"Hey, wait up!"
After leaving the company, Xu Xiaoya saw Li Yang hailing a taxi by the roadside and was about to get in when she quickly ran over.
Li Yang turned his head, saw Xu Xiaoya's figure, and asked curiously, "Miss Xu, why did you come out?"
"Hmph, it was my grandfather who sent me out. Such a grown man, can't even keep track of his own things. Is this yours?"
Xu Xiaoya, with a huff, held up the item in her hand and presented it to Li Yang, asking.
"It really is. Thank you, Miss Xu."
Li Yang saw the property contract and keys and immediately reached out to take them.
However, before he could touch the contract, Xu Xiaoya retracted her hand, deliberately teasing Li Yang, "You want the contract? Call me 'good sister,' and I'll give it to you!"
"Miss Xu, I'm older than you. If anyone's calling anyone sister, it should be you calling me sister. How can you bear the title of 'sister'?" Li Yang naturally refused.
"Tsk, if you don't call me that, I'll tear up your contract, throw away the keys, and make sure you never get this villa in your life."
Xu Xiaoya deliberately made a move as if to tear up the contract, which immediately made Li Yang frown.
This little girl is truly spoiled and willful; no wonder Old Master Xu can't do anything about her.
Li Yang knew arguing with her was useless. After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly darted, and he said, "Miss Xu, we were competing inside just now, and the outcome wasn't decided. How about we make a bet?"
"I'll let you have one hand, and you still won't be able to beat me. If you can win, I won't want this villa; I'll give it to you for free. But if you lose, you not only have to return the villa to me but also agree to one condition."
"Heh, with you?"
Xu Xiaoya, always competitive, was instantly intrigued by such a thrilling wager.
She glanced at Li Yang with disdain and said, "I'll bet with you, but the thought of you winning against me is just wishful thinking!"
"Then please, I'll only use one hand to fight you. If I use my second hand, it counts as a loss," Li Yang said, voluntarily putting one hand behind his back.
"You're bound to lose!"
Xu Xiaoya put away the contract and keys, sizing up Li Yang. She thought that her direct attacks with fists and leg techniques earlier had all been lost to him, so his defense must be very strong.
To defeat him, she needed to think of another way!
A moment later, Xu Xiaoya's gaze swept towards Li Yang's head. The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and a swift "Carefree Palm" struck directly at Li Yang's face!
Li Yang saw her agile footwork, which seemed even faster than before, and he parried the move with a dodge.
But unexpectedly, as Li Yang reached out to grab her wrist, she suddenly changed her posture and, with a swish, ran behind Li Yang. Her previous move was just a feint.
In reality, her objective was to ambush him from behind.
Before Li Yang could react, she suddenly punched from behind, aiming straight for Li Yang's forehead.
She thought this would guarantee her victory and defeat Li Yang in one move.
But in reality, all her moves were seen through and observed by Li Yang.
Li Yang closed his eyes and listened carefully to the sounds around him, accurately judging her position.
Before the punch landed, a palm strike came first!
Li Yang's figure was as swift as a phantom. He instantly disappeared from Xu Xiaoya's sight. In a mere second, Li Yang attacked from the side, first hitting Xu Xiaoya's shoulder with a palm strike. While she was recovering, Li Yang grabbed her wrist with one hand, turned behind her, and easily subdued her with a joint lock.
"You lost!" Li Yang said calmly, pressing her arm.
"You cheated!"
Xu Xiaoya hadn't expected Li Yang to be so powerful. His moves were sharp, and his speed was much faster than hers. Even her senior disciple couldn't match this skill.
"How did I cheat? I only used one hand; I didn't break any rules," Li Yang stated plainly.
"Hmph, you used one hand, but you used your feet. You, a grown man, relying on your speed advantage over me and deliberately tricking me with a feint, winning with such insidious tactics doesn't count!" Xu Xiaoya's eyes darted around as she deliberately found fault.
"Then how do you think it should count?" Li Yang saw through her little scheme. To make her accept defeat willingly, he asked calmly.
"You can't move your feet; you can only attack within a limited range. If you win this way, it will count!" Xu Xiaoya deliberately made things difficult for Li Yang.
Li Yang thought for a moment, then voluntarily drew a circle on the ground that was just enough to stand with both feet, stepped inside, and said, "How about this? I'll stand within this circle and take ten of your moves without retaliating."
"If I step out of the circle within ten moves, it counts as my loss. If I don't step out, it counts as your loss. Is that acceptable?"
"Heh, alright, you said it!"
Xu Xiaoya's eyes lit up. She thought, 'I can't believe he dares to not fight back. In that case, not ten moves, but just three will be enough to defeat him.'
Coming back to her senses, Xu Xiaoya gave Li Yang no chance to prepare, wanting to catch him off guard.
She immediately launched a "Sweep Across a Thousand Armies," sweeping her leg across the entire circle. If Li Yang tripped, he would definitely step out of the circle.
However, Li Yang wasn't foolish; he had anticipated this move and was prepared. As her leg swept towards him, Li Yang leaped up, performing a mid-air somersault, landing on one hand, perfectly within the circle.
"Miss Xu, that was one move, but you didn't succeed. Keep trying," Li Yang teased playfully.
"You're infuriating me, and that didn't work!"
Seeing her move miss, Xu Xiaoya felt a surge of anger.
The corners of her mouth curled, and she immediately launched a surprise attack from the upper, middle, and lower levels. She appeared in different positions successively, attacking with fists and palms.
However, with every attack, Li Yang could accurately predict her moves and easily defuse them.
Eight moves had already passed, but she still hadn't touched Li Yang at all.
"Miss Xu, there are only two moves left. You should try your best," Li Yang counted the moves for her, a confident smile on his face.
"Hmph, I'll still win against you."
Xu Xiaoya's cheeks puffed up red with anger, her eyes darting around, searching for a way to win.
A few seconds later, she suddenly had an idea and looked at Li Yang with a sly smile, "Li Yang, aren't you very skilled? Let's see how you deal with this move of mine!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xiaoya actually lunged at Li Yang, intending to sacrifice herself by hugging him directly and pushing him out of the circle.
However, the moment her body collided with him, she felt as if she had hit a wall. Her chest struck Li Yang's chest, and her body involuntarily bounced back several steps!
How could this be?
She retreated step by step, looking at Li Yang in disbelief, "How much do you weigh? Why are you like a dead pig?"
"Miss Xu, are you alright? I am indeed a bit heavy, equivalent to two of you. You only have one move left. Cherish it." Li Yang said with a faint smile, his hands crossed over his chest.
