"Uncle Ping, I want to test my skills against them!" Bai Jinzhi said with a look of innocence.
"We are mere commoners. How dare we spar with the Commandery Princess!" one of them hastily spoke up. "If we accidentally injure your precious body, we would be guilty of an unforgivable crime!"

Seeing Bai Jinzhi’s intent to chat with these people, Shen Yanzong glanced at Lu Ping. Seeing that Lu Ping remained silent, Shen Yanzong stood obediently aside and smiled. "It’s just a coincidence!"
"We’ve read a bit, but... we’re just not cut out for it! So, we stopped studying!" the man added.
Bai Jinzhi tilted her head and glanced at Lu Ping. Understanding her signal, Lu Ping unexpectedly made a move on the man.
