Gu Linchao stopped in his tracks, his voice cold and clear, "There's no need to put on a brave face; pride isn't that important."
Wen Nong Nong blinked, then suddenly took a step closer to him. "Is Your Highness worried about me?" Was he worried that she was no match for the Hui princess, or that she would get hurt?
Gu Linchao frowned and reminded him, "Three feet."
Wen Nong Nong pouted and took a step back. "Your Highness, don't worry. I'm not that incompetent. Just you wait and see."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Gu Linchao frowned slightly, but did not try to persuade her further, and left on his own.
The others were unclear about what the two had said, but seeing Gu Linchao leave with a somewhat displeased expression, it seemed that the two had had a disagreement.
As everyone speculated, the princess of Xinjiang returned.
She had also changed into a more fitted outfit and walked straight towards Wen Nongnong, then immediately assumed a fighting stance, saying, "Come on."
Wen Nong Nong glanced at her and said calmly, "Princess, please wait a moment while I do some warm-up exercises."
Just as everyone was wondering what she meant by warm-up exercises, they saw her squat down and stretch her legs.
Next came the splits, and then the full split.
The whole set of movements was performed with ease and fluidity, as if it were just an everyday routine.
The princess of Xinjiang was somewhat surprised; she had never seen a woman's body so supple.
And those movements were truly unheard of and unseen.
That level of flexibility is truly enviable.
Not only the princess from Xinjiang, but also a group of noble ladies were astonished.
But what they really meant were sour grapes.
Wen Nongnong is so shameless! She actually did that in front of everyone. She has no shame at all.
"Are you done yet?" the Hui princess asked impatiently.
"Alright." Wen Nongnong had just straightened up when the Huijiang princess's fist arrived.
"The princess of Xinjiang is too unkind; she attacked without warning," the officials from Daye exclaimed indignantly.
The noble ladies covered their faces, thinking that Wen Nong Nong would soon be bruised and battered.
The princess from Xinjiang threw a punch that looked really powerful.
However, the scene they imagined—Wen Nongnong's face being swollen from being slapped—did not happen.
Wen Nong Nong easily dodged the Hui princess's fist and spun around to kick out.
The princess of Xinjiang was caught off guard and was kicked in the knee.
She lunged forward and fell to the ground, but she didn't give up. Instead, she rolled over, then sprang up and rushed towards Wen Nong Nong.
At first, everyone just watched it as a spectacle, thinking that no matter how skilled the two women were, it was nothing more than fancy moves.
Unexpectedly, the fight between the two was incredibly exciting, with each punch flying and the moves being skillful, showing no less prowess than that of a man.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
The arena fell silent, save for the sounds of the two exchanging blows.
Wen Tingyun looked at his younger sister in surprise.
Wen Shiqing, Xu Shi, and Lu Yingying also thought they were seeing things and hallucinating.
Only Wen Tingyun showed no surprise whatsoever.
When he saw Nong Nong kick Wen Ruyi that night, he knew she wasn't just bluffing; she was genuinely incredibly strong.
He thought she had just suddenly become stronger, but seeing her agile and methodical moves, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
Could it really be as this girl told Lü Qiao, that after taking a nap, she suddenly gained a lot of strength and even learned martial arts?
This is truly unbelievable.
But then I thought about the dream she told him, and it seemed to make sense.
