"Is it really a sorcery...?"
Ouyang Huanshi felt a little regretful when he said this, but he couldn't take back what he had said.
"Witchcraft?" Chu Shangli shrugged. "Strictly speaking, I'm using the Gongyi family's secret technique. If you think I'm using witchcraft, then the Gongyi family is a home of monsters in your eyes, right?"
“It seems not…”
Ouyang Huanshi took two deep breaths, and finally suppressed the urge to ask, "How do you prove that you are using the Gongyi family's secret technique?"
With so many people and so many eyes watching, it is impossible to cheat in this regard.
Even if one or two people are vain, she doesn't think Gongyi Shuiqing and Gongyi Tianhe would lie on this issue.
"Ah, ah—" Ouyang Huanshi stroked his temples and calmed down. "So, after all, the Gongyi family's technique is more powerful?"
"No, they are both amazing. However, you can't compare a technique with a person - just like a person wearing a piece of clothing, you can't compare the clothing with the person's beauty - so, if you must compare, you still have to compare with a person." Chu Shangli threw the sword, letting it spin in the air, and caught it with his backhand -
"If you think about it this way, I'm the stronger one now."
"..." Ouyang Huanshi sneered, "You are really not modest."
"Probably. But, capable people should be humble - are they afraid that incompetent people will feel inferior? Or do they want ignorant people to appear less ignorant?" Chu Shangli sneered faintly: "However, unfortunately, I don't want to accommodate anyone - in my opinion, ignorance will not change depending on whether others accommodate me or not - if everyone is humble, then it is very likely that the disadvantaged will never realize the fact that they are disadvantaged - and may even lead others to suppress those who show their edge - but this is very strange, isn't it? Only ignorant people are allowed to show their ignorance, but hard-working people are not allowed to say how hard they work, and the results cannot be displayed - then the meaning of hard work seems to disappear in an instant -"
"Are you working so hard just to impress others?" Ouyang Huanshi said disdainfully, "Isn't it to strengthen yourself?"
Chu Shangli was surprised and said, "How strange! I thought Miss Ouyang hated me. Now I admire you a little. You are worthy of being a Miss. Even when facing someone you dislike, you can still praise them so frankly."
Ouyang Huanshi couldn't help but complain in her heart - she couldn't remember when she had ever praised Chu Shangli.
However, she was inexplicably unable to express herself - she always felt inexplicably embarrassed.
"Well, come to think of it, I'm a noble being in the eyes of the young lady—but I must point out that I'm neither noble nor lovable—and I certainly wouldn't do anything thankless. Someone who works solely for their own benefit—I can't arrogantly deny the existence of such a person, but at least I'm definitely not destined for such a life. If this world became a deserted place, I can't imagine myself still practicing, studying, and increasing my brain activity... So, as expected, existing solely for the sake of self-improvement is impossible."
Chu Shangli placed his hand on his heart: "I want to be praised, I want to be held high, I want others to regard me as a great genius - and of course, I also want to use my own power to realize my wishes... Almost nothing of all this exists for myself, and most of it exists for others - this is the truth -"
