Chapter 652: Chapter 406: Fists and Feet Have No Eyes, Making No Distinction Between Men and Women

"CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP..."

A few birds were chirping away on a branch. Suddenly, a loud noise echoed from the distance, scaring them into silence. They turned their heads to look toward a large gathering of humans far away.

"BOOM."

Fists glowing with faint golden Spiritual Light collided, the resulting shockwave making the scalps of the spectators below the arena tingle.

The servants, who were just ordinary people, couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to them if they took such a powerful blow.

In less than three minutes, Lin Li and Li Qian had already exchanged several hundred fierce blows, trading moves back and forth on the arena stage.

After another clash of fists, they both retreated, seemingly evenly matched.

Once they had created some distance, both sides temporarily stopped attacking and simply watched each other.

Lin Li’s expression remained as calm and composed as ever, no different from how he looked before the fight began.

Li Qian, however, had tiny beads of sweat forming on her forehead after the intense exchange. Her breathing was no longer as steady as it was at the start; her red lips were slightly parted as she panted.

"HUFF..."

"Go, Miss Li!" The young maids watching below the arena had turned into a cheering squad, loudly rooting for Li Qian.

As servants of the Zhu Mansion, they all knew that Li Qian was the Lord City Lord’s daughter and their own young miss’s cousin. Who to cheer for was the simplest of choices.

While the maids were cheering for Li Qian, the male servants watching remained silent. Although they also wanted to cheer for Li Qian like the maids, they couldn’t.

Everyone knew Lin Li was their young miss’s guest. If they also cheered for Li Qian, it would seem rather inhospitable to him.

At that moment, however, someone chose to stand on Lin Li’s side.

When Zhu Xinru saw that all her servants were cheering for Li Qian and no one was supporting Lin Li, she felt she had to step up and back him up.

"Go, Mr. Lin!"

The maid Chunxiang was Zhu Xinru’s personal attendant. Since her mistress had spoken up to cheer for Lin Li, she, as the personal attendant, naturally had to follow suit at once. Thus, she became the second member to join Lin Li’s cheering squad.

"Go, Mr. Lin!"

The young maids who had been cheering for Li Qian fell silent the moment they saw their own young miss siding with Lin Li.

"Er..."

The young maids looked at each other, not knowing what to do. If they switched sides now and started cheering for Lin Li, wouldn’t that be like publicly eating their own words? It would be too embarrassing.

But now their young miss was clearly on the other side. If they continued to go against her...

Right. The young maids didn’t have the guts to go against their own young miss.

Just as the young maids were caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do, a particularly clever male servant spoke to a young maid next to him.

"You all help Miss Li, and we’ll follow the Young Miss and help Mr. Lin. That way, nobody has to be in an awkward position..."

As soon as the clever servant finished speaking, the young maid’s eyes lit up. Then, she heard the servant who came up with the idea shout out.

"Go, Mr. Lin!"

The other male servants didn’t react at first, staring at their companion in surprise when they heard him cheering for Lin Li.

At that moment, the young maid chimed in with perfect coordination, "Go, Miss Li!"

And as the young maid’s cheer rang out, all the Zhu Family servants present immediately understood.

So, for the remainder of the time, the maids and the male servants all cooperated with perfect tacit understanding.

Zhu Xinru stopped cheering once she saw others had started supporting Lin Li. At this point, she turned to look at He Manyu beside her.

"Ms. Yu, it seems my cousin has fallen behind in this round of exchanges."

He Manyu smiled and nodded. "Yes. It seems your cousin has met her match this time."

After such an intense exchange, Lin Li showed no signs of fatigue. From this, it was clear that if Li Qian had no other tricks up her sleeve, the final victor of this sparring match would most likely be Lin Li.

Lin Li had planned from the beginning to go up, spar with his opponent for six or seven minutes, and then end the match. From the moment they started fighting, he had been keeping track of the time in his head.

’Three minutes have already passed. I’ll just play along with her for a few more minutes, and then I can end this... With the Zhu Family’s wealth, lunch is bound to be a magnificent feast.’

Lin Li’s thoughts were racing. At first, he was thinking about the match, but then, without realizing it, his mind had drifted off track.

"HUFF..."

Li Qian’s breathing was a bit ragged. Looking at her opponent, whose condition hadn’t changed at all, she knew she had underestimated his strength.

"Young Master Lin."

"Hm?" Lin Li was lost in thought, wondering what delicacies the Zhu Family’s chef would prepare for lunch. When he heard Li Qian suddenly call out to him, his wandering mind was immediately pulled back to the present.

"Deliberately holding back during a spar is an insult to me. I ask that you fight me with your full strength..." Li Qian said with a serious expression.

When the fight first started, she thought Lin Li was fighting her with his full power. But after that last exchange, she knew she had been wrong.
