He lashed it hard with the whip.
The startled horse bolted as if possessed.
In the brief moment he glanced back, Yue Mingxuan saw the half-moon bear had already overturned Rong Tieshan's horse.
Suppressing his fear and panic, Yue Mingxuan spurred his horse forward to rush back.
He had never been one to rely on others' help and this was a matter of life and death.
Seeing Yue Mingxuan ride straight back toward danger, Rong Tieshan felt a mixture of anger and astonishment.
Anger because he had just secured a precious chance for Yue Mingxuan to escape, yet Yue Mingxuan had thrown it away.
Astonished because, as a Ger, he actually had the courage to face an enraged half-moon bear after having had the chance to flee.
Rong Tieshan suddenly realized that he had never truly understood the soul beneath Yue Mingxuan's complex face.
