Chapter 263: The Yin Ghosts of Turtle City
“How did your horse run so fast?”
The young man approached, leading his own horse, his eyes wide with surprise and confusion as he looked at the little girl and her horse.
“As I mentioned before,” Song You replied with a smile, “our horse may be small, but it excels in running. It seems we ended up taking the spotlight from you.”
“It’s alright,” the young man replied, grinning brightly. “I came in third anyway. Even without you, I wouldn’t have taken first place today. It’s only my first day here; there are still a few more days. I’ll try again tomorrow.”
“Then I wish you victory tomorrow,” Song You said.
“Where did you stay last night?”
“We spent the night up on that hill,” Song You replied, turning to point at the mountain where they had camped the previous night.
“That far?” The young man glanced back at the hill, then remarked, “Why didn’t you stay down here? It’s much livelier at night. If you stay up on the hill, you might run into trouble or wolves.”
“It’s quieter up there,” Song You replied.
