"No."
Ziong MingDe answered Bai Xuyu immediately after she finished asking the question.
This caught Bai Xuyu off guard for a moment, as she had put in a lot of effort to ask this question.
But Ziong MingDe came up with the answer the moment he heard her question, as if he hadn't even considered it at all.
This left Bai Xuyu momentarily speechless, unsure of how to respond.
It wasn't until a moment later that she regained her composure and asked again.
"Why not?"
Bai Xuyu couldn't understand why she was being rejected.
If someone practiced martial arts, there was no reason to refuse a sparring match.
"Are you asking for the reason why I can't spar with you?"
Ziong MingDe looked at Bai Xuyu for a while before smiling and giving his answer.
"Bai Xuyu, would you make a lion seriously compete with an ant? What's the meaning of such a competition?"
Although she was aware of the huge difference between them, Bai Xuyu couldn't help but clench her fist in anger. Her emotions were running wild inside her, unable to find an outlet.
"How would you know if we don't spar?"
Her emotions eventually turned into words.
But such words were powerless in front of Ziong MingDe.
"Of course, I know."
Ziong MingDe smiled and casually brushed off the question.
"Instead of doing something meaningless like that, why not just tell me the purpose of your visit tonight? Is it really just to spar with me and not related to Bai Yaxin?"
Faced with Ziong MingDe's unabashed question, Bai Xuyu's restless emotions, which had been building up since earlier, finally ignited.
"Why should I tell you?"
Bai Xuyu raised her voice a notch and then, without any warning, threw a jab towards Ziong MingDe's face.
Ziong MingDe remained calm and raised his hand to push Bai Xuyu's fist aside. He then grabbed her wrist and twisted her hand behind her back, gently pushing her about two or three meters away.
Before Bai Xuyu could make any further moves, Ziong MingDe spoke up.
"How about this, I'll stand still and let you attack three times. If you can knock me down, I'll agree to any request you have. Otherwise, I hope you can answer my question, alright?"
Bai Xuyu laughed and walked up to Ziong MingDe, without answering, sudden threw another punch towards his face.
Helpless, Ziong MingDe raised his hand again to block, but Bai Xuyu's progress was quick. She pulled back her punch halfway and immediately contracted her body, squatting down and then springing up, decisively delivering a rising dragon strike to Ziong MingDe's chin.
Just before the punch was about to connect, Ziong MingDe leaned back and did a natural backflip, easily dodging the strike.
He even deliberately controlled his leg movements to prevent accidentally hurting Bai Xuyu during the backflip.
But Bai Xuyu didn't care about any of this. Without reason, she pursued Ziong MingDe again and threw a third stabbing punch, still aimed at his face.
For an instant, a fleeting expression of unwillingness crossed Ziong MingDe's face. Then, taking a step forward, he proactively closed the distance with Bai Xuyu. He lightly turned his head to avoid the stabbing punch, and at the same time, his footwork was swift like the wind. He had already flashed behind Bai Xuyu. Before she could turn around, Ziong MingDe's knife hand had already landed on the back of Bai Xuyu's neck.
Bai Xuyu fell down, temporarily losing consciousness.
Ziong MingDe supported Bai Xuyu's body and silently said to himself.
- Now things are difficult.
