The man hadn't expected Xiang Wan to be so skilled. After dodging a few times, he began to fight back. The two exchanged blows for a while, but Xiang Wan gradually found herself at a disadvantage. Fortunately, she had some medicinal powder on her, which allowed her to occasionally launch ice needles, preventing her opponent from gaining the upper hand.
The fight in the woods startled the birds and animals in the surrounding forest, who scattered in all directions. To avoid being discovered, both sides instinctively moved more quietly.
Xiang Wan didn't bring much medicine powder with her, and she felt bad about wasting it. Besides, she didn't know when she would be able to prepare another batch, so she gradually focused on martial arts.
Seeing that she made no further moves, the other person also slowed down. When Xiang Wan was panting, he stopped and stood about ten feet away from her, arms crossed, his eyes fixed on her.

"You said it yourself, I'm just an ordinary maid. I'll do whatever the Hao family trains me to do. What's so strange about that? But you," Xiang Wan tilted her head and raised an eyebrow, "have nothing better to do than keep an eye on a maid, scrutinizing every little detail? Are you that idle?"
The other person straightened up, raised his hand to touch his chin, pondered for a moment, and said seriously, "Well, I really have too much free time, so I want to find something interesting to do."
As he spoke, the other person suddenly squatted down and sat next to Xiang Wan, staring intently at her, and asked, "May I ask if you need any help, young lady?"
