"Actually... I also think it's a bit expensive..." Chu Shangli showed an embarrassed and awkward smile: "So, one of the reasons why I came here today is to hope that you can reimburse the money for my DVD player."
“…”
Gongyi Shuiqing was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter that was almost inconsistent with his gentle and gentlemanly image.
The seriousness just now seemed to disappear as if it were fake.
"Could it be that... you're also going to ask your idol to reimburse you for the pillows, CDs, posters, and pajamas you bought just to chase after your idol?"
"I don't know." Chu Shangli blinked his eyes: "I've never been a fan of celebrities. The only things I'm interested in are martial arts and cooking."
"..." Gong Yi Shuiqing laughed for a while before calming down. "Fortunately, you've never been a fan of a star, otherwise the scene would have been devastating when you stopped being a fan—not referring to your idol, but the comments section of your private space. After all, apart from you, I've never seen anyone ask for such money..."
“Yet you saw it today.”
"Yes, I saw it." Gong Yi Shui Qing nodded. "And I have decided to reimburse you for the 900. After all, the Gong Yi family doesn't make money from this. It's an honor for me that you were able to watch my game and give such an accurate evaluation."
He paused. "But surely you're here for more than just these 900 points, right? If so, I don't think it's excessive, nor do I think such a request deserves three kowtows from you. Instead, I should repay you twice—in all these years, you're the fourth person to have analyzed my true inner state during the competition."
"Of course not. I admire martial arts, and I can't help but feel excited for you and Master Gong Yitian. So, my second request is, of course, to challenge my idol myself. You should have heard Master Gong Yitian mention this. This time, I'm staying at Gong Yitian's house for three days to prepare for the competition in three days..."
"Yes. I know."
"Then, the third thing, which I think is the most important thing—" Chu Shangli began to wipe her palms, as if her palms were sweating a lot—
In fact, she doesn't sweat easily, but when she wipes her palms, she can ensure that there are basically not many flaws under the other person's gaze.
"I want to go into Gongyi's Sword Forging Pavilion and take a look."
“…”
Gongyi Shuiqing looked her over and over. "Your demands are becoming increasingly excessive and outrageous... Do you know what the Gongyi family's Sword Forging Pavilion is like? How many valuable treasures are there? Wanting to visit the Sword Forging Pavilion is even more unreasonable than coming to this study to talk with me."
"I know that too..." Chu Shangli rubbed his hands nervously: "So, I don't just want to visit, I want to use the sword-making furnace in the Sword-Forging Pavilion..."
"Does this mean... you can forge swords?"
"It's not that I can, but I'm very good at it..." Chu Shangli said in a barely audible voice, "I know it's very presumptuous of me to say this in front of the Gongyi family, but I dare say that in the empire, you may not find anyone better than me in sword-making skills."
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open——
"Where did this little girl come from? How shameless!"
