Chapter 29

Li Xiangfei walked in, looking at Bai Cangdong coldly and said, "I don't know why Father would choose someone like you to be my sparring partner."

"Lord naturally has his reasons. Miss Xiangfei, are you ready to start the practice?" Bai Cangdong said calmly.

"Let's start. I won't hold back," Li Xiangfei said.

"Miss Xiangfei, please." Bai Cangdong was not at all concerned by Li Xiangfei's threat.

Li Xiangfei did not say much more, determined to give Bai Cangdong a lesson. Although her innate divine light was sealed, she did not believe she would lose to a baron, especially a cowardly one like Bai Cangdong.

Li Xiangfei's attacks were fierce. From the start, she used her most skilled and powerful martial techniques, aiming to give Bai Cangdong a profound lesson.

It had to be admitted that even with her innate divine light sealed, a viscount was still far superior to a baron in terms of strength and speed. Moreover, Li Xiangfei's martial techniques were carefully selected by Baron Daolun, making it extremely difficult for an average baron to withstand her full-force attack.

Bai Cangdong was not an ordinary person and had no intention of blocking. He slightly stepped to the side, and with a light kick, Li Xiangfei, who was charging at full speed, was tripped and fell to the ground, landing in a miserable state.

"Miss Xiangfei's combat experience is really quite lacking. You need to practice more," Bai Cangdong said in a deep, deliberate tone.

"You!" Li Xiangfei was both ashamed and angry, and attacked Bai Cangdong again with all her might.

The result was shockingly consistent with history. Li Xiangfei was once again knocked down by Bai Cangdong. No matter how hard she tried or how desperately she attacked, the final outcome was always being knocked to the ground, completely overpowered, unable to even touch a corner of Bai Cangdong's clothes.

As the sun set, the golden light stretched the shadows long. One stood calmly, while the other lay panting on the ground.

"Let's call it a day. We'll continue practicing tomorrow," Bai Cangdong hummed a tune and left the courtyard, returning to the residence the Earl had arranged for him.

"How could this happen? Why did I lose to such a despicable person, and so miserably!" Li Xiangfei lay on the ground, staring blankly at the ground, almost unable to believe what had happened today.

"No, I can't lose to that despicable person. I must find a way to defeat him." Li Xiangfei's face showed determination as she struggled to her feet, her body bruised and battered, and left the courtyard.

Two figures were watching Li Xiangfei from a room in the courtyard through a hidden passage.

"I told you, Bai Cangdong is the best sparring partner for Xiangfei. Now, do you believe me, Big Brother?" Lady Honglian smiled.

"Your judgment has always been accurate," Earl Daolun sighed slightly. "I have protected Xiangfei too well, making her completely unable to survive on her own. Now, with my care, it's still fine, but after she marries, she will inevitably be bullied."

"As long as we are here, who would dare to bully Xiangfei?" Lady Honglian said coldly.

"This world is so vast, and we cannot be by Xiangfei's side all the time. It's better for her to have some self-defense capabilities. Bai Cangdong is very good. Last time, I sent him to the Daolun Society as a martial arts instructor, partly as a reward and partly as a punishment. If he does well this time, let him enter the Earl's residence."

"Letting Bai Cangdong enter the Earl's residence might not be a good idea. He is only a baron and can only become a steward at most. But with his personality, he probably wouldn't care about a steward's position. If we give him a high position, others might not be convinced," Lady Honglian said.

"So what if they are not convinced? This is the Earl's residence. If I see potential in him, that's enough." Earl Daolun paused and continued, "Although he is only a baron now, his application and judgment of martial arts are already stronger than many viscounts. The only thing lacking is a viscount title. You can give him some help. Those materials are useless if left alone. Take them to him."

Bai Cangdong had just returned to his room when Luo Ge rushed over, furious.

"Old Bai, didn't I tell you to take good care of Miss Xiangfei? How could you bully her like that? Do you really want to be kicked out of Daolun City?"

Bai Cangdong said calmly, "The Earl assigned me to teach Miss Xiangfei martial arts. I am just doing my job."

"I think you are crazy. Miss Xiangfei is the Earl's beloved. Even the Earl himself wouldn't dare to touch her. You beat her up so badly that she now hates you to the bone. She has gone to Lord Silver Knight to learn martial arts to teach you a lesson. If the Earl hears about this, you are dead."

"I have done my best to complete my duties. I believe the Earl will understand," Bai Cangdong said calmly.

"You... how can I describe you? You better watch out." Seeing that Bai Cangdong showed no awareness, Luo Ge stormed out, slamming the door.

Bai Cangdong was not bothered by it and slept soundly. The next day, he went to the courtyard as usual to wait for Li Xiangfei, only to find that Li Xiangfei had arrived even earlier, already dressed in training clothes and standing on the training platform.

"Miss Xiangfei, you are early today," Bai Cangdong greeted her with a smile.

"Hmph, don't be so smug. I won't make the same mistake today," Li Xiangfei said coldly. "Come up. Today, I will show you the true strength of a viscount."

Bai Cangdong smiled and slowly walked up to the training platform, beckoning to Li Xiangfei with his fingers.

"Don't be so arrogant." Li Xiangfei was furious and punched straight at Bai Cangdong's face. Bai Cangdong slightly dodged, and Li Xiangfei's lips curled into a smile, thinking her plan had worked. She changed her punch to a palm strike, aiming for Bai Cangdong's cheek.

Li Xiangfei's palm was just inches from Bai Cangdong's face, and she was excited, but suddenly felt a force from her leg, causing her to fall backward and land heavily on the ground, her
