This person was none other than one of Old Master Chi’s guards who were even more well-hidden than Old Wu’s bodyguard.
Ling Pinyuan was shocked, but when she saw his leg coming towards her, she could no longer retract her own. She could only brace herself and let her calf collide with his.
It was obvious that the man was the kind who hid his real strength without the need to show off. There was no way to tell if she could withstand that attack from him.
This made Ling Pinyuan increase her strength to the maximum since she could not retract her leg.
This was the only way to ensure that the bones in her leg would not break.
However, just as the clash between Ling Pinyuan and the guard was about to happen, a shadow flashed to their side.
The guard who was wholly prepared for the moment got pulled away at the last moment.
Ling Pinyuan did not even have the time to respond through her expression before clashing into Zhong Nuannuan’s foot.
Yes, foot, not leg.
Ling Pinyuan only felt a shockingly powerful force, and before she could react, she shot backward.
She could only plant her feet onto the ground, scraping against the ground as she struggled to reduce the impact.
However, her opponent’s force was too strong… Too strong. Ling Pinyuan fell backward after taking more than ten steps in retreat. Eventually, she lost her balance and fell into the fish pond with a loud splash.
There is a trend among jewelry stores to raise koi fish in front of their storefront to attract good luck in business, and Lingyun Pavilion was no exception. There was a very big and beautiful pond at the entrance of the store, and there were many koi fish in it. Since Ling Pinyuan reached the edge of the pond and failed to balance out the strong force, she fell backward and plunged forcefully into the pond.
“Eldest Miss!”
“Pinyuan!”
The people from Lingyun Pavilion and Luo Mengying quickly pulled Ling Pinyuan up.
When she stepped out of the pond, she was completely drenched.
At that instant, she looked at Zhong Nuannuan in a daze.
Not only Ling Pinyuan, but even Old Master Chi and the onlookers were also stunned.
So…
Did Zhong Nuannuan kick Ling Pinyuan into the pond just now?
Right?!
“Zhong Nuannuan!”
Ling Pinyuan was furious.
This woman actually sent her flying into the pond when she was distracted.
Ling Pinyuan, who was utterly embarrassed, self-hypnotized herself to forget the fact that she increased her strength to the maximum level when she saw someone rush out to block her kick at Zhong Nuannuan.
“Since you’re still so shameless after I gave you so many chances, you can’t blame me.”
“You were the one who attacked Miss Zhong first!”
“That’s right! You can’t afford to lose and even tried to attack her sneakily. After getting sent into the pond, you still wanna accuse her of being shameless after giving her chances…”
“Shut up!”
After receiving Ling Pinyuan’s lioness roar, the onlookers did not dare to speak anymore.
“Zhong Nuannuan, I didn’t expect you to be so capable. Since you can fight too, prove to me that you’re not dodder grass with your real strength!”
After saying that, Ling Pinyuan charged toward Zhong Nuannuan. When she was two meters away from Zhong Nuannuan, she raised her leg and aimed her kick at Zhong Nuannuan’s face.
If this kick landed, not only would Zhong Nuannuan’s face be deformed, her nose would definitely break.
However, Zhong Nuannuan remained unmoved in the face of a strong enemy. The guards wanted to step forward to help but Old Master Chi stopped them.
Currently, the old master looked at his granddaughter-in-law with a burning gaze.
With regards to his granddaughter-in-law, the old master was overflowing with confidence. He felt that his granddaughter-in-law was omnipotent—someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with his grandson.
