Chu Shangli knew clearly who Gongyi Shuiqing saw and why he was laughing, but he deliberately followed his gaze and looked towards the corner.
Ouyang Huanshi's figure could no longer be seen.
"Uncle Gongyi..." Chu Shangli looked confused: "What were you laughing at just now?"
"Nothing." Gongyi Shuiqing opened the door of the study: "Come in."
Chu Shangli nodded, Gongyi Shuiqing pondered for a moment, winked at the others, and closed the door of the study.
Chu Shangli originally wanted to ask why the door was closed, but after seeing Gong Yi Shuiqing's sly smile, he finally swallowed the question -
"So?" Gong Yi Shui Qing knelt on the ground and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Chu Shangli was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he kowtowed three times to Gong Yi Shui Qing.
"Huh?" Gongyi Shuiqing waved his hands hurriedly, "Why are you suddenly performing such a grand ceremony?"
"This is an apology." Chu Shangli sat upright and said, "I deliberately provoked Miss Ouyang Huanshi, Gong Yitian, and the young master, just to get close to the Gongyi family..."
Gongyi Shuiqing narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment: "So?"
"I have always admired the swordsmanship of the Gongyi family. Every time I see a live match, I can't help but feel excited. Whether it's Gongyi Tian and the young master, or your uncle Gongyi—"
"You actually watched my game?" Gong Yi Shuiqing tilted his head slightly and smiled meaningfully.
"Yes, I have seen it—" Chu Shangli said softly, "Although I don't have the lethality of Gong Yitian and the young master, and I can't guarantee victory every time, but—every move is aimed at never taking anyone's life, and is elegant and beautiful. The only three times you failed were because the opponent was a life-threatening style, and the living sword cannot defeat the swordsmanship with the awareness of certain death—but, you used your method to successfully cut off the opponent's life—that is, you only harmed your own life, and not the opponent's life. Unfortunately, the judges at the time didn't seem to see this, or if they did see it, it didn't conform to their basic definition of strength and weakness—however, if I were the judge, I think even if it would cause controversy, I would think you are the better one."
Gong Yi Shui Qing uttered a surprised "Huh?" "You actually knew I lost three times...?"
"Of course, I've already told you that I've seen your matches—all of them. You might not believe it, but I did."
"Where did you see it?" Gong Yi Shui Qing put away all the smiles on his face and asked with a serious expression -
"In the library of Misot Academy. There's information in the CD lending area—"
"Ah..." Gongyi Shuiqing blinked and rubbed his forehead gently: "Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten - there are indeed those old things there..."
He paused and then said, "It's a good thing you can still find something to play now."
Although CD-playing media is quite rare these days, I went to numerous electronics stores before finally finding a secondhand shop and found an old DVD player. They charged me 900 Imperial Coins for such a shabby item. The initial asking price was an outrageous 1700… Considering that even back in the heyday of CD players, it wasn't even worth 900. It took a lot of negligence to finally get the price down…"
"Well, it's more expensive than the value of those discs." Gong Yi Shuiqing said half-jokingly, "Anyway, I definitely won't waste this money. You're really persistent..."
