Chapter 1401: Chapter 1223: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Abao, have you learned any of these moves before?" Long Aixi demonstrated the same few moves she had just used.

Xia Dabao shook her head, "I haven’t, but... if I were to counter those moves, I don’t think it would be hard. For instance, when your punch comes at me, I could step back, dodge it, and then counter from behind!"

"Your move is also easy to break. If you counter from behind, I can bend over and duck, attacking your lower body!" Long Aixi said.

"Then I could do this..." The two discussed their strategies with great enthusiasm.

Butler Yan watched the two young ones eagerly discussing and then glanced at the delicate girls on the side. He probably had long been fed up with the misses who would complain about being tired at the drop of a hat. He said, "Next up is sparring time, still the same rule, boys against boys, girls against girls!"

After speaking, he looked at Xia Dabao, "Abao, now that you’re here, don’t consider yourself an outsider. Exchange a few moves with these young ladies and let’s see if you are more skilled or they are."

Xia Dabao couldn’t help but smile, "Me? I’m just a country girl, not likely a match for them."

"When you were discussing techniques with Xiao’ai, I could see that you have a solid foundation. Don’t worry, if you lose, I’ll teach you a few moves, and next time you’ll be able to defeat them," Butler Yan said with a smile.

Back in Peach Blossom Village, Xia Dabao and Axian had patiently taught him how to play cards. Here, he naturally had the patience to teach her martial arts.

"Well, then Dabao will respectfully comply!" Xia Dabao said with a smile.

Seeing Xia Dabao preparing to spar, Long Aixi naturally wasn’t in the mood to practice anymore. He was the young master, so he ordered the other boys to continue practicing while he went to watch Xia Dabao.

He had sparred with Xia Dabao before, and had also gone hunting with her in the mountains, so he knew very well what Xia Dabao was capable of and was not worried about her in the slightest.

Butler Yan first had Chen Lingyun come out to spar with Xia Dabao.

They didn’t use any weapons; it was just hand-to-hand.

Chen Lingyun straightened her clothes, then cupped her fists in salute toward Xia Dabao, "If I accidentally offend Lady in any way, please be magnanimous."

She really couldn’t understand why Butler Yan had chosen her to be the first to spar with Xia Dabao, when among the three girls present, her martial arts were clearly the best.

Moreover, at one glance, Xia Dabao clearly seemed like someone from the countryside. Even though she appeared lively and agile, don’t those from the countryside mainly work the fields? When it came to practicing martial arts, how could she be a match for her? Chen Lingyun had been raised in the Longya Gang since childhood, being immersed in martial arts all her life.

Xia Dabao also scrutinized Chen Lingyun for a moment. She wasn’t a fool; although Chen Lingyun looked deferential, there was a clear trace of disdain in her eyes. What did she mean by possibly offending? It was not yet certain who would offend whom.

So Xia Dabao mimicked her gesture, "Lady needn’t be so polite. No matter who offends whom later on, let’s agree not to hold it against each other."

With that said, the two of them began their bout.

Although Chen Lingyun had been practicing martial arts in Longya Gang since childhood, the methods she learned were all theoretical and technique-focused. Plus, when sparring within the gang, usually because of concerns about face, the fights often became lazy and slack, unlike Xia Dabao’s experience.

The moves Wild Brother had taught Xia Dabao were all practical, and she often practiced with him. Moreover, because she often went hunting in the mountains and faced prey that could threaten her life, she never dared to be careless.

Besides, when Chen Lingyun wasn’t practicing, she might at most go out for a walk, which was nothing compared to the farm work Xia Dabao had to do every day in the village. When it came to physical strength, she simply couldn’t match Xia
