"Senior Chu Moyin." Ouyang Huanshi's eyes flickered slightly. "What do you mean by this? Why did you say half and half, deliberately giving people the impression that you have a hidden agenda?"
"Really?" Chu Moyin glanced at Bai Xiaoqian and Chu Shangli, who was protecting her. "Did you two girls hear any hidden meaning in my words?"
Bai Xiaoqian blinked her big watery eyes and kept shaking her head: "No."
She even pretended to have suddenly understood something: "I was saying that I told the senior sister that she didn't need to come with me, but why did she still insist on coming with me? I thought it was just her concern as a tsundere, but it turns out there is such a reason. Really, why didn't the senior sister explain it to us clearly before? I was almost scared to tears——"
In fact, there were indeed tear marks in the corners of Bai Xiaoqian's eyes, but it was not "to the point of being "almost scared to tears."
The cooperation between Bai Xiaoqian and Chu Shangli can be said to be almost seamless.
Because Bai Xiaoqian's face looked even more harmless than Ouyang Huanshi's, when she spoke, people who disliked this type of person would deny everything she said and think she was a complete liar, while people who liked her type would
Chu Shangli rolled his eyes. "Chu Moyin, if something like this happens again, please don't keep me in the dark. I admit that my fighting ability is indeed not bad, but I am not meant to be treated as a monkey for others to watch. What if you go too far and I get hurt by the young master? That's fine, but if I accidentally get serious, will I end up in the Imperial Juvenile Detention Center? You are so eager to show off and you know the consequences, why don't you just make an excuse yourself?"
Gongyi Tianhe stroked the broken sword at his waist, and looked at his eyes as if he was thinking about something.
Ouyang Huanshi put on a puppet-like expression on his puppet-like face and made a slight gesture.
"Who do you think you are?" Liz Cheska jumped out. "Who gave you the confidence to think you could injure Young Master Gongyi? Do you even know that Young Master Gongyi has been a rare genius since childhood? No matter how high-ranking the teacher is, as long as he teaches for no more than six months, he will definitely surpass the teacher. Someone like you, who just relied on the Young Master's mercy and some chance, has gotten so arrogant?"
However, although the onlookers were still whispering in the same way as before, it was much quieter than before.
"You." Gong Yitian ignored the angry Liz Chesca and the noisy voices. His ocean-blue eyes stared only at Chu Shangli. "Do you really have the confidence to hurt me?"
"I..." Chu Shangli took a step forward.
"You're stuck for words." Liz scoffed. "You're really just bragging."
"I can." Chu Shangli took a deep breath, and the words he uttered were like explosives that could explode the air.
"Really?" Gong Yi Tianhe asked again, as if wanting to confirm: "Are you sure?"
"Of course. Bragging can certainly bring people self-esteem, but that self-esteem is just a paper-made, fragile illusion. The bigger the bubble, the more tragically it bursts. If I didn't have complete confidence, how could I have made such a bold statement? For me, it would do more harm than good—as long as I want to study in Meso, everyone will remember me for overestimating my own abilities and challenging the young master of the Gongyi family, and ultimately being defeated miserably. Then, a school like that would be like hell. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stay there for a week."
Chu Shangli bent down and picked up the broken ice blade.
She gripped the icy blade to protect her hand from being hurt, but the cold blade still spread between her fingers.
This is indeed an excellent knife, and it took a lot of effort to make it.
"I also know that words are not enough, so—"
"Are you going to challenge me with half of the broken blade?" Gong Yitian's deep-sea eyes flickered with a flicker of fire. "Very good, very good. Then let's not continue in the restaurant. There are too many cluttered facilities here, and it's hard to maneuver, and it'll delay everyone's lunch. Let's go to the dojo or the rooftop. You can choose the weapon."
Ugh, what's with all the talk about delaying everyone's lunch? Look at the restaurants in Mae Sot right now, who's ordering food? Even those who didn't plan to eat in the cafeteria have been called over by their friends.
"Glad to accept." Chu Shangli stroked the ice blade.
