken to the truth.”
The moonlight was enchanting, and the room was filled with the faint fragrance of sandalwood. freewebnoveℓ.com
Qu Feitai paced back and forth at the door, hesitating to knock.
Knocking on someone’s door late at night without any important matter seemed inappropriate.
He just wanted to personally congratulate her on winning the championship and entering the MCO.
Qu Feitai eventually left, caught a flight to Jingzhou in the early morning, and regretted not being able to speak with her. However, witnessing her competition made the trip worthwhile.
Next month, she would go to Jingzhou to participate in the MCO, where they could meet again.
Ming Jing, see you again in Jingzhou.
“Master Xiao, this is the financial report of the horse race this year. Please take a look,” Ye Jian handed it over.
Ran Tengxiao flipped through it casually: “Not bad, better than expected.”
“It’s all thanks to Ms. Ming Jing’s influence. Without her celebrity effect, this year’s horse race wouldn’t have been so popular. We’ve already earned back our costs just from the advertising fees,” Ye Jian said, referring to the flurry of advertising contracts that followed Ms. Ming Jing’s success.
“Ms. Ming Jing donated all her prize money and share to the foundation. Her generosity is truly admirable,” Ye Jian couldn’t help but praise.
Ran Tengxiao glanced at the report and tossed it aside, “Since the horse race exceeded expectations, contact Ming Jing and invite her to dinner as a show of gratitude.”
Ye Jian nodded, “Also, Master Xiao, the venue for this year’s martial arts competition is ready, and the event is scheduled for the 30th. The number of participants has doubled compared to last year at this time. Here’s the list.”
Ran Tengxiao flipped through it, “No Xi Yu?”
Ye Jian replied, “He didn’t register.”
“Add his name.”
Ye Jian agreed, “Master has already set out on his way here. Liehuo Hall and other martial arts seniors have already received invitations. The younger generation’s best talents have responded to your invitation to participate. This year is full of talent, and you can select any to strengthen our Qinglong Association.”
Ran Tengxiao hooked his lips up, “This is the Qinglong Association’s annual event, initially created to recruit talent for our association. Although the founders are all gone, this tradition has been passed down through generations.”
Ye Jian wisely remained silent on the matter.
After a while, Ran Tengxiao asked, “Who do you think will be the champion this year? Let’s bet on A Hua.”
Ye Jian’s mouth twitched. A Hua was the daughter of the Ran family’s butler, Ran Song, and the apple of Ye Jian’s eye.

Ye Jian furrowed his brow, carefully pondering his assessment, “My junior brother Ye Feng is talented and has inherited our master’s true teachings. His skills are far above mine. Also, Yan Shu from Liehuo Hall is a standout among the younger disciples and shouldn’t be underestimated…”
After some thought, Ye Jian resolutely said, “My money is on Xi Yu. His martial arts are unpredictable, but in just one encounter with him, I found that he’s incredibly fast, ruthless, and skilled at delivering decisive blows without leaving any trace. This kind of person never loses.”
“Hmm.” Ran Tengxiao nodded, “This year should be quite interesting.”
