He could only grit his teeth, slap himself, and then kneel down, enduring the humiliation.
Seeing this, the young man withdrew in one step, leaving the carriage and casually slapped the haunch of the Jiao-blood warhorse.
This horse was originally vicious and difficult to tame, but under the young man's slap, it reacted as if frightened, galloping off and causing pedestrians by the roadside to shout in alarm.
But in the end, with no one to control it, the horse didn't run far before heading towards the river, seemingly in a panicked, indiscriminate rush, and crashed into the water, dragging the carriage along with it.
A splash as it hit the water attracted many onlookers from a distance.
Yet the young man, as if he had done nothing, quietly returned to the old man's side, his expression calm, as if he had always been standing there without having moved at all.
