Chapter 260 - 259: I’m not called Great Sage, I’m called Bai Yun

Chapter 260: Chapter 259: I’m not called Great Sage, I’m called Bai Yun

"No, I should come with you," Ding Yao insisted once more.

But at that moment, the two foreign girls behind her gently smiled, the one with shorter hair speaking naturally and graciously, "Then why don’t we all go together? Wouldn’t that be good?"

The girl with longer hair added, "Actually, Miss Ding Yao, when they are discussing business, we could join in too. There’s no need to avoid it."

Ding Yao was taken aback.

The guests hadn’t arrived yet, so she followed the people from the Ranch to where the Su Family was bound to pass and watched them.

When she came back after watching, her brother said to take the girls around the Ranch for a bit of fun and relaxing while the men talked business.

This was the tradition in Dragon Country, men discussed business, while women indulged in food and fun.

But it didn’t have to be this way; she’d studied management abroad, she could help with the business negotiations too!

"Alright, let’s all go together," Ding Yao smiled at Mianmian, "Is that okay, Little Auntie?"

Mianmian tilted her little head, considering the unresolved matters on Ding Yao’s plate, and nodded her agreement.

Continuing to toddle along with her short legs, she moved closer to where Ding Song was.

After closing the distance, Mianmian didn’t immediately speak with Ding Song. Instead, she stood at a moderate distance, continuing to observe him.

"The horses in this Ranch are really exceptional," the blond, blue-eyed man complimented Ding Song.

He seemed to have already taken a horse out for a run, with a light sheen of sweat on his forehead.

Ding Song smiled, "Mr. Yuehan has good taste, this Ranch belongs to our Country’s Su Family. Both the location and the selection of horses are of the highest standard. Here, one can enjoy the pleasure of galloping on the savanna."

"Hahaha, I heard that the Su Family and the Company you work for, the Lu Family, are old rivals. Aren’t you worried that praising the Su Family might upset your boss?"

"That’s no issue," Ding Song replied leisurely, "My boss is broad-minded and certainly won’t trouble me over such a trivial matter. Besides, acknowledging a rival’s excellence is the only way to improve oneself."

The foreigner, known as Mr. Yuehan, smiled faintly, "Is that so? I’ve heard that there’s a wild horse in this Ranch that requires those who wish to ride it to sign an agreement disregarding life and death. You mentioned showing me your sincerity today; I think it might be better for you to try riding that horse. If you have the courage to do that, then I’ll believe that you truly wish to cooperate with us."

Ding Song’s pupils trembled slightly, unable to believe what he had heard.

His idea of sincerity was to buy one of the top ten horses in the Su Family’s Ranch as a gift for Mr. Yuehan, a renowned horse enthusiast. How did it turn into such a terrifying challenge proactively proposed by Mr. Yuehan?

The horse in question was a prized Ferghana horse, rumored to be unmatched even by the world’s number one purebred horses from Yi Country.

It had been with the Su Family’s Ranch for many years, disliking being ridden by anyone. Even Su Chenjin wasn’t allowed to ride it. Anyone who mounted it might at best end up with a missing arm or leg, or at worst, be sent directly to the ICU and die despite emergency treatment efforts.

Everyone who enjoyed visiting the Su Family’s Ranch knew about it.

Many who relished the thrill of taming horses came specifically to challenge this one, signing a waiver with the Ranch before even getting a chance to mount it.

This was akin to extreme sports like skydiving, irresistible to those with adventurous spirits.

But Ding Song wasn’t one of them; he didn’t have the mentality to tame wild horses at the cost of life and limb.

He remained silent, not speaking.

Seeing Ding Song’s hesitation, Mr. Yuehan continued, "It seems Mr. Ding’s sincerity is insufficient. In that case, I will need to reconsider our cooperation. Even though the Su Family has already signed with the Roosevelt Clan, there are other Dragon Country families we might consider."

Ding Song became anxious.

Lu You was considering demoting him, propping someone else up to be the CFO of the Lu Group.

Upon hearing this news, Ding Song, feeling indignant for being passed over in favor of someone younger at the Su Family Company, defected to the Lu Family and had already become well-known in the circle for it.

If he were to be fired by the Lu Family, chances were that no other companies would hire him.

At 40, was he supposed to face unemployment in middle age, despair in old age?

"Mr. Ding, Mr. Ding?" Mr. Yuehan called out with a light chuckle, "You seem a bit unwell. Would you like to rest for a bit?"

Ding Song’s complexion was indeed poor, his lips beginning to turn white.

Whether he lost the bet with Lu You or rode that horse, either outcome was beyond his ability to bear.

Mr. Yuehan’s smile narrowed his eyes.

His agreement with the Lu Family was already in place; the two were old partners, so why would they suddenly not renew it?

His trouble with Ding Song was at the direction of the Lu Family’s patriarch, Lu You.

If he just helped Lu You make things difficult for Ding Song, he’d get some extra treasures for himself. Why not enjoy it?

Ding Song was unaware of what Mr. Yuehan was thinking.

When he saw his sister approaching, he thought of the many years they had relied on each other. It didn’t matter if he himself was in debt, but dragging his sister into it was his worst fear.

Wait a minute.

A sense of unease crept over Ding Song.

If even he now understood that such a dire situation could drag his sister down, why hadn’t he realized it before impulsively signing that agreement?

"If I manage to tame that horse, will you really sign the agreement?" Ding Song clenched his teeth and finally spoke.

As long as the other party was willing to sign the agreement, even if he got injured while taming the horse, it wouldn’t involve his sister. She wouldn’t be burdened by insurmountable debts!

As for himself, if luck was on his side, he might lose an arm or a leg. If not, even if he died, the money he had earned over the years would be enough for his sister to live on.

Resolved, Ding Song didn’t wait for Mr. Yuehan to refuse. Instead, he instructed the Assistant standing by to bring out the contract that had been prepared in advance.

Mr. Yuehan merely laughed, "Of course, I will sign, but it will be after you’ve truly mounted that horse."

Ding Song swallowed hard, "Done deal!"

He called over a servant and asked him to prepare the taming agreement and lead the prized Ferghana horse over.

Ding Song was dressed in a black equestrian outfit, which made him appear younger than his actual age due to his fitness and the slim fit of the attire.

Hence, when the servant heard Ding Song wanted to try taming the top horse in the Ranch, he couldn’t believe it and asked incredulously, "Are you sure you want to attempt to tame the Great Sage? You should know that taming the Great Sage requires signing an indemnity with our Ranch. Whatever happens during the taming process, the Ranch takes no responsibility."

Indeed, the horse known as the scariest nightmare in the taming circle was jokingly referred to as the Great Saint Qi Tian, Sun Wukong.

Equally wild and untamable, refusing to be subdued.

Had it not been for Elder Su’s objection to naming a horse Sun Wukong, this horse might have been called Wukong!
