She must have known before anyone could Part I

The sparring match had begun. Two noble ladies stood on opposite sides for a long while. Bai Yu and Chu Jiaoxin did not move. They only stared at each other calmly. No one dared utter half a syllable.

Eventually, Bai Yu attacked first. She knew Chu Jiaoxin was not an easy foe. The last time she could handle her, she took advantage of her hot-headedness. However, after learning that Chu Jiaoxin was a disciple of the divine valley, Bai Yu could no longer underestimate her. She might not have been trained since she was young, but her skills must be formidable to a degree.

Bai Yu’s attack was deflected by Chu Jiaoxin. Seeing this, Bai Yu headed further and continued. Her swordplay was quick but did not carry a killing intent. The intent was to irritate and provoke the opponent rather than to cause real harm. And it seemed to be effective.
