Qi Xi's words to the other two were all heard by Qi Sa on the opposite side.
Upon hearing them, his gentle smile instantly turned slightly somber, but he controlled it well and immediately resumed his previous expression.
"Miss Qi Xi, it's almost time. Would you like to continue this topic after we finish?"
"After all, discussing this topic in front of an opponent might be somewhat detrimental to your dignity, wouldn't it?"
"..." Qi Xi looked at Su Yuehan and Fu Wen beside her rolling their eyes, and she felt like laughing.
"Mr. Qi Sa, if I recall correctly, in our understanding, what you just said is considered quite superfluous."
Regarding your double standards, I'm afraid they won't threaten me.
"You... Miss Qi Xi, you are indeed sharp-tongued!"
"I think we don't need to waste any more time. We can finish early and have a good meal."
It's just that she wondered who would be the one enjoying the good meal.
Qi Sa smiled at Qi Xi, waiting for her reply.
However, Qi Xi glanced at him without changing her expression and continued, "Well, then I hope Mr. Qi Sa can still enjoy a meal in a good mood later."
"You don't need to worry about that, Miss Qi Xi. Let's just get started."
"Alright! Then let's begin."
"Please!" Qi Sa clearly gritted his teeth on this word.
"You are too polite, Mr. Qi Sa."
"Then I won't be polite." Qi Xi continued to say with a smile as she looked at him.
Then, the moment her voice fell, she put away her smile, shuffled through the papers in her hand, and finally settled on one, smiling.
Since there was a meal to be had, it was best to finish quickly.
With that thought, the corners of Qi Xi's mouth curved upwards again.
"Mr. Qi Sa, please listen carefully."
"You don't need to worry about that." His expression, showing no concern, didn't betray any reaction when he heard Qi Xi's words.
Qi Xi's lips curved upwards again, and she began to speak the content she had prepared.
"It's like this, the content is very simple..."
She didn't know if Qi Sa was lucky or unlucky, but this content was something she had discussed with Teacher Qi before. However, Teacher Qi thought the research was a bit complex at the time and told her to put it aside for now.
She had indeed put it aside, but she had taken it out to research during her free time not long ago, and it had taken her quite a bit of time.
This was a topic that even her teacher hadn't had a chance to discuss yet, but it was benefiting Qi Sa first.
Initially, Qi Sa, who was listening to Qi Xi speak, was very indifferent. He even spun his pen lightly in his hand, showing no reaction at all.
However, as Qi Xi delved deeper into her explanation, his expression changed, and he tightened his grip on the pen.
From being initially unwilling to move, he slowly began to take notes, and there was an increasingly urgent trend.
Akai and Ellie beside him were not truly doing nothing; they were merely arrogant, otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent here.
Therefore, before Qi Sa even began, the two of them had already started taking notes.
However, the effect seemed to be not very good.
Especially the slight panic in their eyes made Su Yuehan, Fu Wen, and many students below who noticed it secretly chuckle.
They wanted to laugh but dared not do so freely, so they could only suppress it.
Qi Xi, on the other hand, looked serious, occasionally smiling slightly, as if she were genuinely communicating with someone.
After speaking for about five minutes, Qi Xi slowly stopped.
"Mr. Qi Sa, I've said about as much as I can. In fact, there are still many deficiencies in the follow-up. I hope to use this opportunity to discuss it thoroughly with you, to enlighten me and allow me to further my research."
Qi Xi's words instantly changed their expressions.
"!!!" This was simply an insult!
Anger flickered in Qi Sa's eyes.
He wanted to get up and leave immediately, but he held back.
"Mr. Qi Sa, please begin."
Time waits for no one, and she was preparing to eat later.
Seeing Qi Xi's smiling face, Qi Sa simply chose to lower his head and look at what he had just noted down.
Akai and Ellie beside him immediately followed suit, pushing what they had noted down towards him.
Hoping it would be of some help, they realized.
These three were specifically brought here to disrupt, yet at this moment, they were helpless.
Qi Sa took them and quickly scanned them, then, suppressing his temper, began to organize his thoughts in his mind.
After writing, drawing, and thinking for a while longer, Qi Sa finally looked up at Qi Xi opposite him.
This woman was formidable!
"Miss Qi Xi, you have excellent skills!"
"Alright, there's no need for praise. Let's just begin."
"...Alright!"
"Then, Miss Qi Xi, please listen carefully!"
"Please."
Qi Sa gritted his teeth and directly began his performance.
Qi Xi acknowledged what Qi Sa said when he first opened his mouth.
However, this was merely a facade. If it were truly that simple, she and Teacher Qi wouldn't have been troubled.
Therefore, the development proceeded as Qi Xi had predicted; as the discussion went on, Qi Sa himself started to struggle.
However, Qi Xi did not stop him, but continued to smile gently as she looked at him.
"..."
After about ten minutes, Qi Sa stopped.
"Miss Qi Xi, please offer your guidance."
He didn't believe that this person in front of him had truly figured it all out.
"Since Mr. Qi Sa has said so, I'll simply explain it to you, so you don't lose unfairly!"
"!!!" Qi Sa's face darkened considerably, but he remained silent.
"I must say, Mr. Qi Sa, you do have some skill. At least the beginning is excellent. I acknowledge that." Qi Xi nodded.
It was just the truth.
"However, I cannot agree with the latter part. Earlier, Mr. Qi Sa, you said... actually, this should be approached from another angle..."
Qi Xi's analysis was point by point, logical and well-founded.
"...What do you think of what I've said, Mr. Qi Sa?" Qi Xi looked at him.
"..."
"You've said it very well!"
"...I... I concede."
Although he was very reluctant to admit defeat, the facts forced him to do so.
Qi Xi smiled slightly, "Then... I accept your concession."
It was as expected. Qi Sa was indeed a bit smarter than she had anticipated.
"Then, Mr. Qi Sa, your question, please." At this moment, Qi Xi did not display her joy of victory but gave him an opportunity.
"..."
"No need. Qi Sa knows he is no match for Miss Qi Xi, so he will not continue."
This woman was definitely not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
Qi Sa could see very clearly now. If he continued, he might lose even more miserably.
Given this, it was better to stop here.
"Mr. Qi Sa, are you sure?" Qi Xi asked him.
"I am sure."
"Then that's a real shame. I was hoping to exchange a few more moves with Mr. Qi Sa." Qi Xi smiled.
"It seems that's not possible now. Then we shall meet again."
"..."
Qi Sa did not speak but waited for someone to come on stage to announce the end.
When they saw someone coming up, it wasn't just Qi Sa and his companions who felt relieved.
The students who had been watching for a long time were even more relieved.
"Fantastic!"
"These three people are too outstanding!"
"And Qi Xi at the end, she's too audacious! But why do I like her so much?"
"Senior sister is amazing!"
"Goddess!"
"Hunk!"
"Let's go, get ready."
"Seize the opportunity, we'll go get autographs in a moment!"
"Okay!"
"This is too amazing!"
"The most exciting day in so many days!"
"..."
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Qi Xi and the others slowly stood up and smiled.
