Qiu Tao flew into a rage. After hearing what Xiao Chun said, he immediately raised his hand to strike.
However, Shi Mingyue, who was right beside Xiao Chun, was faster than Qiu Tao. The instant he raised his hand, Shi Mingyue had already used the sheath of her sword to block his arm.
A moment later, a wretched scream came from Qiu Tao.
Shi Mingyue was quite strong. Even just blocking with her scabbard was enough to make Qiu Tao suffer.
Besides, Qiu Tao had thrown the first punch and had just been insolent to her young mistress. Shi Mingyue didn't mind teaching him a bit more of a lesson.
So, after knocking aside Qiu Tao's arm, Shi Mingyue twirled the scabbard in a flourish and, without hesitation, smacked the flat of it against his chest.
The blow sent Qiu Tao stumbling back several steps. He lost his footing and fell flat on his backside, as if Shi Mingyue had pushed him down with a single hand.
